Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great machine, I love it, really easy to use, looks really good

Whort it what else can I say I making 2-3 cups of coffee every day so yeah buy it.

Excellent machine. Not too big and the same good taste.

This is a very good option for beginners. Like it!!!

Love this machine. It’s used everyday at our house.

I already have a larger breville, returned this one it was very lightweight.

Better than expected, good quality, easy to use. Nice very happy

I love this machine and it makes the best lattes.

I love the expresso shots that I can pull in this machine!

I like it. Simple and to the point. Looks nice too.

It was ok. I would not buy again. It’s hard to twist the top on.

Wished it was less automated. Locking the espresso into the machine is very difficult- too tight and have to push the machine against a wall to not flip it over when locking in the espresso. Makes ok espresso. Wouldn’t spend the is much again on an espresso machine. Feel like it should be much better for the dollar value. Otherwise just buy a cheap one and get what you expect.

Machine wouldn't go into the first use prime cycle. Super bummed about it, had the batista pro Breville and got this one to save counter space. Returning to store. Porta filter was also ridiculously hard to fit into machine not sure why they made it such a tight fit.

It makes good coffee but stopped working within 6 months of purchase. For a product that costs about $500 it is unacceptable and the product support team isn’t very helpful in resolving the issues. I don’t recommend this product.

The low water sensor stopped working. Customer service is not responding.

We are enjoying the delicious espressos, lattes and hot chocolate treats we make with this machine. There is somewhat of a more involved learning curve mostly because the user guidelines aren’t specific in all operations. Overall, a good product.

I have been using this machine for about 8 months. I was annoyed with the automatic "brew counts" that shut the machine down for cleaning but i get it. After cleaning and descaling, the machine has never worked properly again. Shots do not heat to proper temperature, and the milk-frother then required flushing after every use (manual flush/reset) and now the frother doesn't heat or work at all. This machine is a less expensive than many, but it's not cheap. DO NOT BUY - it is not worth the money.

The simplicity is amazing and it's easy to clean/maintain...until it isn't. The shots started becoming very inconsistent (for many seconds longer than originally) which you can fix with manual intervention, which is a pain. The descaling and cleaning notifications cannot be bypassed and are manual + time consuming. Now there is a hose component in the main case that seems to have come loose again so it's leaking out the bottom. It's very frustrating because this unit was not that old.

Looking for a small expresso machine that actually works as described? This Bambino was a perfect solution for me. To be honest, it's almost too small and light when you're trying to insert the portafilter into it, but running some hot water thru the basket before putting it in place solved that problem. It actually does a great job at frothing for lattes, and it's easy to clean to boot. Uses an honest 54mm SS portafilter with pressurized baskets, and with some practice with tamping, does a great job of pulling shots.

Great product and we’re very happy with the purchase. We love it!
