Breville - the Bambino Plus Espresso Machine with 15 bars of pressure and Milk Frother - Stainless Steel

We purchased Bambino Plus after comparing with Barista Express/Pro. Deciding factor was footprint and quick start. Fast forward few days, we received Bambino Plus and we were amazed by its performance from tiny package. Water really heats up in 3seconds, and auto frothing is much better than I was expecting. I also tested manual frothing, it works but not best experience as the nozzle locks at awkward angle. So I settled with auto and satisfied so far. We drink few cups of lattes everyday since then and it’s working great. Bambino Plus doesn’t have grinder hence we buy ground coffee but thinking about investing in grinder. Breville’s single wall filters are completely sold out as of writing this review, just in case you are looking for upgrade. Oh BTW there are complaints about difficulty inserting portafilter and that’s true right after you turn system on. Just dispense a cup or two hot water. It somehow opens up receiver side and then easy to insert, also this action cleans up coffee from previous use x)

My wife & mother love it. With quality ingredients it makes quality espresso

Bought this as a gift for my coffee loving wife. Could not have been a better purchase. It's easy to use, though, I would suggest watching a few videos to get it set up. It makes great espresso and with the auto temp, auto foaming steam wand we are making shop quality drinks. I don't really have any other products to compare it to, but I would buy this again.

This is a great machine, takes up little counter space and pulls wonderful shots. The automatic frothing works great and makes multi tasking a breeze. The 3 second warm up also makes it so you can have a fresh latte in 2-3 minutes.

Perfectly compact with the BEST lattes. I love that you can choose how warm to make the milk because I love mine super hot!! The frother works great and it’s all relatively easy to use after reading instructions.

It’s been a lovely road to learn to use this small machine. It’s fast. Frothing is good. Not as difficult s as we though. The kids love each time we try to do some latte art.

All features I liked the larger Breville is compacted into this smaller one. Only thing is I wish there were more than 3 milk temperature setting - not temperature settings - only choice is low, med, high. But makes a great latte.

Small and compact espresso machine that does not eat up too much countertop space. Espresso drips fine, the milk steamer has an auto-stop feature that detects the temperature of the milk once it has completely foamed up. The water tank is large enough to house multiple espresso shots. The only issue was the espresso portafilter was initially incredibly tight to screw on / remove at first , but was able to get it to work after a few tries. A worthy investment if you like home brewed espressos / cappucinos.
