Customer Ratings & Reviews

Cannot recommend purchasing the Bambino! Cleaned and followed all instructions but the little Bambino was not up to the task. Expresso was bitter, not hot, and just overall disappointing. Called the Breville help line and tested the temperature as directed by the technician. Was informed 170 degrees was within the acceptable range for the liquid coming out at the top. By the time it was in the cup (cup was at room temperature) it was down to 156. Really wanted to like this compact footprint machine but it just didn’t work for us.

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!

Great espresso, small footprint, easy to operate, only downside is small format results in minor difficulty locking in porta filter

Tired of spending money at those coffee shops?? I was! Working from home with this made life easier. I have all the ingredients to vary with taste. This machine will make you feel like a “seasoned barista” in no time! Very easy to use right down to the maintenance of cleaning and descaling your machine.

Easy to make lattes and cappuccinos. The auto frother saves so much time

I loved the machine until the steamer quit working. This is my second Breville I’ve purchased in a year, and both had the same issue

This machine is so easy to use. I get a perfect cappuccino. And easy to clean.

A great espresso machine, but when I received my order from Best Buy, it became obvious that it had been previously used. The items were wet, the steaming pitcher box was wilted due to the water. I noticed a tiny bit of coffee in the portafilter. Just a little disappointed.

Great espresso machine. Excellent quality, use every day I absolutely love it

A little too light weight but so cute and easy to use, even for beginners!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
