Whats Included
  • Breville the Bambino Plus Espresso Machine with Milk Frother

Q: Will it make a regular cup of coffee, silly question probably ?

A: Just pull a double-shot of expresso and then add 6oz. of steaming water. That makes and Americano and will be the best cup of coffee(IMHO)

Q: Will it come back in stock?

A: Breville should get the Bambino Plus in Brushed Stainless Steel back in stock in late October/early November.

Q: Can this make capuchino, latte, Frappuccino, and what else? Can you get hot water, and how many ounces does this brew, has different brewing ounces?

A: A Frappuccino would require some type of milkshake maker. But, the Bambino Plus can make espresso, froth/heat milk, and provide hot water. That enables you to make most coffee drinks that include one of more of those ingredients, including espressos, cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites, etc. Its water tank holds 64 fl.ozs.

Q: What is different between Breville bambino vs bambino plus?

A: The difference between them are I think these ones: Bambino: More compact and budget-friendly. Simple controls and fewer features. Quick heat-up time compared to the barista but might not have the same level of consistency in milk frothing. Bambino Plus: Offers more advanced features, including automatic milk frothing with a steam wand that has a temperature sensor. Slightly larger, but still compact, steam is bigger. Includes additional settings for milk temperature and texture and pricing changes.

Q: What is the size of portafilter? Standard r either 54 or 58

A: The Bambino Plus uses 54mm accessories.

Q: Does this come with the milk froth metal pitcher and the portafilter?

A: Yes, it does. It comes with the following accessories: 54mm Tamper the Razor™ Precision Dosing Tool 16 fl.oz / 480ml Stainless Steel Milk Jug 1 & 2 Cup Single Wall & Dual Wall Filter Baskets Cleaning Tool Cleaning Disc

Q: Can one brew decafe lattes in this regularly and if so, what kind of pods/cups are used with this machine? Where are they purchased/for what cost? Also, what Is Best Buy’s purchasing guarantee with this item?

A: If decafe beans are used in the Breville® BES500 Bambino™ Plus then the lattes made will be decaf. The BES500 uses 54mm espresso filters and can be purchased directly from Breville®.
