We have had the Breville Espresso Machine since April of 2020 (COVID purchase) and it's performance is not worth the price. The first issue was pressure. The system would never get up to the "espresso pressure range" and the coffee tasted very bitter. We called customer service and sent the machine back. took about 6 weeks for the system to be fixed. The issue was resolved. The second issue involves the preset brew time. The brew time sometimes would stop when programmed and sometimes not and continue to brew requiring manual stop - this would lead to a poor brew requiring a restart and a frustrated user. Tried reprogramming and it temporarily fixed the problem but would reoccur after a couple brew cycles. The third issue is inconsistent volume of grinder output. ... MoreWe have had the Breville Espresso Machine since April of 2020 (COVID purchase) and it's performance is not worth the price.

I would send the system back for repairs but do not want to shell out the expense to fix a faulty machine. When it works it yields a great espresso.

I purchased this product a year ago. For the past couple decades I have been a Gaggia Classic person, and it is a fine long lasting machine though manual, so when my second one gave out I thought it time to move up to something easier to use and automatic, especially for spouse & guests - and relive me from barista duty. (note: this review is for the Touch model in Black Truffle) Frankly, it took me a while to shell out this money & deciding on which product to go with. So much so I spent several months after my old machine broke going out for my morning espresso (my spouse likes to point out that I spent more going out for espresso than this machine costs - and she is probably right as I like quad shots & sometimes twice a day, at $6 a pop it adds up, not to ... MoreI purchased this product a year ago.

I must say I am very pleased with my purchase. For me, the resulting temperature, crema, froth are all excellent. And the machine is uncomplicated and easy to use. I read all the reviews beforehand and frankly there is nothing to add to those other 5 star reviews. And to the 1 star reviews all I can say is I have never experienced your issues (that is heat, grind & steaming problems called out have never been an issue for me). This is not to say it's perfect, just that where it could improve does not affect the quality of the result (of course I'm hopeful it will stand the test of time, don't expect it to last as long as my old manual ones, but frankly if this lasts 6 plus years I'll be happy). And if you want to know my nitpicks: - I might not do black again. The body is fine and well made but the pull out tray is less robust and now has a couple little chips in the color. - The metal tray is thin and very easily scratches (but it is easily replaceable). - The grinder will occasionally not feed because the beans in the bottom can eventually stack in a way to block enough from feeding (easily handled as now I just stir the beans up in the hopper on refill, but I suppose where the beans feed could have more horizontal height to prevent this). - You can push the portafilter into the grinding cradle to auto start the grinding, but be aware if you do quickly/hard then the resulting position of portafilter may be off in cradle enough to cause the grind to spill over the edge (can't really blame the product, though hopefully Breville are aware most customers are still half asleep when using the machine). - It will slide under standard height mounted cabinets over countertop, though it will not for those of us that later installed under lights to existing cabinets (not a criticism, just a shout out to those considering who may have the same situation then end up with less counter space than expecting). See, I said they were nitpicks. I hope you have as much success and enjoyment as me.

My wife had been at me for a couple of years to get a coffee machine, but I was concerned it would just become another appliance collecting dust in our kitchen (plus I rarely drink coffee so it seemed quite an expensive purchase for one person). Anyway, her birthday snuck up on me and I became desperate for a gift :-) so I decided to take a closer look at coffee machines. All my research pointed to the Breville range (no, I’m not affiliated with the company in any way). I couldn’t justify the dollars for an Oracle so I looked at the Barista range.

Manually tamping the ground coffee is super easy (getting the pour right only took a couple of test runs), and the auto milk frother is great. All in all, I’m very happy with my purchase. I guess my only concern is how durable the product is. There seems to be quite a bit that could go wrong. Hopefully I get 5+ years out of it.

I did a lot of online research of different espresso machine manufacturers and models and decided on purchasing the Breville Barista Touch. My wife and I have had an excellent experience with Breville in the past when they replaced a defective juicer that had broken down just before the end of our warranty period. Breville provided great customer service in responding to our problem and delivered a new replacement machine without any delays or questions. Given our experience with Breville, we felt it would be wise to stick with a company we've dealt with before, and given the many positive customer reviews of the Barista Touch, we were confident with our purchase. The Barista Touch is a wonderful espresso machine that has given us many fantastic cappuccinos, lattes ... MoreI did a lot of online research of different espresso machine manufacturers and models and decided on purchasing the Breville Barista Touch.

The Barista Touch is a wonderful espresso machine that has given us many fantastic cappuccinos, lattes and espressos. The touch screen and pre-sets of various drink options make you feel like an expert barista, without having to learn the challenging craft and science of actually being a barista. We also appreciated how we can make adjustments to the grind, frothing temperature and brewing process. We are so pleased with what we've made so far, and cannot recommend the Touch highly enough.
This is a great machine. Great milk froth as everyone says either doing it automatically or manually. Those few people that say the brew is all black do not know that is when your coffee is from a supermarket which has been roasted for ages. It is great that Breville provides a double wall basket to fix that problem. That nearly tricked me when buying coffee that was roasted two days ago was working perfectly in a single bottom basket. I tried it again after two weeks and the brew was all black. I realised after wasting two lots of coffee that I needed the double wall basket and all was good. I'll remember that. Breville must be almost the only company that supplies double wall baskets. It is great not to make a mess with the coffee because of the Dosing Funnel. I ... MoreThis is a great machine.

I 3D printed one until the Breville one arrived with the Fathers Day special. Just makes it no mess to wipe up. You will not be disappointed. Just buy it.
Preface: I worked 10 years as a barista and was trained on a fully manual machine. I have had this machine a little over 1 month at time of writing. When I was looking to upgrade my existing drip coffee maker, I knew I wanted a semiautomatic machine with a built in grinder and steam wand. This fit what I was looking for perfectly! Easy enough for other members of the family to use, but also something that kept the art in espresso making. I found both with this machine. It's easy to use for those with no experience and I feel like I'm back in the shop with the manual aspects of the machine. I see only 2 improvements that could be made: 1. The dosing funnel should NOT fit onto the group head to prevent this issue in the first place.

The dosing funnel should NOT fit onto the group head to prevent this issue in the first place. The fact that it can even fit on the head when it's not supposed be put there to is an issue for novice users. 2. The water tank could be a little bigger as I go though it pretty quickly in an average week.
After much research on Breville's different models as well as research on other brands, I bought this model for the automatic milk frothing, so other family members can make their own coffee while still having the option of frothing manually. The steam wand's auto-purge feature and on-screen reminder makes sure no one forgets to purge the wand. The touch screen presents a menu of drink options and allows customizing your own drinks. It's also useful for showing cleaning and descaling reminders, which is more informative than flashing lights like with Breville's screen-less models and cuts down on "family customer support" calls. I like the process of dialing in a new coffee bag, pulling your own shots with the portafilter, and even trying to learn latte art.

I like the process of dialing in a new coffee bag, pulling your own shots with the portafilter, and even trying to learn latte art. It's become part of the coffee experience and much different from what you would get from a superautomatic machine. It sits under our kitchen cabinets, so I put a sliding mat underneath to make it easier to refill the large water tank and bean hopper. Without the mat, pulling out the rather heavy machine resulted in the drip tray sloshing water into the storage tray behind it.The pop-up roller on the higher-end Brevilles was a brilliant idea. Too bad it isn't on thisTouch. I like how it heats up in a few seconds, instead of several minutes with other brands. A minor gripe is I wished the custom brew temperature setting displayed the actual temperature in C/F like it does for milk steaming, instead of options like "High 1". However the fact that you can even easily customize the brew temperature from a touch screen is a huge plus. If Breville made a grinder-less touchscreen model with automatic milk frothing and quick heating in a compact package (Breville, here's an idea, please: "Bambino Plus Touch"), I would have gone for that and a separate grinder instead. I am still very happy with this purchase. The whole family loves this espresso maker and it gets used multiple times a day, drastically increasing our family's consumption of milk and coffee and milk-moustache-decorated smiles all around.
I had a Breville Barista Express BES870 for about 5 years and loved it. Decided to upgrade to the Barista Touch and I'm also very happy with it. I like the memory function for my favorite drink (latte) with the exact settings for grind size, etc. I was looking forward to the automated milk frother, but I like a "thicker" steamed milk to add to my latte (I use organic 1% from Costco). The AUTOMATED frother does a good job, but the steamed milk isn't as thick as with my old 870 machine - so I manually froth my milk, holding the TIP of the steam wand submerged, but closer to the surface. (The automated steam method keeps the tip of the steam wand very close to the bottom of the milk container.) Presto, very thick steamed milk and I LOVE IT, albeit, I have to do it ... MoreI had a Breville Barista Express BES870 for about 5 years and loved it.

It is a little quicker because the Touch wand is more powerful. If you like a latte that has a "creamy" feel to it, I strongly recommend you try this manual technique. I'm very happy with the new machine and my daughter loves my old one which attests to Breville's quality - very durable if you maintain them properly. Thanks Breville!!!
Debated spending a few hundred more to upgrade from Bambino, but the Touch is definitely worth it. The presets and ability to create individual preference coffees is a great change. Precision grind and brew plus the auto or manual frothing options welcomed! Cleaning guided instructions so much easier to follow. A little more difficult to change out beans from hopper - wish there was easier method to “clear out” Beans at grinder level when switching bean types. But patience and tweezers will work. Drip tray apparently needs to be emptied before it displays “Empty” message or water leaks from bottom of unit. I place a stainless steel tray under unit to prevent accidental water leaking over the countertop. I wish the distance from portafilter and mug tray was just a ... MoreDebated spending a few hundred more to upgrade from Bambino, but the Touch is definitely worth it.

I wish the distance from portafilter and mug tray was just a tad more so my favorite mugs would fit more easily into position. Other than these minor issues, I recommend purchasing a Touch if you’re ready for the next step up in espresso machines.
If I could give this machine 300 stars I would. This has been a complete game changer in our house. First off I’m the type of person that watches 100 hours of reviews and reads and reads and reads. I find myself consistently coming back to these machines as they are sophisticated yet also easy to use. This machine is no different. After watching all the videos and seeing that this machine “saves” settings I knew this would be perfect for my wife. Back story on her…..she would make her morning trip down to the local Starbucks and buy 12 dollar Blonde roast lattes with oat milk Every day. EVERY DAY. I quickly did the math and it was scary. Thinking about that, crying, and then finding this machine I knew this was my answer. It was easy, fun, and I could dial it in ... MoreIf I could give this machine 300 stars I would.

Thinking about that, crying, and then finding this machine I knew this was my answer. It was easy, fun, and I could dial it in with the same Blond Roast to get her the same “religious” drink she was buying everyday . I was nervous because replicating a behemoths signature coffee drink is definitely an overwhelming task. But I was here for it. After opening it and her almost coming to tears we got to set up. I think it only took maybe 3 drinks and we nailed it. We had not only made the drink but we made it better. It was so easy to do. She instantly became this super confident barista master. She started making drinks for everyone. They guy that painted our house? Boom Latte. The house cleaner? Boom latte. Me? Boom latte. She has fallen completely head over heels for this machine and says it’s the most thoughtful gift I ever gave her. I should have gave her this 13 years ago. Haha. Anyway here we are now 3 months later and she is ripping off Lattes left and right and loving this machine. My wallet and also loves this machine. You want to know who doesn’t love this machine? The 7 ladies at the local Starbucks that practically called her a sister because how many times she was in there. She even went back one time since she got this machine and they commented, “hey we are so glad you are alive. We were getting worried.” Anyways this machine is great. I love it and she loves it. Thanks to you guys for making such a great machine.
