Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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.

My first Bambino was damage,,. the new one is working very well. The problem was: the coffee pipe got cligged and the milkwasn't heating up.

I have used this for ~2 years, great product. It makes coffee.

Although it took a number of practice cups of espresso before I felt like I was getting the results I wanted, I’m now very pleased with this espresso machine.

I had a SAECO espresso maker for 25 or 30 years. It was solid as a rock. I replaced the pump 3 times and the group head twice, but otherwise it was solid. A beautiful piece of equipment. I was apprehensive of the Bambino because it didn't have the solid feel of the SAECO, and has a lot of electronics. But now that I have it I absolutely love it. It makes much better espresso, so much so its shocking. It doesn't over extract the way the SAECO did. Secondly, and in some ways most important is that its incredibly fast. Its ready to either steam or brew in just a couple of seconds. I can pull expresso and steam milk immediately, back and forth more quickly than I can load coffee into the head! The temperature is correct, and stable. I can't express how much better this is. I didn't steam milk with the old machine, wait for it to heat, steam, then wait for it to cool to brew. This machine is amazing in its ability to steam and brew instantly and accurately. I don't think its going to last 30 years, but its superiority makes up for it.

The bambino is easy tobuse and makes delicious lattes

I kept this for 1 year and so far so good. I am happy with this machine and it always makes an espresso as I expected. I also love its small size to fit to my coffee bar.

Great mini machine! This is my first Breville and works very well. I dropped the tank and it was broken within a few months but Breville took care of it!

Works very well, happy very happy with this purchase

Perfect for office or small places it makes a great coffee!

Pretty good. I don’t think it’s the best espresso maker out there but it makes a pretty decent one. It is a little loud and does sputter the espresso a bit not matter what I do, could be user error as I am new to the espresso maker world. This is definitely way better than the previous brand I tried. And good for my purposes.

It is a perfect starter espresso machine and fits perfectly on the counter without taking up too much space!! As long as you read all the directions it is very user friendly

Compact machine that does what is supossed to. Great esspresso shots out of the pressurized basket,not so friendly on the non pressurized cause it takes extra fine coffee,so make sure you have a very good grinder if you wanna use that basket,steamer wand does wanders,overall i am very impressed with it

This machine is the perfect size if you don’t have a lot of kitchen space. In addition, it’s capable of making quality espresso if you know what you’re doing. This is the perfect machine if you’re looking for a simple espresso experience. I love mine.

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).

Lightning fast espresso. Machine is flawless. I am so glad I purchased the Bambino. It's small enough to fit in my small kitchen.

Hard to use if you don't follow instructions. however, work amazing great coffee.

Machine works ok; a little trickier than I thought to make a good espresso, but better than some of the cheaper machines. One perk not advertised - this machine allows you to program your cup size just the way you like it.

Excellent little machine. Works as expected. Pulls quality shots and comes with everything you need to start off.
