Buy a good grider $150+. Buy a scale that goes down to a tenth of a gram. Learn about brew rarios and times (grind size). Enjoy the best coffee youve ever tasted. Eventually…

This is our first espresso machine. It is very simple, sets pressure and temperature automatically, so no dials or gauges. It's easy to use, and makes coffee comparable to what we get in restaurants. .

I bought for a friend for her wedding and by the time she set it up , it was past 15days return and she had a leaking water tank . We complained as soon as we found out which was still under the one month anniversary. And Best Buy refused to help us with this and had the audacity to tell us that we are at fault.

A Compact Powerhouse for Coffee Lovers

As a dedicated home barista, I was thrilled to try out the Breville Bambino Espresso Machine, and it has exceeded my expectations. Its compact design is perfect for small kitchen counters, yet it doesn't compromise on performance. The machine heats up incredibly quickly, taking only a few seconds to reach the ideal brewing temperature, which is a significant advantage for busy mornings.
One of the standout features of the Bambino is its automatic steam wand. It delivers barista-quality microfoam that's perfect for latte art. This feature alone sets it apart from other machines in its price range. The consistency of the espresso shots is impressive too, with the machine maintaining a stable temperature and pressure throughout the brewing process.
The simplicity of the Bambino is another plus. It's very user-friendly, with intuitive controls that make it easy for beginners to operate while still offering enough flexibility for more experienced users to experiment with their brews.
However, it's worth noting that the water tank is relatively small, so frequent refills are needed if you're making multiple cups of coffee. Additionally, while the build quality is generally excellent, some parts are plastic, which might concern those looking for an all-metal construction.
In conclusion, the Breville Bambino is an outstanding choice for anyone looking for a compact, efficient, and user-friendly espresso machine. It's ideal for small spaces and offers excellent value for its price, making it a worthy investment for coffee enthusiasts.

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

If you buy coffee every day this is a must have!! it's really easy to set up, use it, and clean it! Definitely watch a lot of videos online of how to use it and about espresso, there are a lot of really important things you need to understand or else this isn't going to go well for you. My tips are purge the water after any use of the steam wand to clean it, just hit the water button and let it run for a few seconds, use dark roast coffee for the most crema (the fluffy tan colored stuff on top, if you see a lot of this then you did it right) pre ground coffee is okay if you buy a nice brand of dark roast and keep it sealed tightly, make sure to use the double walled basket for the best flavor. Buy a knock box for easy clean up of espresso grinds. Game changing. Plant milks work better if you buy the full fat or barista kind, use 2% milk if you drink dairy milk, tamp your espresso properly or else the machine will drip for too short or too long of a time, apply about 20 lbs of pressure but i do 10 because i'm weak and it still works, and my machine came with a frothing cup so you don't need to buy one. I also recommend buying some flavored coffee syrups and sauces. Just watch some videos on how to make everything. It tastes sooooo good. Highly recommend buying this! Most bad reviews i think are from people not knowing basic espresso knowledge like i explained above

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.

Heats up and is ready to go amazingly fast. My Jura broke down and I decided to save some money on a new machine and try this. I'm no expert but it makes espresso good enough for me. Im a little concerned with how much it vibrates while pushing the water through the beans, enough that sometimes my lighter cups will move out of place - might not bode well for longevity. Also wish there was a low water indicator as the way it's facing in my kitchen I don't see the water level in the tank. Not many quibbles otherwise, so far - just hope it lasts!

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.

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.
