Barista Touch

With a 1500 budget you better not buy a Breville barista touch lol

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

hi! I am not sure if your Mom is the type that just wants a cup of brewed coffee, or, likes espresso. I like the option to pull espresso shots and steam milk with the same machine, and make lattes/cappuccino at home. I waited awhile to get one I thought was perfect - and truly have found my own cup

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.

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

I also have 2 coffees a day. I have a Breville bean to cup machine that I purchased in 2017. I buy a 1 kg bag of beans for $18 (used to be $11 for years) and it lasts me about 2 months. With the Barista touch you aren't sacrificing quality by making it at home. Most of the time my coffees are better

For regular coffee, I really love the Moccamaster, and for espresso drinks, the Breville Barista Touch is great. I don’t know if it’s BIFL (I’ve had it three years and no problems so far, but I’m also super diligent about keeping up with maintenance). I’m not sure I’d buy anything second-hand though

Profitec go and it’s not even close. The profitec go is such a complete single boiler machine. And it’s a machine, not an appliance. Breville barista touch is more of an appliance.

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

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
