Reviewers praise
  • Three-second heat-up via ThermoJet system gets water to temperature almost instantly
  • Automatic milk steaming produces microfoam that rivals manual technique, with adjustable temperature and texture settings
  • Compact footprint fits tight counter spaces while housing a 1.9-liter water tank
Reviewers push back
  • Drip tray is extremely small and requires daily emptying
  • Machine and portafilter need warming with a blank shot before brewing or temperature stability suffers
  • Demands an espresso-capable grinder to unlock its potential; fails with inadequate grinding equipment
Reviewers agree the Bambino Plus delivers legitimate café-quality espresso and milk texture in a remarkably compact package with fast heat-up, though it demands a capable grinder and daily drip-tray emptying.
— best for: Best for beginners wanting café drinks at home who will invest in a proper grinder and prefer automated milk steaming over manual technique.

This is STUNNING in the Aboriginal artwork version, and it is absolutely amazing to buy knowing Breville gives 100% of the profits to supporting First Nations participation in Indigenous foods markets. I absolutely love it so much. And the machine functions so well - my coffee flavours are coming out so strongly that I used to always buy Intense flavour beans but this machine doesn’t need that.
