Barista Touch

With a 1500 budget you better not buy a Breville barista touch lol

I am in the same boat and I am almost ready to switch from Z10 to Breville (Sage) Barista Touch Impress - the only thing is that I would really love to compare the machines side by side.

Breville Barista Touch Impress here: Best upgrade for me was IMS basket and bottomless portafilter. I went with the IMS Big Bang & IMS precision baskets. The Big Bang basket is my daily driver.I did see a slight difference upgrading to the IMS precision nanotech shower screen. But IMO, the baskets w
