The Barista Touch

Espresso at the press of a screen.

The Barista Touch is the machine that convinced a lot of home baristas that a touchscreen belongs on an espresso machine. The interface holds a pre-programmed café menu, saves up to eight personalized drinks, and steps you through extraction one stage at a time. It's the version of the Barista line for people who want presets that work the same way every morning.

A built-in conical burr grinder with 30 settings handles grinding on demand. Single-touch operation doses directly into the 54mm portafilter. The machine heats with a ThermoJet system that reaches extraction temperature in three seconds.

What distinguishes the Barista Touch from the Impress version is the tamp. The Touch relies on manual tamping, with the razor tool in the box to level off the dose. That's a deliberate choice for brewers who want to handle the puck themselves.

Select, grind, tamp, pull. Or save it as a preset and tap.

Auto MilQ handles microfoam hands-free, adjustable from 104°F to 167°F with eight texture levels. Manual texturing is also available for anyone who wants to handle the wand themselves. The machine targets at least one million microbubbles per milliliter, which is the detail that separates usable milk from flat milk.

A 54mm stainless portafilter ships with single and dual wall baskets for both 1 and 2 cup shots. Low-pressure pre-infusion wets the puck before the pump steps up to 9 bar. The hardware is Breville's mid-line standard, and the touchscreen gives it a workflow that competes with machines above its price.

Seven things to know

Presets that stick and a workflow that doesn't ask for your day.

Touchscreen with saved drinks

Pre-programmed coffee menu plus up to eight personalized drink slots. Adjust coffee strength, milk texture, and temperature, then save.

Built-in conical burr grinder

Precision conical burrs with 30 grind settings and single-touch automatic dose control. Grinding, dosing, and extracting happen from the same machine.

ThermoJet heating

Reaches optimal extraction temperature in three seconds. Up to 32% more energy efficient than a Thermoblock.

Auto MilQ microfoam

Hands-free milk texturing with adjustable temperature from 104°F to 167°F and eight texture levels. Targets at least one million microbubbles per ml.

Manual texturing option

Prefer to steam milk by hand? The steam wand supports manual texturing whenever you want to work the jug yourself.

Low-pressure pre-infusion

The machine wets the puck at low pressure before stepping up to 9 bar. Even saturation, fewer channels, more body in the cup.

54mm stainless steel portafilter

Compact professional-grade portafilter with single and double wall filter baskets included for 1 and 2 cup shots.

How it works

Pick the drink. The machine walks the steps.

Select a drink on the touchscreen. The grinder doses on demand, the heater hits extraction temperature, and the screen walks you through each stage. For manual tamping, the razor tool in the box levels the puck. Lock in the portafilter and the machine pulls.

Extraction runs at 9 bar from a 15 bar Italian pump, with low-pressure pre-infusion to saturate the puck first. Milk steams through Auto MilQ, set to temperature and texture for the drink you chose.

Save a configuration once and the machine holds it. Morning espresso becomes a button press instead of a decision tree.

Who it's for

For the home brewer who wants presets with real range.

The Barista Touch is built for people who want a touchscreen that holds serious settings, not a marketing feature. The presets travel with real temperature, texture, and strength controls, and the manual workflow is always a tap away.

It's a good fit for couples with different drink preferences, or for anyone who wants the grinder, the tamp, and the machine to live in one appliance.
