Barista Touch

I don't have a great story, but a year and a half ago, my husband bought a Breville Barista Touch Impress espresso machine during Black Friday. I thought it was a waste of $800. Damn if I don't use that thing every single day.

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.

The price difference between the Breville Barista Touch Impress and the Breville Oracle Jet is pretty hard to overlook. The Touch Impress usually sells for around $1,500, while the Oracle Jet tends to land in the $2,800–$3,000 range. That’s roughly a $1,300–$1,500 jump, and for most home users the u

It’s the “breville barista touch”. I think they run like 800ish now but I paid 1100 4-5 years ago. It’s mindless to use compared to the ones where you have to manually pull the shot.

Breville Barista Touch Impress here: Best upgrade for me was IMS basket and bottomless portafilter. I went with the IMS Big Bang & IMS precision baskets. The Big Bang basket is my daily driver.I did see a slight difference upgrading to the IMS precision nanotech shower screen. But IMO, the baskets w

I have a breville barista touch and a bambino plus ($1000 and $500). I only ever use my 3 cup bialetti ($30) and the milk frother of one of the machines. the barista touch has a grinder, frother and touch screen and you can adjust the grind size, timing of brew, customize certain settings for differ

I had an issue with 2 of my ninja luxe pro’s:/ we then ended up spending the extra $250 when the breville barista touch went on sale from $1500 down to $999 and couldn’t be happier.

If you want rapid heating espresso machine on which you can push a button and it delivers an excellent latte without much user intervention AND you want back to back shots... I'm afraid to say I don't think your budget is anywhere near enough. A Sage/Breville Barista Touch will grind beans, get you
