Sage’s new Oracle Dual Boiler espresso machine might be its most genius creation to date

Millie Fender

15 September 2025

Espresso machine meets self-driving sports car

I’m a huge fan of Sage espresso machines. Combining automated features with the power of a souped-up manual brewer, they allow anyone to feel like a pro barista right at home. And best of all, they’re capable of extracting the very best espresso out of every single bean.

And today, Sage has released its most impressive creation to date. The latest iteration of its most premium Oracle line, the Dual Boiler uses the high-performance tech of a coffee shop machine which will allow you to brew coffee and steam milk at the same time. It’s a win for speed and efficiency, but also a sign of just how powerful this latest release can be.
The Oracle Dual Boiler is also Sage’s most expensive ever machine, retailing for just shy of £2,500. That’s £500 more expensive than the Oracle Touch, which first hit markets nearly a year ago.

You don’t need an espresso machine to get delicious fresh coffee at home — here’s what I’d use instead and why

Sage Oracle Dual Boiler: £2,499 at Breville
Sage’s Oracle Dual Boiler espresso machine is now available to buy in Sage’s classic stainless steel finish, as well as a cool Black Truffle shade. It’s powered by a new Quad-Core CPU that powers the 5.7″ touch screen, allowing you to switch between manual and automatic brewing.

What’s new?

(Image credit: Sage)
The Sage Oracle Dual boiler has the classic look of a traditional Sage machine. It’s, in a word, gorgeous. But the control panel does remind me of a speedometer, almost like it’s a supercar that’s accelerating as it extracts your espresso.

It’s a smart parallel to draw, because the Oracle Dual Boiler does seem like the Ferrari of espresso machines. With a dual boiler design that allows you to brew and steam all at once, it’s firing on all cylinders with every use, and you’ll never have to worry that your coffee is over- or under-extracted, because it doses, tamps, and extracts automatically.
All you really need to do is follow the instructions on the screen to ensure you’ve got the right grind size, and you’re good to go.

You can switch between Auto and Manual modes when using this new machine, allowing you to cruise on sports mode for a guaranteed tasty coffee with minimal effort, or dial in for a fully manual experience, including hand-steaming and working with your own ratios.

If you opt for Auto, you can choose from a selection of pre-loaded recipes for everything from a simple espresso or latte to an oat milk flat white. And the machine will even tailor the temperature of your milk depending on your preferred type, using its Auto MilQ hands-free microfoam settings.

We’ve already tried the Sage Oracle Dual Boiler espresso machine in our own testing centre, and if our first impressions are anything to go by, Sage is onto a winner with this new machine. Reviewer Erin Bashford says, “This is one of the most impressive steam wands I’ve ever used”, and enjoyed making flawless latte art from her very first use.
Another feature Erin loves is the in-built tamping. “If you’re the kind of barista who hates dealing with coffee grounds all over your kitchen, or you hate the idea of having to buy a separate grinder, then this is the machine for you.”
We’ll be bringing you our full review soon, but if you’re a keen home barista who refuses to compromise when it comes to a dual-boiler machine, this is one of the most exciting espresso machine releases of 2025 so far.
