Pros
- ✓Only Vertuo machine with a true steam wand - silky microfoam capable of latte art, not bubbly frother milk
- ✓Adjustable milk temperature and froth settings plus an included stainless steel jug
- ✓Big 67.6 oz water tank and 30-second heat-up handle busy mornings without refills
- ✓Premium Breville stainless construction feels far more solid than plastic Vertuo models
Cons
- ✗At $649 it costs as much as a real entry-level espresso setup with a grinder
- ✗Centrifugal spinning, not pump pressure - the coffee is still Vertuo crema, not true espresso
- ✗Mediocre 3.5-star owner rating, with reports of leaks and finicky steam wand sensors
- ✗Locked into pricier Vertuo capsules with no third-party alternatives
