Breville makes some of the best coffee machines in Australia, blending cafe-quality coffee extraction in convenient, easy-to-use machines that take pride of place on a kitchen countertop. As someone who’s used his fair share of coffee machines in recent years, a Breville is truly aspirational.

Yes, Breville espresso machines are expensive, but having used a couple at TechRadar towers, I can confidently vouch for them and believe them to be worth every cent. So when a hefty discount comes along, you best believe I’m going to sit up and take notice.

And that’s exactly what’s happened now, as the Breville Barista Touch Impress — which I consider to be the best coffee machine overall right now — has plummeted AU$500 thanks to our exclusive Breville coupon code.

The TechRadar team of coffee experts has long been impressed with the Barista Touch Impress, and this updated model now features cold extraction, making it pretty much unrivalled for the price.

In our extensive Breville Barista Touch Impress review, we awarded a full five stars, praising its ability to produce delicious espresso shot after delicious espresso shot, and in a way that even complete coffee novices will have no trouble mastering.

Thanks to a handy onboard guide, delivered via a large and clear colour display, you’ll be experimenting with new coffee-based drink recipes before you know it.

If this isn’t your first coffee rodeo, however, then a wide range of manual controls are on hand so that you can easily tailor your cuppa to your personal tastes.

Simply select the drink you want, let the built-in grinder do its business, pull down on the Impress tamper lever and let the machine take care of the rest. Plus, milk-based coffee drinkers will be pleased to know the automatic steam wand does a mighty fine job of foaming all varieties of milk, including non-dairy alternatives.

There’s nothing it can’t do, and now that it’s dropped well below AU$2,000, it's a bonafide bargain if you ask me.

If the Breville Barista Touch Impress isn't the machine for you, then you're still in luck, as Amazon is currently hosting a Breville brand week, with big discounts across a wide range of machines — from more manual-focused models, to drip coffee and beyond. I've listed my highlights below, but be sure to view the full selection at Amazon.
