The Breville Barista Touch Impress is the perfect coffee machine for my needs — and it’s now exceptional value thanks to our exclusive discount

Breville makes some of the best coffee machines in Australia, blending cafe-quality coffee extraction in convenient, easy-to-use machines that take pride of place on a kitchen countertop. As someone who’s used his fair share of coffee machines in recent years, a Breville is truly aspirational.

Yes, Breville espresso machines are expensive, but having used a couple at TechRadar towers, I can confidently vouch for them and believe them to be worth every cent. So when a hefty discount comes along, you best believe I’m going to sit up and take notice.

And that’s exactly what’s happened now, as the Breville Barista Touch Impress — which I consider to be the best coffee machine overall right now — has plummeted AU$500 thanks to our exclusive Breville coupon code.

In our extensive Breville Barista Touch Impress review, we awarded a full five stars, praising its ability to produce delicious espresso shot after delicious espresso shot, and in a way that even complete coffee novices will have no trouble mastering.

Thanks to a handy onboard guide, delivered via a large and clear colour display, you’ll be experimenting with new coffee-based drink recipes before you know it.

If this isn’t your first coffee rodeo, however, then a wide range of manual controls are on hand so that you can easily tailor your cuppa to your personal tastes.

Simply select the drink you want, let the built-in grinder do its business, pull down on the Impress tamper lever and let the machine take care of the rest. Plus, milk-based coffee drinkers will be pleased to know the automatic steam wand does a mighty fine job of foaming all varieties of milk, including non-dairy alternatives.

There’s nothing it can’t do, and now that it’s dropped well below AU$2,000, it’s a bonafide bargain if you ask me.

If the Breville Barista Touch Impress isn’t the machine for you, then you’re still in luck, as Amazon is currently hosting a Breville brand week, with big discounts across a wide range of machines — from more manual-focused models, to drip coffee and beyond. I’ve listed my highlights below, but be sure to view the full selection at Amazon.
