Machine Overview

The Breville Barista Touch is priced at $1,099.95 and targets beginners with its semi-automatic design. In contrast, the Breville Duo Temp Pro offers a more affordable pricing point of $499.95 while also catering to beginner users. Both machines are produced by the renowned brand Breville, ensuring quality and reliability in their espresso-making capabilities.

Brewing Comparison

When it comes to brewing information, both machines utilize a Thermoblock heating element and share a quick heat-up time of under 5 minutes. The Barista Touch has a water reservoir capacity of 1.9 liters, slightly larger than the Duo Temp Pro's 1.8 liters. Both machines employ a vibration pump and have a 54mm portafilter but differ in their activation method; the Barista Touch uses a touchscreen while the Duo Temp Pro relies on a button activation. Neither machine features a steam boiler capacity, indicating they are designed for ease over complexity.

Features Comparison

In terms of key features, the Barista Touch comes equipped with an integrated grinder and offers pre-infusion capabilities, along with a steam wand that includes a no-burn design. The Duo Temp Pro also provides pre-infusion but lacks an integrated grinder and has a standard steam wand without the no-burn feature. While the Barista Touch has an auto shut-off function for energy efficiency, the Duo Temp Pro does not include this feature. Both machines offer capabilities for hot water dispensing and do not include smart connectivity options.
