The Barista Touch Impress builds on the Barista Touch with the addition of the Impress Puck System, which handles dosing and tamping automatically at a consistent 10kg of pressure with a 7° barista twist. Precision Measurement learns from each grind and tamp outcome and automatically adjusts the next dose to correct any variance, so your extractions stay consistent without manual intervention. Auto MilQ milk texturing now includes calibrated settings for oat, almond, soy, and dairy, adjusting air injection time and temperature for each milk type to produce silky microfoam suitable for latte art. Real-time Barista Guidance walks you through each step from grinding to pouring, and the touchscreen gives you 8 café favourite presets alongside 8 customisable drink settings.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What does Precision Measurement actually do?
Precision Measurement monitors the outcome of each grind and tamp cycle and automatically adjusts the next dose to compensate for any variance. If the previous dose was slightly over or under, the machine corrects itself for the next shot without you needing to manually adjust the grinder. Over time this keeps your extractions consistent even as bean density or grind conditions vary.
How does Auto MilQ handle different milk types?
Auto MilQ has calibrated settings for oat, almond, soy, and dairy milk. Each milk type behaves differently during steaming due to its fat and protein content, so the machine adjusts the air injection time and temperature specifically for the milk you select. This produces more consistent microfoam than a single generic steam setting applied across all milk types.
What is the difference between this and the Barista Touch?
The main additions on the Impress are the Impress Puck System and Precision Measurement, which automate dosing and tamping and self-correct between shots. The Barista Touch requires manual dosing and tamping. Auto MilQ on the Impress also includes milk-specific calibration for oat, almond, soy, and dairy, which the standard Barista Touch does not offer. If consistent dosing and tamping without manual input is a priority, the Impress is the more capable machine.
How many grind settings does it have?
The Barista Touch Impress has 30 grind settings, giving you a wide range to fine-tune your grind size for different beans and your preferred extraction and flavour outcome.
