Machine Overview

The Breville Duo Temp Pro is priced at $499.95 and is designed for beginner users, making it an accessible option within the semi-automatic category. In contrast, the Breville Barista Touch Impress is more expensive at $1499.95, yet it also targets beginners, indicating that both machines cater to those new to espresso brewing. The significant price difference suggests that the Barista Touch Impress may offer more advanced features, despite targeting a similar skill level.

Brewing Comparison

Both machines use a button activation method and employ a Thermoblock as their primary heating element. The heat-up time for both models is less than 5 minutes, ensuring that users can start brewing quickly. They feature a Vibration pump type and have a similar portafilter size of 54mm, but the Breville Barista Touch Impress has a slightly larger water reservoir capacity of 1.9 liters compared to the 1.8 liters of the Duo Temp Pro.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Duo Temp Pro does not include automatic shutoff or boiler pressure gauges, but it does have a steam wand and pre-infusion capability. In comparison, the Barista Touch Impress includes automatic shutoff and a boiler pressure gauge, along with an integrated grinder and PID control for better temperature management. Both machines support hot water functions and pre-infusion, but the Barista Touch Impress has more advanced features overall, such as solenoid valves and a greater emphasis on control and convenience with its integrated grinder.
