- Breville has launched a new range of Brass Accents kitchen appliances
- The set includes our highest quality espresso machine, the Barista Touch Impress.
- It’s part of a general move away from clinical stainless steel in the kitchen.
Breville has revamped several of its best kitchen appliances for 2025, including our top-rated espresso machine, the Barista Touch Impress. Instead of clinical stainless steel, which has long been the standard color for coffee makers, the Barista Touch Impress is now available with warm-toned metal, combined with soft shades of blue, olive green and off-white.
The Breville Barista Touch Impress has long held the number one spot in our guide to the best espresso machines thanks to its effortless and automated dosing, grinding, tamping and milk frothing, which helps create consistently good coffee. again and again.
“Even for experienced baristas [who] “We’re short on time and space, the compact shape and simplicity of selecting different coffees make the Barista Touch Impress a highly desirable machine,” wrote our reviewer Joel Burgess, who gave the machine a full five stars.
The Brass Accents collection also includes the Breville Toast Select, Smart Oven Air Fryer, and Juice Fountain Cold. The range is now available to purchase directly from Breville and Williams Sonoma in the US.
A natural touch
Breville’s new-look appliances are part of a trend of warm, natural tones that we first saw last year when KitchenAid launched its hugely popular (and somewhat controversial) Design Series Evergreen stand mixer. The machine has a sage green body, brass accents, leaf decals, and a real walnut wood bowl.
Some bakers expressed concern that the bowl (which needs special care to keep it in good condition) was impractical, but Wired writer Kat Merck found that it worked well for everyday baking, even for whipping egg whites and cream.
More recently, KitchenAid announced that its entire range of espresso machines is now available in a subtle cream shade called Porcelain White. The latest coffee maker to get a new look was the KF60 bean coffee machine, which I’ll be reviewing for TechRadar in a few weeks.
