BES980 specifications

The Breville BES980, also known as the Oracle, is a sophisticated espresso machine that combines professional-level performance with user-friendly features. This premium espresso maker is designed to cater to coffee aficionados and novices alike, providing an all-in-one solution for brewing café-quality espresso at home.

One of the standout features of the BES980 is its dual boiler system. This innovative design allows for simultaneous extraction of espresso and steam for frothing milk, eliminating wait times and ensuring optimal temperature control for both processes. The machine is equipped with a 15-bar Italian pump that guarantees consistent pressure during extraction, resulting in rich and flavorful espresso shots.

The Oracle incorporates advanced PID temperature control, which stabilizes the water temperature to within one degree for precise brewing.

This technology measures the milk temperature and creates the ideal microfoam, allowing for latte art and velvety textures that rival coffee shop offerings. The machine also includes a pre-infusion function that gently soaks the coffee grounds before extraction, ensuring even saturation and improved flavor extraction.

In terms of user interface, the Oracle features a user-friendly LCD display that guides users through the brewing process.
