Displays in either Degree F or Degree CJust like the best commercial machines . the Oracle gradually increases water pressure at the start of the extraction to gently expand grinds before applying higher pressure.Without this gradual increase in water pressure . 'Channelling' or 'Drilling' can occur. This means water will pass between the tamped coffee and the wall of the basket or 'drill' through the centre of the coffee and not the perimeter. This results in bitter . over extracted flavours dominating the cup as excess water passes through the 'channel' and not evenly through the entire coffee puck.
