Breville Barista Touch Impress – FAQ
1. What is the difference between the Barista Touch Impress and the regular Barista Touch?
The Barista Touch Impress includes the new Impress™ Puck System for automated tamping and improved dose control, as well as Auto MilQ™ for advanced milk texturing. It also features updated software and workflow improvements over the standard Barista Touch.
2. Can I use pre-ground coffee with the Barista Touch Impress?
Yes, you can. While the machine includes a built-in conical burr grinder for freshly ground beans, it also has a bypass doser for pre-ground coffee.
3. How long does it take to heat up?
Thanks to the ThermoJet™ heating system, the machine is ready to brew in just 3 seconds.
4. Is the milk frothing automatic or manual?
The Barista Touch Impress uses Auto MilQ™, which automatically textures milk to your preferred temperature and froth level. Manual frothing is not required but is available for advanced users.

Yes! The touchscreen allows you to customize and save up to 8 personalized drinks with your preferred strength, milk texture, and temperature.
