I absolutely love this espresso machine! The Breville Barista Touch makes amazing coffee with rich flavor and perfect crema every time. The touchscreen is very easy to use, and I love how quickly it heats up. The automatic milk frothing is smooth and creamy, just like in a real café. I also appreciate being able to customize my drinks. It looks beautiful on my counter and feels very high quality. Alina · Crate and Barrel
