Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine Drops Back to Its Black Friday Low, Smarter Buy Than Your Daily Starbucks Habit

If you're tired of going to a coffee shop every morning, here's your solution.

Reading time 2 minutes

The Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine gives you the functionality of a commercial cafe in one piece of equipment that does everything from grinding your beans to steaming the milk. Instead of using multiple buttons and timer dials, you simply touch the front of the machine to select the type of drink, the strength of the coffee, and the amount of milk. It has an internal conical burr grinder that drops freshly ground coffee into the portafilter, and the ThermoJet heating system allows the machine to reach brewing temperature in 3 seconds. Once you have added beans to the bean hopper and water to the water reservoir, you can go from whole beans to a perfect espresso in less than 60 seconds.

You can find the Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine for only $800, down from the original retail price of $1,000, on Amazon.com. This is a $200 savings and a 20% discount.

A reliable machine for fresh coffee daily, straight from home

The Barista’s interface is designed to guide you step-by-step through making each drink using a three-part process. After selecting your preferred drink, you can then adjust the strength of your coffee, the temperature of the milk, and the texture of the milk until your final product is exactly what you want.

A single button on the grinder automatically measures the correct amount of coffee on demand and dispenses it directly into the portafilter. If you need to adjust the grind size based on the type of bean you are currently using, you may do so as well.

The Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine also reduces the difficulty of steaming milk for those new to using a wand. Using the automatic steam wand, you can select the desired milk temperature and foam level, and the wand will produce it with very little babysitting. Micro-foam greatly enhances the ability to produce lattes and cappuccino-style coffee that tastes close to what you would experience in a cafe, and the provided stainless steel jug can be placed directly under the wand for convenient pouring.

The removable water tank and included water filter both contribute to a better-tasting espresso shot. Additionally, the drip tray is slide-out for easy cleaning once it becomes full. The screen, grinder controls, portafilter cradle, and steam wand are all angled towards the front of the machine, allowing you to perform tasks without stretching around it.

The machine is intended to make creating high-quality espresso at home accessible. Included in the package are touch-screen-guided drink selection, automatic micro-foam production, and additional accessories, including the jug, filter, and Razor precision dose trimming tool. At a discounted price of $800 compared to its original price of $1,000, the Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine converts the time spent running back and forth to cafes into the ability to make your own espresso-based beverages at home.
