Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just began using, so far so good. Typical Breville quality. Has beautiful appearance on countertop.

So far I am enjoying my Bambino! I love it! It is a learning process but I enjoy the experience.

Is the best thing I have ever buy!!! I love it! I regret I didn’t buy it earlier.

Excellent espresso machine. My wife loves it! Highly recommend.

Amazing Expresso Machine and it's also really fast.

It works really well, nice, clean, it’s all you need to never go for an overpriced coffee again!

Just a great buy! Needs to set on high to get coffee a bit warmer

Breville was good. Now it's not. 18 letters remain

I love this machine and it makes the best lattes.

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

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.

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

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.

The first shot of espresso came out with no foam and already I was panicking that this espresso machine would not fill the shoes of my other espresso machine which died on me after many years of use. However, after the second shot of which I learned my lesson that you have to compact the coffee before each use and afterwards the foam was perfect. I am now a very happy customer. Thank you

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
