Pros

  • Cheapest entry into the Vertuo line at $129, and frequently discounted under $100
  • Tiny footprint fits dorms, offices, and cramped counters
  • Barcode scanning auto-sets brew parameters for every capsule size from espresso to 12 oz
  • WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity keeps brewing firmware updated automatically

Cons

  • Uses centrifugal spinning, not 19-bar pump pressure - crema is frothy rather than true espresso
  • Small 25.4 oz water tank needs refilling constantly if you brew for two
  • Locked into pricier Vertuo capsules with no third-party alternatives
  • Brews slightly cooler than larger Vertuo models and runs loud at around 70 dB
