Barista Express Impress

I didn’t have the $$ to buy a machine worth $1000’s. I went to buy a more auto one and the sales woman was great and recommended the Breville BEI as I’d get a better coffee.

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

Hi, I am also an incoming resident, congrats on matching! Have you considered any of the impress options from Breville? With the grinding and tamping all being a part of the machine and the extremely fast thermojet heat up time this might be more suitable for quick morning lattes! It’s likely the cl
