Barista Touch Impress

My Experience with the Meraki Espresso Machine I received my Meraki about two weeks ago, just three weeks after buying a Breville Barista Touch Impress. Before that, I had been using a DeLonghi super-automatic for seven years. Moving to a semi-automatic machine seemed like a great way to elevate my

I prefer to do my own puck prep, dosing, dialing in, etc so I don’t see the impress version as being an upgrade especially if you’re already able to do those things.

It doesn't matter what the grind size is, I get drops on the first pulled shot. But if I press it again after the first time it comes out. Espresso tastes terrible though

I'm envious. I find it nearly impossible to get the same results on my new touch impress, with a bottomless poured a filter or the standard Breville Porta filter, using a variety of grind settings; I rarely get this. I only pull a full shot if I'm grinding at 20 or higher. If I try grinding around 1
