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

Had a Gaggia machine for 17 years and when it failed recently we found this machine and ordered it. It's not particularly simple to operate until you get used to the Bluetooth facility, but it does make a great cup of coffee with many options. Could do with a larger bean hopper and the milk facility works well. Geoffchats · costco.co.uk
