Barista Touch

I went down this rabbit trail last month. After browsing this sub, I learned that it’s the grinder, not the espresso machine, that makes good espresso. I got the Breville Bambino Plus (on sale right now for $400) + a Eureka Libra 65 AP ($750). In terms of automatic, it depends how you define that. M

May I ask how you were able to get a replacement from Breville? I think I'm having similar issue, I bought my Barista Touch during Black Friday in Amazon. The grinder also clicks and makes a weird sound. The water when it brews does not get nearly hot enough. I'm going back and forth with Breville b

These down voters are probably laughing thinking they're witty while using a Breville that costs more than my machine. I paid $439 for mine. The Breville Bambino Plus costs like $75 more.

It feels prosumer, whereas the BBT felt staunchly consumer. The espresso from the Move tastes so good with such great body, but th

I don't have the greatest grinder.. I just use the one which comes with breville/sage barista touch. What really improved my shots is using a simple wdt tool and giving the grounds a good mix, and also adding a puck screen (I did both of these upgrades together, but I think it's the wdt which really

Have you ever tried another grinder? I used to have a barista touch. The grinder stopped working within the first month and luckily Breville support was great. While I waited for the new unit to arrive, I went out and bought a manual grinder so I could still have coffee. It blew me away how much bet

I just purchased the Breville Barista Touch and had the exact same issue. I contacted Breville and they said I could have it repaired if I wanted. Since the machine was new and still within the return window, I returned it. I purchased another Barista Touch as I really like the machine and thought m

I've struggled making good balanced cups with my Sage / Breville Barista Touch as well! I found several things: The integrated grinder produces varied results and get me different brew times and flavors from cup to cup. I bought an IMS Big Bang precision basket, for the same reasons as you. It was m
