Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent build quality and coffee making capability. Wish the interface (the button controls) was more straightforward as a lot of the functions are "hidden" behind pressing button combos which is less than ideal than having a dedicated control. A pricey upgrade over the regular Bambino but perhaps worth it for the 3 way solenoid (helps dry out the puck). Also has auto milk frother which is good if you don't know how to foam milk (it's not that hard so I could do without this feature).

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.

Holds temps well, can pull multiple shots without any issues. The only thing I wish was better was the waste water bin. Wish it could hold more.

It is a good way to invest, a good way to start a day with my coffe and a great place to by this article, happy and greatful buy this Breville expresso machine in Best buy.

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.

Works great very easy to operate. Get up early to make my husband his espresso

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.

Great machine! Takes a little time to learn but once you figure it out it’s easy! Tastes better than getting coffee out and makes my morning!

It makes great coffee and there are plenty of you tube videos to help even beginners at making espresso pull a great shot.

The best machine under 500 would recommend again it’s very low maintenance

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.

Best affordable beginner's level machine. It will help you learn the art of coffee-making.

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.

Works great just like the bigger machines and nice if you want to use your own grinder.

Quick easy set up and easy to use. Was bought for my husband and son who both use it daily!!

Have it for a few weeks and great investment so far!

Very straightforward, easy to work with. Needs a little bit of adjustments but the end result will please you. Compact, well built.

Excellent, practical and reliable. Even better paired with the Breville grinder.

Great product, best investment. I love it, same coffee but it tastes different and better with the breville bambino don’t hesitate
