Barista Touch

hi! I am not sure if your Mom is the type that just wants a cup of brewed coffee, or, likes espresso. I like the option to pull espresso shots and steam milk with the same machine, and make lattes/cappuccino at home. I waited awhile to get one I thought was perfect - and truly have found my own cup

I have been using a Breville Barista Touch for about a year and a half. I just found a good deal on a used Profitec Go so I decided to upgrade. Night and day difference for me. And folks say the grinder matters most, but I’m still using the built in grinder from the Touch until my new grinder ships

Man I have a lesser machine than you having a Breville Barista Touch and it’s 90% puck prep because I feel like I have flawless thick syrupy espresso shots.

With the Barista touch you aren't sacrificing quality by making it at home. Most of the time my coffees are better

I quickly moved to an external grinder for consistency and I would say my Breville barista touch produces phenomenal espresso due to the switch to an external grinder and slow feeder. Wonderful consistent and syrupy shots daily.

I'm probably in the minority in this subreddit. But I got a used breville barista touch for the built in grinder convenience. Used a scale to dial in the grind time and weighed output until I got just over 2:1 and then didnt bother with th scale afterwards

A general rule of thumb is that grind quality is more important than the espresso machine. I owned the Breville Barista Touch for about 6 months before I upgraded because of this fact. The machine was great EXCEPT for the grinder. All Breville machines use a CONICAL grinder, which is so-so. A much b
