The only way to start my day
Wouldnt buy anything but a Breville coffee machine. The sales agent also reinforced this as she said: its all we sell.
Upgraded from an older Breville and its much faster, coffee tastes great and looks good.

The perfect blend!
We purchase the Breville Barister Touch just over a month ago and we dont how we previously lived without it! The machine is beautiful and the quality of the coffee she produces is second to none! We were able to select our own settings and save these to achieve the perfect blend of coffee each time! The settings are extremely self explanatory and the machine is very user friendly!

10 months in - working great
So this definitely has a learning curve when setting up - but once you've got it in the sweet spot, it's excellent. I bought this to supplement coffee for groomsmen leading up to my wedding Oct 2018, so I've had almost a year with the device and it's my daily coffee maker. I guess everyone wants to hear negatives. I guess if I had to criticize some things... single boiler certainly makes things slightly slower - but I'm not bothered by it. The grinder is really loud - I can't make a coffee in the next room next to my wife without disturbing her...Read more
. I'm not very up to speed with how noise levels of grinders, but just something to note. I've had the machine freak out once and do a hard reset on itself, so all settings/profiles were lost. It didn't bother me too much. What I don't like is if you adjust grind times in a profile it will change for all profiles.. so you still need a cheat sheet as to the best settings for yourself. I never, ever use the little 'blade' tool they provide to keep the coffee at the right depth in the portafilter. I've found if I've got too much coffee in the portafilter the pressure isn't sufficient to keep up and will result in burned coffee, so that simply means reduce the grind time and also likely reduce tamp pressure.Purchased in September 2018 at Harvey Norman for $1,300.00.

Love!!!!
This is our second one of these machines. Our first was thrashed for several years in a house with 7 coffee friends. We got the same one again as it’s so easy to use, cleaning product is accessible and saves us many $$ on our coffee fix!

Overall a very capable machine
Ive previously used nothing but really old commercial espresso machines. The wife has had enough of the big metal monstrosities, and it was time for something smaller (and less power hungry).
After reading a few reviews, I settled on the Barista Touch. While it's only a single boiler machine, the temperature switches from steam to brew very rapidly. The only downside to their thermoblock system, is no pre-heating of the mugs.
The grinder is very good in this machine. It grinds very consistently and has a massive range. For those that don't kn...Read more
ow, there is a second coarse adjustment of the top burr itself, which gives you an extra 5 stops of fineness/coarseness for each adjustment setting. The coffee itself comes out fairly consistenly. Using cheap Aldi Lazzio dark roast gives acceptable results every time. I am looking forward to trying a nice single origin when time permits. The milk frother is also very good. It gives a nice even microfoam every time. It is a bit thin even after increasing the stiffness to 7. But for a Latte it's quite nice.Purchased in April 2019 at Harvey Norman for $1,399.00.

Love great coffee
We purchased this coffee machine because we love good quality coffee that’s easy to replicate every time. We read the great reviews & thought it was too good to be true but after following the easy steps to calibrate this machine we are blown away with the ease of producing great coffee every time.... so glad we purchased this product. :)

Early days but wow.
After battling JURA on what was simply an awful overpriced machine that couldn't perform the simple task of making coffee (seriously my old $80 Aldi capsule machine from 8 years ago was far superior) I went back to the retailer and organised an exchange for a totally different brand and went with this Breville.
I've been on the hunt for the right coffee machine for me for years now and so far this is it.
I had also considered DeLonghi but had one of their Nespresso Latissima's before the Jura which really put me off looking at them again ...Read more
when I decided to move up from a capsule machine (again not as good as the Aldi one) it worked well but the plastic bits started falling off after 6 months and they nor Nespresso seemed very invested in any after service. I also found Nespresso's capsule business model and need to be in a club with no customer benefits other than selling on your information just so over engineered and complicated for the simple task of buying coffee I had to move on. I've had a few Breville appliances over the years and never had an issue. I replaced a lid on my long standing multi chef after about 8 years of continual use and found service was easy, friendly and very reasonably priced. I've also noticed that unlike others, if people report a problem Breville at least seem to monitor their boards and give customers the courtesy of a response. After the appalling after service from other brands in decades gone by for a simple service or part replacement looking at this is actually quite an important consideration for me these days when choosing new appliances. I've had this Barista Touch a few days and this is actually more user friendly, easier to use and keep clean than the supposedly fully automatic JURA. I've not even bothered as yet to change the factory standard settings. The brew and milk froth is perfection. The touch screen selections and demos are really well done. Excellent footprint if you have limited bench space, looks great and even the design of the water tank, little tool box and drip tray just seems to me to be so thoughtfully designed and it feels like a really sturdy quality built machine. The cleaning tools are perfectly compatible and it seems to line up exactly as it should to move from grind to brew to milk froth.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

Excellent Coffee Machine
I bought and tried Delonghi automatic coffee machine, Nespresso capsule coffee machine, the last one is Breville Barista Touch, it's just like commercial barista coffee machine, but smaller, very easy to use and clean, the automatic milk frother is fantastic, I just place a milk jar with milk into the machine, use touch screen to choose temperature and thickness, then press the start button, the foamed milk is done around 30 seconds without moving my fingers.
It came with a coffee bur grinder, how coarse or fine for beans all up to you.
Great coffee machine.
Con: the dispenser area needs a led light, can't see the amount of coffee properly.

Questions & Answers
Jacob L.asked
I can not turn on my Breville Barista touch machine for restart, after auto power off, in spite of pushing the power button on the machine. The only way that I can turn it is to push the power button "after plugging and plugging the power code to electrical outlet". Anything wrong with my machine power system or is it normal? Anybody knows?

Hello does anyone know what error code 1 and error code 2 mean? I’ve been having this problem for months and it either happens on start up or once the brew or steam wand is started, but once it comes up the machine won’t work again for a couple of hours or days. I’ve tried contacting sage support uk as it’s still under warranty but they are not helpful and seem to not know the answer and now have stopped replying.

I have just bought a refurbished Breville BES880 and don't seem to be able to make a hot long black, just warm. The water temperature is as high as it will go. Drinks with milk added are okay as the milk is hot. I preheat the cup and the portafilter and purge the group head as well. Any suggestions

Hi Karen.
Try a Factory reset. Go through the start up process as per instructions. When done check the Temp on hot water after that.
I find that all problems reset after a factory reset.
Peter
Thanks Peter. I've done the reset. The hot water is 60 Celsius and when I make a cappa the temp before milk is added is 25 to 30 degrees. Are these temps correct.
I just measured a cup of straight hot water, no coffee, and I got 60.5 C.
