Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Works well , initial set was difficult but now great coffee.

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

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.

Very good coffee I make now. It's super fast, a coffee in 39 seconds, love it.

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.

Makes excellent shots consistently, easy to use and clean.

Loved it. Having my cup of coffee every morning thanks to this beauty.

Best compact espresso machine perfect fit for small kitchens. With quick heating Breville Bambino delivers consistently high-quality espresso shots.

Have had this espresso machine for a few weeks now. It's been easy to use as someone who just started making espresso. The manual milk frothing is tricky as a beginner to make my latte art, but it still tastes good. Espresso shots are coming out even better than the local coffee shop. Addicting.

I really enjoy this, as a former barista this is everything you need. Only downside is the steam wand takes 5-10 seconds to shut off once turned off. If you have the money, I would definitely get the upgraded version because it can only get better from this. But for the price this is perfect.

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

We needed a new espresso maker--our Cuisinart model bit the dust after only two years. Our daughter recently purchased the Bambino Plus and has been happy with it. Because we don't mind steaming milk manually, and don't mind the stainless steel finish, we ordered the Bambino rather than the Plus--thereby saving $100. We are still getting used to the new machine, but so far, here are the PROS: Compact size Easy to access/fill water reservoir Moveable Steam wand CONS: We still struggle with getting the grind right, despite using fresh beans and a blade grinder. It's a work in progress!

I am saving so much money so the $300 price tag is worth it. This unit was recommended by a former Starbucks barista and it works great! So easy to use as well. Spoil yourself, it's worth it!

Works great, best coffeemaker.....................

Works perfectly. Really liked it. Minimum maintenance.

Love love love this beautiful Coffee maker, easy to use, looks beautiful in the kitchen and WOW does my coffee taste great! Wroth every penny.

I was concerned when I switched from a much larger Breville to a smaller machine that I would loose some quality but since my old machine was almost 10 years old, I feel that the new technology in this revel bambino is exceptional. I noticed it draws a lot of energy when I push shots but the quality of the shots and the texture are really good. The small footprint of the new machine and how fast it’s ready to pull espresso shots. I went with this model because I don’t make a lot of cappuccinos or milk based coffees so for the price point I believe it is spot on. It’s also an easy machine to use.

Good for beginners to espresso making and small counter space

Absolutely love this espresso machine! We got this so I could make my coffees at home and not have to buy them all the time. Its very easy to work and clean.
