I recently upgraded to the Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Here's why this machine has exceeded my expectations:
Sleek Design: The brushed stainless steel finish gives the Bambino Plus a sleek and modern look that complements any kitchen decor. Its compact size also makes it perfect for smaller spaces without sacrificing performance.
User-Friendly Interface: The Bambino Plus features an intuitive interface with easy-to-use controls, making it ideal for both novice and experienced baristas alike. The buttons and dials are well-placed and responsive, allowing for precise customization of each shot.
Consistent Results: One of the standout features of the Bambino Plus is its ability to consistently deliver high-quality espresso with every brew. The pre-infusion function ensures even extraction, while the automatic steam wand creates velvety microfoam for perfect lattes and cappuccinos every time.
Quick Heat-Up Time: With its innovative ThermoJet heating system, the Bambino Plus reaches optimal brewing temperature in just 3 seconds, allowing me to enjoy my favorite espresso drinks without the wait.
Easy Maintenance: Cleaning and maintenance are a breeze with the Bambino Plus. The steam wand automatically purges after each use, and the removable drip tray and water tank make it easy to keep the machine clean and well-maintained.
Overall, the Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine is a game-changer for beginner espresso enthusiasts. Its combination of sleek design, user-friendly interface, consistent results, quick heat-up time, and easy maintenance make it a standout choice for home baristas. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just starting your espresso journey, I highly recommend the Bambino Plus for an exceptional espresso experience.

Great when you spend extra money
So I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of figuring out what espresso machine I want. Given the limited counter space, the unknown experience of how much I will enjoy this new hobby, I settled on the Bambino Plus.The main reason to choose this over the regular Bambino is the solenoid that releases the remaining water to the drip tray. The auto milk froth feature is also a nice to have, so you can focus on dialing in your espresso without having to learn everything on day one. It’s been a few weeks and I mainly manually froth my milk now, but every now and then the automatic feature comes in very handy.Yes, the drip tray is tiny and I need to empty it out daily, but honestly with all the gunk of milk from the steam wand in there, you really want to clean it daily anyway.If you watch any YouTube review of this machine and the influencer mentions that they don’t know why the water tank is bigger than the one on the basic Bambino: because the steam wand does auto purge and that uses water. To accommodate this, we need a bigger thank. Thanks brain for figuring this out, what others couldn’t.Now my main reason for the low rating: I got two brand new machines and both leaked from the group head seal with the bundled ports filter and group handle. At first I thought it was a defective seal or something, then I found reports online of people experiencing the same issue with three (!) brand new machines.A friend was able to let me use his group handle for a test and no leaks at all. Since I got a third party setup I’m able to pull fantastic shots without any leaks. I just wish I didn’t have to spend another $100 for this and the thing would work out of the box. Big big flaw in Breville’s end.If you think I did something wrong, Google it, there’s plenty of posts on Reddit showing the exact same issue.Anyway, with that setup I’m very happy with the machine but it stinks that it’s broken out of the box. Now let’s find out how long it’ll last.

La Bambino Plus cumple por mucho con su propósito. Entrega una taza bastante correcta, mejor que muchas cafeterías que no son de especialidad. La extracción es buena y la crema es consistente y duradera. La espuma de la leche es bastante buena y sedosa; ahora mismo estoy tratando de aprender arte latte.
La cafetera es sencilla de usar. Seleccionas carga sencilla o doble de expreso y la máquina hace el resto. El espumador se puede usar de forma manual pero la función automática trabaja bastante bien y puedes escoger la temperatura y textura de la leche.
Hay que jugar con la Bambino Plus los primeros días. Tienes que probar distintos tipos de molido hasta obtener el que buscas. Si es muy grueso, la extracción será pobre, aguada y sin crema. Si es demasiado fino entonces el agua no pasará porque la canastilla estará tapada. Con la leche es lo mismo: es importante probar con distintos tipos hasta encontrar la textura que buscas -la recomendación es que sea lo más entera posible y de preferencia esté fría-. Eso sí, la barita espumadora es bastante sensible. Si no la limpias al momento, la leche se seca muy rápido y tapa los orificios, que son realmente pequeños. Cuando notas que ya no espuma bien es momento de limpiarla a profundidad.
La caja incluye varios accesorios de muy buena calidad, desde un portafiltros robusto con cuatro canastillas distintas hasta el tamper y una herramienta para asegurarse que la dosis de café es la correcta. También viene con pastillas de limpieza y descalcificador.
Hasta ahora, el único punto negativo que encuentro es el precio. Aunque yo la encontré con descuento, se trata de cualquier forma de un gasto mayor. Ciertamente hay cafeteras que cuestan cuatro o cinco veces más y esta se encuentra en un rango intermedio de precios. Dependerá de la durabilidad del producto para saber si valió la pena.
