This is the first time I've ever operated and owned an espresso machine. So here are my thoughts for a beginner.
This machine is extremely easy to use and very user friendly. The preset milk temperature and froth make it super convenient when you're trying to multitask in the morning. There are no parts you have to put together and the instruction booklet is quite descriptive. The only thing I did not find in the booklet was how to remove the double wall from the portafilter. All I did was google it real fast, the internet is helpful sometimes. There are not a lot of moving parts so the machine isn't too intimidating. I love this Breville machine. Very happy with my purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worked for a year...

I loved making cappuccinos and lattes at home every day, but over the last few months, the bottom of the machine has been leaking every time I make espresso, and now the steamer barely makes any foam and makes louder than usual noises. I don’t know what happened!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome machine

I received this as a gift and have had awesome results! I ended up buying the pro coffee grinder to grind my own coffee fresh. It is awesome! Love the smallness of the machine but produces the best espresso I have had since I was in Europe! It is fast, and well worth the money!
Bambino Plus is a perfect machine for everyday espresso coffee at home. No more visits to the Starbucks and saved money too. The brewing time is amazing and in few min, the espresso will be ready. The maintenance needs a little bit learning curve, but once you have the skills, it will be just a breeze. The automated reminder for cleaning is awesome and it takes only a few min to get the job done. I love this machine and it became part of our life.
I love this thing! For those of us who want great espresso in minimal time, it’s outstanding. Great espresso, great frothed milk (automagically, which is awesome), and all in record time. I’m really glad I made the purchase because its ease, speed, and quality result are exactly what I wanted.
The automatic milk steamer doesn’t make very consistent latte If you grind standard espresso grind the machine won’t build up enough pressure to work
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review and feedback. Unfortunately, there is no one standard espresso grind. It does depend upon the beans. Please don't hesitate to reach out to Breville if we can help guide you in the preparation for your shots. You can send us an email to askus@brevilleusa.com
So easy to use; even easier than you can imagine. I highly recommend the breville smart grinder pro to make a match made in heaven. Going from pods to true espresso is something everyone should experience.
