Pros and cons
According to our semi-automatic espresso machine expert
- Via the touchscreen display, you can adjust the coffee specialties exactly to your liking.
- With the built-in tamper, you press the ground coffee evenly for an even result.
- You froth the milk more easily than with other piston machines, since the steam wand does it automatically.
- Without built-in manometer, you can't see how much pressure you use for the espresso and can't adjust the preparation to it.

Piston machine that helps you every step of the way
- The touchscreen display walks you through all the steps.
- With the barista course, the device explains all the steps to you for the best result.
- The steam wand automatically froths milk for a cappuccino.
- It makes a lot of noise, so you can't make coffee when someone is still asleep.
Would you like barista worthy coffee, but you don't know much about it or don't want to do too much work? Then I recommend this piston machine. The device has a touchscreen display that walks you through all the steps. In addition, the automatic steam pipe froths milk for you. In fact, you hand over all the work. I did find that the device makes a lot of noise, but that should not spoil the fun.
Make it ready for use I take the device out of the box and I see that all kinds of accessories are included. The bean grinder is integrated in the device. I easily click this on the top. When I turn on the machine, the device immediately goes through all kinds of steps with me. For example, there is an accessory checklist that allows me to see whether everything is included. I also set the time and prepare the device for use. What immediately struck me is that you indicate which type of milk you mainly use. Vegetable milk or cow's milk for example. It adjusts the steam and temperature to this. I am very curious about this.
Touch screen display The device therefore has a touchscreen display. This display goes through all the steps with me. What I really like, for example, is that the machine gives a kind of barista course. He explains all the steps how I make an espresso and froth milk. I find this very useful for those who still have little knowledge of a piston machine.
Pre-programmed coffee recipes Different coffees are shown on the display. This is very unique with piston machines, since you normally determine the proportions per recipe yourself. Here the machine does that for you. This way, you can press a coffee of your choice and the device will start grinding the coffee. This makes quite a noise. I push the coffee myself with the built-in tamper. This is the lever on the left. After this I place the filter holder in the machine and it starts making coffee.
Gives you feedback After I brew an espresso, the piston machine gives me feedback for the best espresso. For example, it remembers the correct dosage, but says that next time less or more ground coffee is needed for the espresso or which grind size is best to use.
Automatic steam pipe The steam wand automatically froths the milk for me. Not many piston machines do that. He asks in advance which type of milk I use. He then adjusts the steam and temperature. There is a thermometer at the bottom that measures the temperature for the best foam. After use, I clean the steam pipe with a cloth.

A solid choice for the average coffee drinker
- Good coffee with relatively little effort
- Milk steams surprisingly well
- All in one solution
- Could have more options for specific settings
In a world where coffee is a daily necessity for many, the Barista Touch Impresse meets at least my expectations and even exceeds them on several fronts. This coffee machine, which promises to provide coffee lovers with the perfect cup, impresses with a number of distinctive advantages, but also has a few areas for improvement.
Advantages:
- Good coffee with relatively little effort: The Barista Touch Impresse is a dream for those who want a quality cup of coffee every morning, but don't necessarily have the time or skill to work as a professional barista. The machine makes it possible to prepare a well-balanced coffee within a few minutes and excels in milk drinks such as flat white and cappuccino.
- Milk steamers surprisingly good: For lovers of cappuccinos, lattes and other milk-based coffee drinks, this machine will certainly surprise you. Steaming milk can be an art in itself, but the Barista Touch Impresse has a system that produces creamy and well-steamed milk with little effort. Each pre-programmed coffee has its own 'type' of milk foam, so you don't have to think about it if you don't want to.
- All in one solution: Perhaps the biggest advantage is the all-in-one design. Whether you want a simple black coffee or a more complex latte macchiato, this machine can handle it all. It simplifies the coffee-making process without sacrificing quality.
Points of improvement:
- More options for specific settings desired: Although the machine excels in ease of use and consistency, it leaves something to be desired when it comes to true deep personalization. For the true coffee aficionado who wants to control every nuance of his or her cup of coffee, the Barista Touch Impresse may feel a bit limited. It would be great to see more refined settings in future versions as is the case with the Oracle touch.
- Espresso requires more attention: While the machine impresses with milk drinks, making a straight espresso requires a little more finesse and attention. Although the result is still above average, I would recommend experimenting and adjusting a bit to get that perfect espresso shot. I personally use WDT to achieve optimal results.
Conclusion: The Barista Touch Impresse is a solid choice for the average coffee drinker looking for quality and convenience in one. It combines efficiency with quality and ensures an excellent coffee experience. While there is some room for improvement, especially for more picky coffee drinkers, overall it delivers an impressive performance.

Great barista!
- Great barista with simple controls
- Delicious coffee
- Automatically measures the amount of coffee
- Unfortunately it was defective and did not adjust automatically
This Sage has exceeded my expectations. I previously had a fully automatic machine because a barista seemed like too much work to me. But I am so happy with this purchase. This is a semi device. Unfortunately, the automatic adjustment did not work correctly, so I often had to pull the lever. After searching the internet, this turned out to be a known fault. Received a new one and it does exactly what it's supposed to do! The coffee is very tasty and the taste remains better than with other machines. The device heats up quickly, it starts up in 3 seconds and coffee making can begin. Once the device has been calibrated, it knows the amount of coffee it needs for a specific recipe. If too little you can grind again and if too much you use the razed to reduce it again. However, this is almost never necessary because the device has calculated it itself. The coffee is tempered with a simple push of the lever. Maintenance is very simple, I rinse after every use. And occasionally your coffee system needs to be cleaned and descaled. The automatic milk frother is a nice addition. All in all, I am very satisfied and wouldn't have it any other way. So in my opinion it is not much more work than other coffee machines
