Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing and I love to use it every day it gives me more energy after making my favorite espresso love it lov.

Compact size but woth proffesional performance. Durable

The directions lose a bit in the translation . Says uses water to flush before first use but does before every use . I use bottled water and this seems to waste water that won’t be used for espresso.

Great coffee. It is a little tricky to get the shot to pull perfectly (i.e. perfect flow, basket fullness, etc.) but the machine is mostly consistent and has made some great coffee the past 2 years.

Excellent espresso machine that is easy to setup, use, and looks great on the counter. Came with everything needed to get started like the frothing pitcher and single wall baskets. The only knock I will give is to Best Buy's outlet. The first package had the parts just thrown in a large box with a single air bag. By the time it got to my house it was damaged to the point of being unusable. The local store was quick to exchange for a brand new one so it all worked out in the end.

This machine has me perfectly satisfied as someone who just likes 'good' coffee and doesn't need 'best in class' at home.

This is the best espresso maker I have ever bought. It's easy to use and the steam wand actually heats the milk. I will say the steam wand is loud.

We thought this would be a good transition from the Nespresso pod machine, and we were right! I like that it's small, and dispenses hot water so we can make other drinks besides and espresso. The frother is attached and is easy to clean, versus the other machine we had (a separate cup). Maybe we'll make a step up in the future, but this little machine does exactly what we need for now.

Best coffee machine. Compact and love the thick expresso

The Breville Bambino works great. Very easy to use.

The Bambino is the right name for this small version of my kitchen barista express that I adore. It is light, makes less-enjoyable espresso drinks and its parts (portafilter, tamper) lack heft. It's adequate for making espresso drinks but lacks the power seen in similar espresso machines by its competitors. The instructions for the portafilter locking mechanism to start your coffee extraction says to just lock it until it catches, but the seal is too loose and drops the entire porta filter in the midst of brewing. When you totally lock the portafilter in place it is so tight that it takes 3 hands to push it back and unlock the seal. I would not purchase it if I had tried it beforehand.

Pulls great shots! Takes time to get grind right, but that’s machine independent. From there it’s just hitting the preprogrammed buttons. Quiet. Consistent. And smaller.

No more starbucks trips (well, maybe sometimes). I can make americanos and capuccinos all day. I have decaf beans for nighttime. Easily one of the best investments I've made because I drink quite a bit of coffee. Make sure you get a good/PRECISE grinder as well (I ended up getting Breville's smart grinder pro). Clean up is pretty easy. Haven't used the steam wand/milk frother.

Works as expected. Gave it as a gift and the recipient loves it.

Excellent product. I have been wanting an espresso machine for some time. This entry level model from Bambino is everything I could want. I eyed the Bambino Plus for a little, but decided the additional features were not necessary for my use. This model does everything I need and got me drinking espresso the next day.

I am obsessed with this. Consistent, quality brews every single time. Adjustable pour length and so far it has not given me any issues despite daily use for over a year

It is a great starter espresso machine. You can use the default settings for pulling one or two shots, but you can also adjust if you wanted to experiment. The steam wand is pretty standard and foams well; I have been able to do decent latte art with several non-dairy milks (nut and oat).

Great little machine for specialty espresso drinks. We have the Breville Barista Express at home (former barista here!) that we love. We now have a travel trailer and wanted a smaller machine. While I miss having the bean grinder and more customizable functions, I am very happy with this for the price and space saving size. Definitely recommend!

I’m tired of buying expensive lattes so I invested in this expresso machine. This machine is incredibly easy to use. I’m a total beginner barista and I love it. Now I can afford lattes every day

Delicous espressos, only issue is the cleaning maintenance. It splatters and gets dirty quickly.
