    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.

    Regretting my life choices.
    This machine gets a star for being compact & fitting on my bench, and a star for the mostly decent coffee shots (although it's very unforgiving with beans and grind size). It loses three stars for its control panel and general design: * no on/off switch. Press any button to turn it on (great, this is achievable in a bleary pre-coffee state; random prodding will produce the desired effect). Ok, how do I turn it off? Maybe it has an automatic timed switch-off.. nope. What? Press and hold single shot + steam buttons? Ah dang it, my under-caffeinated finger slipped and now it's shooting another shot at me (after I've already removed my cup, of course). * forced cleaning cycle after (apparently) 200 shots. I love that it loves being cleaned. I don't love that it gives no warning, and no way of delaying the cleaning while I finish making my cuppa. Even worse when someone else uses the machine first, tips it over 200, I emerge to a blinking machine, and now I'm running late for work as I had to mess about with a clean before making my cup. * the cleaning cycle overfills the drip tray. Yes, I emptied it first. Yes, I put a 2L container under the wand and group head (which seems superfluous as there's a seal in the filter basket so nothing is coming out of that baby). I still ended up with water seeping across the bench like the machine was a small child who was too busy to take itself to the loo. And again, the buttons to start the cycle are ambiguous, and it's unclear when it's finished cleaning. Is this combo of lights its normal state or is it trying to tell me something new? * ooo here's a new combo of flashing lights; what does this mean? What's that, Bambino? You're out of water? Maybe you could have a water warning light next to your "cleaning required" light and your power switch! My elderly Breville machine was amazing, but the Bambino Plus has put me off Breville completely. If I need to get the manual out to decipher basic functions on a benchtop appliance, you've done something wrong. I'm not looking forward to having innocent house guests at Christmas.

    Pretty cool little machine
    So much to like - the automatic milk texturing, auto steam wand rinsing, milk temperature and froth options. Machine is very light and needs to be held when inserting group handle, but overall this is still a plus.
