The Bambino Plus makes a great latte, easy to use, easy to clean. Sometimes it gets clogged and needs a little extra attention. Always seems to need a cleaning on the day you really need a cup of Joe, but for the most part, reliable and the price is great.
I love the Bambino Plus! It suits our needs perfectly! We have a coffee bar in our bedroom in Hawaii so we can enjoy a perfectly made Latte every morning on our lanai without having to go upstairs to the kitchen. It is quick, efficient, and very simple to operate. What more could you want?
I love this machine. So easy to use, the auto-frothing is genius and works every time. Easy to clean but my espresso comes out warm at best. The milk steams hot enough but the espresso comes out warm and I have to stick it in the microwave which kills the crema. I have it on the hottest setting. If you're ok with that then the machine is great.
We love our local Portland OR roasters, but we didn't even realize how great they were until we started having them as espresso. My folks have a different brand of comparable compact espresso machine which is fine, so that's what I was expecting. But this one is so much better. I plan to gloat about it when next they visit.
I genuinely love my bambino plus espresso machine. I am by no means an espresso expert but this machine is designed perfectly for an amateur like me. The restricted basket, the auto milk-steamer, and milk temp monitor make it as easy as pressing a button. The compactness works well in my cozy kitchen as well. Overall, it is a great product by Breville.
