    Waste of $300! This machine produces the smallest amount of espresso I’ve ever seen and that’s even with the 2 cups option selected.

    The espresso machine worked great for about six days. I was done dialing in my espresso and the boiler quite working. Attempted to reset the espresso boiler from the FAQ on the Breville website and nothing worked. Returned the espresso machine.

    An expensive, poor quality expresso maker. The water spout stopped working after 3 months. Water leaks out from the bottom of the coffee maker instead of spout. Very disappointed

    My breville bambino did not work as expected, I had 3 espresso shots continuously without stopping and the double espresso shot button did not work. I had to return it, I had very bad experience with this device. Now I bought a gaggia classic pro machine and I’m ver happy with the high quality of this machine.

    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!

    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.
