The Breville Barista Touch™ Impress (BES881) is an advanced espresso machine designed to simplify the coffee-making process while delivering professional-quality results. It offers a blend of automated features and manual control, catering to both novice baristas and experienced coffee enthusiasts.
The Barista Touch™ Impress is an all-in-one espresso machine that grinds, doses, tamps, and extracts espresso, and also textures milk automatically. Its core function is to produce a wide range of coffee beverages, from espresso shots to milk-based drinks like cappuccinos and lattes. The machine features a rapid heat-up system, achieving ideal extraction temperature in just 3 seconds, ensuring minimal waiting time.
At the heart of its espresso-making capability is a precision conical burr grinder, which maximizes the ground coffee surface area for a full espresso flavor. This grinder works in conjunction with the Barista Touch™ Impress Puck System, which streamlines the grinding, dosing, and tamping steps. The system includes precision measurement that automatically corrects the next dose based on previous grind amounts, ensuring consistent results. Assisted tamping provides a precise 10kg impression with a professional 7-degree barista twist, creating a polished puck.
For milk-based drinks, the machine offers automatic hands-free milk texturing. It textures milk to a selected temperature and style, ranging from silky smooth latte to creamy cappuccino. Users can choose their preferred milk type (dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk) to optimize results. After texturing, an automatic purge removes residual milk from the steam wand, maintaining cleanliness.
The machine also includes a dedicated hot water spout for making long blacks, teas, or pre-heating cups, adding to its versatility.
The Barista Touch™ Impress is designed for intuitive use, primarily through its color touch screen display. Users can swipe and select from a menu of drinks, receiving step-by-step barista guidance throughout the entire coffee-making process. This guidance helps users adjust shot volume, milk texture, or milk temperature, and then save their customized drink as a personal favorite.
