   I returned an expensive espresso maker because I find the Bambino to make better espresso more efficiently. Combine it with a good grinder (ex niche, df54, df64) and you can make high quality espresso. While I didn’t think I’d be using the automated frother I do because I can clean up during milk frothing. I can make an excellent cappuccino in minutes. Tip: get a bottomless portafilter, don’t use the low quality ones that comes with this.

   I purchased an espresso machine for my husband for Father’s Day 2023. During that first year of use we needed to replace parts on it 3 times and have the unit replace. Needless to say we tossed that and moved to Breville. Please don’t waste your time with others. Breville can be pricey but it is an affordable option for a quality espresso machine if you are serious about espresso. We love this machine. The auto frother option is great for me (my husband is the aficionado who takes his a little more seriously and froths using a thermometer). We have not had issues with the steamer clogging like some reviewers stated. We wipe the want down after each use and the spout self cleans after use (we put a small cup under it to allow the water to discharge). I use non-dairy milk (soy and oat) and have not had issues with the heat level of the steaming. The first time the machine told us it needed cleaning we were unsure what was happening. Read the manual folks, it is clearly spelled out lol :). It has a clean me mode and. descaling mode. We use RO water so the machine has not had any buildup. We are very happy with this machine.

   The quality of your coffee is amazing. I would recommend getting one. Brew time is minimal is compacted, very light. 💯 recommend.

   This might be my all time favorite Christmas gift. Our entire family has been using it probably 5-7 times a day since we got it. The learning curve wasn’t difficult at all since everything is pretty automatic. I love that the frother is hands off, a definite perk of the Bambino Plus over the Bambino. It’s easy to clean, it doesn’t take up much counter space, and makes a delicious cup of espresso at a perfect temperature every time. I love it and highly recommend!

   Purchased this Breville Bambino Plus a month ago and I’m really enjoying it. It makes a very good cup of coffee. I haven’t used the steamer function on it as I don’t care much for cappuccino. However, the expresso or americano black turn out quite good. It takes a little while to get the process button down but it’s all a matter of practice. The water feature works really well. As it stands, I am quite pleased with it.

   the machine was working great for the first 2/3 months. then the coffee started coming out very watery. the machine is still under warranty however Breville will make you go on a dozen calls/ video calls before actually taking the machine for repairs. after they did take into repair and sent it back, the machine stopped working again and then instead of just taking the machine for repairs again, they will send you a new coffee brand to test the machine, then they will send you breville scaling solution, then will send you breville cleaner solutoin. if you tell them you use not spring water, they will say that’s the issue. if you say you use ILLY ground coffee, they will say that’s the issue. it takes 1-2 hours to do this phone calls, yet the machine doesn’t work. basically the warranty its a hussle, you can’t just mail the machine to them for repair unless you go through processes of videocalls, getting them on the phone, try their products etc. and even after they did repair the machine, it still stopped working. go with another brand, Breville is only good until it stops working

   I love this machine— super fast and easy to clean. The one and only complaint is that the drip tray is absurdly small.
