When making ice coffee, try to add some ice cubes in the cup and let the espresso brew right in on the ice, it helps to keep the acidity to a minimum. I use to do this when working in a coffee shop, it will be worth a try if it makes the espresso smoother.

Been thinking bout getting myself an espresso machine at home for so long but still can’t decide which one I should go for. Thanks for the video it’s really helpful to me

Thanks for your video, very well explained.❤

This is the overview of this machine that I was looking for you. You should all stuff I wanted to see at the exact pacing and detail that I wanted. Thank you!

You're doing the Lord's work! Thank you for such a detailed breakdown!

You answered all my questions. Thank you! **proceed to checkout** 😊

Love this video thanks for the break down and ACTUALLY showing stuff!

Very helpful for this new owner. Thanks!

Thanks for the video Will be purchasing this soon ❤❤

Thanks, Jeremy! This is really helpful.

Great video, thanks Jeremy!

This is a Christmas gift to myself and you made iced lattes (which I love). Thank you so much for this! I can’t wait to use it!😊

I agree. We have one and it's sooo good!

I really appreciate how you did it with step-by-step instructions and then at the end you did the whole thing! 👏🏻❤️👍🏻

Thank you so much. This video really helps.

Lordy…that looks soooo good!

I'm waiting for my Touch to arrive next week and I really appreciate the tip on cleaning the wand into the jug. No one else has mentioned that and it's definitely something I will be doing as I hate "splashy" spots all over. LOL

What a helpful video. Thanks so much for sharing. Just purchased it today from Williams Sonoma on sale for $799.95 and if you apply for their credit card, you get an additional 10% off! Also on sale for the same price at the Breville Store. ☕

Great video/ thanks for your time much appreciated.

Great demo! You definitely simplified something that seems intimidating 😅

My family just purchased the Touch this week. It is everything Jeremy says it is. I just brewed probably the 2nd best cup of coffee ive had. 10/10

I have this machine and I agree.

So i do appreciate the video and this helps a lot. I am going to buy one of these. But you day for beginners a lot and i wonder do you prefer having something more manual or does this seem perfect to you and still gets the great flavor of coffee without the more specific settings like the manual

Great video😊

Thanks for the great video, very detailed instruction. But I found the price is still not so friendly for beginner though, do you have any lower price point espresso machine recommendation?

Where did you get the coffee ground funnel? This is an awesome review!

Hi, we just got this machine, but are trying to grind more for an extremely dark espresso, like Cuban café and don’t know where to go with this. Any suggestion? T4s

Morning, Quick question. is the heating and pump\ guts of the bambino espresso part the same as in the Touch?

Hi, where did u get this accessory for the portafilter? Thx

Where do I purchase the funnel?

how high is your counter to cabinet. i am trying to see if it will fit my space.

Side note… can you share the name of your under-mount lights?

The Breville Touch for the money is pretty unbeatable and certainly makes espresso is good as the majority of the Baristas considering they're in a time crunch and really don't care. I'd say it's biggest advantage other than it being a integrated unit from a reputable manufacturer is its automatic milk frothing. Most households have maybe two people that are hobby like for making espresso and the remainder are not and this bridges the gap. The stock portafilter is pretty awful and it's something that I would recommend you replace before anything else. Not only is it difficult to clean but the plastic is acting as an insulator. I prefer a bottomless portafilter. The advantage to a bottomless is that you can see if you're having channeling. Also I don't leave excess beans in the hopper, I only weigh out single dose. There is a aftermarket bellow that you can get or as a hack you can leave one corner of the lid on and compress air to force out remaining coffee grinds. That way you ensure that the freshest coffee is being used. My bang for the buck gear: 1. GeeAnkok Premium 54mm Naked Bottomless Portafilter. Normcore also sells a OEM looking version, but I like the wood. 2. Normcore WDT Distribution Tool V2.1 3. Normcore V4 Coffee Tamper 53.3mm - Spring-loaded 4. TIMEMORE 2022 Scale (you can spend triple for an Acaia Lunar Scale and get a 10% better scale); you need a fast, simple and flexible scale. 5. IMS Precision 18-22 g filter basket B62.52TH28E 6. Crema 54mm Dosing Funnel (move portafilter in a circular fashion when grinding; distributes as good as a WDT) 7. Dosing cup e.g. Crema 53.4mm Dosing Cup; I pre-weigh my coffee beans .. So any 'cup' can be used. 8. Breville Mini knock box, or larger if there's a lot of people in your home. 9. (Opt) Saint Anthony Industries Bloc Tamp Station. There are a lot of similar organizers available. 10. (Opt) Normcore 53.3mm Coffee Distribution Tool ; after using a WDT, I use a distribution tool set higher to even out and start compression. 11. (Opt) Breville Fresh & Furious Blender is a great matchy matchy add-on for espresso-based mixed drinks. It does a good job of chopping ice and making delicious frozen drinks. Next step up obviously is an expensive Vitamix.

Purging into the cup!!! Doh…why did I not ever think of that?? Thanks.

Can you do a descale video ?

can you do manual steaming?

JJ…your kitchen is beautiful!

okay this is a start

Do you use different settings for different types of beans that you get? Also, how much milk do you steam for a double shot?

thanks

Can it froth oatmilk?

doesn't this have a built-in tamp?

How do you know how big/small to grind and how long to brew?… true beginner here lol

How y’all is this machine?

I’ve actually owned the separate Breville grinder and espresso machine for years. I like making caramel cappuccinos.

How often should I clean out the milk steamer? Can I make like 5 continuous Latte's without cleaning it? Thanks

I’m grateful to have found this video I have this machine and only pull bitter sour shots Can someone recommend setting for espresso pleaseeee

At what point should you add the flavor syrups

Has anyone any advise in terms of the coffee always seems cold. I have been pre heating cups trying to keep it a reasonable temperature to drink. Also I do get fresh beans Mail order and no matter i always end up with a bitter tasting coffee. Any advise appreciated.

Where’s your nugget ice machine ?

3:47 - How many people moved your mouse to wake up your computer?

Do you ever make warm drinks with your machine? How’s the warmth. I hear it don’t get warm enough.

This breville don’t sell in uk tried on eBay and Amazon just sold out just annoying that now won’t get one at all

What number do you have the grinder on ?

I just got an error message on my Barista Touch and only 18 months old It's very well taken care of. The first machine I got was dead on arrival. I had a Barista Express that blew up. So, I'll see how Breville handles this to see if I stay with them. I love this machine but as I have been searching for a clue as to what that error is, I find there are a LOT of people having issues with their machines. I have the delivery receipt for Sonoma Williams, the charge to my credit care but my receipt has deteriorated and all the writing is gone and it's unreadable so we'll see. A thousand dollar machine should not break down this soon.

What are the best settings for a Latte on this machine?

im so clueless that i tried to grind without putting coffee beans in the machine lmao

Never out plastic or veneered items in the dishwasher

Ipreffer nugget ice, lol,

That’s a lot of MELK lol

Hey Jeremy, this is my official RU-vid channel. I figured I should stop in and post a comment on the channels that I am subscribed to.

Fyi totally failed by your instruction as beginner. Without explanations of terminologies and components and build up things, I’d messed up my first shot without shot filter thing(?) that you never mentioned. Not for beginners but by beginner

OMG ! My Nespresso machine is so much easier, very small footprint, so much quicker, virtually no mess, endless taste choices, but most of all the coffee oil remaining in a manual dispenser gets rancid over time as well as some oil residue in the upper filter. Taste is subjective, for sugarless and milk less me rancid fat tastings are NOT for me!

the coffee that it makes is better than starbucks. the dumbest thing I have ever headd

Two commercials. Gave you a thumbs down.
