Barista Express Impress

It's a significant quality of life feature as it prevents foam from cooking onto the wand during foaming which is particularly hard to clean off of

I was in a similar boat and researched all these models, too. I ended up getting a Touch for a few reasons: Auto milk frothing: This has been really helpful because as a person who has never brewed my own coffee other than k-cups, I could just focus on learning how to dial in the expresso first and

I ended up getting the Touch when comparing the Touch with the Touch Impress, Express, Express Impress, and Pro. here’s my reasoning: ⁠Auto milk frothing: This has been really helpful because as a person who has never brewed my own coffee other than k-cups, I could just focus on learning how to dial
