Customer Ratings & Reviews

Small, clean and powerful. I am loving my bambino.. I have been trying different accessories and finding the correct grind. I appreciate the fast pour and the steam wand to help warm or froth my milk. Would truly recommend.

I've been thoroughly enjoying my Breville espresso machine. The standout features are definitely how quickly it operates and the delicious, high-quality coffee it produces. It's also very straightforward to use. The only minor drawback is the height between the dispenser and the drip tray, which can sometimes lead to splashing with smaller cups. Overall, I highly recommend this machine to anyone seeking a quick, high-quality espresso experience.

Works great and makes amazing espresso. Love how easy it is to use.

Easy to use. Good pressure. Takes less space on countertop. Steam wanna is easy to use and easy to clean.

It is perfect! I love being able to manually steam milk and you can controll the amount of espresso as well by holding down the espresso button. It's a great size small counter spaces. I say its easy to use. But bc i have barista experience

Who needs Starbucks?! This little machine delivers delicious espresso with crema just like your favourite coffee shop. It fits perfectly in my limited counter space and brightens my day! :)

I bought this because I was lazy and wanted espresso quick. Not sure what they do but I can make my espresso from grinding to the tip of my lips in less than 5 minutes

Works excellently - we wanted a simple espresso maker without unneeded extras. The Breville Bambino was the answer and its small size and inexpensive price were clearly benefits.

Amazing home espresso machine for those with limited counter space! Makes great espressos for lattes, even for beginners. Been having so much fun with this machine!

I got it over the barista because I prefer to have the grinder separate. If the grinder breaks I can just replace it. This also takes up less counter space and provides the same performance. Small footprint and pulls good espresso.

Bought as a gift (I own a Breville Barista Express) for my sister. She is just getting into espresso and this is a great entry level machine. She loves how compact it is and it produces pretty good shots. The steam wand is pretty good once you learn how to texture the milk. She still struggles with it but I do too at times. 4 stars as the portafilter feels like a toy compared to the Barista Express. In all honesty, I would rate it 4.5, this might just be me though since I have aftermarket accessories for mine.

The espresso machine works just as described, even as a beginner I’m able to pull good espressos with the default settings, just make sure to get good coffee beans and a decent burr coffee grinder. I’ve adjusted the settings to change the brewing time and it’s been very easy to use. It’s very easy to clean too and it doesn’t require a lot of space on your kitchen counter. I definitely recommend it even if you’re new to the coffee world.

I spent a long time looking over various espresso machines before deciding that simplest is best for my needs, and the Bambino fits that need perfectly. Comparing it to other similar machines the deciding factor was my great experience with other Breville products. They simply work as advertised and in my experience their products are durable. In addition to the Bambino I’ve collected the Electric Wok, Air Fryer, and Citrus Juicer; all have provide years of solid use; three months in so far on the Bambino. Regarding the Bambino, some of the reviews complain about the unit clogging up. I wonder if these reviewers are the same folks that allow sludge built up in their drip coffee machine’s carafe? Making espresso can be messy and routine cleaning is necessary, like after every use! The only automation is the single or double shot button (and you can modify the timing/quantity). The steam wand is manual, is easily controlled, and works exactly as desired. As far as water temperature, an instant read thermometer shows the water temperature is consistently at 200f on the machine I own. The unit has a small footprint so not much counter space is used. I haven’t experienced the difficulties others have mentioned with the filter baskets, in fact, I’ve found you have to be careful when knocking out the puck to not launch the filter basket across the room. Other than coffee the unit is ready to use out of the box. Yes, the tamper is light duty, but adequate, and there is also a frothing cup included. I am using this machine more than anticipated so will have to see how it lasts over the long haul. Right now it’s getting fired up at least twice a day everyday for at least two double shots each session.

Great machine. Well made and easy to use! I have made more espresso with that machine than I did with my previous ones because it's so easy.

I became fed up with yearly replacing my DeLonghi espresso machine due to very bad leaks, despite periodic descaling per the instructions. So, my wife encouraged me to pull the trigger on the Breville Bambino, even though it cost 3 times what the DeLonghi did. My Bambino is too new to know about its longevity. But the espressos I have been making are much better than the DeLonghi, and the cappuccinos are amazing. The steam wand is so much better, and produces such silky microfoam. Also, this machine comes with a very nice pitcher for the steamed milk.I have hopes of even doing latte art, with a bit more practice. i could not be happier. The Bambino comes with 2 single-wall filters, and 2 double-wall filters, which sit inside the portafilter handle. (1 for single shot and 1 for double shot). The instructions say that the double-walled filters are for pre-ground or inferior coffee. But I found that even with excellent, freshly ground coffee (I have a burr grinder at home), my results have been better with the double-walled filters. I just mention this to be helpful. Not as a complaint.

It pulls a really good shot for a machine that's so compact, the steam wand is also great for a machine of this size, and it gets hot leagues quicker than any boiler-based esspresso machine.

This little cappuccino maker is easy to use, easy to clean, and makes an excellent cup of coffee. To cap things off it’s easy on the budget

Its simple, quick, compact, and was the best option for me as i had a standalone breville grinder already. Includes the pressurized and unpressurized portafilters, on both singles and doubles. I tweeked my grinder to give exactly 18 grams for double shot by setting the grinder to 2 shots @ 12.8 seconds between 8 to 15 fine grind, and then put it in this machine that does the rest with one button. I watched a quick youtube of how to froth milk and can now make decent lattes. Its not complicated, truely simple. Just keep in mind after your done to run water on a single shot naked with no puck handle to clear the residue and then the same on the froth wand. I use hot water to remove the milk residue from the wand. Im glad i didnt spend more as i realized i didnt need anything else but this. Hope this helps your journey to the perfect shot. I truely spent too much time researching so take my word and save yourself time to try this out.

Our beloved little espresso maker! It’s been going strong for over a year, pulling shots 10 times a day thanks to the coffee addicts in our household. And every cup? Still smooth, rich, and delicious. Honestly, if it ever breaks, I’d replace it with the exact same one—no questions asked. No kidding, it is one of the best investments I made for our house recently.

Espresso machine is good at first but starts to have trouble in less than a year. The double shot starts to poorly dispense and dribbles a few drops of espresso gets clogged a lot,The Coffee comes out on one side most of the times and is not very hot. Makes weak coffee. This Breville is no different than all other ones we have purchased and returned. It does not froth milk hot enough and I have to do one more cycle to get it hot enough. The frother does not work all the time and have to clean machine again in morning running a water cycle to get it to work. I clean this machine after each use. There is no extra tools to clean this like a needle to get into the holes in porta-filter cleaned well. The porta-filter is plastic as well as metal so it is not that good quality. We bought warranty and need to take this back just like all the others in less than 1 1/2 years. Getting tired of exchanging espresso machines. I wish someone would create one that is consistent.
