Barista Touch

I have been using a Breville Barista Touch for about a year and a half. I just found a good deal on a used Profitec Go so I decided to upgrade. Night and day difference for me. And folks say the grinder matters most, but I’m still using the built in grinder from the Touch until my new grinder ships

I'm in the US and the brand is called Breville, but it's exactly the same, just called Sage in Ireland. It depends on your level of commitment. Personally I went with the Bamino Plus and got a half decent grinder (DF54 or Baratza Encore). The Bambino or Bambino Plus are more entry level, compared to

Still figuring it out (just got it Fri) but so far so good. I previously was using the built in grinder on my breville barista touch

I'm probably in the minority in this subreddit. But I got a used breville barista touch for the built in grinder convenience. Used a scale to dial in the grind time and weighed output until I got just over 2:1 and then didnt bother with th scale afterwards

A general rule of thumb is that grind quality is more important than the espresso machine. I owned the Breville Barista Touch for about 6 months before I upgraded because of this fact.

My Breville barista touch is my first one and I can’t even imagine buying a coffee from specialty coffee shop. Breville Bambino plus or Banbino is a great entry point. Buy one lightly used on eBay and don’t be afraid to start with the built in grinder. You will eventually upgrade and that’s okay.

I still use the built in grinder from my Breville barista touch. Is the Niche something I should consider to step up my game? Is it or any other separate grinder worth it considering to my tastebuds the one with the Breville seems fine. Thanks.

I have a Breville Barista Touch (first espresso machine) and a Niche Zero and Niche Duo. It's a massive difference. I usually use the Zero for espresso for milk drinks. And I use the Niche Duo (filter burrs) for Aeropress. However... if you drink primarily milk drinks, you might not be able to taste

Yeah it’s a very simple machine to use. You’ll just need a good grinder since the Breville is just barely adequate. I used a Breville Barista Touch for 8 years before I found its limits.
