Perfectly textured milk rounds out the full-bodied flavor of exceptional coffee, smoothing out the acidity while enhancing the delicate notes—all while presenting a velvety mouthfeel.

How to automatically texture milk

Perfectly textured milk rounds out the full-bodied flavor of exceptional coffee, smoothing out the acidity while enhancing the delicate notes—all while presenting a velvety mouthfeel. It’s the secret to third wave specialty coffee. You no longer need a barista to create your perfectly textured milk—the Barista Touch™ textures milk to your exact specifications. 
Follow the simple process of using your Barista Touch™ to texture milk. Because it is essential to keep the milk steamer wand clean, we recommend purging the wand before and after each use. Just touch the 'Milk' icon on the touch screen to begin releasing hot steam through the wand. After a few seconds, touch the 'Milk' icon again to stop the flow of steam. Next, fill your milk jug with cold milk and insert the clean steam wand into it. The level of the milk should cover the ring on the steam wand tip. Touch the 'Milk' icon on the screen again to begin the texturing process. 
The machine will continue to steam the milk until it reaches the pre-programmed temperature. Remove the wand, wipe with a clean damp cloth, and add your perfectly textured milk to your coffee. Enjoy!

When you reset to factory defaults, all settings changes you have made will be deleted, including all custom drinks.

The Barista Touch™ gives you the power to create luxurious, third wave specialty coffee in your own home. However, making perfectly extracted espresso or ideally textured milk is not enough. You want to be able to customize your coffee to your specific taste, just like your favorite barista does. We will guide you through how to make these changes.

Cleaning Guides

Perfectly filtered water is essential for enjoying smooth, full-bodied coffee without the bitterness. The Barista Touch™ comes complete with a water filtration system to ensure your coffee is delicious, cup after cup - just remember to change your water filter every 90 days or after using 10.6 gallons of water.

How to replace the water filter 

Your Barista Touch™ will indicate when a descale cycle is needed. This is when the build up of minials in the machine can effect the taste of your coffee. Your Barista Touch™ will guide you through the cycle, but the process for the Barista series works the same, so you can also follow along to see how it's done.

How to perform a descale

To ensure nothing comes between you and the full-bodied flavor of your coffee, we recommend completing a clear water backflush of the system at the end of each brewing session. This removes any coffee oil residue buildup so your machine is always ready to brew another exceptional cup of brew.

How to perform a clear water backflush 

Regular maintenance and cleaning is crucial—and the smart design of the Barista Touch™ makes that easy. Your machine will notify you when a cleaning cycle is needed and we will guide you through it to produce better extractions and prevent a buildup of oils, milk, or grounds with this step-to-step guide.

How to perform a cleaning cycle 

To ensure that every coffee you create tastes its best, you’ll need to properly clean and maintain your machine. One essential step is to periodically rinse your shower screen. Simply follow our easy guide. 

How to clean the shower screen

Cleaning your machine's drip tray regularly will help to ensure you can continue to make the perfect cup of coffee at home. The "Empty Me" indicator on the drip tray will show when it needs cleaning.

How to clean the drip tray

To maintain The Barista Touch™ at peak efficiency so it continues to produce exceptional third wave specialty coffee, it's essential to regularly clean the portafilter and filter basket. Otherwise, coffee residue and espresso oils may build up on the components of your machine. Follow along to see how it's done.

How to clean portafilter and filter basket

Your Barista Touch™ is equipped with a conical burr grinder for superior quality coffee. Keeping the conical burr clean along with the rest of the machine will ensure you are always ready to brew an exceptional cup of coffee. We demonstrate how to thoroughly clean the components of the burr grinder.

Perfectly textured milk elevates excellent coffee to sublime, but it won't happen unless your machine is clean. Learn how to clean the steam wand on the Barista Touch™ and remove occasional blockages so you can always enjoy beautifully textured milk. 

How to clean and unblock the steam wand

Purging the group head at the beginning and end of each brewing session is an essential step toward maintaining your machine; otherwise, coffee bean oils and residue can build up, preventing the smooth, clean functioning of your Barista Touch™. 

Group head purge

To ensure your Barista Touch™ delivers exquisite, third wave specialty coffee every time, it is vital to keep the machine and its parts and accessories clean and free from coffee bean oils and residue buildup. We demonstrate how to perform a filter basket rinse before and after each coffee brewing session.
