Tiny machine…big caffeine
I bought the Breville Bambino Plus and apparently I am now the kind of person who says things like grind size and microfoam. This tiny machine makes espresso so good it has ruined every coffee shop within a 10 kilometer radius of my house. The steam wand works like magic and makes milk so fluffy it deserves its own pillow. It heats up in three seconds, which is faster than my brain most mornings.

Good setup for real coffee drinkers at a reasonable price.
I bought the Bambino Plus to be in more control of my coffee making. Along with a Smart Grinder Pro, I can monitor the amount of grinds. Auto milk frothing is excellent. An extra portafilter makes it quicker to produce two breakfast coffees.

Hello Ann, Many thanks for your time and kind words! We truly appreciate your review and wish you many more delicious coffees to enjoy. All the best! Sage Team
Happy with it, do recommend
The tray is too small so you need to empty it often. The machine is lightweight and it makes it hard to lock and unlock the portafilter as it moves a lot. Other than that, great!

I've been cappuchino deprived since we got home from Greece in October. So, after much research I decided on the Breville Bambino Plus and haven't been disappointed!

Great coffee but leaky
This is a smart and compact coffee maker that makes great coffee and the milk frother works well too. The only criticism is that water seems to leak out and under the machine so we have to keep it on a towel. The drip tray is very plastic and insubstantial - the leak seems to happen between where the back of the drip tray should meet the front of the machine.

Brilliant machine, auto steamer is a big plus - a step up from other budget machines in every way
I upgraded from a cheap budget machine that had small issues like leaks, excessive steam, odd noises etc so it's really nice to now have a well built and smooth functioning machine I feel will last many years. Pair it with a decent grinder and you will have great tasting coffee everyday. It's a nice bonus getting 2 free bags of coffee to start out. The auto steamer function is very easy to use and produces results that are more than acceptable once you've got the settings dialled in. I'm okay at steaming milk manually but sometimes I choose to use the auto steamer as I can clean/put stuff away while it steams. The programmable single/double shot options are very useful. I set the single shot button to fill my cup to the brim to heat up the portafilter/cup, then obviously program the double shot for the extraction itself. If you make sure your puck prep is consistent and your choice of coffee is well dialled, I find the programmed shot is normally within 2-3ml. This along with the auto steaming means the work flow is very quick and easy - less than 5 minutes to make coffee. The steam wand will auto purge itself (you should manually do it before steaming also), and the 3-way solenoid valve means there no coffee dripping onto your drip tray. Only negatives I have so far is the machine itself doesn't weigh much so getting the portafilter in/out of the machine requires you to hold the machine down with your spare hand. The drip tray could be bigger. But really these aren't big deals to me just worth a mention. Overall very happy!
