  • 3 Years Old & Still Perfect!
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
I am writing this review just shy of 3 years after purchasing (purchased Nov. ‘23). This espresso machine has been just wonderful for us! We have had no issues - though do note that we regularly clean the machine. It has been very durable, I mean, we have had it 3 years, making several shots a day! It is pretty quiet, as far as espresso machines go - obviously, it will be loud, but it is not as loud as the big espresso machines at coffee shops. I love the clean look of this machine - it is not bulky, and fits nicely on our counter. We have never had an issue with leaking. The only thing we struggled with was when we had hard water. To deal with this issue, we just used different water so the hard water didn’t clog up the machine. It was very easy to clean the hard water out of when it was built up. Like I said before, we regularly clean the machine, which helps it last longer- as with all things. I would highly recommend this espresso machine to anyone who is just starting out or is on a budget. You will have it for years to come, and be able to enjoy the perfect shot of espresso, every time. ... show more

  • It's a great starter machine (edited: w/bottomless portafilter & IMS 18-22)
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
Well, allow me to say, this is the first machine I have had since the 1980s was it and that one Hoovered. Finally tried a unit, one of the many seemingly all variants of the same 51mm units. I had to send it back because, while very nice at the price point I feel it (and they) are probably best - and aimed at - milk coffee drinks and not actually espresso. Some, seems all similar did, have something the Bambino lacks - more metal. In feel (if there is such a thing) they, or at least mine - felt substantially more robust. It felt actually like better quality. But I couldn't adjust the water and couldn't get enough coffee in the portafilter. Maybe, some other options would fit the 51mm unit. I couldn't confirm it. This unit has a lot of plastic in it including the group head. BUT! It can adjust/learn pump-run time (adjust the water volume indirectly). The temperature is non adjustable. But I don't think water temp (as long as it is very near boiling) is really a variable most home espresso drinkers would benefit from - especially the beginners and novices. With the thermocoil design I understand it has, it heats in like 3 literal seconds. Steam is good (but I drink simple espresso so I am honestly not much help in evaluating that part). The wand has good articulation. I do like that Breville is big enough that plenty of 54mm baskets, portafilters, screens and papers are available - including bottomless. While I do like the unit's function and it has everything I wanted, it does feel cheap for the value proposition. I don't think it will hold up well for the length of time I keep appliances. It might. But, I do worry that the fact it knows how long it has been powered up/plugged in - makes me wonder if Breville embedded a count-down timer to planned obsolescence. I hope not, but the manual is clear in disclosure that it's recording usage data. I added a picture of three pucks/cakes (whatever term you like) within the first 24hours of receipt. The two dark ones were with pre-ground 6 month old (or longer) coffee and the third was with Folgers Classic drip grind. Yes, I do wish the entire Breville line was built on a standard 58mm group head (I do prefer a thinner cake per dose). And I do worry if it has an internal count-down to death timer and if the plastic will hold up. Edit: (added a bottomless portafilter and IMS basket) They -- finally -- came today. While these are aftermarket non-Breville parts, I added a video of a shot. (Replaced that because it was a little dark - new video has a little spurt - welcome to aftermarket bottomless portafilters. It happens sometimes) I don't claim to be an expert since it's been 35, idk 40ish years since I have had an espresso machine. I'm just now re-learning how to do it (or learning this machine); but, since I detest coffee snobs who discourage much more than they impress, I wanted to share. No, I'm sure it's not "perfect" but with this machine you really have potential without having to sell a kidney to pay for it (oops, I hope that doesn't violate 'community standards'. I might add some other still pictures later if anyone cares. Not a knock on the OEM portafilter & basket but I do prefer the aftermarket rimless basket because it is possible to make a larger diameter and thinner puck (ceteris paribus). The coffee in the shot was Lavazza Crema e Aroma which I guess from the "use by" was 3 months old. And, yes I prefer some blend of robusto (anywhere between 1/3rd and 2/3rds). If you would like to try your hand at espresso without variable overload and/or no room to experiment, then this machine is a pretty good starter. Edit 2: I added a picture of the IMS basket (2 pucks). Why? Well, so you could compare to the first picture where the stock Breville rimmed basket was used. Really there are only about 2 point. The stock basket has a rim (grips inside the portafilter great) and because the walls have draft - the pucks pop out easy. The downside is, that same taper that turns loose of the post brew coffee is less forgiving on volume of coffee powder. A light dose is hard to tamp and a large one won't fit or gets up into the shower head they call it. The aftermarket I chose is rimless so it tamps better. Not having a taper/draft-walled, your puck can be thinner for the same dose and there are more holes. So, you get more variables to dial in. The downside is, the pucks will eject in their entirety, you just might need an extra whack. The combo of bottomless & basket seems to be a trade-off. I seem to get more Crema and a rare spurt (see the video). So far, spurts have been rare. It's no defect, just a tamp made by a human. THE REASON I added the aftermarket parts to the review isn't to hurt Breville or over criticise them, no quite the opposite. While a little cheaply built like the plastic group head and more expensive than a 51mm manual espresso machine, being slightly larger portafilter size (I wish it was 58mm) - it heats quickly, is semi automatic and you can always add accessories later if you want. Don't have to, but you can. ... show more

  • Piece of junk- first ordered still a piece of junk-second one ordered
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
After having a bad experience with an expresso machine I purchased on Amazon I decided to buy a more expensive machine from a company that I had seen advertised previously. After receiving the machine I noticed that the the coffee tamper was missing. I also couldn't remove the double cup coffee filter. I followed the instructions provided and after cleaning and initial start up procedure the double cup light wouldn't light up. I tried several things to get the light to come on but nothing worked, desperate for a cup of coffee I pressed the one cup button but nothing except cold water was dispensed. Even after letting the machine sit for 10 minutes I still got nothing but cold water. Against my better judgement I ordered another machine after complaining it was the second machine I ordered from Amazon that didn't work and was told I could keep the piece of junk I initially received because I have better things to do than having to keep returning items. I will write a review on the second machine. UPDATE: Against my better judgement I ordered a replacement after the first fiasco. This machine initially heated water to 135 degrees F, which we all know needs to be around 200 degrees F for proper extraction. After several tries the hottest I got the water was 160 degrees F. Also, it is so hard to get the grounds holder centered properly. it is so tight and hard to get centered. I actually spilled grounds everywhere while trying to get the holder off. I contacted Breville directly this time and they customer service person had me use my phone to watch me brew the coffee and then show him the temperature on my thermometer. I guess he didn't believe me. I was also told the holder is so hard to disconnect because it's new and should "wear down" eventually. On previous reviews others complained how difficult it is to remove the holder. So, I had spent an extraordinarily amount of time fussing with both machines trying to get then to work properly, then wasted more time with customer service. I should have just contacted Amazon again like the first time. Told the rep i was throwing this second one in the garbage like I had the first one, but Breville emailed me to send the second back and once they received it with an invoice and they would send me a replacement. I now wasted time repackaging the machine and emailed Breville back and told them there was no way I would never buy a coffee machine from them -EVER!!!. I have now received 3 defective coffee machines in a row and this usually patient person has just lost his patience. THIRD UPDATE: Going through the reviews I have found a second complaint of the issue in the difficulty of connecting the portafilter to the machine. I could barely turn the portafilter once I pushed it up into the machine, and I weigh 200lbs. I was told by the customer representative that the portafilter "is new and needs to get worn down a little bit." First of all, this was a useless excuse because I should have never had the difficulty I had attaching the filter to the machine as I had. Secondly, the representative should have admitted to this having been an issue and should have immediately offered a replacement. The company has since sent a letter of apology which is appreciated but doesn't diminish what I've been through. This is the 5th day without my morning coffee and I'll have th visit the town's coffee shop, "The Blooming Cup" in Tully which is actually a nice place to enjoy a cup of joe and a pastry ... show more

  • High-quality, compact machine
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
This is a very high-quality compact machine. I love how easy to use it is and how quickly you can make back to back espressos and immediately froth milk. The only issue I had was that my box was missing the tamper and descaling packet. The only way to get that was for me to return the machine and get a new one, which I thought was pretty wasteful so I am just purchasing those on my own. That is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. ... show more

  • Looking for your first espresso machine? Read here!
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
TLDR: Two years, still going strong after almost every day use by two people. It still performs like day one. It is fast, reliable, beginner friendly, and consistently delicious. I’m someone who loves all kinds of coffee, but coffee I buy outside has become both expensive and often disappointing, so I wanted to start making espresso at home. Since I had zero experience in preparing espresso, I was looking for an entry-level machine that was easy to use, reasonably priced without breaking the bank, and not intimidating for a beginner. I was going in between this and another very popular brand. What made me choose this one was the almost instant heat-up time (literally 2-3 seconds), the steam wand without a built-in frother (which gives much more control), and the fact that the machine would not limit me if I wanted to try more advanced techniques as my skills improved. It has been 2 years since we have been using this machine. We make all kinds of espresso-based drinks with it and also use the steam wand for things like hot chocolate. Since buying it, we basically stopped buying coffee outside. If you’re like me (never made espresso before and slightly intimidated) but want to enter this world, this is an excellent, confidence-building choice. And time for some tips for the beginners: First things first, the most important factor for good espresso is using freshly ground coffee. Machines with built-in grinders were very expensive, so I skipped those. I buy freshly ground coffee separately from a subscription based delivery and store it in an airtight bag in the fridge. It works really well for me. Now about operating the machine; it comes with single and double shot baskets, including a pressurized basket for each. These pressurized baskets are extremely beginner-friendly. They have a single hole at the bottom, allowing for higher pressure build up and resulting in a rich crema and flavor, even if your technique isn’t perfect. I highly recommend starting with this basket. Though sometimes that single hole can clog over time. Don’t buy a replacement when it happens!! Just boil it in water with a bit of vinegar for about 40 minutes, and it works like new. Last tip: If you hear a scream while using the milk steamer, you have to pull it out of the milk. It needs to be staying just beneath the surface. This way it will start building froth and you won't be hearing unnecessary noise. In short: compact, fast, reliable, beginner-friendly, and still flexible enough to grow with you as your experience increases. We’re very happy with it. ... show more

  • Excellent Espresso Machine After 2 Years of Use
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
I’ve been using this Breville espresso machine for about two years, and I can honestly say it has been one of my favorite kitchen purchases. It consistently makes great espresso, heats up quickly, and is easy to use once you get familiar with it. I also like the steam wand for making lattes and cappuccinos at home. After two years of regular use, it still works just as well as when I first bought it, which says a lot about its quality. The stainless steel design looks beautiful on my countertop and has held up very well. If you’re looking for a reliable espresso machine for home use, this one has definitely been worth the investment. ... show more

  • Seems like perfectly fine espresso after a month of daily use
Color: Brushed Stainless Steel
I've made and drunk a lot of fine espresso via professional machines from California to Italy over decades, yet I've never owned any type of countertop espresso maker. I can't accept inferior espresso an assumed they were all mediocre at best. I read many reviews and articles on tiny machines and the Bambino consistently rates high so I took a chance. SATISFIED After a month of use I'm satisfied with the results. According to reviews, the power and materials are sufficient to make decent espresso without the warmup time of big machines. It seems to work quite well so far. I like how it's computer controlled to ramp up steam and sustain for specific periods and temperature for optimal extraction from grounds (the amount of time steam is applied can be custom set too in its memory). CLOSE COMPARISON I suspect it's not quite as steamy and high enough pressure to match a massive, multi-thousand dollar coffee bar machine, but it's awfully close. I've used those machines and the difference in taste is negligible here. I can definitely make a satisfactory espresso or americano with the Bambino. Probably if you're a super aficionado or professional manufacturer, you might be spoiled enough to care. Regular folks will likely not notice. STEAMED MILK The steamed milk wand works well. It's about as powerful and simple to steam milk as any large machine. I’ve made fluffier steamed milk on pro machines but the Bambino does a good enough job. HOT WATER I thought I'd use the hot water feature more because I prefer americanos. I never use it though because it's too slow. The water gets hot enough but the stream is so thin that I have to stand there waiting too long. I just use an electric kettle instead. This was one reason I went with the first gen Bambino (the newer version doesn’t have a separate hot water spout). Now I kind of wish I went with the second gen since that seems to be more powerful. SMALL FOOTPRINT I also love how small the Bambino is. It sticks out pretty far but other wise length/width is surprisingly tiny. I can hardly believe how small it is and fits in even the tiniest kitchens. AUTOMATED CLEANING There's a convenient cleaning feature too where you put de-caking powder or vinegar/water in the reservoir and then run the cycle. It takes care of the process and flushing. CUTENESS You gotta love the name Bambino! It's cute and familiar just like the name suggests. It looks great too. It has a satisfying steel coffee machine style that’s both modern and traditional. EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS In short, Breville exceeds expectations with a solid machine utilizing thoughtful and useful design resulting in great coffee in a quick and convenient package. I can make a perfect cup of coffee in about 3 minutes, including a quick grind of beans. It's hard to put a price on that level of convenience and quality. FUTURE DIY
 I notice some people on forums upgrading parts for better performance. Maybe after the warranty expires, I’ll try enhancement since it can use at least a bit more heat and pressure. ... show more
