A closer look at the Barista Touch
Choose a drink and make it your own
The touchscreen brings grinding, brewing and milk settings together. Save your preferred recipes for daily use, while keeping control of grind size and manually tamping the coffee.
A familiar routine for the whole household
A touchscreen recipe is a useful starting point, not a substitute for fresh beans and a well-adjusted grind. Dial in the coffee first, then personalize milk temperature and texture to suit each drink.

Dialing in and daily workflow
- Use fresh coffee and begin near the machine’s recommended dose.
- Distribute the grounds evenly and keep the portafilter rim clean before locking in.
- Watch flow and shot time, but make the final decision by taste. Grind finer for a very fast, thin shot and coarser for a choked or overly slow shot.
- Texture milk immediately after extraction when making a milk drink, then purge and wipe the wand.
- Change only one grind, dose, yield, or temperature variable at a time so the result is understandable.
