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

Asked 1 year ago by Espresso.

• A:Answer 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.
