Third-party reviews

What customers like about Breville BNV450TTN1BUC1

  • A 19 bar pump gives the shot its pressure.
  • The automatic milk frother makes milk without a steam wand.
  • Automatic milk circuit cleaning saves a rinse job.
  • The cappuccino program repeats milk drinks the same way each time.
  • The 1.4 L water container means fewer refills.
  • Adjustable cup clearance fits taller and shorter cups.

What customers don't like about Breville BNV450TTN1BUC1

  • No built-in grinder, so you need ground coffee already.
  • No steam wand, so milk comes only from the frother.
  • No latte macchiato program.
  • No display, so you read nothing on the machine.
  • It takes no capsules, so pods are out.

Verdict

A 19 bar pump and an automatic milk frother set the Breville BNV450TTN1BUC1 apart from simpler machines. The frother can also clean its own milk circuit, which saves a fiddly job. A cappuccino program makes the milk side easy to repeat, so a morning milk drink needs little attention. The portafilter works with powdered coffee, and the 1.4 L water container lets you make several cups before refilling. A descaling program handles the limescale, and overheat protection with automatic shutdown keeps it safe. The trade-off is the grinder. There is no built-in grinder, so coffee has to be ground beforehand, and there is no steam wand to do milk by hand. It suits someone who wants milky coffee at home and already has ground coffee on hand.
