Most espresso machines come with major sticker shock — though you definitely get what you pay for. And when you add up all the Starbucks trips you've made over the last few years, there's a good chance it'll put things into perspective. Of course, a little discount never hurts.
As of Sept. 12, the Breville Barista Touch Impress is on sale for $999.95 at Amazon. That's 33% off its list price and its best price on record. This is only the second time the fancy home espresso machine has dropped below $1,000, making the sticker shock sting a little less.
The Barista Touch Impress is designed to help beginners make specialty coffee at home, thanks to step-by-step barista guidance at your fingertips. It gives you real time feedback and helps you navigate through the brewing process — from selecting the right dose of freshly ground beans to precisely controlling the temperature and water pressure to creating silky microfoam. The built-in touchscreen guides you every step of the way, making it hard to mess things up. Just swipe and select from the 13 presets or customize up to six drinks.
It's a great choice for someone looking to make the switch from everyday coffee shop spending to specialty drinks at home. It aims to flatten the learning curve a bit to make your espresso experience as smooth as your microfoam. Sure, $999.95 is still pretty steep, but if the Breville Barista Touch Impress is on your wishlist, this is the cheapest you'll find it.
