Web ID: 14629410Newbies and loving it!
We've had this machine about a month and so far really happy. We didn't want a bean to cup machine as we drink decaff and caffeinated coffee swapping frequently throughout the day! This machine is compact, looks great, quick, simple to use (especially the milk frother) and delivers great results with pre ground coffee...maybe a good grinder is our next step. Nice and easy to keep clean too. We're new to the home barista game but loving the difference this machine has made..can't imagine enjoying an instant coffee ever again.

Broke just after warranty…super disappointing considering price tag
Heating element broke not long after the warranty ended. Super disappointing! It was in our caravan so was getting very sporadic use. I would expect a lot more for the price tag. As it’s the heating element that went, it now can’t be used. After looking at reviews it seems to be more common than not. I wouldn’t repurchase because of this.

A great little machine, with high end features
The Bambino Plus is really a wonderful espresso machine. It makes consistently excellent espresso. The time it takes to heat up and switch from espresso to milk streaming is fantastic. I like that it has a PID for a stable brew temperature, and the automatic milk frothing is really something. The quality of the foam it produces is better than anything I could create, but I still have the option of manually streaming. The machine isn’t too big and pairs well with our burr grinder. I wish it were a little heavier, but again, it is compact, so really a none issue. The fit and finish are very nice. Again, an excellent machine. Now, the tamper…. It’s cheap. This machine deserves a higher quality piece.

Great coffee right out of the box
I just got the Bambino Plus. I was making delicious cappuccino quickly and I haven't really even played with it yet to dial in settings. Actually, the first cup that I made was excellent. Works perfectly with my Breville Smart Grinder Pro. The auto steam wand works beautifully and worth the upgrade. I really like the foam!

Worst machine I have ever used
Bought this machine about a year ago. Worked fine for about a month. Sent it out for repair, worked okay but now broken again. Will never buy another Breville machine again. Does not brew, water pours out of the bottom.

a part time job to keep running
with purified water, constant cleaning, descaling cycles and around the clock care you MIGHT be able to get this thing to make you a cup of coffee. or it might schedule itself for another cleaning cycle and refuse... dont throw the manual away you're going to need it to decipher the 10+ different error messages its going to keep throwing at you

Very nice for beginners
This machine is straight forward. Easy to use and clean. Don't expect a full cup of espresso..I hit the 2 cup button and then the 1 cup button and steam the milk twice for more froth. Have a wet napkin ready to wipe the wand when done frothing. To shut the machine, hit the power and steam buttons at the same time. So far, so good.

Espresso Elegance: A Bambino That Means Business
Just when I thought my kitchen couldn’t get any sleeker, the Breville Bambino Plus rolled in like the James Bond of espresso machines—compact, polished, and packing serious firepower. This little marvel heats up in seconds, steams milk like a pro, and pulls espresso shots so smooth and rich they could charm the beans right off a barista. It's as if Breville bottled café magic and wrapped it in brushed stainless steel. I was lucky enough to snag it on sale from Bloomingdale’s, and the shipping was fast and flawless—icing on an already perfect (coffee) cake.
