Easy set up and tasty coffee
This is our first bean to cup machine, so was a little daunted to set it up. But...no worries. Read the booklet first, then follow the on screen prompts. Very easy and clear. I used a bit of coffee experimenting to get the setting I liked, but once set up you can save your preferences. Seems easy to clean, and as with all machines you need to perform the maintenance schedules. Again,just follow the screen. I like the look of the machine, not too big. A bit of a noisy grind, but the rest of the making goes quickly and quietly. The superior 'cafe' type coffee makes it all worth while. Even set up my 81yo hubby's favourite, and he can just press and go.

Excellent machine and so easy to use
We have always had a pod machine , several actually, but on seeing my daughters same machine as this we were taken by how easy it was to set up and use especially being able to nominate our own personalised coffee blend ie temperature settings as I like it extra hot where my wife likes in as it comes. Looks good in our kitchen, easy to refill the water tank and overall great to use, especially in being able to try many different coffee blends from various roasters.

Can’t get any better
We had an expensive coffee maker for 4years but my husband complained a flat white bought at a good cafe was better. This machine was recommended to us, wow, coffee heaven!

At a glance
The Breville Barista Touch Impress is a premium manual coffee machine for households that want guided espresso making, automatic milk texturing and both hot and cold drink options. It is especially well suited to beginners who still want room to personalise drinks. Key strengths are the touchscreen workflow, built-in grinder and Cold Brew presets. Its main limitation is that it takes up more bench space than simpler espresso machines.
What it’s great for
- Cafe-Style Coffee at Home
- Hot and Cold Coffee Drinks
- Guided Espresso Making
- Entertaining Guests
- Custom Drink Creation
Where it works best
- Home Kitchen
- Family Household
- Apartment with Adequate Bench Space
- Entertaining Area
Who it’s for
- Beginner Home Barista
- Busy Household
- Coffee Enthusiast
- Entertainer
- Multi-Drink Household
Things to consider
It offers strong guidance and automation, but larger bench footprint and built-in workflow may suit home users more than those wanting a compact machine or fully manual cafe-style control.
Barista experience suitability
Guided home barista experience with a balance of manual espresso involvement and automatic assistance
Ease of cleaning score
8/10 - automatic features, included cleaning tools and removable water tank help, though grinder and milk components still need regular care
Beginner friendliness
9/10 - touchscreen guidance, preset drinks and assisted puck preparation make it approachable for first-time espresso users
Counter space suitability
Medium to large kitchens - best where there is enough bench space for a full-featured espresso machine with grinder
Noise level vs category average
Average - built-in grinder adds typical grinding noise, in line with many bean-to-cup style manual espresso machines
Key benefits
- Touchscreen with Barista Guidance: Step-by-step prompts make it easier for beginners to grind, tamp and brew with more confidence.
- Built-In Grinder: Freshly grinds beans in the machine, helping streamline setup and reduce the need for separate equipment.
- Impress Puck System: Provides feedback during grinding and tamping to help improve puck consistency and reduce guesswork.
- Thermocoil Heating System: The 1700 W system heats quickly, reducing wait time before brewing.
- Cold Brew and Cold Espresso Presets: Expands drink choice beyond hot coffee for users who want chilled cafe-style options at home.
- Auto MilQ Hands-Free Texturing: Automatically textures milk for dairy and alternative milks, making milk drinks easier to prepare.
- 13 Preset Drink Functions: Covers popular favourites such as Flat White, Latte, Cappuccino, Espresso, Long Black and Cold Brew for fast everyday use.
- 2 L Removable Water Tank: Supports making several coffees in a row before needing a refill, which is practical for busy mornings or guests.
Q: How hands-on is the Barista Touch Impress day to day
A: Breville BES881BSS2IAN2 is still a manual espresso machine, but it guides the workflow on the touchscreen and assists with dosing, tamping and milk texturing. It is not a one-touch bean-to-cup machine that handles every step without user input.
Q: Can it make cold coffee without a separate cold brew maker
A: Yes. Breville BES881BSS2IAN2 has Cold Brew, Cold Espresso, Espresso Shakerato and Latte Shakerato presets built in. It still uses the machine's brewing workflow, so you prepare each drink on demand rather than dispensing pre-made cold coffee.
Q: Will this suit a busy household making several coffees in a row
A: Yes. The 2L water tank suits multiple drinks before refilling, and the machine supports both 1 cup and 2 cup extractions. Its quick-heating Thermocoil system also reduces waiting between switching on and brewing the next coffee.
Q: Are alternative milks supported for automatic frothing on this machine
A: Yes. Breville BES881BSS2IAN2 includes alternative milk settings with its hands-free Auto MilQ texturing system. Results can still vary by milk type and brand, so it suits users who want guided frothing rather than full manual steam control.
Q: Does the machine tell you when cleaning or descaling is due
A: Yes. The touchscreen provides guided prompts, which helps with routine tasks such as cleaning and descaling instead of leaving everything to guesswork. It still has grinder, steam wand and puck-prep parts that need regular attention.
Q: Can different people save their own coffee settings here
A: Yes. The machine can create, save and name up to 6 custom drinks, which is useful when different users want their own coffee style ready to recall. If a household needs more than 6 favourites, some drinks will need to share a preset.
