The Bambino Plus, made by Breville, is an excellent machine, IF you are willing to master the workflow and variables of the espresso shot! It's handsomely designed, well-engineered, has a good set of controls and setting options, and takes up relatively little counter space. You will need a good coffee grinder as well that provides a range of settings for consistent espresso grounds.

After experimentation, you will be able to make OK espresso with this machine. It cannot match the quality of its less automated siblings with standard (not double wall) filter baskets. It uses a lot of water to clean the steam wand, quickly filling the small drip tray with a water/milk mixture. (This stuff will build-up under the orange indicator float.) Definitely not worth the full retail price.

The Breville Bambino is one of the most enjoyable products I've purchased. It is well made, great espresso, cappuccino, etc. Frothing is super easy and yummy. Working from home it is such a nice treat a couple times throughout the day.

Finally a small brewer that really does the job. excellent espresso and easy clean up. And its nice that everything is included- press, "razor" leveler, frothing pitcher. Its good to go from the minute I unpacked it.

Bought this for my daughter’s 21st birthday at my son’s suggestion. He bought a larger model of this brand and loves his. My daughter loves hers.
