The coffee tastes great. Quality control has slipped. The filter baskets don't fit easily into the portafilter. I have to use a knife or screwdriver to remove filter basket to clean after use. I've used breville for many years and this never happened before.

The machines work flawlessly. From the selection of grinds, to the pre-infusion, to the espresso. I am very satisfied with my purchase and so will you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I now look forward to getting up in the morning just to have my cappuccino
on October 9, 2025

I purchased this appliance six months ago because, while my Gaggia Classic Pro is highly reviewed and considered a great machine, it has a steep learning curve and I never successfully got the results I wanted. The Bambino Plus is a delight to use. Everything is so simple and my wife and I consistently get great Capps and Flat Whites. It did purchase some upgrades. First, I purchased IMS filter baskets of various sizes, only to discover deep ones didn't fit because of the plastic insert in the stock portafilter and to remove the baskets, you had to pry them out with a tool. So I upgraded to a Pesado portafilter. A bit pricey but it holds all my baskets and I can easily remove them with my fingers. I purchased a scale to weigh my beans, already had a good grinder (Baratza Sette 270), a magnetic funnel for the portafilter, bought a distribution tool, a decent tamper, and Breville Knock Box (the grinds go into my garden), I only purchase freshly roasted beans, and store them in one of those cans where you push out the air. I typically use 12 grams and reprogramed the double shot for the volume I want. Making a Capp in the morning takes only minutes, and tastes as good as anything I get at a coffee shop. Remember to wipe your wand after each use. Highly recommend.

I have had my Bambino Plus for a couple of weeks and I love it!!!! I have lattes everyday. The Bambino Plus pretty automated get the coffee grounds in place and press the button and the espresso comes out! What could be better and easier. Same with getting the foam pour the milk in the milk jug, put steam wand in the jug and press the steam button and you can choose how much foam you want. I mean this machine is so easy and gives me excellent latte’s everyday. I would highly recommend the Bambino Plus to anyone wanting latte’s everyday.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great machine but unrelenting emails to review the product

It’s a great little machine. But while most folks would email you once for a review that you can ignore and move on, expect non stop emails from Breville until you submit a review like this.

What a waste of time and coffee, every day
on November 23, 2025
Posted by: Rebecca
We’ve had the Bambino Plus for over a month and the quality of coffee has gone so far downhill to the point that it is a guaranteed frustrating way to start every day. This machine is so high maintenance and after many attempts for each shot, we eventually get a very lackluster shot of espresso at best. We have done a factory reset, changed grind and tamping pressure, and explored every other variable in the manual, but we still cannot draw a proper shot. To say this machine is more trouble than it’s worth is a gross understatement.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
