Title: Great espresso, super easy to use
Review: I’ve had this machine close to 20 days, using it daily. This makes great espesso and lattes. It’s super easy to use and takes about 15 seconds to grind and 30 seconds for a shot. Main pros: great coffee, easy to use, straightforward. The touch screen is super intuitive and walks you through the steps for each drink. The tamper and portafilter feel solid, heavy, and are made of high quality stainless steel. It feels like quality when using. The tray below is super easy to clean.Cons: At first the grinder made a small clicking sound and got stuck. But then I realized it was because my coffee beans were too old and dry. After getting better beans the issue went away. For a true coffee snob, you might want to invest in a very high end grinder ($500 or more). In that case you’ll end up with two grinders one built in and one external. However, for the vast majority of people the built in grinder is good enough. Keep in mind having the grinder and espresso machine as one unit means there’s a little more risk of something breaking down the line, but it’s convenient and looks nice having everything in just one unit.A few tips:1. make sure to pack enough grinds in the portafilter to get a good shot.2. A bunch of reviews complain about the steam auto clean making a big mess. This is super easy to resolve. Just put the wand in the stainless steel cup before lowering it for cleaning. Then it sprays into the cup not all over the place. Seems like a no brainer. Because of the force or the cleaning, there’s no way it could be clean without containing the wand in a cup.

Title: Amazing
Review: I've been using it for a few weeks now and really enjoy it. It is super intuitive to use, and since I'm far from being a coffee buff, the touch screen display is really helpful. Even a novice like me could figure it out without much difficulty.Initial setup and calibration took a little while and I'm still tweaking the grind size and quantity. I'm getting better at getting the right pressure on the tamp too. That took a while to figure out.I've only used Americano and Latte so far but both have turned out great.The auto milk foaming wand is really nice. I found that having it foam for about 5-10 seconds longer than default allows me to more easily make the art on top of the drink. The wand self cleans which is amazing.The machine is solidly built and looks really nice on the counter. It is a little taller than I thought, with the bean hopper on top, so I have to slide it out from under my cupboards in order to fill the beans or fill the water behind.It's making very consistent and delicious coffee, and I'm very satisfied with it. With the high price point though, it'll be interesting to see how long it lasts and whether it ends up saving me any money from buying coffee instead. Time will tell.The spacing of everything is precise, down to the centimeter almost. The hot water sprayer and the portafiller are both super close to missing my mug, but somehow don't.I haven't cleaned it yet, as we're using Sparkletts water and the filter it came with, so very soft water and not much buildup. We'll see how the cleaning process goes but if I follow the instructions on the screen, I'm sure it'll be easy.Making the coffee is a little messy so it's good to have a damp cloth handy.I think Breville is a well respected brand and this one does not disappoint.

Title: From plant to cup
Review: I really like this product. Touch buttons for all the primary coffee house flavors are preset and you have the ability to modify settings to personal taste. Easy to follow setup tutorial gets you up and running quickly and when you become familiar with machine operations and setting which is not difficult at all, you can create other flavors. In a household where two or more have different preferences outside of the factory preset settings it is easy to adjust and save to an individual taste then next time you do nothing more than press the saved button for your personalized setting.Admittedly it is on the expensive side for home use, but for those who are coffee house regulars it will pay for itself in a short period of time The time spent to make a cup is faster than standing in line to have someone else make your cup and you have more options.I feel that I should address what I don't like about the machine, but that's difficult. It is solid, manufactured mostly out of stainless steel with very little plastic. If I had to request one change it would be for a larger water tank as the tank soon seems to empty when you are making more than one cup and purging the system to clean, but that's all I can think of.My heading has significance as I am fortunate to live in a location where I grow my own coffee. This machine now gives me the means of repeatability and knowing that every cup will be produced with the same grind, brew time and temperature allows me to assess coffee bean preparation and roast knowing the cup is made the same.With the Breville Barista Touch you have control of your own cup.

Review: $1,500 CAD espresso machine. Price is okay for someone with financial restrictions but can afford to go a little bougie; its worth the money. It is a hands-off machine, you get to enjoy many different coffee drinks and the machine will time and produce coffee ground and will also time how long your milk gets frothed and at the right temperature. the milk frother is top notch in this machine unlikes it breville barista (non-automatic). This machine has 3 openings in its frother and so you get a lot of steam distributed more evenly from more power. you also dont have to hold the frother container, you leave it and it does the work for you.I also own the breville barista machine (more manual) and I really enjoy the hands-on element that I get to partake in every morning. its become a sacred morning routine and I love it! I brought the breville barista touch for the office as it allows for more options of coffee drinks while keeping a bit of the manual element in it (moving the portafilter from the grinder section to the espresso making).This machine produces great coffee on a budget and its target user is also for those who want to get in on the espresso machine trend without doing all of the manual work.

Review: La máquina está preciosa, por donde la veas y lo que le veas está bien pensado, bien hecho y bien ensamblado. Los accesorios (jarra para espumar, portafiltros, filtros, etc.) son de la misma buena calidad y trae todo lo que necesitas para hacer espressos y cualquier bebida a base de espresso.Todo fue como lo esperaba: la caja llegó en perfecto estado, todo super bien empacado, es muy fácil de usar aunque no tengas experiencia, pues te va guiando y dando consejos para que ajustes la molienda y el tiempo de extracción. El sistema de la máquina está en inglés o en francés, pero el manual de instrucciones está en español de México así como la documentación de la garantía y la información de contacto y soporte para México.Todo perfecto hasta que llegué a la razón principal por la que compré la máquina:A mí me encanta el espresso americano (doble shot de espresso sobre 200 ml. de agua caliente) y esta máquina trae un programa específico para “americano” que emplea una salida de agua caliente que tiene la máquina y que cae directo a la taza antes de que extraiga el café. Lo que Breville no aclara en ningún lado (ni en el manual, ni en las especificaciones, ni en info en la página) es que la elevación de la ciudad en la que uses la máquina afecta la forma en la que sale el agua y ¡vaya que la afecta?!!!Yo vivo en León GTO, a 1,800 metros sobre el nivel del mar, que es altura media si comparas con otras ciudades en México: CDMX está a 2,250 metros, GDL a 1,575 metros y MTY a 540 metros para que se den una idea.Lo que sucede es que empieza a salir un chorrito muy controlado y a los pocos segundos empieza a salir vapor por la misma salida y hace que el agua salga como rociada para todos lados y se salpique todo en 30 cm a la redonda (vean el video para que no crean que exagero). Hablé a soporte de Breville y resulta que es un problema que tienen bien identificado y la única solución que me ofrecieron fue regresar la máquina. Volví a llamar un poco más tarde y abrí un ticket de soporte por la página y luego luego me respondieron lo mismo. Lo tienen perfectamente bien identificado y tan saben que no hay forma de arreglarlo que me dijeron que pasaría lo mismo con la salida de agua de cualquier otro modelo. En todos los casos me dijeron que, si la función de obtener agua caliente era importante para mí, me recomendaban regresar la máquina a Amazon y casi que buscarle por otro lado. Claro que super amables y cordiales, pero yo estaba en shock y dudando si algo más le iba a fallar por ese: “¡Ups! ¿A poco hay gente que toma café en las planicies elevadas y en las montañas?” que se aventó Breville.Afortunadamente hay otras formas de obtener agua caliente de la máquina, pero la función de “americano” es imposible de usar en mi ubicación. La solución es hacer lo que he visto que hacen en algunas cafeterías con máquinas profesionales y es dejar que corra agua sin poner el portafiltro. Para sacar 200 ml de agua caliente se tarda 30 segundos (con el mismo botón de extracción), cuando termina pongo el portafiltros ya listo con el café prensado y todo y vuelvo a extraer 30 segundos para que salga el espresso. Lo único que hay que cuidar es la limpieza de la regadera por la que sale el agua para el portafiltro después de cada extracción para que cuando saques solo agua no arrastre café molido de la extracción anterior.Lo de la salida de agua fue una mala experiencia y me hizo pensar muy en serio si debía quedarme con la máquina o regresarla. Decidí quedármela pues toooodo lo demás lo hace extraordinariamente bien y en menos de 7 intentos, ya estaba sacando unos espressos super ricos y ni siquiera había comprado buen café, estaba usando el Garat de grano que molemos al momento para la cafetera de goteo. Hoy, a 5 días de recibir la máquina, ya ni me acuerdo que tiene salida para agua caliente y ahora que compré un buen café tostado recientemente, no puedo creer que me esté tomando un café tan rico en mi casa y que me tarde menos de 2 minuntos en hacerlo (el espresso americano).A mi esposa le gustan los lattes y capuchinos y no se tardó nada en aprender a usar el espumador. Le encanta la textura de la espuma y ya me dijo que guarde el Aeroccino y la Nespresso porque nada que ver el sabor.Si les sirve de algo, les recomiendo ajustar a 13 la finura del molido, moler por 17 segundos, prensar sin tanta fuerza y extraer por 30 segundos. Son los ajustes con los que estoy obteniedo 18 gr de café molido y aprox. 36 gr de un espresso con buen sabor y buena crema. He notado que si aplico mucha fuerza al prensador, varía mucho la cantidad de café que obtengo, el sabor y la crema, por lo que antes de ajustar molido y tiempo de extracción, les sugiero practicar el prensado hasta que sean consistentes.

Review: I owned a very old DeLonghi and I switched to Breville. I love the machine. First, it heats up fast which helps when guests are waiting. Two, the touchscreen is a good guide when you are preparing your coffee. Three, it gives me a sense of achievement when I am an active participant in the brewing. Although I watched a lot of videos, make sure you get an expert demo in person, to understand the right grind size you want etc. So you can build confidence as a first time Barista. Enjoy your machine!

Review: I had the automatic Miele which tasted like plastic so, l returned it and bought the automatic Delongi it didn’t get hot enough so, I took it back and ordered the Barista Touch. It’s every bit as good as they claim it to be. It’s a little more work than the automatic ones but I can get a steaming hot drink. I’m still trying to get the brew just right to suit my taste. Still trying different coffees. I find it hard to do the 30 lbs of tamping pressure to make the coffee that’s why I put the four stars. Not a fault of the machine. Just me. All in all I would recommend this coffee maker .

Review: Después de una mala experiencia con la DeLonghi Specialista Arte, Amazon me devolvió lo que pagué por ella y decidí utilizarlo en esta cafetera, que se ve más sólida y resistente que la DeLonghi y es mucho más compacta. Es un producto de excelente calidad, la marca australiana Breville es top. La interfaz touch es sencilla de usar, y te permite agregar tus propias bebidas. Al principio es algo frustrante hacer cafés. Prepárate a desperdiciar medio kilo o más de café hasta que adquieras habilidad y puedas hacer un café que se pueda beber. No basta con ver videos de YouTube, hay una curva de aprendizaje muy amplia: tienes qué saber acerca de granos de café, niveles de tueste y molienda y luego adquirir habilidad preparando cafés y ajustando parámetros en la cafetera. Todo se puede hacer manual o automático, la cafetera tiene 15 bares de presión y todo funciona correctamente. Cada día me salen mejor mis espressos, me falta probar otras variedades de café y otros tipos de tueste, pero de momento mi favorito es uno de Oaxaca. Esta es una compra que debes realizar. Me despierto con ilusión de tomar mi delicioso café, y cuando vienen visitas y les preparo uno, todo mundo quiere comprar su propia cafetera. Si te gusta el buen café, invierte en una. No es barata, pero vale cada peso de lo que pagues por ella. Es de esas compras que te dan alegría usar todos los días.
