Issues within the first week
We’ve had a great experience with Breville products and when we saw that they had espresso machines we opted to get one; we were very excited for it to arrive and opened it immediately. It worked well the first weekend but then we’d had an issue by the end of the first week. The water was not coming through the grinds and filling the espresso cup, we tried trouble shooting with a clean cycle, and trying different sized grinds and nothing was working. With this issue so early on we opted for a return, for something so expensive I was nervous about the longevity of it even if we’d gone through customer support and had a replacement shipped.
Great on everything except one major flaw
Makes great coffee, easy to use, good size water tank, many many things to love about this machine and one thing that is worth losing two stars. You cannot save the grind quantity (single or double shot) with the drink. If, let's say, you do double shot and your spouse does single shots, you are condemned to switch between the settings for eternity. Essentially, saving a drink "recipe" is just saving a milk setting. You should be honest and call it that, Save your Milk Setting. Because you know what? A drink recipe INCLUDES the coffee quantity. The engineer (because no product manager in their right mind would do that) that decided not to save the grind quantity with the drinks recipes should be forced to always have to switch the shot setting before they are allowed to do anything else. Such a shame for an otherwise pretty perfect machine.

Thank you for your review and your feedback. Because the beans are constantly losing gasses, the grind size/amount may need to change day to day. This may also mean that you may need to change to a different filter basket, which the machine wouldn't be able to detect. But we'll definitely pass along your feedback to the appropriate people. We are continuously trying to improve our customer's experience.

New with the Barista Touch Impress, a question
We bought this two weeks ago. We are working at the grind, testing and tasting, which brought forth an issue and question. The grind often creates a drifting of grounds toward the front of the basket. Spillage occurs often. We noted that there is a dosing funnel on Breville.com , which is back ordered. Is this funnel able to function with Barista Touch Impress? Thanks.

Most expensive 3 cup of americano and one Latte.
I was very excited to get my Breville Barista touch impress That I bought 8/12/24 . Yesterday I set it up and made 3 americano and one cup of Latte. Was very happy with it. Today I mde one Americano enjoyed it and turnoff the machine. Hour later machine turn on byself and screen was on Service mode. Try to turn off from power button but no respond so I had to disconnect the cord from power outlet. when tried to turn on no respone from power button then I push the side handle tried the power screen became alive but went straight to Service mode wher screen asked your name after entering my name try to press yes green mark but no response. turn off the machine again and no reponse from power button again. So tried the handle and power button to get the power back and unfortunatley machine is back on again on service mode. What making me upset its took me two months to make up my mind to buy a espresso machine and I finnally I choose Breville after viewing the thousand reviews and video but sadly machine even didn't last a day.

1st replacement with similar problems
I had to replace my first machine due to it shutting off mid cycle, especially in the steaming phase. When I say "shutting off" I mean black screen as if power was cut. The replacement machine hasn't "shut off" mid cycle but it consistently shuts off once the steamer reaches 140 degrees. I have mine set to 160 degrees on oat milk setting, but it consistently shuts off at 140 degrees.
