Breville Barista Touch
Score: 82/100
De'Longhi Dinamica Plus
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Breville Barista Touch (BES880BSS) offers a touchscreen-controlled espresso experience with a 3-second heat-up and automatic milk texturing. Its limited bean hopper capacity and lack of an automatic power timer may inconvenience high-usage scenarios. Best suited for busy home baristas who value speed and convenience.
The De'Longhi Dinamica Plus is a compact super-automatic espresso machine featuring a built-in conical burr grinder and integrated LatteCrema milk system, delivering barista-quality drinks. Its single thermoblock design prevents simultaneous milk-based two-cup brewing and it lacks a warming plate. Ideal for home users with limited kitchen space who value app-driven customization.
