Barista-quality performance with new intuitive touch screen display with pre-programmed café drinks menu and automatic milk texturing, all within a compact footprint. A built-in grinder delivers the right amount of ground coffee on demand and with a 3 second heat up time, you go from bean to cup, faster than ever before. Have you ever wondered why your home-made coffee never seems to taste as great as a café bought one? That’s because most other automatic machines only dose 11-13 g of ground coffee, below what’s needed to create that rich, full-bodied taste you get out of bed for. The difference between an ashy or balanced tasting espresso can be as little as 33.8 °F. The Barista Touch uses digital temperature control (PID) technology which detects and minimizes any fluctuation during extraction, ensuring the temperature is kept at its optimum range, every time. Creating a golden honey crema in your coffee relies on the right pressure at the right time. The Barista Touch uses low pressure, pre-infusion to evenly soak and expand the ground coffee, delivering a sweet and creamy extraction.To get that velvety texture in your milk you need the right steam pressure to draw in the air and create thousands of tiny bubbles. That’s why we created the automatic steam wand for the Barista Touch, that turns your milk into a silky smooth micro-foam, essential for latte art. Intuitive touch screen display simplifies how to make your favorite café coffee in 3 easy steps – Grind, Brew and Milk. You can easily adjust the coffee strength, milk texture and temperature to suit your taste. Then save the setting with your own unique name. Create and save up to 8 personalized coffees. Easily adjust the coffee strength, milk texture and temperature to suit your taste. You can also personalize up to 8 different coffees with their very own unique image and name. Auto steam wand, allows you to adjust the milk temperature and texture to suit your taste.

Didn’t work for long Machine was wonderful for about 4 weeks. At that point, the frother kept giving me a “clogged” error message. I went through the routine to unclog it, as described on the touchscreen. This kept happening for days. I called Customer Service and was told to do a factory reset. That didn’t make a difference. At about the same time, I began having trouble with the brewing. The elapsed time before extraction became excessively long. I suspect a pump problem with the machine. I called…
CLEAR DESIGN DEFECT – MASSIVE BREW TEMP PROBLEMS DO YOUR RESEARCH! Breville is clearly having problems with the Barista Touch heating design. My original unit from Amazon (purchased Dec 2018) would only reach a brew temp of 145F degrees AT THE MAX BREW TEMP SETTING. Espresso brew temps should be around 200F degrees. I contacted Breville and arranged for the exchange of a new unit, which they assured me had design changes to address this problem. It arrived and only achieved a brew temp in the same 145F range. I contacted Breville again…
Not well supported by Breville! This brewer uses a strange water filter that can only be ordered from Breville! The cost is $13.00 as opposed to around $1.75 for all of their other machines. Not well supported!
