Doesn't last. Completely unreliable

The Oracle Touch BES990

Like many people we are very happy with the machine and the coffee it makes. However we first bought the machine in 2018 and we are now just about to try and replace our 5th machine. This is with daily use but not heavy use and we do try to maintain it. The amount of time our machine has been not in use or sent off for repair is ridiculous. The amount of beans we have wasted is ridiculous. The product does not last. We might have thought we have been ridiculously unlucky except we have 2 other family members who have bought the same machine and they both have had to have their machines replaced with in 1-2 years.

Hi All. I have a BES990 machine and when it is turned on steam is coming out of the steam wand as it heats up and will not stop.
Any ideas would be good.

Thanks

John

Why does my Breville Oracle Touch BES990 coffee machine keep tripping the circuit breaker. I’ve looked inside and see nothing leaking or broken.
