Up to eight saved drinks.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelect, grind, tamp, pull.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePresets that stick and a workflow that doesn't ask for your day.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTouchscreen with saved drinks\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pre-programmed coffee menu plus up to eight personalized drink slots.
