Grounds for celebration? Breville’s Barista Touch is 20% off before spring Prime Day

I didn’t set out to become someone who cares this much about espresso, I just wanted fewer coffee runs, more efficient mornings, and maybe…a little romance?

The Breville Barista Touch Espresso Machine took it a little too far. Within a week of using the Barista Touch daily, I began randomly pondering grind sizes and naming custom drink inventions things like “Bean Waiting for This.”

But what surprised me most wasn’t just that it makes good coffee; it’s how quickly it makes consistent coffee. I’ve used machines that felt like a gamble every morning, where one great shot was immediately followed by something borderline biohazardous. The touchscreen on the Barista Touch walks you through everything in an intuitive way, and once you dial in your preferences, it just…works. Every time.

I also didn’t expect to actually use the milk texturing features. The automatic steam wand produces silky microfoam without requiring any theatrics, which means I can get something very close to a cafe-level latte while half awake in my bathrobe. Between that and the built-in grinder (which is non-negotiable if you care about flavor), it’s replaced my morning coffee routine entirely.
