    Dialling the espresso grind can be tricky, but once you do, it makes great espresso! This is the only espresso machine I've ever owned so my experience is limited, but so far, so good! Steam wand makes great foam, it powers on and is ready to brew in seconds (how??) and the compact form factor made it an easy choice for our tiny kitchen.

    It's been 6 months and the machine still works as well as it did when I bought it. Steams milk well, and is intuitive enough. I wish it could steam and pull shots at the same time, but otherwise very happy with this purchase!

    I had my eye on an espresso machine for a few years. I felt really intimidated by the bigger models, and I think this one is a perfect one to start with. I use it pretty much every day, and it is a really good beginner's model of an espresso machine. Beyond the machine itself, I would suggest also buying the puck screen that fits this size (slightly smaller than 54) because it makes a dramatic impact on the quality of the extraction. Those are just a few bucks, and available lots of places. Overall, I'm super stoked about this!

    So far this gets the job done and works for the limited amount of counterspace that I have in my apartment. For those venturing into espresso and milk drinks, this is great compact machine.

    I love my bambino. It makes smooth perfect expresso and it's easy to use and easy to clean. I am not mechanically inclined so ease of use is a required feature. I actually learned to use my son's bambino over Christmas and then came home and bought my own. The expresso is pretty strong so I make a 2 shot and then press the one shot button. It still runs the single shot through the spent grinds.

    This is my second at-home-espresso maker (first Breville) and OMG, what an upgrade. This machine makes delicious espresso. Better than some cafes. I would absolutely recommend this product. Super easy to use! 10/10

    Love it. I drink 2 double shots everyday and so far, a month in I have been loving it. The entire process of building an expresso eco system is so much fun and so much cash :|. This is a string little consistent machine that is working for a newbie like me. Now I am saving up my monies from the unspent cappuccino purchases at Star bucks for that fancy beans grinder. Fun times

    I purchased this for my RV as I had a Barista Express at home, but wanted a smaller unit for the trailer. We recently went on a trip and used this to make expressos for four days for three people. It worked great once I got it dialed in. The size is great as I can move it to a different part of the counter after making the morning coffee drinks. I used the hot water arm to make Americano drinks with a splash of milk and it made great foam on the drinks.

    Quick, high-quality espresso with the Breville

    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.

    This little machine does a very good job of pulling espresso shots and steaming milk and for the money, I believe it’s worth it. I haven’t tried the other brands that are priced less, so can’t compare them. I know that I didn’t want to pay thousands of dollars to make an esport home.

    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.

    Honestly, I am loving this machine. I am by no means skilled, and so this is a perfect starter machine. I upgraded from a basic DeLonghi and it is a world of difference! If you are debating between spending $75 vs $300, just spend the $300. The espresso takes great (for my tastes, I am not an expert by any means) and I love how frothy the milk gets. It is a fast machine and so far I have not had any issues (had it about 2 months).

    Switched from D’Longhi to Breville

    I switched from the D’Longhi (same type of machine) and used this brand for 15+ years. My new Breville tops it! Same aspect and so easy to use. But the actual two shot espresso it delivers surpasses my old Dlonghi! Yummy and so flavorful! If your looking to switch, do it! I went back and forth did my research. You won’t be disappointed!
