Both machines are categorized as semi-automatic, but they cater to different skill levels; the Dual Boiler is suited for intermediate users while the Barista Touch Impress is designed for beginners.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Breville Dual Boiler uses a dual boiler system with a heat-up time of 5-15 minutes, and it has a steam boiler capacity of 0.95 liters along with a water reservoir capacity of 2.5 liters. On the other hand, the Breville Barista Touch Impress utilizes a thermoblock heating element, offering a quicker heat-up time of less than 5 minutes, but has a smaller water reservoir capacity of 1.9 liters and lacks a dedicated brew boiler.

Features Comparison

Regarding key features, both machines have an auto shutoff mechanism and a boiler pressure gauge. The Dual Boiler features concurrent brew and steam capabilities, dual PID control, and a shot timer, while the Barista Touch Impress includes an integrated grinder but lacks some advanced features like concurrent brew steam and a shot timer. Both machines have pre-infusion and solenoid valve systems; however, the Dual Boiler includes more comprehensive control options.
