Probably the best home espresso machine I have ever used as far as results. But quality and reliability of the build are insufficient. I have used a lot of home espresso machines. From manual to super automatic machines and this machine produced the absolute best espresso drinks, while making it super easy to get great results. The machine walks you through everything, telling you what to correct and also adjusting certain settings for you. The milk steam wand does the work for you as far as milk texturing, and is excellent for producing milk textured for latte art. Seriously. Just tell it how hot (though it never seems to get above 154 degrees even when set at 170) and how much foam/froth and it gives you consistent results. So why three stars???
The build quality is questionable and our unit stopped working after 3 months. I do think I know why, and depending on your use, you may have a better long term experience. We used our machine daily, and I mean 3-4 espresso based drinks a day. And often, we would have guests and make 4-6 drinks in succession. That’s a lot for a home machine, and I believe the fact that this machine uses a single boiler (like most home machines) to pull the espresso shot then switch over to the milk steaming is a primary reason for the failure. The temperature for each or those processes is different, and making that many drinks in a row (constantly switching from espresso pull to milk steam and back and forth again) probably places a lot of stress on the boiler and the machine, and I believe that’s what led it to fail. But, whether that’s the case or not, at $1500, I expect a machine that can handle my daily use and the occasional back to back to back drinks. This isn’t the first Breville product I have had that eventually had issues. To be fair, I also drove those machines a little hard as well. But hey, if you get a machine that’s going to make great coffee, your friends and family will want some too…
At the end of the day, it’s a great machine when it works, and that’s why despite failing after 3 months I’m still giving it 3 stars. It does have a two year warranty, and make sure you purchase the Best Buy Geek Squad protection plan with it. For the price of the machine, you want Best Buy to be there for you if and when it does have issues. They took care of my issue immediately, no hassles or issues whatsoever.

Easy to use. Makes any coffee drink you want. Taste so much better than capsule pod coffee

I’ve had the Breville Barista Touch for a few months now, and it’s been a total game-changer. The touchscreen is super easy to use, and I love how quick it heats up — I can make a latte in just a few minutes. The built-in grinder and automatic milk frother make everything so smooth and consistent. It’s honestly saved me so many trips (and $$) from the coffee shop. Definitely worth the investment if you’re serious about good coffee at home.

Amazing coffee machine. I have previously purchased others and they all had issues and quality was not good. This is the best coffee maker I have owned.
