My wife and I bought this for our 2019 Christmas present. We love it. We didn't know much about specialty coffee's until we found Seattle Coffee Gears' KZread channel. But now we enjoy our coffee to a much much greater degree. Thank you!

Thanks Gail, my "sage"touch arrived today, my early retirement present to myself, your advice is invaluable.

Gail, I just bought this machine based on overall reviews and this is the first video I watched about it. You really made my day.! Thank you so much

how do you like it 2 years later?

Got the breville touch at the office yesterday. Honestly... for the price... quality ... 0 complaints. I like to mess around with the frothing and do it myself but i know when im pressed for time i don't want to wait around while it froths. so the two options of auto/manual are awesome. It isn't as customize-able as the dual boiler but if you don't mind all that stuff this is really nice. thanks for the review gail!

Great looking machine, I'm in the hunt for one and this one is right up there. For me Gail is the "BEST" person Seattle Coffee Gear has to demonstrate any and all the machines you guys have. She is of course very experienced but most importantly she is clear speaking, cutting through very well to the listeners making it very easy to distinguish from different machines and make good buying decisions. As far as the other spoke persons, they are good but they stand a very far second place to Gail on everything about demonstrations on coffee machines. I'm sorry that I am so blunt and honest about this but Seattle Coffee Gear is the one doing the sales not me. I don't know what they would be without Gail when she retires and I hope that answer is "NEVER."

You can actually control the brew temperature from the system settings menu, according to the instruction manual, but it doesn't mention the lowest and highest temperatures that you can set.

Thank you Gail!!! I love how you get to the point, and your funny too!! Great advice!!

Thank you Gail. I’ve been waiting for this review for a few weeks.

Thanks Gail, love your work. I'd upgrade but the current machine just won't stop. Close to four years now and still making great coffee. Thanks, from down under.

This is one of the best review I have ever seen. I purchased the same machine in matte black. The machine is overwhelming looks as far as operation but you explained well as far as a start and it will be a trial and error in the beginning but I have a feeling it will be fun using it. Thank you so much for sharing the video

Gail! You're awesome! I love your informative and fun videos!

Great video Gail, most informative. Looks like a super machine.

This is so helpful, thanks for the review and tour of the machine Gail and team!

Thanks 🙏 just bought one, looking forward to my first cuppa. I loved your review

Beautiful machine! Loved your energy Gail! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷💕

I always enjoy these vids.

Love your video's!! Sticking with my Saeco Incanto Deluxe. I am lazy with little time to stand and do all that. I've had it for years....... and only needed a new pump.

Awesome video. Bought the machine and I love it. Make sure to use good equipment (filtered water, fresh milk and beans) and you’re good to go.

Gail is the best! This video inspired me to purchase this machine and yes, I did name the customized flat white “Gail” 😊

After watching this demonstration I ordered it from Seattle Coffee Gear. Very please with the Barista Touch and SCG's customer service was very responsive.

I’ve been using a Keurig, I know ugh, for daily coffee and an original Saeco Via Venizia for my espresso for years and finally looking at the Breville Barista touch to replace them both soon. Thanks for the great review.

Gail is the best. This is one machine I am considering for my FIRST REAL espresso machine. Now going to watch the Oracle demo!

I just got this machine and I absolutely love it.

Just got one, unboxed it & went immediately to see if you’d done a review! Thank you, good one

This is a great review. Gail, you're a natural!

We got hooked on Cappuccino coffee when we went to Croatia and I am seriously thinking about getting one of these home versions! Gail did a very nice job demonstrating this machine. :)

I have this machine dialed! 19 grams espresso, (grind depends on the espresso you’re using I’ve used between a 4 and 7 grind) 28-35 seconds for the perfect shot at 38 grams out liquid. If you can get there most of the time you will have achieved Nirvana. Run 30 seconds of hot water through the group head before first use in the morning. Never run a cold shot! And also turn up the brew temp a couple of notches to get it close to 200F.

Just ordered, thanks for the great review Gail

Going to buy this from you guys because of this great review by Gail!

Gail, my breville touch arrived today, thank u for teaching the protocol on how to use. I set my machine up 10 mins... I am so excited!

Love your vibe and review!

Thanks for the very thorough and informative review, Gail!

Thankyou so much 💓 I can finally make coffee ☕ 😌 how much times I want may God bless you

Thanks to the good review from Gail I bought the Barista Touch today (in The Netherlands). The brand of the machine is Sage, but it's similar to the Barista Touch of Breville. Can't wait to make my first espresso or cappuccino with this machine!

Got my machine. Thank you for the videos. I like her personality

They have... had one of these at my work. It lasted a few months. Machine didn't stop one second there would be lines to make a capuccino or lattes. Then we went back to one of those corporate coffee machines that make coffee with some kind of weird powder.

I just tested this machine and you can control the brew/broiler temperature in the settings menu.

@@eliangarcia2486 Yes, Gail said it's ready very quickly, just about right away. From my understanding.

Nearly double the price of the other version, Called Sage in the UK, not Brevile. I know I am looking at getting a new machine to replace my Gaggia Classic, but that price is a bit high. Saying that the Gaggia is ok, my problem is mainly the grnder.

Just got the machine today, can't wait to try it out.

Hi, I have the Barista Pro and I like it but I am thinking of getting this Touch or else the Delongi La specialist. The machine is for my house and I work from home. No one else uses it. I would like to try and automate the milk part which is a bit annoying on the Pro I have now. Apart from that I feel the Breville makes a bit of a mess where the Delongi has the nice tamping system. So my question is 1. If I get the Touch, is it worth the upgrade? 2. Should I consider the delongi or is the Breville a better machine.

Love the programs. It’ll make an Americano with hot water at the right ratios or a latte or almost whatever you want. Sure you will want to tweak like Gail does, but the programs are a great start. One downside for me after using it for a month is that you can’t control water temp beyond default and four low and four high settings. I’d like to know what temp it is running at but honestly it makes great drinks so I’m not sure I need to adjust. There was only one roast where I would have liked that control so far. Probably been watching too many YT videos. :) But I love it. Thanks for all the great content and coffee and gear Seattle Coffee Gear.

Forget the machine, Gail is a pleasure to listen to.

I have one. Yes you can adjust brew temperature, located in settings. :-)

I love Gails energy, she's a hoot and I love watching her!

Great machine! I will buy it. Great demo. Thank you!

Have one of these machines and it works great. Easy to use, and ready to brew in seconds.

It’s a super nice tool. Really makes a difference in the mornings

I am now a loyal follower of Gail. Loved the review!

Gail this has been a difficult machine to produce the right shot. I have watched your video multiple times and it appears you barely put any pressure when tamping. Also when you check your level you are far below the line as you indicate, though your crema is amazing and the separation looks great. I can't produce your same shot no matter what. I've adjusted grind level, tamp pressure, etc as they indicate on the guide, but still no where close to your cup. Any suggestions? Is it the espresso beans? Not fresh enough? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This machine is my dream ❤

What are your setting me for the cappuccino? I don’t know what to do for grind setting or the time for the brew?

HI May i know is the grinder for Barista Touch the same digital non-click 30 setting as the Barista Pro? And is this grinder comparable to an average or above average standalone one?

I own a great Italian machine purchased from Seattle Coffee Gear. After 5 years, it needed a new pump. My advice to everyone is to save your boxes so it can be sent back for servicing. It’s very difficult to get an expert tech to repair a foreign espresso machine locally. A local tech was recommended but it took him a very, very long time to repair and was done by trial and error and I mean error!! With this said, I would like to have a back-up and one that’s really different with some features for a change of pace. This one-touch seems to fit the bill with all the features but am on the fence between the Touch and a couple other Breville models. I’ll watch a few more videos. I wish Gail were still there. She’s always done such a terrific job!

So fancy ! Adding that to my wish list for sure and buy until my nespresdo of of 5 years breaks down

Thanks Gail! Great review as always.

I wish they would have added a screen to the double boiler and made a cheaper, more manual oracle with no grinder. A double boiler makes more sense with the auto milk frothing.

just ordered it! you convinced me Gail!

I love my Barista Express. There's something calming about frothing one's own milk.

Does the coffee machine move when placing or removing portafilter?

Is all drinks espresso based with this machine or does it make black coffee as well?

Is this machine still a good option to purchase now?

Gail, would the steamed milk on the barista touch be very similar to the Breville Nespresso Creatista Plus?

I have been a very manual girl for the past 20+ years. I had a bodum french press and Bialetti Moka Express for 22 years and recently became a fan of a very simple, pour over. Well, we lost everything in the Carr Fire in July. I decided to purchase a machine and a friend had the previous generation Breville without the touch screen and I loved it. Went to Williams-Sonoma to purchase one and the sales clerk performed some Jedi mind trick and I bought this one. So far, I am a fan, however, when grinding, it flies everywhere making a huge mess. If anyone has any suggestions or, can remedy my dumb issue? Also, love this video!

I like to tap the portafilter up and down gently from the handle while it’s seated underneath and actively receiving the grounds. Helps level without making a mountainous peak which can topple over at time of pulling out. I like that you can adjust to the second the amount of grounds that it fills. Minimizes waste and allows for excellent dosing.

Seems like a nice machine to me. It all depends on what you're looking for and in the price range you're willing to commit to. There's other options for everyone's specific needs out there. Cheers!

Can you do a review on the Breville creastista machine

Great video, thanks for sharing 👍

I've owned this machine for a couple years now. I watched this video before buying and did again today just because i miss Gails reviews

Bought my Barista Express 3 years ago after watching Gail do a review on it. I absolutely love my machine. However, I married a non-coffee person and he's frustrated that he can't make me a surprise latte. I think he's afraid of the milk and frothing. Ha! After this review, I wonder if this would solve that issue and I wonder if I want my Express to break. Nah. I don't want it to break, but I know what I will give serious consideration to if it does. Thanks so much for your wonderful reviews Gail.

I’m on the fence between the Touch and the Express. After watching this review/demo, I think I’m going to take the leap and get the Touch. Thanks Gail. Just subscribed.

I'm on the same fence that you were on a year ago, Sean. What would you recommend now? I'm concerned because some ppl aren't as happy with the hydrojet technology because it doesn't warm up the heads, etc, and keep them warm, from what I understand. I don't know what to do! Got the Breville Express as a gift for the holidays and only have a couple more days before I can exchange for the Touch, if I'd like to upgrade.

So. Do I want the oracle, the oracle touch, or the barista touch??? Best value please...thanks. Please advise...

Good video. Breville barista express is pretty good one, except for weak steam frosting. It is ok for cappuccino type drinks, but it is not good for latte art.

Can you do manual frothing, to keep skills in use or for the fun of it?

Hi, on Oracle Touch, please would you be able to tell me the height measurements from the bottom to the flat area to the right of the grinder so I can see if that part fit under my cabinet? Grinder it would fit at the outside area where my cabinets end. Thank you. Len.

Hello i like your video , I have a question i need to know how to program the espresso i used to have the manual one and i program myself and its amazing, now i got the barista touch but i cant get the same taste of the espresso even though i have tried alot of grinding scales but still can’t figure out

is this the exact same automatic steam wand found on the breville nespresso creatista?

Does this Breville Barista Touch have a Conical or Flat Burr Coffee Grinder? Does this machine come with the utensils to level up your ground coffee? Could you tell us exactly what comes with this machine? Thanks.

as always great stuff, does it come with the milk holder?

I have owned this for over a year. I think the most difficult part is being able to dial in your espresso beans. I am still finding the balance of pulling a great shot using only fresh local beans. I do wish the espresso could be hotter even after setting it at a high temperature still moderately warm and not as hot as I would prefer. It will take time to be able to find the right consistency in pulling great shots...

Breville makes some good machines, I just don't seem to have good luck with them. First one, the grinder gears broke and it wouldn't stop trying to grind. Breville was kind enough to replace the entire machine. Then a year later the replacement broke. Some unknown reasons, steam was coming out of the brew head instead of the steam wand. Bought a third machine and now it wont froth, temp seems super cold, no hot water. All have been the BES870

So, it has no pid temperature control?
