Frequently Asked Questions

Which machine is better for beginners or those seeking maximum convenience?

The Breville Oracle Jet is ideal for convenience, offering auto grind, dose, tamp, and milk frothing. This automation simplifies the espresso-making process, making it much easier to achieve consistent shots without extensive barista skills or separate equipment.

What is the main difference in pump pressure between the two machines?

The Gaggia E24 features a 9-bar pump, which is widely considered optimal for ideal espresso extraction. The Breville Oracle Jet, conversely, has a 15-bar pump, offering higher pressure that can be beneficial for pre-infusion or handling pressure drops during the brewing cycle.

How do the boiler types compare between the Breville Oracle Jet and the Gaggia E24?

Breville's ThermoJet (thermoblock) boiler provides rapid heat-up and energy efficiency, allowing for quick transitions between brewing and steaming. Gaggia's single boiler is robust but requires waiting for the boiler to reach the correct temperature when switching from brewing espresso to frothing milk.

Does either espresso machine include an integrated grinder?

Yes, the Breville Oracle Jet includes an integrated burr grinder with 45 settings, automating the grinding, dosing, and tamping. The Gaggia E24 does not come with a grinder, so a separate purchase would be necessary for fresh bean preparation.
