Why the Oracle Dual Boiler Makes Milk Steaming Easier
Steaming milk for a latte or cappuccino usually requires practice to get the texture right. The Oracle Dual Boiler simplifies this with its Auto MilQ™ feature, which delivers silky microfoam hands-free. You can choose from settings optimized for dairy, soy, almond, and oat milk, so the machine adjusts the steam automatically for each type.
What the Oracle Dual Boiler Offers for Milk Steaming
- the Oracle® Dual Boiler: Auto MilQ™ delivers silky microfoam hands-free, with settings optimized for dairy, soy, almond and oat. You don't need to guess steam times or technique for different milk types; the machine handles it automatically.

the Oracle® Dual Boiler - the Oracle® Dual Boiler: Powerful stainless steel dual boilers for simultaneous extraction and steaming. You can steam milk while pulling a shot without waiting for the boiler to recover, keeping your workflow fast.
How to Use Auto MilQ™ for Hands-Free Steaming
Fill your pitcher with cold milk, select the milk type on the 5.7" touch screen (dairy, soy, almond, or oat), and place the steam wand into the milk. The Oracle Dual Boiler automatically steams and textures the milk to the right consistency for that milk type. You can also use the Breville+ Coffee App to remotely power on and pre-heat your machine, so the steam wand is ready when you are.
Taking Control in Manual Mode
If you prefer to steam manually for latte art or a specific texture, switch to Manual mode on the touch screen. The powerful dual boilers provide consistent steam pressure, and you can stop steaming when the milk reaches your desired temperature and texture. The supplied information does not specify exact temperatures or durations, so rely on your pitcher's feel and sight to judge when the milk is ready.
Tips for Better Milk Frothing with the Oracle Dual Boiler
Use cold milk straight from the fridge for the best microfoam. Keep the steam wand clean after each use to prevent milk residue buildup. The Auto Dial-In system monitors each extraction, but for steaming, the machine's dedicated settings for different milk types remove much of the guesswork. Experiment with the Auto MilQ™ settings to see which produces the texture you prefer for lattes, cappuccinos, or flat whites.
