It's easily one of the best features for the uninitiated or lazy like myself.

Or even the Gaggia Cadorna Prestige which has excellent requires but is a bit more pricey but on sale at Amazon for $1399 which is the lowest it's been on a new unit. Pair that with a Amazon Prime credit card to save an additional 5%.
P/S: the code from ID me was not working for me- so I chated with a rep to get a new code!
It was disappointing at first, but I got it dialed in after many many bad shots. Works a treat now.
TCB sucks as they did not register my purchase. Fie on them.
The Breville is over 10 years old and still going (with some water leakage) and it does a good job and is more forgiving of bean types, but for milk based drinks, the 4300 tastes about the same. I have a routine with the Breville and don't do a lot of tweaking on it, and the consistency is variable because I hand tamp it.
The doser on the 4300 is tiny, so I have to do a double espresso and a latte to get the equivalent coffee I get from the Breville, but convenience is far far better, and again, the taste is about the same.
The Nespresso is just a quick shot espresso drink thing I use at the cabin for utmost convenience.

For my wife and I, the Barista was too much. It was hard to get shots dialed in consistently, and a lot to clean each time. Awesome machine though, and if you want the experience of learning to tamp, adjust grind size, "dialing it in", etc., it's great.
But we stopped using it because it was too much work, especially before you have your coffee in the morning (Catch 22, I know). I've only tried the 3200 out yesterday and today, but the few shots I've pulled tasted good, and it is very easy to use. I still miss the controls and customizability of the Barista Touch, but at the end of the day the goal is just a good cup of coffee, and this does it with ease.
We've been using a Nespresso for years, tried to replace it with the Touch, but went back to it (for the good of the marriage). I'm hoping the 3200 will be our way to get out from under Nestle's incredibly talented (but evil in many ways) coffee-making thumb. And, if I did the math right, save a few bucks, too.
Oh, and I can't speak to the LatteGo attachment, but in my experience, the whisk-spinner frother from Nespresso works better than the two actual steam wands I've tried. And easier to maintain. But obviously I'm not a true latte aficionado, so YMMV.

25% off coupon if anyone wants to get it. I thought about it but since cashback is an uncertainty I'll stick with my Amazon 3200.
