    It brews well and looks fantastic. Design also makes it easy to keep clean. Only wish it came with a metal tamper.

    Love this machine! Easy to use, comes with great instructions. It’s compact enough that it doesn’t take up too much room on our counters in our very small kitchen.

    Fairly easy to use with a bit of a learning curve. My next step is to adjust the amount of water in each shot. The milk steamer works really well.

    We were worried because this is more than we've ever spent on an espresso machine; a month in, though, we're very happy with the purchase. It's easy to use and clean, but most importantly it makes delicious lattes.

    I purchased this machine for my husband for Christmas. He uses it everyday and loves it. His favorite feature is how it makes water for my tea so quickly! I personally love how it doesn't take up too much counter space, compared to other espresso machines. We have had zero complaints so far!

    Reliable and durable

    Great coffee and easy for the user to make adjustments and run cleaning cycles. The two buttons for 1 or 2 cups of coffee are programmable and I have the #1 for 1 ounce of pour and the #2 button set for 3 ounces of pour. With a double shot of medium roast coffee the use of 3 ounces of water makes a perfect cup. For steamed milk the machine requires using at least 6 ounces of milk. I never need that amount of steamed milk and so heat the 3 ounces I want in the microwave and then us a battery powered frother with the milk. Works very well and no wasted milk. It took awhile to dial in the grind on my Eureka grinder but no issues with the Bambino other than increasing the amount of water for a double shot which was easy to do and only needed to be changed once.

    This expresso machine is definitely the best one we have ever owned. It is so simple to operate, nothing difficult to explain or understand. Highly recommend

    Love making espresso and lattes with this. Doesn’t take up much space. Saved getting this on sale and can spend more on coffee grinder or puck prep accessories.

    The Bambino makes a decent espresso. The puck does not get dry as with other machines. I called and customer service said the puck will be wet, there’s even a small amount of water on top of the puck after brewing. The milk steamer works great. The espresso isn’t very hot so I do stick it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to heat it up especially for cappuccino or similar drinks.

    Like it but don't love it.

    Like this but don't love it. We have the Bambino Plus but also bought this- The Bambino- so we have a direct comparison between the two. We assumed this would be like the Plus but that you just have to manually froth the milk. but this didn't froth the milk as well and the cappuccino just didn't taste as good.

    Decent, not great

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Works well-ish enough for price point. Not consistent in crema or foam, but sometimes very good. Can splatter. Frothing stick not easy to clean because milk scalds on the side of it and have to scrap off. No dedicated power switch, so have to press two active buttons at once, which often results in one of the features starting. Lightweight, so can tip when trying to get filter bracket on or off. When it works, it's pretty good. But you have to live with some frustration for the price.
