Beware, the grinder is a little loud and takes its time, too.

The Sage Oracle Touch has several noteworthy features that caught our attention. Pre-Infusion FunctionThat’s why the Oracle Touch’s automatic dosing and tamping station is so appealing. Once you’ve selected a grind setting, you simply insert the portafilter into the grinding cradle and the machine takes care of the rest. Inveterate coffee tweakers will be pleased to see that you can fine-tune the brew temperature from 86c to 96c in one-degree increments – something Sage proudly claims the Oracle can maintain with +/-1℃ accuracy. However, you can’t tweak the amount of coffee used for each shot. You can have a 22g double or an 11g single, and that’s it. I’ve read online you can subtly tweak the dose by taking the automatic tamping hardware to pieces and reassembling it but this isn’t exactly the last word in on-the-fly adjustability. Sage Oracle Touch review: Verdict Listen, I’m not the biggest fan of built-in grinders. For starters, if the thing breaks, you’re out an espresso machine. Plus, as the machine heats up the grinder becomes less stable, and grind settings can shift. To top it all off, a built-in grinder can make a lot of mess. Its outer and inner surfaces are made of brushed stainless steel, with a water tank capacity of 250g. The Oracle Touch is a great espresso machine that consistently offers great coffee with various customisable settings. Its automated grinding, tamping, and milk frothing simplify the process while still allowing for manual adjustments to fine-tune your coffee experience. Can you manually steam milk with Oracle Touch?
