Which to choose

Heating system — the deciding spec. The Breville Oracle Jet uses a thermoblock / thermocoil system and the Quick Mill Silvano a coffee boiler + steam thermoblock system. Heats water on demand through a metal block instead of holding a boiler tank. Fast to ready, compact, common in entry machines; temperature stability is the trade-off. A 0.45 L brass coffee boiler is paired with a separate thermoblock for steam and hot water. It has two heat paths, but it is not a dual-boiler machine. This drives most of the milk-drink workflow and price difference between them.
Portafilter — accessories don't transfer. The Breville Oracle Jet takes a 54mm portafilter and the Quick Mill Silvano a 58mm, so tampers, bottomless portafilters and baskets bought for one won't fit the other.
Built-in grinder. The Breville Oracle Jet grinds and brews in one machine; with the Quick Mill Silvano you add a separate grinder — more counter space and another purchase, but a free choice of grinder and easier to upgrade.
Who each suits. The Silvano is also a good fit if you want to fine-tune every shot.

Which one should you buy?

Pick the Breville Oracle Jet if you want one machine on the counter instead of a separate grinder.
Pick the Quick Mill Silvano if you make milk drinks and do not want to wait between pulling the shot and steaming; or if you would rather choose your own grinder and upgrade it later; or if you want to fine-tune every shot.

Common questions

Which is better for lattes and cappuccinos, the Breville Oracle Jet or the Quick Mill Silvano?

The Quick Mill Silvano. Its coffee boiler + steam thermoblock system brews and steams at the same time, while the Breville Oracle Jet uses a thermoblock / thermocoil system and makes you switch and wait between the shot and the milk. For milk-heavy drinks that wait is the difference you feel every morning.

Do portafilters and baskets fit both the Breville Oracle Jet and the Quick Mill Silvano?

No. The Breville Oracle Jet takes a 54mm portafilter and the Quick Mill Silvano a 58mm one, so tampers, bottomless portafilters and baskets bought for one will not fit the other. Budget for accessories separately once you pick.
