I just got home from The Rocks in Sydney where Breville are demonstrating two old style BDB BES900 and two of the new Oracle BES980.
Breville staff said that the Oracle and the updated, improved BDB should hit the market by about Xmas. What a great Xmas present.
The Oracle has many features of the BDB plus an inbuilt grinder with a unique automatic spiral tamping system which turns off the grinder when sufficient pressure has built up against the puck.
Unlike a super auto machine you still have to move the portafilter from the grinder to the group head.
The milk frothing is either automatic or manual with adjustable temperature.
The estimated full price is $2,500.
