5 INCH HD TOUCH SCREEN

dynamic screen that is 4 times richer and 20 times more powerful than before. You can swipe, select, and enjoy in high definition.

COLD COFFEE

Cold Brew

Brewing at lower temperatures reduces acidic flavour notes that heat retains. This creates a smooth and mellow flavour profile that can be enjoyed on its own or form the base for your cold brew experiments.

Cold Espresso

Extracting at a lower temperature produces a full-flavoured, crema-topped espresso without the heavy tones. The cold espresso feature keeps the classic flavour while being softer and lighter in body.

AUTO QUEUE

Auto queue is a feature that allows sequencing the next function during selected milk-based drinks:

  • Brew coffee first and queue milk texturing.
  • Texture milk first and queue coffee brewing.

PID TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Electronic temperature control delivers precise water temperature for optimum espresso flavour.

DEDICATED HOT WATER SPOUT

Dedicated hot water outlet for making long blacks, teas, and pre-heating cups.

DOUBLE TAP

Double-tap on the grind, brew, or steam icons to automatically purge the system, ready for your brew.

Assembly

BEFORE FIRST USE

Machine Preparation

Remove and discard all labels and packaging materials attached to your espresso machine. Ensure you have removed all parts and accessories from the box before discarding the packaging. Remove the water tank located at the back of the machine by unlocking the latch and pulling the water tank from the latch handle. Clean parts and accessories (water tank, portafilter, filter baskets, milk jug) using warm water and a gentle dishwashing liquid. Rinse well, then dry thoroughly.

NOTE: Machines with colour: drip tray protection guard is included. DO NOT DISCARD.

INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER

  • Remove the water filter and water filter holder from the plastic bag.
  • Soak the filter in cold water for 5 minutes.
  • Rinse the filter holder with cold water.Sage SES985BSS4GUK1 Oracle Jet coffee machine 3
  • Set a reminder for replacement. We recommend replacing the filter every 3 months.Sage SES985BSS4GUK1 Oracle Jet coffee machine 4
  • Insert the filter into the two parts of the filter holder.
  • To install the assembled filter holder into the water tank, align the base of the filter holder with the adapter inside the water tank. Push down to lock into place.Sage SES985BSS4GUK1 Oracle Jet coffee machine 5

NOTE

Replacing the water filter every three months will reduce the need to descale the machine. Filters can be purchased at www.breville.com.

NOTE

Input the water hardness test strip result into the machine. If the result is 4 or 5 bars when tested, we strongly recommend changing to an alternate water source. Filtered water will extend both the life of your built-in filter and descale intervals, as well as provide superior taste. Ensure to test the water hardness of the alternative water source you have chosen and input it into the machine accordingly. Avoid using overly filtered water, like RO water, unless some mineral content is being added back to the final water. Never use distilled water or water with no or low mineral content, as this will affect the taste of coffee.

Care & Cleaning

HD TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY

Excess dirt and grime can get in the crevices of your touch screen, impairing its functionality. Keep the touch screen dry and clean to ensure optimal functionality. Use a screen cleaning wipe or a dry, soft cloth.

CLEANING CYCLE

There will be a message prompt when a cleaning cycle is required. This is a backflushing cycle and is separate from descaling. There is also the option to start the cleaning cycle by choosing Clean Cycle in Settings. The cleaning cycle cleans the shower screen and backflushes the group head to remove the build-up of coffee and oils. Follow the instructions on the screen.

DESCALING

There will be a message prompt when a descale cycle is required. Even with the provided water filter, it is recommended to descale if there is scale buildup in the water tank. There is also the option to start the descale cycle by choosing Descale Cycle in Settings. Follow the instructions on the screen.

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND

  • The steam wand should always be cleaned after texturing milk. Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.
  • If any of the holes in the tip of the steam wand become blocked, it may reduce frothing performance.
  • Go to Settings > Steam wand cleaning and follow the guide on the screen.Sage SES985BSS4GUK1 Oracle Jet coffee machine 6

CLEANING THE FILTER BASKET AND PORTAFILTER

  • The filter basket and portafilter should be rinsed under hot water after each coffee-making session to remove all residual coffee oils.
  • If the holes in the filter basket become blocked, dissolve a cleaning tablet in hot water and soak the filter basket and portafilter in the solution for approximately 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

CLEAR WATER BACKFLUSH

  • After each coffee-making session, we recommend doing a clear water backflush before you turn off the machine. Empty the drip tray. Insert the cleaning disc into the filter basket, then insert the portafilter into the group head. Touch the brew icon button and allow pressure to build for 20 seconds, then tap the glass image to stop and release pressure.

CLEANING THE SHOWER SCREEN

  • The group head interior and shower screen should be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any ground coffee particles.
  • Periodically purge the machine. Place an empty filter basket and portafilter into the group head. Tap the brew icon on the screen and run a short flow of water to rinse out any residual coffee.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY & STORAGE TRAY

  • The drip tray should be removed, emptied, and cleaned at regular intervals, particularly when the drip tray is full.
  • Remove the grill from the drip tray. Lift the coffee grind separator and dispose of any coffee grounds. Wash all parts in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • The storage tray (located behind the drip tray) can be removed and cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads, or cloths, which can scratch the surface.

CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING

The outer housing can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Polish with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads, or cloths, which can scratch the surface.

NOTE: All parts should be cleaned by hand using warm water and a gentle dishwashing liquid. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads, or cloths, which can scratch the surface. Do not clean any of the parts or accessories in the dishwasher.

Sage SES985BSS4GUK1 Oracle Jet coffee machine-FAQS

How do I make coffee using the Sage Oracle Jet?

First, purge the machine by running hot water through the group head. Add fresh coffee beans to the hopper, grind about 18–22 grams, tamp automatically, and start the espresso extraction. Adjust grind size or dose to refine the taste.

What is the ideal extraction time for espresso?

A balanced espresso shot should extract in 25–30 seconds, producing around 30–40 ml from an 18–20 g dose.

How often should I replace the water filter?

The water filter should be replaced every 3 months to reduce limescale and maintain coffee quality.

Why is my Sage Oracle Jet not producing water?

This is often caused by a stuck float in the water tank. Remove the tank, gently shake it, and rinse with warm water before reinserting.

What pressure should the Sage Oracle Jet operate at?

The correct brewing pressure is around 9 bars. Good espresso can still be achieved between 7–11 bars.

How do I steam milk on the Oracle Jet?

Fill the milk jug with cold milk, place it under the steam wand, and select the milk texture and temperature on the touchscreen. The machine will steam automatically.

How often should I clean the Sage Oracle Jet?

If you make 2–5 cups daily, clean the group head and steam wand weekly. Descale the machine when prompted.

Can I use vinegar to descale the machine?

No. Vinegar is not recommended as it may damage internal parts. Always use a Sage-approved descaling solution.

What type of coffee beans work best with the Oracle Jet?

Medium to medium-dark roasted beans work best, providing consistent grinding and balanced flavor.

Why does the machine turn on but not brew?

This can happen due to blocked water lines, scale buildup, or incorrect part placement. Check the water tank, run a cleaning cycle, and ensure all parts are seated correctly.
