The Barista Touch Impress incorporates the formula used by professional machines: the right dose of freshly ground beans, precise temperature control, optimal water pressure and true microfoam milk.

A sublime blend of the best of manual coffee machines with automatic savvy in the form of step-by-step barista guidance, the Barista Touch Impress is designed to provide excellent cup after cup. It starts with real-time feedback as the machine navigates the user through the Impress Puck System, precise extraction and hands-free silky smooth microfoam. A ThermoJet heating system provides a 3-second heat-up time, that means going from bean to cup faster than ever before. The intelligent dosing, assisted 22lb tamping and auto correction of the next dose help achieve a precise puck, finished with a barista twist. Meanwhile, the automatic steam wand allows precise adjustment of the milk temperature with 8 levels of texture to suit individual tastes. The result is a silky smooth microfoam with at least 1 million micro bubbles per ml that enhances the flavor of the coffee and is essential for pouring latte art or hands-on manual texturing. If all that wasn’t enough, the Auto MilQ features new alternative milk settings for almond, oat and soy milks which calibrate air injection time and temperature specific to the type of milk chosen; Breville.com.
