Breville Barista Touch™ Impress

I’ve always struggled using the right amount on a tamp as well as getting the right dose so this machine is perfect for me. It does it all for you, including guiding you through the coffee making process and helps you to get the perfect cup! I am also impressed how the machine gets alternative milk to the correct temperature and textures it well. Overall very happy!

The Breville Barista Touch Impress certainly impressed in our household. I worked in cafes for years, and my husband and I both love coffee. After being worried I would be disappointed with a home espresso machine after using commercial machines, I was very impressed by the pressure in the steam wand, the intuitive assisted dosing and the precision tamping. My husband, who had not used an espresso machine before, found the step-by-step instructions on changing the dosing very user friendly, and was easily able to make adjustments to get a perfect shot. The alternative milk feature is a game changer, the reduced temperature and custom settings for each milk makes it easy to create the perfect cup every time, and being able to manually steam your own milk is also great. A really fantastic machine for everyone - so easy to use and helps you to produce great quality coffee.

The Breville Barista Touch Impress, is the best invention ever. As a person who has lactose intolerance knowing the right temp to tamper plant based milk is difficult but now my life is complete. The easy to follow setup and user guide not only allows me to make a great cup of coffee but my husband who isn't a coffee drinker now enjoys making coffee too. It's easy to clean and so simple but the best part is I can now enjoy barista made coffee at home because of the alternative milk features which in my opinion are the best thing about this coffee machine.

Very stylish coffee machine - looks great on our new kitchen bench! After unboxing I noticed the consistent Breville quality, the machine also has a quick start-up guide followed by very easy to follow step-by-step instructions for each coffee made. The Impress™ Puck System produces the perfect coffee extraction everytime with less mess. Having the option of dairy or plant-based milks is a game changer in our house - WINNING! We have owned other brand automatic and semi-automatic machines and this one by far produces the best quality coffee. Side note: this coffee machine uses less coffee beans than other machines we have owned.

As with everything Breville, the Barista touch Impress another fantastic product which makes life simpler and more enjoyable. It guides you step for step to make several different options of hot drinks. This step for step guide makes it easy for anyone to make a great cuppa. The touch screen makes it so easy to use. I love how they have added the milk alternative options to the coffee making process. Usually with milk alternatives you would have to know what temperature each milk alternative needs to be to get your silky smooth foam. This takes the guess work out, with a simple touch of a button, you can easily choose your milk alternative which ensures your milk comes out just how you want it. It has an assisted dose and tamp feature. If you don’t quite have enough grind for the perfect brew, the machine will tell you that you need a bit more. Tamping is also made easy with the assisted tamping lever. Overall, well done Breville…yet another winner of a product!

I love the sleek design, it looks very professional in our kitchen. The features are just amazing. Very user friendly with guide in instructions how to make your perfect cup of coffee. You can choose anything between cappuccino or latter to tea and even babychinos for your little ones. I really like the touchscreen- it tells me the process and if anything needs to be adjusted for better coffee. And the built in dose and tamp feature is very smart and makes it much more convenient- less mess in my kitchen. The machine also has an alternative milk setting- apart from your normal dairy milk you can also select almond, oat or soy milk. I love my coffee with almond milk so I use this feature daily. It heats the milk to perfect temperature- the milk and foam is silky, there is no clumps or separating. It’s definitely more on the pricey side, but I hardly ever buy takeaway coffee anymore and instead take my own cup of coffee with me. We are honestly so happy with this machine!

I prefer almond milk to dairy so was excited to trial the alternative milk setting. It took several attempts to get the milk the right temperature and right frothiness. I really appreciate the step by step process (e.g. when grinding the beans the machine would prompt "a little more" until I had the correct dosage. As new complex appliances can be overwhelming at first, it is a great idea to have the machine step you through the process. After playing around with the adjustments and familiarising myself with the machine I can honestly say by my 7th cup I've never had an almond milk coffee as silky and creamy as with the Barista Touch Impress.

First of all, I am very impressed with the new Breville Barista Impress! I have used a lot of coffee machines in my life, but I appreciate the professional guidance in making my coffee to make consistently every cup an amazing coffee. I love the real-time feedback option and that the machine mostly puts the perfect amount of coffee into the tamper. The extraction function is superb! There is no coffee grounds spill anymore near the grinder. I love also very much the hands-free milk settings for using alternative milk. I am amazed about the result every time I changed a different alternative milk. I used soy milk, almond milk and macadamia milk. The system always created a very satisfying smooth milk foam. I am so happy about the opportunity to test this machine and love the 3-second heat-up time with the new thermojet heating system. I can’t say anything negative about the machine. I only wonder if there will be somehow updates for the machine available.

After using the alternative milk settings for various milks (oat, soy, almond and rice) with friends, the consistency of froth for a cappuccino remained the same regardless of the type of milk being used. After getting the grind level correct for the type of bean being used (took me three settings of trial and error with real feedback from the machine on pour times) the assisted dose setting and tamp feature ensure a correctly measured and dispensed to fill the group head everytime with no waste. The intuitive guidance step by step instructions means no matter how tired I’ve been before my morning coffee I am yet to make a bad coffee with this machine. The self-refgulation of the machine takes the guess work out of making, cleaning and caring for the machine. The milk heating wand set up with the temperature monitoring platform makes for a perfect temp. The only fault I found with the entire set up is that I would like the milk fill indicator line on both sides of the milk jug.

The Breville Barista Touch Express has a elegant, sleek look that does require some bench space but won't look too over the top in the average kitchen. It's functionality is efficient and enjoyable. It will most likely take a few attempts to perfect your favourite coffee style but onde you do it becomes very easy to make. The tamp feature ensures that the correct quantity is ground every time so that you will experience that perfect taste from each cup. It will give you a cafe style coffee at home. I am very impressed and happy with different types of coffees it can do. It is great for milk alternatives like almond and soy. These milk alternatives differ in texture and consistency to milk yet it still produces an amazing coffee using the almond and soy options. The instructions and assisted tutorial were helpful but I find just trialling it myself I was able to master my favourite cup.

Very impressive coffee machine. It works really well and makes my coffee taste great. Easy to use with a professional coffee outcome - Everything you would want for a great morning coffee or a cheeky afternoon pick me up. Highly recommend this coffee machine from Breville.

I recently bought this as a gift for my grandmother, who's starting to find some tasks a bit more challenging as she gets older. My grandmother was initially a bit hesitant about using a fancy coffee machine, but the touch screen makes it incredibly easy for her to navigate through the various options and brew her favourite coffees with minimal effort. It also fits perfectly in her kitchen without taking up too much space, which is a huge plus. I couldn't be happier with this gift choice. It's brought so much joy to my grandmother's daily routine, and seeing her effortlessly whip up her favourite coffee has been heartwarming. Highly recommended!

I have had a breville for years and so does my Mother and Sister. You can’t beat the Barista for at home coffee. It took me a few go’s to find the right coffee and pull the right flavour from it but this machine doesn’t disappoint. Practice makes perfect and having coffee at home saves so much money!! Really!

This machine makes coffee that tastes like it was made in a cafe. It's amazing! I love using it, however, it does take a little time to figure out how to use it. It's worth the money, would recommend to people to like coffee.

A friend owns this machine and we always go to theirs for a weekend coffee catch up as their machine is so amazing. A beautiful blended cup of coffee, always smooth, the perfect temperature, silky oat milk and such a stunning machine to look at. Definitely something I would look to purchase in the near future.
