An experience that is closer to that of any barista of the best cafeteria that we can find than what we usually be used to at home.A total deployment of media that allows you to reunite with the authentic taste of coffee from the comfort of domestic cuisine.
Starting the machine
The first thing to do just get it out of the box is to forget how a drink is prepared in one of those automatic machines that work on capsules or with beverage pre -selection.How to drive a plane with autopilot to do so by grabbing the controls with force and landing at the most complicated airport.

After assembling all the accessories - which has a few - and read the instructions carefully touches the grain in the upper hopper.Freshly roasted whole grain, yes, and if it can be of the best quality that our pocket can be allowed.Because in this type of coffee makers, change from a 'normal' coffee to another more premium is noticeable.
Like every coffee machine, it also needs a certain amount of water and, as a curiosity, within the Oracle Touch box comes a reactive strip that will tell us the hardness of the water that comes out through our tap and then include it in the configuration of themachine.Up to that point the coffee maker settings arrive to get the best coffee.
In the guide of the first steps the screen incorporated in the coffee maker has a fundamental role.It shows all the information that the user may need and on many occasions offers preparation tips so that coffee is the best in each case.

Once everything is in order, the most important step is: choosing what coffee we want.The machine itself offers some preconfigured recipes of the most popular drinks.Espresso, American, Coffee Cream, Latte, Cappuccino and Flat White.And, as if that were not enough, personalized drinks can be added from scratch, in case the user has a better recipe.

Although they are not recipes to follow in the heart.They are simply the ways to prepare coffee and then add the milk.With the combination of the grain size and the amount of water to be mixed you can get a very concentrated coffee or a much more watery and light.
After the choice of the drink to prepare, it is the user himself who must select - with the roulette located on the left face of the machine - the coffee grain size.Then the machine compresses it and it is time to take it to the central area where water is injected into high pressure and temperature.

Ready coffee, it remains to add the milk if it proceeds in the recipe that is being prepared.Among the accessories that the machine brings comes a metallic jug, the same as the one we can find in the bars or coffee shops.Along with the same vaporizer that achieves a very firm and persistent milk foam ideal for coffees such as cappuccinos.
One of The Great Bazas of The Oracle Touch is the touch screen located in the front of the machine.She is the undisputed protagonist and from where to control virtually all the cafeteria parameters.From the aforementioned coffee selection to the time of ignition programming and through access to the -Ecesaries - tutorials to be a true barista.

Mastering the machine is not simple either.You just have to try to prepare coffees over and over again until, little by little, they are going out moderately drinkable liquids.It is very simple to be wrong in the grinding grain and end up cheating an extremely strong coffee or another too watery.It is not a simple, but very rewarding task when a good mixture is achieved.Something like learning to cook.
That said, we also lack a somewhat simpler way with monitoring of step step by step taking advantage of the screen assembly.Mainly for those who have never had to face such a little autonomous machine for what things.
Can I buy it?
Having a professional machine at home has its good and some bad things.Starting with the good ones, the first and most obvious is to be able to enjoy an extraordinary coffee every day without further journey than the one that separates the bed from the kitchen.In fact, the drink will be as good as we want and will depend largely on our pocket when buying a more expensive or cheaper coffee package.
Taking into account the almost 2,500 euros of the Sage The Oracle Touch, surely the price of coffee is not a problem.The same of milk if we want to prepare mixed drinks.The coffee machine will be able to remove all the flavors and nuances of a newly ground grain and be able to taste them without any essence being lost in a capsule with already ground coffee.

The least good part is that, except to have someone at home, the barista is yourself.You must get up a little more than usual to prepare coffee if we compare it with other types of machines.At approximately 4 minutes of machine warming you have to add the preparation.First the grinding and pressed and second infusion.Milk heating apart.
The Sage The Oracle Touch is, as they say, coffee for very coffee growers.For authentic coffee purists who have 2,500 euros ready to invest - because it can really be described as such - and that may now make more sense than ever with the high teleworking load.
