    Overview

    1:22
    The Breville Bambino Plus is a compact though capable espresso machine. It doesn’t let its size get in the way of producing a quality cup of coffee that tastes like what you would order at your favourite cafe.

    Grind your beans into the 54mm portafilter, designed to hold 19 grams of ground coffee. This dosage is key to brewing balanced espresso. The machine’s ThermoJet heating system means heat-up takes a speedy three seconds. The automatic steam wand will texture milk for smooth, creamy results, allowing you to show off your latte art skills. Switching from espresso extraction to steaming milk is instantaneous, so you don’t have to wait around.

    Size is no impediment to quality espresso with the Breville Bambino Plus, a great coffee solution for those short on benchtop space.
    Compact design

    This machine’s economical footprint means it can be integrated into any interior design. You also have more storage options for when you’re not using the machine, but a coffee hiatus sounds somewhat mythical, so you may never get to packing it away.

    Microfoam texturing

    Microfoam is steamed milk that is velvety smooth in texture, ideal for creating latte art. What you want is foam with small, even bubbles (unless you are trying to make a cappuccino). This machine’s 1600-watt element gives you adequate steam to create rosettes, hearts, and more. Microfoam will also enhance the overall flavour of your cup.

    Heats up in three seconds

    This machine heats up and is ready for brewing in just three seconds. You’ll be cupping your espresso in your hands before you can even self-diagnose a case of the Mondays. If you’re making a milk coffee beverage, such as a latte or a cappuccino, switching from brewing to steaming is instantaneous.

    Professional portafilter

    The portafilter is 54mm wide and holds up to 19 grams of ground coffee. These numbers are optimum for producing coffee that tastes like your usual order at the local cafe.

    Excellent
    I was using a Mokka pot and wanted a coffee maker with less hassle, so after much research and watching many demonstration videos and reviews, about a month ago, I decided on the Babmino. I already had a grinder and I as I only drink coffee with milk I went for the Plus version I am extremely pleased with the Bambino Plus. Very easy to use, I love the automated milk steaming although I hope to learn latte art and use the manual steaming option. I use it 5 or 6 times a day and it makes excellent coffee. The only reason that I've not given it 5 stars is the portafilter that it comes with. When making two coffees at the same time into two espresso cups, which is the most common use case for me, it never splits the double shot evenly, channelling, I believe it is called. I have since bought a double spout portafilter which works perfectly.

    Next level coffee
    I bought the Bambino Plus after checking reviews. My key requirements were size, speed, ease of use. And of course the output! I was not disappointed on any count. My coffee is so much smoother now. Even cheaper / older beans taste less cheap and old (I know, but sometimes needs must). The auto frother is great, allowing a bit of tidying up while it does its thing. Good to have everything you need supplied including a jug. Does anyone know what the black rubber disk is for? I don't want to watch videos to find out, which is the format to replace the instructions. I eventually found the instructions on the water container and the frother spanner underneath it but still no wiser on the disc thing. My only real issue is it can be hard getting the portafilter on and off. It's a lightweight machine and can be hard to get a grip to stop the whole machine moving. So, lovely little machine, lovely coffee, get one.

    The most disappointing Breville machine of my life.
    I I purchased the Bambino plus after extensive research. I wasn’t looking for the cheapest machine, I specifically chose this model because I wanted quality espresso and automatic microfoam milk texturing. On paper, it seemed perfect. The espresso and milk performance are excellent. The automatic microfoam is genuinely impressive but the physical machine itself is unbelievably lightweight to the point it feels unstable and unsafe . I could barely install the portafilter without the machine shifting and tipping. There is simply not enough weight or stability in the base for a machine designed to handle pressure, steam, and daily use. Honestly despite performing well technically I seriously regret this machine on day one. I genuinely do not understand why Breville designed the Bambino Plus this way. A slightly heavier chassis would have completely changed the experience. This is the first Breville product I’ve purchased in my life that has genuinely disappointed me. I wish I had chosen one of the heavier Breville models instead. If physical quality, stability, matter to you, I would strongly recommend against this model.
