Customers recognize the Bambino Plus Espresso Machine as a great entry-level option, highlighting its ease of use and the milk frother's ability to make excellent cappuccinos. Its compact size with a large water tank is appreciated, along with its quick heating speed. However, some users find the machine a little too lightweight and mention that the descaling and cleaning notifications cannot be bypassed.

Best espresso machine I've owned. I've owned a few machines but by far this is the easiest and best to use. It has an automatic milk from her that you can adjust the heat and how much froth you get. The brewing is made simple and easy with the 2 presets that are measured in oz which making getting consistent results easy and fast but they are also adjustable for more or less water. Finally it has a system that lets you know when and what type of cleaning the machine needs making this the best beginner and intermediate machine on the market.

I got this as an open box item for significantly less than full retail price. There were some parts missing, but after replacing them with easily available parts, I'm very pleased with this little dynamo. Nice improvement over my venerable Via Venezia.

This is my first at home espresso machine, so I’m no pro. However, I feel it is definitely capable of pulling a good shot once you dial in your method. The auto frothing functions are great, and it is nice that you can turn them off should you want to learn to stream milk manually.
However, there are a few annoying things about this machine - namely the drip tray. It doesn’t slide into place very securely and when the steam wand purges after use it splatters milk and water everywhere. Seems like something that could be easily improved.

High quality machine that I was hoping would be as easy to use as the cheaper versions Ive had like Mr Cafe. It makes quality drinks but requires more time and attention than fully automated espresso makers.

I adore my Bambino plus; have wanted one literally for years, decided to bite the bullet in the recent sales. I’m so glad I did. What people say about the instructions is true, but just read the book. Read the instructions. Took me a couple of hours to get it up and running after cleaning etc (no joke) but worth it.

I have been wanting this espresso machine for awhile. It might be because I’ve been in a routine and I knew my old espresso machine but this one hasn’t quite held up to the hopes I had for it. It is still amazing and looks great and is even better paired with the Breville grinder.

After 6 months of use, I realize I do not want to be a Barista after all. Pretty easy to use, however, I have not been able to get the proportions right to obtain a strong espresso shot, using all the tools and videos and premium coffee, or getting the milk hot and frothy enough. I also have a Philips automatic espresso machine (twice the price - had it since 2020). It also doesn't really hit the spot, but it is a lot easier and more automatic, and while a bit more cleanup, less prep. The Bambino is a pretty little machine and looks nice on my coffee bar area, but it's more work than I wanted.

My daily life begins with a good cup of coffee, thanks to my Breville coffee maker, which helps me prepare the coffee in a few minutes, just like I deserve.
