Features

Automatic Barista Steam WandCentrifusion Extraction (No Pump)Barcode Capsule Recognition6 Cup Sizes + Iced ModeStainless Steel 8 oz Milk JugBrushed Stainless Body

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 $700 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
