The temperature is adjustable, allowing users to fine-tune their brew to their preferred taste profile.

The Oracle also prioritizes customization, offering a range of settings to cater to individual preferences. Users can adjust grind size, shot volume, and milk texture to create unique beverages tailored to their liking. The one-touch operation for various coffee drinks makes it convenient to prepare everything from espressos to cappuccinos with ease.

Furthermore, the machine features a stainless steel construction, ensuring durability and longevity. Its sleek design and intuitive interface, complete with an LCD display, provide a modern touch that appeals to aesthetics while enhancing usability.

In summary, the Breville BES980XL, The Oracle, stands out as an exceptional home espresso machine, equipped with an array of sophisticated features such as a dual boiler system, automatic grinding and tamping, PID temperature control, and customizable settings.
