The best little coffee maker ever!
I’ve only had my Bambino Plus for a couple of weeks but am already in love with it. I reviewed dozens of machines but with limited bench space and the great feedback to date, I went with this one. It is so easy to use and makes a perfect cappuccino every time. The Orthodox coffee I received as a bonus is absolutely heavenly also. Mind you it’s also dangerous as now I want more than one cup!

Turns your spouse into a barista
I bought the Bambino Plus for my husband's birthday. It is our first espresso machine. He was a bit perplexed at first but after watching several YouTube videos, he has turned into quite the barista. I am extremely happy with the bambino plus, especially that it can be programmed and dialed into the coffees we like to use. I originally bought it for it's size as we have limited counter space.

Problem encountered
Leakage during back flush. Obviously a design fault.

Thank you for your review and feedback. If your cleaning disc has a hole in it, there will be leakage during the Clean Cycle. This is completely normal and does not adversely affect the efficacy of the cycle. Should other concerns or questions arise, please feel free to call us at 855.683.3535 or create a case through our website's support hub. We'll be happy to help you from there.
Really Like a lot about this machine, but also dislike some significant issues
Bought this to replace my old, larger Breville espresso infuser that finally died after maybe 10 years. I liked the old machine, but decided to give this Bambino Plus a try since a smaller footprint is nice on my limited counterspace. There ae a lot of things I love about this machine, but some key items are problematic and I'm not sure if I'd buy it again. Pros: Smaller footprint (very compact!) frees up counter space. There is slightly more space between the bottom of the portafilter and the top of the drip tray, which allows me to fit my taller coffee mugs. This allows me to brew directly into a larger mug with room for milk, and not have to brew into a smaller mug and transfer like my old machine. The convenience of the auto milk frothing while I'm running around multitasking in the morning is fantastic, and the machine is much more quiet than I expected. Cons: The biggest is that there is no water filter available for this machine, and it is apparently very sensitive to hard water. My water is what I'd call medium-hard - I don't have a need for a whole house water softener, but I do have filters on my shower heads which tend to get their tiny little spray holes clogged. The European version of this machine has a water filter, why not this one? I spent a ton of time with Breville support trying to figure out why my machine quickly stopped brewing, and apparently I need to descale every 2 or 3 weeks otherwise it just clogs up. And the machine doesn't realize it is getting clogged I guess because the descale warning seems to be set to # of uses vsl level of scale. Never had an issue with my old Breville, but that one had a water filter. The other cons are more minor - the drip tray is ridiculously small, and there is no override for the backflush requirement like there is for the descale requirement (irritating when you're trying to make a couple of cups of coffee in the morning and you have to stop after the first one and backflush). Overall, I do like the machine, the the cons cause me so much frustration that when this one dies I'll probably look at a different one. I'm guessing that will be a while though, considering my last Breville lasted almost 10 years!

Failed 1 week after warranty period
Failed 1 week out of 2 year warranty, all lights flashing and now only good for the bin. Not good enough when paying this much. Worked well but runs too hot for darker roasts with no way to reduce temp of the shot. Steam wand seals were failing with time letting air into the milk when steaming. Drip tray leaked when steam wand purged itself.

Barista/cafe quality coffee at home
Great machine, easy to setup and get started with it. We paired it with the Smart Grinder Pro, which makes for really nice fresh and tasty coffee - cafe quality at home whenever we feel like it.

Customer review from breville.com
Good Machine
Beautiful little machine. Not as easy to use as I thought. You will need to have a grinder to pull good shots, otherwise you will never get a proper shot(or double) form the machine. An issue that seems to be "normal" is that it leaks water out of the drip tray (the result of the pressure maybe?). Not sure why Breville could not fix this, as apparently, it's been happening for years. The milk wand is fantastic. It does the proper job, temperature and foaming-wise. Overall it is a good machine, but far from the "fantastic machine" that you read and watch in reviews. You will need to make hundreds before getting used to the amount of coffee grounds, tampering, type of coffee, etc..
