Breville Barista Touch BES880

Overview

The Breville Barista Touch BES880 brings touchscreen convenience to the Barista lineup, featuring a vibrant color LCD touchscreen that allows you to select and customize your drink with swipe-and-tap simplicity. The machine stores up to eight personalized drink recipes, each adjustable for grind size, dose amount, milk temperature, and milk texture level. This makes it uniquely suited for households where multiple people enjoy different drinks — Dad can have his straight espresso while Mom gets her oat milk flat white, each at the touch of a button. The ThermoJet heating system provides the same rapid 3-second heat-up as the Barista Pro, and the integrated conical burr grinder delivers precise, consistent dosing. Where the Barista Touch truly differentiates itself is in the automatic milk texturing system: the steam wand automatically froths milk to your selected temperature and texture level, removing the skill barrier of manual steam wand operation. This makes cafe-quality milk drinks accessible even to complete beginners. The 54mm portafilter and pre-infusion system maintain the espresso quality Breville is known for, while the touchscreen interface adds a layer of polish that makes the daily coffee ritual feel effortless.

The Breville Barista Touch BES880 comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $1,000, the Breville Barista Touch BES880 is designed for serious home baristas who want café-quality espresso. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.

In terms of build quality, the Breville Barista Touch BES880 is a substantial machine, weighing in at 12.8 kg, manufactured in Australia, drawing 1680W of power. With dimensions of 330 x 310 x 400 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 2000 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
