What we like about Breville One-Touch CoffeeHouse VCF107

  • Easy to use with straightforward one-touch controls for pre-programmed drinks.
  • Produces hot coffee and well-frothed milk compared to competing models.
  • Versatile compatibility with both ground coffee and E.S.E. coffee pods.
  • Removable milk reservoir can be conveniently stored in the fridge.
  • Compact footprint that saves valuable kitchen countertop space.
  • High-pressure 19-bar pump delivers excellent espresso flavor extraction.

What we don't like about Breville One-Touch CoffeeHouse VCF107

  • Not entirely a 'one-touch' process as it requires manual dosing and tamping.
  • Automatic pre-programmed drink sizes run relatively small or dilute.
  • The milk frothing mechanism can be quite loud and messy during operation.
  • Milk frother component is somewhat fidgety and tedious to clean manually.
  • Heats milk to high temperatures (around 75°C) which may scald the flavor.

Verdict

The Breville One-Touch CoffeeHouse VCF107 is an espresso and automatic milk frothing machine equipped with a 19-bar Italian pump, a 1.4-liter removable water tank, and a 600ml detachable milk reservoir suitable for fridge storage. Operating at 1100–1250W, it features pre-programmed one-touch buttons for single or double shots of espresso, cappuccino, and latte, while maintaining dual compatibility with ground coffee and ESE pods. Main pros include its highly efficient auto-frothing system with adjustable dial settings, separate thermal sensors for stable brewing temperatures, an integrated one-touch cleaning cycle, and a space-saving compact design. However, its primary cons include the lack of a built-in grinder, a reliance on a pressurized portafilter basket that requires manual dosing and tamping, and an inability to natively brew long coffees like americanos without manually altering the extraction strength.
