Does it grind and steam automatically?

It grinds fresh per shot with built-in conical burrs and textures milk hands-free through the automatic steam wand. You still dose, tamp and start the shot yourself.

How big is it on the counter?

It measures about 12.4 inches wide, 12.8 inches deep and 13.4 inches tall, so plan for clearance under cabinets and room to remove the 67 oz water tank.

Expect the machine, portafilter, single and double wall filter baskets, a dosing funnel and a ClaroSwiss water filter. Milk pitcher and tamper are typically included; check the listing for the exact bundle.

The drip tray and dosing funnel are removable, and the funnel is dishwasher safe. The milk system and grinder need regular flushing and brushing, which owners cite as the main upkeep.

Is the Breville Barista Touch worth it?

If you want a grinder, automatic milk texturing and a touchscreen in one machine, it replaces several separate purchases. It sits at the premium end of home espresso machines, so weigh that against how often you make milk drinks.

How does it compare with the Barista Express?

Both share the conical burr grinder and 15 bar Italian pump. The Barista Touch adds the color touchscreen and automatic milk texturing, which owners say makes repeatable milk drinks easier.
