I have the oracle and a profitec 700 and they are both of value to me. Keep the oracle at work and it saves me time. I like to slow down at home with the profitec and savor the process. Slightly better results from the profitec/ceado e37s combo but as I say, the art is fun when you have time and will always help your drinks improve on the oracle as you get the best grind setting/brew time by experience. Cheers
Hi Drew, Thanks for the comment! Your Pro 700/Ceado E37S is a darn fine combo which should produce a slightly better result. The Oracle is a time saver, less messy and helps with consistency as well.
pogokam sounds like the oracle is a perfect fit for you. The quality is very close to my prosumer machine (Profitec 700) that I am very happy with the quality. Milk texturing is very good even using the auto froth function and suitable for latte art as shown in the video. The only real variable you adjust on a regular basis is the grind size and even that is minimal!
you probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Danny Hugh Instablaster ;)
@Gannon Easton I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thank you for such a comprehensive yet concise review.
Hi Robin, You are welcome and thank you for the comment!
Marc
Any better alternatives for the Oracle Touch? Thank you.
How can I maintain my oracle touch to the max potential I backflush after every brew and will it tell me when it’s time to d’escale?
What is the maximum cup height this can accommodate?
Hi Marc, can you please tell me the settings on the Oracle touch to make the latte art work? I can’t seem to make it work. I use cold full milk, grinder at 35, brewtime 25sec, single dose, milk froth at number 1 at 65 degrees. Coffee illy decaf beans. Are these sertings correct? Thanks for your reply.
Hi Mark, I enjoy your videos. Could you do a head to head between the La Spaziale S1 Mimi Vivaldi II and Profitec Pro 500 PID? I’m almost ready to pull the trigger and buy one of them with a grinder. Thank you.
Hey Mark. After brewing an espresso shot .. does the oracle touch have a 3 way solenoid valve and is it a dry puck or is it wet. And if so, is that bad . I’m very interested in the Oracle Touch but that is my last question..thank you in advance Mark
Hi, If you were deciding between this machine, The Breville Oracle Touch and say the Gaggia Academia or Babila, which one would you choose?
Hi can u do video on how to "ghost ride" the steam wand while steaming milk? Thx
Hi JTK, I'm not sure what you mean by "ghost ride". Do you mean manual frothing?
Can you still manually froth your own milk?
Just bought this. Hopefully it comes in working and makes nice coffee
I dont see any grouphead washing/cleaning after extraction which i believe there is still coffee residue leftover on the grouphead thx
Hi Ferry, Thanks for the comment. Good idea to give a little purge of water from the group to knock of grounds every once in awhile.
Marc
Had it confirmed from Sage (uk version of Breville) that the inside of this is exactly the same as the “old” version. It’s the touchscreen that refreshes the range (and adds a few hundred ££ on top)
Hi LK, Thanks for sharing that info. A couple of other differences I'm aware of: On the Touch model you can no longer adjust tamping pressure or pre-infusion level. Guessing non-adjustable tamping pressure may simplify the mechanics of the machine a bit. Don't think that's a loss as most in the espresso community seem to agree tamping pressure is not critical so long as consistent. I also wonder if milk frothing has been improved in the touch model. I hope to find out more specific details when I talk with Breville's Phil McKnight at the Specialty Coffee Expo in a few weeks.
Ah OK, wasnt made aware of that. They really are trying to make this a "one stop shop" for espresso aren't they. People with the money to drop on this machine (which i loved) but don't want to spend time tweaking.
Thank you❤️
You’re welcome 😊

A few simple questions that I have yet to see addressed with tips for brewing at home with coffee like this. What is the correct way to add the sugar? In Miami, and our espresso being so popular, I see different styles with adding of the sugar. While some stir it directly into the coffee, others (especially those for South America) make a slurry of sorts with a small about of coffee dissolving the sugar first. I question is the latter step is unnecessary. I am confused about another item omitted from videos that I am seeing. So you add the coffee, and you can decide if you want a single, double shot, etc. If I only wanted a single shot, would not the remaining coffee be wasted?
Hi Carolyn, I guess it depends on where you are but adding sugar to espresso is not very common in many areas. Espresso has evolved over the years and today's 3rd wave coffees and tighter control of brewing parameters result in a beverage that is not bitter. Go back a few decades or further and espresso was bitter. The first espresso, brewed more than a century ago was made with steam! It was very bitter. Older generation Italians almost always add sugar. For those that do add sugar, (I don't and I see very few people who do) most common is to add the sugar after a complete espresso is made. At least that's what I saw in Italy and how it's done by Italians I've observed here in the US. As for amount of coffee used the old Italian standard was 7g for a single and 14g for a double. The dose weights have edged up a bit. The average according to a recent specialty coffee association survey of baristas was 19g for a double. Very few cafes bother pulling singles. They are much more difficult to get right. The home machines which make espresso usually dose different amounts for singles and doubles.
Hope that helps!
Marc
Does the auto on work when the machine is powered off but plugged in.?
Yes. You can program a time for the machine to turn on.
Hi Mark, do you know why the Oracle touch doesn’t allow shot volume like the original Oracle. Does it make a big difference? Thanks
Hi Nestor, Thanks for the question. I'm not sure why. But, you can program extraction times or extract in manual mode where you push to start and then push to stop an extraction. See page 12 of the manual for more detail: www.breville.com/content/dam/breville/au/assets/miscellaneous/instruction-manual/espresso/BES990-instruction-manual.pdf
How does the machine know to dose a single or double?
Hi QSS, Great question! It's the Oracle so it knows of course! Just kidding. I believe the tamping mechanism senses the level of coffee in the filter basket. When you switch between the single and double basket you do not have to change any settings. Machine automatically fills each properly.
it is possible use ESE pods for this machine? do a need a new/diffrent basket for this?
Hi RR, Oracle Touch is one of a few Breville machines which does not include dual wall pressurized filter baskets which are required for using ESE pods. So out of the box it's not capab;le of using ESE pods. Dual wall filter baskets are available individually from Breville.
Marc
Is this the future of espresso machines? I am from the generation that enjoy to like being involved and learn while making good espresso. To me it is more interesting and rewarding, to be envolve in brewing a drink based on skill, taste and objective critism.
Hi AA, Oracle probably not a good choice for those into espresso as a hobby.
What’s the best grind setting for Medium roast coffe so it is not sour? Thanks
Hi w, Thanks for the question. Sour flavors indicate under-extraction. Typically you'd want to set the grind finer. Actual setting depends on a bunch of variables like coffee bean type, brew temp, dose weight, etc. You will need to dial in your grind size as it's not one size fits all. Here's a video showing the simple process of dialing in: ruclips.net/video/jOY7D02n4Cw/видео.html
Marc
Ok I really want one of these I have saved and want to invest my only question is I line cappuccinos espresso and normal coffee will this make a normal coffee or would I be better to get a Jura s8
I've been trying to get one of these things but got talked into the Barista Touch which I hate to be honest
Hey! Had a question. For this machine, do you only need to dial in the grind size, since it Tamps/doses automatically?
Yes, You do need to dial in the grind size.
Does this dual boiler unit have the same issues the barista touch bas with not being able to brew above 140F?
Hi AMP, Not sure what issues you are referring to.
Marc
Marcus, greetings. I would like to make one serving of milk (ie 3-4 oz for cappuccino) at a time so that I can pour the contents in with ease. Is that possible? The milk will be below the white marker.
Do I need to just use more milk than I need and then adjust the angle of the milk container to stop milk and start foam transfer? Will the machine be damaged if I run it with the milk below the white marker?
Thank You for enlightening us on coffee.
Hi CC, Sorry for the delayed response. Somehow missed your comment. I Would keep the milk above the line. I don't know if it will cause damage if below. But don't know that it would not.
Marc
How does it compare with the creatista and nespresso pro?
Round nespresso doesn’t hold a candle to this....this is a prosumer machine...nespresso not so much.
Will the heat of the machine affect the beans and the grinder in long run? Love the functions but ... just not sure about the quality of the grinder..
Hi ST, Good question. The cup warming surface is passively heated by the boilers which I believe are on the other side of machine internally. I just measured temps after machine was on for 7 hours. I read 84F inside the bean hopper when ambient room air temp was 75F.
Thanks for your clarification :)
The Oracle Touch has a fan that actively blows over the grinding unit to keep it from heating up.
Can I ask if it makes hot coffee, many machines don't seem to make very hot coffee and after milk has been added just tastes lukewarm! Thanks 🙂
Hi g, Thanks for the question. In cup temps are what you'd get with any semi-auto machine. Nice thing with the Oracle touch is you can set the milk temp to what you like. It maxes out at ~165F which is hotter than you should go for best flavor. Proteins start to break down in the 160s harming flavor. Like with any machine if you like really hot beverages pre-heat your cup.
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage Thanks so much for your reply 😉
You mentioned 1st review was 4yrs ago...honestly, whats the quality assurance ? I'm tossing on between the auto/manual & touch. Info on repair cost on any issue would be appreciated . Cheers
november9err 2yr warranty from Breville. Touch is a little simpler. No longer has adjustable tamping pressure and fewer moving/manual control knobs etc. one would assume improved reliability with the Touch version.
What coffee beans would you reccomend for this oracle touch machine?
Hi OP, Depends on what you like. If looking for classic Italian style espresso give Maromas Orphea a try. One of my favorites and get 4.5/5 stars in customer reviews. Produces buckets of crema and nice chocolate notes without bitterness. Read the reviews and learn more here: www.wholelattelove.com/products/maromas-orphea-whole-bean-espresso
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage thank you!
i love your job.i want to have one.
Hi HR, Thanks for the comment!
I'm interested in buying this machine, but I don't understand why you have to physically bring the portafiliter from the grinder to the brewer in this machine. Other high-end expresso machines are fully automatic meaning you push a button and get your coffer (black). Can you explain the advantage of the need to move the portafilter with this machine? Thanks, Paul
Hi Paul, Sounds like you're looking at super-automatic bean to cup machines vs. semi-automatic like the machine in this video. The one-touch bean to cup machines do offer more convenience at the expense of potential quality. Semi-autos require some skill, knowledge and often patience to produce consistently superior results.
Marc
Hi Marc, which super-automatic espresso machine would you recommend that would provide a similar quality of coffee as the Breville Oracle Touch? I drink mostly black coffee. Thank you for your advice, Paul
Is it suitable for a Small Cafe, selling 100 Cups a day?
No way! It's a home use machine - not commercial.
Whole Latte Love , why not? It’s no different than making a coffee for feast which invite 100 person. (I’m a newbie in this part and really want to know the reason. Thanks)
This is really high tech machine.
Hi Soul, Thanks for the comment. Very high tech! But, is it a machine or an appliance?
Hi Mark can i use this model Breville Oracle Touch for commercial use ?
Hi ltk, Thanks for the question. The oracle is intended for home and office use.
Whole Latte Love what’s your recommendation to use for small Cafe Business? Daily consumption ard 100-150 cups
Can this grinder take the dark roast oily beans?
Hi mary, Thanks for the question. If regularly doing dark oily beans I do prefer a more robust grinder. But, with regular cleaning you should be fine.
Marc
Hi....and thank you for the video
My questions:
1-How high is it exactly? Can you measure it.... as I think it's a bit too high to fit under the kitchen cabinets
2- how much clearance you need on the right and left.... as well on the top for refilling?
3- can you do a comparison video with the delongi elite :)
Hi, Height is 18", width is 14.75" and you do not need extra clearance on sides. Water fill lid opens up to 17" high.
Do you mean the Delonghi Eletta? If so, I can't do a comparison as the Eletta is a super automatic machine and the Oracle is a semi automatic.
Thank you very much,
So it seems it will not fit under my kitchen cabinets, as my clearance is 45cm and the Oracle Touch is 46cm/18in :(
If you can do a fair comparison between the Oracle Touch and the Delonghi PRIMADONNA ELITE (as they are almost the same price range as well Breville did the comparison from their side ....see the link
ruclips.net/video/5m4Ma4YsU9E/видео.html
but we want to know the truth, and which makes better coffee and milk froth as well easier to clean, also to see the size difference
Hi Marc, how would you compare this machine to a super-auto like the Gaggia Cadorna prestige?
Hi Thomas, Thanks for the question. A couple of key difference. Maybe it goes without saying but the Cadorna Prestige is all about convenience. Push a button and your drink is made. Things are a bit more involved with the Oracle with grinding and mounting the portafilter. Then a separate pitcher for milk frothing. The frothing is somewhat automated and you can get a much wider variety of froth densities and temps on the Oracle. I've always considered the Oracle as a crossover from super-autos to semi-autos. Both are appliance grade in build quality. Oracle uses a much larger coffee dose and traditional extraction through a non-pressurized filter basket. So put in the effort and its capable of higher quality espresso. Like other semi-auto machines you will want to turn it on and let it warm up before use. On the prestige you can turn on the machine and have a drink in a couple of minutes. If seek a convenient beverage that's better in quality than the majority of most big name chain cafes the Prestige can do that. If not worried about convenience and willing to put in some effort you can get specialty cafe quality from the Oracle. Hope that helps!
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage Thanks so much Marc, that info is very much appreciated. Really trying to pin down the right machine for our in home use and believe we have it narrowed down to two great choices. Really appreciate the advice and all of the info available on your site!
@@tgunz What did you go for in the end? I'm in the exact same place you were a few years ago. Think I'm leaning towards the oracle touch but the gaggia is also in the reckoning
Hi Mark!
I have a question regarding the oracle touch.
I`ve just bought the machine, and confused how many gram I should use.
Many barista`s is telling me in a double shot is 17-18 grams.
The machine is telling me 22grams, and in your video you also tells 22 grams.
Why 22 grams? Is it because of milk based beverages or what?
I`m very confused about the dose.
Hope you Can help..
Thank you for your time.. 😊
Hi i, Thanks for the question. I wonder if you are confusing grind size setting with coffee dose. Here's a link in the video where I'm adjusting grind size to 24. That does not refer to the amount of coffee. It's the size of the ground coffee particles: ruclips.net/video/2F7etUZrzKQ/видео.html
The Oracle handles the dose amount automatically and it's not user adjustable beyond selecting a single or double shot dose. Depending on the coffee you're using automatic dose control should give you ~17g for a double. I know for sure the basket can not hold 22g which would be a triple shot. Hope that helps!
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage
Hi Mark! Thanks a lot for your response! I´m not confused about the grind size, but about the coffee dose..
Take a look at this link ruclips.net/video/KIzLPqGOjPc/видео.html
there you´ll see that it is possible to change the amount of coffee dose 😊
So I still don´t know how much grams there should be in the porterfilter. Breville is recommending 22 for the machine
and I´m curious why that is..?
By the way, Love your videos! 👍🏼
What do you set the grind setting at?
What do you set the water temperature at for espresso?
What do you set the milk temperature at?
What do you set the foam level at?
Hi DW, You can set things where you want but here are some suggestions:
grind setting: Dial in the grind to produce an espresso in a 20-30 second time range. If coming too fast adjust grind finer. If to slow adjust coarser.
Brew water temperature: Espresso is brewed at 195-205F (90.5-96C) Tend toward a lower temp for dark roasted beans and higher temp for lighter roast.
milk temperature: Milk gains it's most apparent sweetness due to heating at 140F (60C). But set it how you like. After 155F (68C) you start to lose sweetness. At 175F (80C) milk is getting close to scalding
What do you set the foam level at: This is personal preference. For a latte use a setting that produces a very fine microfoam. For a traditional cappuccino use a setting which produces an airier froth.
Hope that helps!
Marc
Seems like the unit was sliding all over. Did you not have the base knob engaged? Hmmmm.
Hi DW, Either that or aggressive portafilter locking into the group!
Hi Mark, you and Todd have done videos of the inside of espresso machines. Have you seen the inside of the Oracle? If so is the water tubing plastic or metal copper. If plastic does warm water run through them? Thanks
Hi Nelson, The Oracle uses some Teflon tubing internally which carries hot water. Also silicon tubing to the steam wand. Hope that helps!
Marc
Looks very tempting.... I'm going to make a switch from my 10 year old Rocket Cellini. How does this machine stack up in taste of the coffee? Would it be disappointing coming from a my Rocket? I love the idea of the streamlining the process, but can't give up good coffee! :-)
Susan Olberding I’ve got a prosumer setup with a profitec 700 and the difference in drink quality is minimal. This is an appliance, so expect less reliability over time in the mechanicals. Lots of moving parts but I’ve had very little issues with my oracle. If you’re on the fence, buy it.
Thank you for your input! Being on the fence with espresso machines is the place I've been for more than a month :-) And I remember when I bought my Rocket, it was the same way. Difference being, at that time, I lived very close to SCG and was able to drive there and do my own taste tests. It is much different now as I live in Central Oregon and the ONLY espresso machine I've been able to find local is Jura. I ruled that out immediately as the milk drinks were only luke warm to me. The taste of the espresso was wonderful, but I can't do luke warm drinks....again, thank you for your input! Much appreciated and your comments make total sense to me. And the Profitec 500 with PID is my other consideration at this point. Getting ready to make a decision and jump in!
Susan Olberding no worries at all and I wish you the best!! Been happy with the profitec setup for about a year now.. I think you’ll be happy either way! Just think about how much you’d like to tinker vs convenience of the oracle and you’ll make the right call!
Drew C gave good advice! Nice thing with the Oracle is you can dial up the milk temp if you like it hotter. Pro 500 PID is a very nice machine! Reliabilty is better on the machine vs. appliance. But Breville does have good support and 2 year warranty. If your more hands on go with the Pro 500 PID. If you value easy, quick and consistent convenience go with the Oracle.
In case anyone was wondering this is what it feels like to work at Starbucks. Auto shut off on steaming wand, and you just push a button for the shots the machine does the rest.
Hi Aaron, Thanks for the comment. Guessing SBucks went to automatic machines to provide a consistent customer experience? Oracle is very good at producing consistent. It automates some process yet keeps the heart of higher end espresso.
Is this machine working on 240v voltage?
Hi, Thanks for the question. Here in US we only carry 110v models. Fairly certain it's available in 220v in other countries.
Am from QATAR it’s hard to find one where can i get one ?
Found Breville UAE as dealer for Qatar: www.breville.ae/
Can you make a detailed comparison with the previous model?
Which do you recommend?
What we get?
What we don't get?
Hi MES, I do have a video on the previous model here: ruclips.net/video/NC37TJRK0RQ/видео.html
Some differences: New model does not have adjustable tamping pressure or adjustable pre-infusion. New Touch model has a semi-automated descaling procedure and ability to save settings for 5 standard drinks and 8 user defined drinks.
Whole Latte Love Thank you for rplying
I have watched almost all your vids including the one you referred me to
Tha thing is I wanted them side by side
And yes I noticed the absence of the preinfusion and the adjustable tamping
All I wanted to discuss is that can the absence of these features considered a deal breaker?
Are the new features with the touch screen worth it?
@@Wholelattelovepage Great reviews - I'm really struggling to decide between the original Oracle and the Oracle Touch as there are extremely good deals on the older model and it comes in around 30% cheaper than the 'Touch'. So it really comes down to those programmable presets and how useful they would actually be?
Hi Marc do you have a recommendation between this and the Jura Z6? My thinking is that the Jura is simpler to use, may be more reliable in the long-term (Jura has a reputation for long lasting machines) and maintenance products are easier to obtain. But it looks like the Oracle can heat the milk to a higher temperature, produces a better quality cup and maintenance is simpler and cheaper. Would appreciate your thoughts
Hi Tahir, Please excuse my delayed response - I've been offline for a few days. You've hit the nail on the head with your thinking and seem to be in the cross-over position. That is you're in between the convenience of a super-automatic like the Jura and the increased potential of a semi-automatic like the Breville machines. This Breville is a bit more automated than traditional semi-autos so I'm not surprised you are considering it from your cross-over position. If you want little to no effort consistency then the Jura is an excellent choice. Turn it on and within minutes no-hassle drinks. Push a button and the machine does the rest. While the Breville has more potential quality, producing it consistently is more of a commitment on your part - more time, skill, knowledge is required. If hotter milk is important to you and you're willing to put in the effort then the Breville is probably the way to go. The Jura heats milk to it's sweet point of 130F/55C (+/-10F). That's what a properly trained barista would do. I understand some like it hotter anyway - if that's you the Jura may disappoint. Hope that helps!
Marc
Whole Latte Love thanks Marc
What’s the best grinder settings for late dark roast beens ? I saw people using from 18 to 34 but I don’t understand who’s right and which one is the best
Hi Alex, Just because someone is using a certain grind setting doesn't mean you should! A bunch of variables beyond roast level play into setting the right grind size. Beyond that, a certain setting number on your Breville will probably produce a different grind size than on someone else's. Grind size is not set and forget. As beans age or other variables change subtle adjustments in grind size will be needed. Check out my video on how to dial in grind size to learn how to easily get grind size set properly: ruclips.net/video/jOY7D02n4Cw/видео.html
It does not use a Breville but the process is the same regardless.
Marc
No grinndin control?
Ho o, There is grind size control in 45 steps. If referring to dose amount that is controlled by filter basket size.
It’s a shame the grinders in these are so bad as it’s a brilliant idea for those who don’t want all the fuss and the milk is great.
I found with lighter roasts the auto tamp doesn’t work very well and you get a lot of uneven pucks which when it’s dosing at 22g is a waste of coffee.
just after the 3 minute mark, you mentioned that power on to ready to brew in 10 minutes?
Yes
@@Wholelattelovepage thats a LONG time
christopher Johnson that’s to full temperature stability as the machine has an actual boiler and not a thermoblock heating system like entry level espresso appliances. The result is better thermal stability and better espresso.
Marc
christopher Johnson also has programmable on time so...
hopefully a cheaper unit for those that only want coffee
Hi mark can you make a regular cup of coffee with this machine. Love your videos
Hi GLC, Thanks for the comment and question. I guess it depends on what you consider a regular cup of coffee. In Italy ask for a coffee and you get an espresso. If drip coffee is what you consider regular the answer is no. The machine does make an Americano which is about as close as you get to what Americans consider a regular coffee. There's zero drip coffee in Italy. An Americano is espresso combined with hot water.
Marc
@@Wholelattelovepage thanks so much mark. Love your videos. I have a RUclips channel too
You are welcome. Took a look at your channel. Good on you for taking care of your customers!
Oh, lord, the flexing and skiing? yow.
Smaller the grind number the finer the grind I guess?
Yessir!
Is it suitable approximately 25 Cups a day?
Hi What a Life, I'd say that's at it's upper limit. If asking in regards to commercial use, that's definitely not recommended! For home or office it's doable but do pay attention to maintenance as recommended by Breville and feed with good water.
Thanks for your reply Whole Latte Love, for now the De Longhi Primadonna is handling good, would you consider the Oracle Touch an upgrade to this?
I would, but... The Oracle is technically a semi-automatic while the Delonghi is a super-automatic. If potentially better espresso quality is an upgrade for you then yes, it's an upgrade. If you are willing to sacrifice some quality for convenience then maybe not. If you like mil-based drinks the Oracle is capable of making higher quality than the Delonghi. And, with adjustable froth density and temperature you can have them exactly how you want.
Delonghi is super automatic, but you must wait the coffee to brew before you steam the milk and this makes so much time! Can you tell me how tall cups can i put below? Thanks!
Clearance under the coffee spouts is 4 inches.
I thought it was a review, not a commercial.
You would need to make approximately 400 coffee drinks before this thing even BEGINS to pay for itself. And that's not including the rent of the counter space it's taking up.
Lol!
You're right. If I made one or two drinks a day, maybe as much as a year. If I made three or four per day...
Only $2,500? I'll take one for home, one for work, one for my Woman!!!!!😲😲😲
And don't forget, one for me!
Only? gosh darn exchange rate is killing me, this is like 3 of my monthly salaries!
The non touch looks nicer.
Hi B in the B, What is it you like better about the non-touch version?
Whole Latte Love I just like the look much better pretty much. I'm more into the traditional look generally (I'm working my way up to getting a isomac tea as I've just got a Baraza vario) even though breville/sage doesn't doesn't necessarily apply under that umbrella. Still a nice looking machine.
The original looks nicer (imho) with all the buttons and what not rather than an screen, too much reminiscent of a bean to cup maybe?🤷♂️
Still, wouldn't say no to it if someone gave it to me on the cheap.😁😉
I have a Breville, the Breville customer care is poor and needs lots of improvement.
I am surprised you sell Breville machines. A company in good standing such as yours can be impacted negatively due to the poor customer service Breville has.
Great machine until it breaks. Go with something else
Hi McP, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yes, excellent feature set for the price but it does sacrifice expected longevity/repairability compared to more traditional machines that are hand assembled in Europe.
