A beginner here. It took very little to get fairly proficient at all the aspects needed to work this machine. It is aesthetically pleasing and a nice compact size for beginners looking to make a couple of espressos a day. The portafilter will be a little bit tight, at first, making it a little difficult to put on and take off. Ours loosened up after a few uses and works great. A tip is to be sure the portafilter is flat and pushed up tight to the machine before you try to put it on. It warms up and brews very quickly and is easy to clean. I do recommend a nice aftermarket tamper as the one this comes with is inconsistent when tamping. I also recommend a dosing funnel and puck screen. With a decent grinder, this is an affordable, easy way to home espresso.

After doing some research, this coffee maker came in on the top five lists. What dream to this was the fact that the water tank inside is made of metal and the entire pathway of water as it’s heated is made out of metal has no plastic. Right out of the box the default settings were easy to use, but I can see where if you don’t read the manual you may have difficulties. There are a ton of accessories for this particular model. I applaud bravo for allowing customization, standardizing in sizes, and frankly the size of it. The quality of the coffee it comes out is outstanding because the machine is fully customizable in both the infusion and the attraction steps. In terms of the value because this was not a multi thousand dollar unit at its price point it meets the needs of our family. Clean up is straight for look in the other espresso machine, however, don’t be fold of thinking that this is one of those fully automated coffee makers that takes away decisions from your ability to customize flavor in profile of your coffee. On the topic of noise level that I saw another reviews, I don’t understand it makes this regular noise level and it is not overly loud. The steaming function for the milk is nice and we were able to steam milk fast to make Matcha tea for my daughter as long as you have a good grinder next to this unit to make a grind of a consistency of your choosing you’ll be able to draw out and make greatest espressos pretty much all the time. If you’re looking to get into artisan espresso techniques, yet with a convenience of a home unit, a reasonable price point, high degree of customization that you can add accessories later, in a great documentation that comes with it and it’s straightforward, and the unit that’s rather intuitive, then this one is the one for you. IMPORTANT: do not forget the step of priming reporter filter with hot water prior to adding grounds to it. The porter filter installs much easier and with less effort if it is warmed up rather than some cold. This is standard and mini espresso makers and is indicative of the tight seal that is made between the porta filter and the unit.

I spent 15 years burning through a series of $150 -$300 dollar espresso makers, a nice used Saeco, a couple DeLonghis) and recently a Delonghi that had a pump failure after three weeks. I was so upset about the DeLonghi failing that I impulsively bought this machine, which with accessories alwas about twice what I wanted to pay after reading reviews that made it clear that in this price range, for the best quality non-automatic machines, it's between this and a Gaggia Classic Pro. I went with the Breville as the reviews indicated it may not be easily hacked, but it works consistently and very well out of the box. Well, now I am kicking myself for not having bought this machine a decade earlier. It produces amazing shots reliably, every time. I use the stock basket, about 19 grams of espresso.grounds, tamp it with moderate pressure, and let the pour run about 14-15 seconds. I use top quality beans from a local roaster and grind to the second most fine setting on my Capresso Infinity grinder. The shots are superb without going down the obsessive espresso geek path of modifying the heater, the pump etc. I can't say anything more about that. It heats quickly (5 seconds) and has an auto shutoff, though it's smart to warm the portafilter by running a shot of just water through it, and it's easy enough to shut off with a simultaneous press of the single shot and the milk frother buttons. There are a few key accessories that make it more convenient. A cheap knock box helps unload the portafilter quicker and make it more convenient to pull multiple shots -imoortant if this high quality coffee accidentally turns your spouse and kid into espresso junkies. A magnetic portafilter funnel helps make it easy to get the grounds in, evenly distributed and tamped. A nice little stainless putcher for steaming milk helps with making A+ lattes and cappuccinos. And an open faced basket produces some interesting flavor variations though I have not mastered it well enough to produce consistent excellent taste. You will need to get really good quality beans and should have at least a decent low speed burr grinder to get best results, though foreground beans do alright if they are fresh enough - the Illy brand grounds produce a very nice flavorful shot and the Lavazza beans produce a great, traditional strong Italian type shot but fresh local beans may give a much nicer flavor. I've had it for about two months so far and have pulled at least four or five shots daily between Americanos for my wife and double shots for myself. The taste is great, the shots have a lovely smooth crema, and I am incredibly happy with it. This machine gets criticized as it's not a soulful Italian machine with endless hacking and customization opportunities, it is just a turnkey appliance that makes great espresso with no muss, no fuss. Look, I've owned an MGB and an old Plymouth muscle car, and fussy Italian espresso makers. I loved them and I loved tinkering. But I have a Toyota 4 Runner now that "lacks soul" but it is as reliable as a stone axe, I never worry about it starting when I get in, it's good in all conditions. It doesn't lose its lights in the rain (MGB) and it doesn't have weird features like reverse threaded lug nuts and this oddball relay that fails at weird times leaving me stranded unless I can install the spare (Plymouth). It just works right every dang time. You might be able to find a better machine that takes your espresso shots from a 99 grade to 100 but I doubt it. Once in a while my local roaster - which has won national competitions - pulls off a 100 shot. But usually they are 99's. Using the same beans this Breville is always a 99, no hassles. The only downside is we are drinking more coffee because this machine makes such tasty shots. It has eliminated coffee stops on the way to work and maybe in the long run pays for itself. But the real reason to buy is that life is too short to drink bad coffee. You are going to drink coffee anyhow; you might as well drink coffee that astounds you and puts a smile on your face every morning. Buy once, cry once.

The Wizard says "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain".....the Breville Bambino Plus is indeed from the "Twilight Zone" with a mind of its own. I really wanted to love this given all the YouTube raves and other reviews etc. I love their solid juicer so I thought I would give this a go. Maybe I received a repackaged or defective one but it is nothing but a TOY...it's a way overpriced lightweight, plastic espresso/cappuccino machine that you actually have to "hug" in order to place the portafilter on due to the lightweight of the Bambino Plus. The shallow tray is the biggest joke....the tamper and portafilter will have to be upgraded if you decide to deal with this at all. My 10+ year old Saeco SIN015 is on its last legs but it is a steel tank compared to this. Right out of the box when plugged in, H2O unit full and sitting in place, the lights do not blink/illuminate as they are supposed to when first plugged in. Tried a few times, nothing. Pulled the plug out to reset etc. When it decides to "work" after pressing the SINGLE button it does NOT turn off ....it just keeps pumping water out. Maybe it actually was a used unit and was going through the cleaning cycle. Not a good start. I had to unplug it before it flooded my counter. Other reviewers have said the same. How absurd. At my age I really don't need the aggravation for an espresso/cappuccino. I will NOT be going down the deep dark expensive rabbit hole just to have some COFFEE in the morning. Because folks, that's all it is, it's just coffee. It should not be that hard to pull a decent shot without being such a pain in the ..... I'll keep my old Saeco, French Press, and Bialetti stovetop Moka pot with Zulay milk frother and enjoy my mornings with minimal hassle. I packed this Bambino Plus up and SENT IT BACK. Do yourself a favor and take the time to read the ONE and TWO star reviews here. I do not have the time to call Breville, send it back for a new one...do the back and forth on the phone for customer service as some here had the patience to do. Call me a stickler but for me If something does not work right out of the box.....something is wrong. I am well aware of the supposed "learning curve" for the Bambino Plus but as per my experience here I do NOT recommend the Breville Bambino Plus. Finally I think you have to spend upwards of $1,000 to get a decent unit as everything today you get what you pay for. This is not it.

I'd been using a Saeco Intelia semi-automatic espresso machine for over a decade when it started going belly up recently. I was ready for a change anyway. I first considered models more similar to the Saeco, but the more I shopped machine after machine with features upon features, the more I realized I wanted to simplify everything and have a more "hands-on" experience with the brewing. I own other Breville products that I'm super happy with, so the Bambino Plus ticked my few boxes, especially at the sale price. It took me about 100 grams of coffee or so before I had my shots "dialed in" as they say. It's a bit of a learning curve but doable in an afternoon of trial and error between your dose, your grinder, and extraction times. Don't be put off, because this process is so worth it for the end product: rich, sweet espresso topped with a thickish layer of deep golden brown crema. I had to ask myself what vile swill I'd been sucking down every morning prior to pulling my own shots! The auto milk frother does a good job in my opinion. I'm not a barista and don't know or care much about microfoam blah blah blah, but I do appreciate that I can fill my little pitcher with milk, set heat and foam at 3 different levels, press a button, and my latte is ready about a minute later. The frothing wand is really easy to clean, but be aware of its auto-purge function after foaming your milk. I suggest emptying the pitcher into your drink first, then placing the wand back into it before lowering the wand, which triggers the auto-purge function. Your pitcher will contain the residual milk, steam, and hot water that will be shooting out for about 10 seconds. This will save you from having to wipe the splatter off of everything. You're welcome LOL I love this machine and have zero buyer's remorse. I hope it lasts for many years.

The Bambino indeed has a super-fast startup time for both making espresso and steaming milk. A machine that starts up quickly is much less harmful for the environment than one that you need to leave powered up over night, which most of the higher-end machines do. While the Bambino does start up in 3 seconds, the instructions specify that run a single-cup cycle without the filter before actually starting to make your first shot. This is not going to slow you down if you start up your machine and hit the single shot button before grinding your beans, and the Bambino will be ready before you've finished tamping. I love the materials and the ease with which the base slides off for cleaning and back on again. It's got a deep tray for water so I haven't had any spills carrying it over to my sink. However, you should know before you buy that: (1) There's a good deal of necessary friction to overcome as the filter needs to lock in tight to be sealed under pressure, and the machine is so light that it will slide around your counter before accepting the filter. There's no handle to grab, so the only way I've been able to make this work is by wrapping my arms around the whole (fortunately small) machine. Don't welcome a Bambino into your home unless you're prepared to give it two bear hugs for every espresso you drink. (It gets easier--see update below. A commenter suggested using olive oil as a lubricant, which seems sensible since water boils at 100C and olive oil doesn't burn until ~190C.) (2) When the steamer self-cleans the tip of the wand, the initial spray often hits the edges of the hole it's supposed to land in. That initial spray contains milk that is being cleared, and the milk splatters. You'll need to keep the towel you used to clean the wand handy to play defense, and prepare to clean up splatter that you miss. Hopefully in v2 the hole will be slightly bigger and the alignment more precise. (Aside from this, the self cleaning function is great.) (3) The minimum amount of milk required to steam (the min line in the included steel milk jug) is a bit more than will fit in an 8oz mug, especially on the frothiest mode. Fortunately, I've not had any problems after filling a bit below the min line. I'd definitely buy this again as all the flaws are manageable and I love the quality of the espresso it creates, the ease with which it does it, the ease of cleaning, and the petite size. Having originally eyed the Barista Express, I have no regrets about getting a smaller machine that's easier to clean and starts up more quickly. If my grinder breaks, I can replace it without replacing my espresso maker, and vice versa. I also have no regrets about not getting a double boiler, as having two fast sequential steps (espresso and steam) is just as good as two slower parallel ones. If really I wanted to make multiple espressos faster, I'd get another filter unit so that I can grind one cup while another is brewing. - - - - - Update April 21 2020 After a few months the group head started locking in with less friction (but still makes a good seal), and so the bear hugs are now optional. I recently had the chance to compare the Bambino with the Barista Express, which I bought as a gift for friends I stayed with for a week. The Barista Express is a more impressive looking machine, also worked beautifully, and when offered for less than the Bambino as it was in January, it might be a better value. The one feature I missed was the automated milk steaming on the Bambino. With the Bambino, I can start milk frothing and move to another task, but steaming is a strictly manual operation on the Express. While the Bambino has a manual option, if I wanted to steam manually, I confess that if I were steaming manually each morning, I'd much prefer the more spacious Express which provides a more ergonomic experience if steaming manually is important to you. The Bambino's automatic steaming does a great job, so manual vs. automatic may simply be a matter of preference. Only after a year into ownership did I re-read the part of the manual that mentioned tool for cleaning the four holes in the steam wand, hidden under the water tank. It's beautiful industrial design to embed useful but rarely-needed tools where nobody has to see them, but Breville was a little too successful in hiding from. Don't miss it. I had been using a needle from a sewing kit. When using the two-shot mode to make two small lattes, I found it helpful to have a 600ml (20oz) steaming pitcher so that I can steam enough milk for both. For shot glasses, I've come to greatly appreciate ones with spouts that help me cleanly pour the espresso shots into cup. I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GL55KSN. I've now descaled a few times. Step 8 in the manual instructs that "once the descale solution has been used up, the descale mode will pause." It will actually pause BEFORE all the descale solution has been used up. I believe you can just toss the remaining liquid left in your tank. After my second descale, the machine started barely producing any espresso during a cycle. I tried another descale, with no luck. Then I tried the instructions under "reset factory espresso volume settings" at the bottom right of page 17 of the manual and everything suddenly worked like new.

I researched a lot of espresso machines before I bought the Bambino plus. What I like most is the fact that it’s not too intimidating, but it is fully functional for my needs. I don’t need anything really fancy and this one is easy to use and appears to be an excellent quality so far. I like that you use a pitcher for frothing and the wand cleans itself after usage. It came with quite a few parts and I’m not sure what to do with those, but I’m hanging onto them in case I figure out what they’re for. I’ve been through several espresso machines over the years and this is by far the best one.

I’m 3 months in and I love the machine. Like you, I read all the reviews because I want the best but don’t want to pay for garbage. For context, I used a fully automatic (competitor brand) unit for years, but downgraded to a manual (same competitor brand) because I grew up with Cuban coffee and it took forever to make 4 shots. If you are upgrading from a manual, this will feel natural. The only thing I have can comment on is the one or two shot settings are based on time not flow, so because us humans can’t get exactly the same amount of grind in the cup every time, I may have to push the buttons once more to top it off. I have changed the timing settings now that I have my grind texture dialed in, and it works perfect. Things I have noticed that many others have complained about; the whole issue with the wand wanting to do a flush, not sure why everyone is making a big deal. Just use the same cup you frothed your milk with to catch the water and it’s a done deal. It does use a lot of water, so if for some reason it stops halfway through a cycle or refuses to make more after you press the button, check the water level, because there is no indication that it’s empty even though it has a float sensor. Also, I chose this brand because the other manual cup only had a single pin hole to make pressure and routinely clogged. This one comes with many cups for both pre-grind or home grind, and the cup has all the holes so clogging won’t be an issue, although if you overstuff the grinds it will have difficulty pumping through and end up purging into the tray. It has heat settings for both steam and brew temperature, and because it is an instant-heat machine, you’ll have consistent brew temps and won’t have hot-then-cold like those with a tank. The auto froth feature works perfect. It recommends purging it right before you steam, and I agree. It’ll push out a bunch of water before it starts to steam. Speaking of brew quality, it’s perfect. I have no complaints on the actual taste. Once you learn how to work the machine and get your grind texture down, you’ll be well on your way to a happy morning. Quality seems fine, it has enough metal where it matters and the trim plastic seems durable enough to last. I love the dark red and chrome design, it goes well with my black and stainless kitchen. If I had any complaints, I wish the pump was a little stronger to be able to push through finer grind without bogging down, but I like my espresso extra thick, so if you’re fine with anything finer than the coarse texture with pre-ground, you’ll be fine. Also, the controls are simple yet intuitive, but like I said I wish it had an indication for an empty tank besides just sitting there staring at me staring at it.
