Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have tried couple of different Espresso makers in the last few months and this is the one i am sticking with. It hits all of my requirements for an Espresso maker: 1: reasonably small amount counterspace req'd 2: ease of use 2: tank capacity 3: a pump that's not too loud/shaking 4: looks good As for dislikes or misses, I would wish it had a cup warmer on top, steamer wand that a bit more flexible to the side. Overall, highly recommend the machine.

My wife was a barista in a former life and she approves. It was easy enough for me to learn to steam milk without using the automatic temperature feature and just using an analog thermometer. Pro tip: when you cannot find the steam tip cleaner tool, it's under the water tank. Be sure to invest in a good grinder to get the right size grind from freshly roasted beans. We've had it almost three months, and it's been worth it for sure. Iced lattes are great in the summer!

I love this little machine! It has so many features that make the experience both intuitive and fun. Yes it is a bit to learn if you’ve never had an espresso machine, but the materials, videos and instructions will teach you everything you need to know quickly. It doesn’t take up much space and comes with everything you need ( except coffee).

Great espresso maker. As a first timer this is user friendly. Makes great drinks. Beware wen it comes to cleaning , make sure you do it. It has fail safes that make the machine not useable great product. One thing i got to add breville customer service is terrible and unprofessional

It worked great for the first 10 cups but then the cups started to flood every time I pulled a shot. I’ve tried to descale and clean everything so I’m sure there is still things I can do. When it did right, the shots tasted great and the milk froth has stayed amazing, I use that for all milk/water. Everything is also easy to clean

This is actually my 2nd one. First one just stopped working just less then a year old. Overall a great easy to use machine. My only real complaint would be that my latte isn't hot enough when done. Quick easy fix is 30 seconds in the microwave.

Works great until it doesnt. And it has issues about every 3 weeks. I hate this machine. I have had other Brevilles, and they have never lasted more than 3 years, but this one, I have had less than a year, and it is crap. Wish I had never bought it.

Size and function, Bravo. Makes very good espresso. Frother gives you the option to do manual or auto. Highly recommended. The only problem is that it leaks during cleaning cycle. Not a deal breaker since you only do it every month, depending on usage.

Very satisfied, I put an end to my Nespresso capsule machine. The automatic frother is great although if you use it with milk below the minimum temperature will be higher than expected. Bought the non pressurized basket, only complain is that it is difficult to get any accessories like the basket or porta filter through Breville, they are rarely on stock.

Very professional, great little espresso and cappuccino machine. You can skip the trip to the coffee bars by purchasing cans of ground espresso or grinding your own. Very solidly built and small enough for a corner of the counter without taking up much room at all.

I ordered from Best Buy online. The site was great with lots of good info. I received the Breville Bambino Plus Expresso in a few days in tip top condition with all the extra parts for usage and the easy to understand manual. I am now an expert Latte maker enjoying them almost every day. Thanks, Best Buy!

Love my espresso machine! Use it every day religiously. It is a little noisy, but the coffee is amazing. Pretty easy daily clean, too, but I haven't had to do a descaling as it's only me that uses it, and you descale after 200 cups or so. It should tell you when it needs it, too.

I bought this machine last October. Pretty expensive but I liked the quality. It did not last a year! Steam button does not work anymore. I did everything manual recommends without returning the machine to work! Very expensive for not even a year of service.

I wanted to get into the world of espresso, but wanted something that would ease me into everything. The Bambino Plus is a great machine that is easy to use and great for beginners. The frother has a sensor so it is also easy to use when you want a latte.

Solid, well made equipment - well designed, works well. The espresso comes out hot; the frother works great - we love it. Quick in-house espresso with restaurant flare and better than some restaurants! Clean up is easy and it doesn’t take up too much space on the counter. Very happy with it.

This machine makes terrific espresso, and I am a long-time home - brewer. Only reason not rated 5 stars is that the filter basket takes a little muscle to both remove and replace when emptying the used coffee. Also, Best Buy's purchase and delivery processes were user-friendly.

Had a different model Breville, but it this one works way better. We really like that my wife and I can set up our shots and use the preset function. It’s quiet and fast. Great flavor using Lavazza Rossa pre-grinder bricks.

I love this coffee maker! I want it for me, to make cappuccinos and lattes and end it up making it for my husband as well, I like that you can adjust the temperature of the steamer and the foam! The water tank it’s pretty big for a small coffee maker. Over all it’s the best coffee maker I’ve had.

The Bambino is an awesome espresso machine for beginners and those who are interested in learning how to make their own espresso drinks. The machine has automated functions, but also gives you the ability to do things manually if you want to learn how to perfect your espresso shots and drinks.

Nice espresso machine delivering great shots. The milk frothing works well too. Quick heating speed things up nicely. Highly recommend. I purchase a separate grinder and it’s been working well and allow me to upgrade later.
