Their Barista Touch Impress, bought on sale, has been fantastic.

“we ran out and bought the breville impress touch on sale the same day! It's been fantastic”

A year and a half with their Barista Touch Impress: really nice, fast heating and near-instant switch to steam.

“Almost instant switching from brewing to steaming. Decent steaming power. Very fast heating.”
positivefast heat-up

They never got a decent espresso from their Barista Touch Impress; everything tasted bitter.

“I was never able to get a decent cup out of it. All espresso I tied tasted bitter without any sweet notes”
negative

They own and recommend the Barista Touch Impress, finding it better-tasting than their old bean-to-cup.

“Breville barista touch impress (i own this personally)”
positive

Happy overall with their new Barista Touch Impress, but the built-in grinder retains 2–3g and the tamper clashes with WDT and a dosing funnel.

“For the grinder, it has quite a bit of retention.”
