Breville Barista Touch Impress: Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine with Built-In Baratza Grinder and Touchscreen

The barista's touch, simplified

The Breville Barista Touch Impress guides every step from bean to cup, with a touchscreen and a built-in guide. It's built for the home barista who wants a professional result without mastering every manual step.

What sets it apart

The Impress™ Puck system automatically doses and tamps the grounds at 10 kg of pressure with a 7-degree finish, for a consistent result without the manual tamping technique that usually takes practice. ThermoJet® brings water to temperature in just 3 seconds, using up to 32% less energy than a traditional thermoblock.

Key specifications

• Built-in Baratza® conical burr grinder with 30 grind settings, for fresh grounds tailored to your coffee.
• 15-bar Italian pump, for consistent extraction.
• 54 mm commercial-style portafilter, for a generous extraction volume.
• Roughly 2-liter water tank (67 oz) and about 225 g bean hopper (8 oz), so you refill less often.
• Dimensions of 31.8 x 33.5 x 40.1 cm (12.5 x 13.2 x 15.8 in) and weight of about 10.4 kg (23 lb).

Day to day

The Auto MilQ™ steam wand heats and textures milk automatically, with 8 texture options between 40 and 75 degrees Celsius, and works with almond, oat and soy milk. Manual frothing stays available for anyone who prefers to do it by hand. Swipe through 8 preprogrammed recipes or save up to 8 custom drinks, and the BILT® app walks you through setup with step-by-step 3D instructions.

Who it's for / Who it's not for

Ideal for anyone new to home espresso who wants café-quality results without mastering manual tamping. Also a good fit for anyone who wants to personalize and save their own recipes. Less suited to a purist who wants to control every extraction variable by hand, or to anyone looking for a prosumer-grade E61 group machine (see our Lelit or ECM manual machines).

Where it fits

Among semi-automatic machines with a built-in grinder and a guided digital interface, the Barista Touch Impress stands out for its automated Impress™ Puck tamping and near-instant ThermoJet® heat-up, both designed to reduce preparation errors.

What's included / Colors

Comes with a 54 mm stainless steel portafilter, a 480 ml stainless steel milk pitcher, commercial and pressurized single and double baskets, and cleaning accessories. Available in finishes including stainless steel, black truffle, and Damson blue.
