I bought this machine the other day. I have no idea what I'm doing. I can't believe I figured it out, and now, every morning, I'm making a fun coffee instead of just the regular boring watered-down coffee I make out of the K-Cup. this machine is awesome. I'm so glad I bought it. It took me two years to decide, and I'm so glad I waited and got this one. Thanks for all your really helpful information😊
hahaha anything would be better than a K-Cup
it is worth waiting sometimes. i have been deciding 2 or 3 weeks this time. finally decided on this.
Great review! As a Barista Touch user for three years, would you recommend upgrading from the Barista Touch to the Barista Touch Impress? Thank you.
This machine definitely boasts some amazing upgrades! But if you are happy with your machine then stick with it :)
Love the live, always fun
holy shit, what. this new machine is impressive. well, ok, it's over 3x the cost of the original 870xl.
Morning, Quick question. is the heating and pump\ guts of the bambino espresso part the same as in the Breville Touch?
How does it do with decaf?
This machine will do great with decaf! Just make sure it is espresso roast decaf and not dark!
@@ecscoffeeincWhat is the difference? What is espresso roast? I got the only decaf available at the roast shop, it was organic single origin medium roasted a week ago.
@@Carolyn7hoffman Espresso roast is typically medium, but it is more of a suggestion! The roaster will label a bag as espresso roast if they believe it will be best enjoyed as espresso :)
Can you use a 58 portafilter in it?
Nope! Only 54mm
Got it, thanks!
@@ecscoffeeinccan you use the 58mm puck sucker for the 54mm portafilter?
@@Carolyn7hoffman No, the puck sucker is only compatible with the Breville 58mm portafilter :)
Watching your videos made me purchase this machine through your online store, the crema looked fantastic and everything else about this machine. BUT, this is not what I'm getting. We must have spent close to $100 of coffee in 2 weeks of owning it. It's never stable. The system says 30 second shots are too quick (even had a 40 second shot and said it was too quick). No crema or barely any. We used fresh beans from 2 different local roasters (within the timeframe you specified), used old beans (Starbucks, Bridgehead, William's) and it's always the same. We need to keep adjusting the grind size because from one cup to the next it's never the same. It's a VERY frustrating machine to use as it's never stable like it's intended to be. Not sure what the return window is but I'm not too far from boxing it back up and shipping it back. Did we get a lemon?
Hi! Sorry to hear you are having issues with the machine... Are you able to come into either of our locations for some help? If not, please give our customer service a call at 1-800-263-3890! We would love to be able to work this out for you :)
@@ecscoffeeinc Thanks ECSCoffee for the reply. I found the issue!!! It’s the Impress System.
Since it’s supposed to be automatic what type of troubleshooting can there be? Oh, a lot. First off, the Impress System is flawed. It gives shots from 20 to 40 seconds. The impress tamp is never consistent. So, I started removing my portafilter after the grind and equalizing the grinds, then adding it back and tamping after. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I’m consistently in the range of 26 to 31 seconds!!! I find it too bad for Breville to try to make a machine to help people make easier espressos, but this isn’t the case. Too bad, I would have bought a cheaper machine if that was the case. Lessons learned, I guess. Nonetheless, we are making fantastic Espresso now with a bit of fiddling around! :)
just brought one on Monday. waiting to be delivered. i went sea salt. love the matt black. but i live in a dusty house. the chrome holds to many fingerprints. just started watching this video. thanks.
I have never had a Barista machine and am somewhat a novice! But this video is for me, to help me become more confident in understanding terms and procedures. I may have to splurge and get this thing! Does it steam Heavy Cream? I love heavy cream!
Off topic but damn, Wendy is absolutely jacked 😳
We also have the oracle, and I suggest anyone ignore any claim these machines perform similarly. The puck quality is not great, and the steamed milk quality is a 4 out of 10 (the oracle is a 7 out of 10). @lifestylelab - what is with the black funnel under the portafilter basket for? To me it serves no purpose than than to hide poorly distributed grinds By deceptively ensuring the user only sees a perfectly equal split of espresso coming out of the two portafilter spouts. The ECS comparison review is an interesting one because you have a hard time hiding their feelings about performance even then you keep plowing through the comparison. Maybe I got a dud, but it this point I went from recommending Breville without reservation, but now I don’t want the responsibility for other people’s disappointment. Maybe I would feel better if there were software updates to make it better. Here are the reasons for oracle over this: better bigger easier to access water tank. Real auto dosing, “DISTRIBUTION “, and tamping. Really good (not watery) steamed milk.
So what do you recommend?
@@2006mrderrickh there are too many options and a lot depends on level of hobby interest. To be clear, this is a good machine, but I think the praise is overdone. The bottom line is that the steamed milk is watery and not very good. I even went back to a local coffee shop and asked them to produce a test (in case the unit I had was a dud). It was the same our unit. Is it better than similar priced machines? I am not sure. It is clearly not a good as proclaimed here and not even close to what the Oracle can do.
$1500 is a bit high. If it hits closer to $1000 on a sale, I think it’d be an easier choice. Honestly though, at $1500 it’s still probably worth it over almost any superautomatic machine at the same price.
$1,199 right now
@@2006mrderrickh The prophecy has been fulfilled lol 😂
Close. It actually does not differentiate wether a dual wall or single wall basket is used during the process, you will have to know this coming in. Single wall FRESH beans, dual wall not as fresh beans.
Anyone else having issues with the coffee temperature with the touch impress
That foam is terrible.
So automatic might as well get a Nespresso machine.
Dialing in beans is pretty easy with a normal grinder after you've done it a few times.
Just purchased. Need to upgrade from my Breville Pico Barista since the super automatic doesn't really allow much creativity. The only drawback will be finding someone to take my old machine.
I've had this machine shy of 3 months, and I'm finally pulling some excellent shots. 😅🎉
Great to hear!
Always enjoy the wealth of knowledge that Wendy and Rebecca bring to a new product launch!
My anxiety was elevated so much when she was showing the puck. I just knew coffee was gone spill 😂😂😂😂
Thank you ladies for your informative video much appreciated .
$1500 US for a 54 mm portafilter! Should have gone with the international standard of 58mm.
Could be worse…. Could be the deLonghi 51mm standard….
@@ThorMaxx oh brother! I'm so tired of these price increases with so little in return.
Tis a joke for this price. $1000 max
On sale at the moment for $1,199
@@2006mrderrickh where? Not with this company!
Can we decide if we want a single espresso shot or a double ?? Please reply
Yes, you will need to swap out the baskets and ensure you are using a single basket for single shot, and double basket for double shot :)
What makes this $500 better than the old Barista Touch?
Integrated tamping, barista guidance for assisted dialing in, more powerful and precise steam wand, larger bean hopper, more pre-programmed beverages :)
Great channel! Helped me choose our coffee machine which I’m loving.
One thing I’m wondering if it’s going to be an issue for me is not having the right bean for espresso vs drip in the True Brew since you can only have one bean type in there only. I do select the bold button to help with that. I’ve moved over from the Nespresso Vertuo Next only cause I was tired of the limited selection in drip coffees and the over exaggerated foam. I just wanted to get straight to the black coffee. But loved the espresso on the Nespresso and that I could have a specific pod/flavor varietal for that.
Hi Tim!
On the TrueBrew you will use the same bean for the drip coffee as you will for the espresso-like beverage. If you are looking at a whole new unit you can still use the same beans, but a true espresso roast is best used with this machine :)
Hi do you have a review on the breville oracle jet?
We will in the next few weeks.
Thanks for the review. For ease for my wife to make her latte in the morning before work, I have to get the Touch. In saying that, I understand that the touch comes with their own tamper but would I be able to use the internal grinder for coffee into the portafilter and then use my own tamper, WDT, Gravity distributer before I pull the shot? Thank you
First off id like to know if you had problems with the temperature my shot doesn't come hot even with the temperature setting set a +4.
And secondly, im a novice in the espresso world so I'd like to know how to pull a lungo from the barista touch 😅
So, in short, don't use this machine in the super early morning. The whole house will awake with " abit more grind" super lol. 😅
TY. This in-depth demo has been so helpful.
I just love these real-enduser review videos!!! I may sell my E61 machine and get this! It's a game changer!
Tell em Jack... Oat milk.. boooo lol A high quality Organic Whole milk that is all I need.
I have been on the fence whether to buy the Breville Barista Touch or the Touch Impress. I read that the Touch does not produce hot coffee. Is this true if the Touch Impress also?
This was such a great review! THANK YOU! ❤
i believe you can still use it in manual mode if you want. which is good.
Thanks for the review, but the pricing by Breville is crazy. Since the Touch has been 20% off for most of the past six months, it’s tough to justify the nearly $600 US premium for the Impress feature
$1,199 right now
@@2006mrderrickh still too much for what it is
Difference is 400 the touch is 800.
Thanks again for excellent review and usage of this machine.
Question on the Barista Touch Impress: Can you remove the puck and stir to remove chunks / even out the pile, then put it back in the machine to tamp it or does the machine prevent this or will it screw up the program?
Unfortunately not really with this machine!
Nice big signage for DeLonghi in the background 😂
how many coffees do you think you could make in a row with this machine? I have a big family and we all drink coffee… lol
Hmmm... How big is big? This machine can definitely brew at least 5-6 back to back but may need a break afterwards
14:34 puck grind & tamper results 👀
Is that good or bad?
Never had a espresso machine but just returning from Italy I want one! Did some research and this machine comes on top from several different sites. My whole life I used either a Ninja coffee maker or a percolator. Can this machine warm coffee mate creamer or flavored coffee creamer or would that not be recommended? Nice job on the video!
Hmmm.. Not really recommended! Would definitely recommend heating regular milk, and adding flavoured syrup to your drink if you wanted some flavour :)
I prefer not to use plastic in my coffee machine. Why does this machine incorporate plastic in the portafilter? Can I operate the machine without that plastic piece in the portafilter? Otherwise, I may need to return it.
Hi! The stock portafilter needs to be used with the plastic piece. There are aftermarket compatible portafitlers that don't have any plastic! Like Crema :) Check it out here: ecscoffee.com/a/search/espresso-accessories?filter_brand=Crema+Coffee+Products&filter_shop_all=Portafilters
From a pro, where do I place the wand in the cup? While still hitting the sensor it can nearly touch the edge of the cup or be more centered. The placement of the sensor seems a bit odd, not sure where to put the cup exactly.
The centre milk pitcher sits on the sensor, then the milk wand will sit in the centre of the milk jug as well :)
Brilliant video. Well done ladies :-)
I love everything about this machine but the water temp is not adjustable .... as a result the coffee is not hot. my previous Breville water temp is very hot
You can adjust the temperature of the milk and the added water for Americano.
After increasing my grind size for some new beans, my machine makes me press a bit more during grinding about 10 times. I’ve made a dozen shots and it will not calibrate. Anyone have any suggestions?
We would suggest heading into your main settings menu and resetting up your intelligent brew set up :)
@@ecscoffeeincI tried that but no luck unfortunately. I appreciate you getting back to me, thank you!
You guys do such a great review
As someone who wants Caffeinated and Decaffeinated drinks in their household. When I buy the Barista Touch Impress I was also planning on buying a separate grinder which I will use specifically for decaf beans. If I make a new profile on the touch impress for Decaf will that work? This may sound really stupid but can I switch between decaf and caffeinated coffee in the barista impress daily for different drinks and will the machine learn those two different types of coffee consistently without the hassle of having to keep dialing in because I switch to decaf or caffeinated or do I need two separate barista impress machines to do this?
You can memorize the grind size for each, then purge in between swapping beans. It would likely dose wrong but you just do the add a bit more function. Just based on my first week of use. You could get half caff coffee blends.
Great coffee until the boiler let's go just out of warranty 2.4 years.
Known fault with o rings
Fixed in 30 min
@tommiel6740 not 30min when circuit board gets wet from boiler water.
I thought it was first introduced in April 2023. How can it be 2.4 years old?
Months sorry
@@dunk1the manufacturer’s warranty is two years. It’s not out of warranty after 2.4 months.
How dose it stand against a oracle touch ?
We are loving this machine, probably more than the oracle touch 😉You can't brew and steam at the same time but you can set your milk up to steam once your espresso has poured.
Seems good if your not in a hurry for work
This is my model of coffee espresso machine
I don't see a lungo option.. I am guessing it cannot be programmed to do it?
You can definitely pour a lungo! You can customize personal beverages exactly to your liking.
This foam doesn't look good for the latte art. Can this machine produce a microfoam?
Yes it can! Setting the foam setting to somewhere between 3-5 will produce beautiful micro foam :)
Thank you!
Does anyone know when the Barista Touch Impress is available in the colour Black Truffle?
We cannot confirm nor deny if this colour will be coming out around Fall
Thank you for your assessment :)
It is now. Just missed the sale. Maybe wait for Black Friday.
Is there an option with dairy milk skim, lite or full cream or does it matter?
For those options you would select regular milk! However keep in mind that 2% froths the best :)
@ecscoffeeinc thanks, I didn't know that. I'll be coming from a budget pod machine. Looking at this Breville machine and the Delonghi maestro with cold brew.
Can you recommend good beans for this machine?
Hi! It depends on what flavour profile you are after. But fresh is best!
@@ecscoffeeincyes i found a Coffee Roaster close to me! 🥰
Love the puck!
Thank you
I used this product in its old version and it was better.
The barista touch is great! This machine does offer some great upgrades though :)
Better, how so? 😊
4:58 Jack is correct.
Is this made in Italy 🇮🇹?
No this machine is not made in Italy
I think breville is a German company called sage in Europe and breville in USA. So German engineering probably produced to spec in a cheaper country.
@@Carolyn7hoffman Breville is an Australian company :)
54mm portafilter, 15 bars of pressure...come one Breville, wth?
What's wrong with either of those?actually curious
@@jaxon258 the higher the pressure the more chances of over extracting...but it's possible that at the brew head the pressure could be lower, in the 9 range. People need to test this.
@@Floppyrom ah gotcha, I'm more of a super automatic guy I assumed you'd want more pressure than 15 bar
@@jaxon258 Read this article "Exploring Low-Pressure Extraction: 9 Bar vs 6 Bar Espresso" from climpsonandsons. The lower pressure avoids channeling and creates a much more balanced shot and in all cases people actually prefer 6 bars to 9 bars.
@@Floppyromwhich machine do you recommend?
Too many ads.
I want this machine in Norway 🥲
It's available in Denmark now
The European version is under the brand name Sage.
