Customers are saying
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.

3 Stars After 18 Mos
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 18 months ours leaks water somewhere between the machine and water tray when it releases water after a shot. Very disappointing, not sure if it can be fixed or entirely replaced. Nothing seems to be made to last anymore so I’m particularly disappointed that our Breville didn’t. We each made coffee so probably 3-4 cycles a day (1600-2100 uses in 18 mos). For $500 we got our use out of it but it still seems like a waste to toss the whole thing. The only thing that is very poor are the cleaning cycle indicators and controls. I have to look up on YouTube every time to remember how to clean it or what the machine is telling me.

Compensates for my lack of skill
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My coffee grinding skills are horrible. My frothing skills are slightly better. I would love to improve and be more accurate but I just don't have the time. This espresso machine sounded great for me. We previously had a Hamilton Beach machine that obviously wasn't any good... but it made espresso so it served its purpose until it recently died. First, the auto-frothing is AMAZING to me. My wife likes her milk lava-hot but I prefer not to burn my tongue off. The settings on the frother are super easy to acheive either result. Same for the froth amount. One problem here is that sometimes I want to use a milk subsititute and it throws off the calculation for temperature and time. It still works, you just need to experiment for the milk. The auto cleaning feature is also awesome. Part of why my old machine broke is because I was lazy and would clean it (I've changed my ways I promise!). The auto purging feature after steaming milk is awesome buuuuuttt... a little messy too. It the waste tray isn't seated right, you'll get milky water everywhere. Speaking of the tray, it fills pretty quick. But there's a little red floater that tells you when its full - that's also really nice. As for espresso itself, the portafilter comes with pressurized baskets which I am a huge fan of because, as I said, I can't get consistently ground coffee. The unit heats up FAST. Like CRAZY fast. Espresso comes out pretty tasty with good crema. The one thing here, and I'll echo others, is that getting the filter on is pretty tough on the first brew. Wetting the filter a bit or running an empty shot usually helps. It's not a *huge* deal, personally. I really love my machine. It is easy and fast to make espresso drinks. I don't have to be highly skilled but I think it also allows people to experiment and learn. So, great for beginners who like good espresso, in my opinion.

Broken in a month
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine worked great…when it worked. 5 weeks after buying the machine it completely stopped functioning. Lights didn’t turn on, no resetting helped, just totally broken. Now 2 weeks after sending it to Breville for warranty repair I STILL don’t have a machine. So not only did it almost immediately break, there is no manufacturer support and after hours on the phone my 500 dollar machine is still missing from my counter.
