Sage continues to innovate in the field of espresso machines. The latest addition is the Oracle Jet, which lets you brew both hot and cold espresso. But how does this machine perform in real-world use? ITC Academy put it to the test.

For whom: coffee lovers who want to brew high-quality coffee quickly and easily
Suggested retail price: €1,899.90

The Sage Oracle Jet is equipped with a 5-inch touchscreen, an integrated Baratza grinder, and the so-called Barista Guidance. It’s as if the barista from the coffee shop around the corner has hidden inside your machine and alerts you when there’s over- or under-extraction, asking you to adjust the grind size for the perfect shot. The Oracle Jet can handle grinding—just like dosing, tamping, and frothing milk—automatically. The machine is ready to use in just a few seconds, by the way.

Easy Coffee Brewing

Setting up the Oracle Jet for the first time is quick and easy thanks to a handy tutorial. The touchscreen lets you adjust parameters such as grind size and water volume. Together, these two factors determine the extraction time, which greatly influences the flavor. After adjusting the grinder three times and changing the default setting from 30 to 20 milliliters per espresso, we were able to brew a great espresso. The shot runs for 27 seconds, and the flavor is perfectly balanced with a pleasant intensity.

High-Quality Grinder

The built-in grinder is easy to adjust digitally and is manufactured by Baratza, which is now part of Sage. If the extraction time falls below 20 or exceeds 30 seconds, a notification appears prompting you to adjust the grind setting.

The only thing we can’t control is the amount of coffee. The Sage Oracle Jet fills the filter holder with an average of 20 grams and tamps it down for you. While this closed system does reduce mess around the machine, the brew ratio can only be adjusted by changing the water volume, not the amount of coffee.

Milk-Based and Iced Coffees

As mentioned, the Oracle Jet can froth milk on its own. Through the menu, you can set how much foam you want, depending on the drink you’ve chosen (for example, a flat white or cappuccino). You can also select milk or a plant-based beverage. The auto mode produces reasonably good foam, though it sometimes contains too many air bubbles. Fortunately, this can be adjusted in the software, so you’ll get a great end result—especially after giving it a good swirl. However, you’ll still get the best results by frothing manually, which is also possible using the steam wand.

In addition to espresso and milk-based coffees, the Sage Oracle Jet also offers cocktails and iced coffee on its menu. For iced coffee, the machine starts with hot water to begin the extraction process, and then the water gradually gets colder. The cold water helps minimize bitterness in your coffee. Since the final result is a bit lukewarm, you’ll need a few ice cubes to turn it into a real iced coffee.

Conclusion: Sage Oracle Jet

The Sage Oracle Jet is a user-friendly espresso machine with convenient automated features and a clear digital tutorial. The machine is clearly aimed at coffee lovers who want more than a fully automatic machine but still appreciate its convenience. This way, they can make a good espresso or milk-based coffee right away, without any prior knowledge.
