Great start to the espresso journey
After much research covering many models, I settled on the Bambino for my espresso needs. I’ve been very happy with the results and overall quality and performance of the machine. Unless you plan to dive deeper into the manual options of a more expensive home machine, I would highly recommend that you consider the Bambino as your home espresso machine choice.

Great little machine
This is my third Breville espresso machine, but first time with the smaller Bambino. First off, if you do not have a quality conical burr grinder, and have the space and cash for the full size machine, I would recommend it. The weight of it, as well as the dial for steam are awesome. Also grinding the proper dose straight into the wand is so easy. BUT. I chose this for the price, small footprint and I already own an awesome grinder. Be careful with the water tank. Do not remove it if possible because it is fragile plastic in my opinion. Just fill from the top. Also make sure to check the water level before using so not to burn the pump. The machine is overall lightweight, so dont overpack grinds or you will have to hold down the machine to get the wand in place. I haven't been forced to deacale yet, but I hear that can be an untimely issue for some.

Great little machine
Have used this for several months and it works flawlessly. It's nice it comes with both single and double wall portafilters. The automatic settings are programmable but I use a scale and time my own shots. Steam wand produces perfect milk for latte art. Takes up very little counter space. Much better results than with the cheap machines my spouse bought in the past that were aggravating to use and had to be constantly replaced. This turned out to be the perfect gift.

Great features
I bought this almost 3 months ago and it’s great!! No more Starbucks for me, I’ve already saved so much money and I can do everything with this machine as I could with more expensive ones I’d highly recommend buying one and get a good grinder you won’t be disappointed I sure wasn’t. I’m new to making espresso so it’s the perfect machine for me so I can learn before buying a more expensive machine. As i said it’s been 3 months and I’ve still to learn more with this machine

Super quick espresso and high quality!
I received the Bambino as a wedding gift and it is a major upgrade from our previous espresso machine! It's quick to pull high quality shots of espresso and does a great job at steaming and frothing milk.

Great manual machine for a "refined beginner?"
We bought this machine for our boat. It is fairly easy to learn how to pull a nice espresso which is such a wonderful treat while on anchor and nothing available ashore.

Small, powerful home machine
After an eternity of analysis paralysis, I bought the Bambino, and I couldn’t be happier.
Right out of the box, this machine will pull a decent shot with ground coffee and the pressurized basket. Paired with a quality grinder and you get cafe quality at stay at home prices. Once dialed in the consistency is great and reprogramming the buttons makes repeatability easy. When company wants coffee it will pull shots and steam milk (yes alternative milk too) to everyone’s preference. I’m extremely happy with this purchase and wish I hadn’t waited so long before buying it.

Great machine 😃😃
I bought this machine about 2 months ago to replace a Delo machine that died after 3 weeks
I couldn't be anymore happy . The Bambino paired with a bottomless porta filter and a breville smart grinder is awesome
The only problem I have is the stock porta filter was dropped and can't be used
And unfortunately the grinder didn't come with the cradle so I'll have to purchase that separately

Best coffee ever
The only regret I have is that I didn't purchase this sooner. Better than Starbucks. I'm so spoiled that I don't know where I will get coffee while on travel. This is one great product.

Completely obsessed
This espresso machine is everything I wanted, it pulls incredible espresso shots and steams the best milk. I can't recommend this product enough, if you already have a nice grinder this is the espresso machine for you! I'm now reliving my barista days every morning at home

Life changing!
My Bambino arrived about a month ago and I love it! I will admit there is a bit of a learning curve with manual espresso machines but it is sooo worth it! There is nothing better than being able to have a cafe style drink at home!

Love!
I bought this a month ago and have absolutely no regrets except I wish I would have bought it sooner. I would frequent coffee shops on a daily basis, and in the past month I’ve only been to the coffee shop twice! Love the free barista kit that was sent with the machine as well.

Perfect choice for a beginner!
Being able to set shot times for singles and doubles is excellent for a starter espresso machine like this. We also love the milk steamer and hot water dispense. We are all in on espresso, cappuccino and latte’s and actually gave away our Keurig, and make hot tea with this machine too! The portafilter that comes with the machine is a very important item as is helps you “cheat” for any poor distribution or channeling issues. So you can also get a naked portafilter and use that in addition to learn and improve skills along the way. One suggestion I have. Get a good and versatile coffee or espresso GRINDER! As you become more advanced and buy more varieties of coffee this is an essential item. Thank you Breville!

Delicious espresso
Shots from this machine taste amazing. The steamer is not the best but it just takes longer to get milk up to temp and the milk does come out nice and velvety. I have zero complaints.

who knew expresso tasted this good?!
I got this for a Christmas present 2023. I am obsessed! I won't drink regular coffee anymore. I knew nothing prior to getting the bambino. Instructions were simple and watched hours of YouTube videos to pull the best shot. Now I get special fresh beans!

Great espresso
I've had this for a month or two. I absolutely love this machine. Super easy maintenance. You've got to learn how to dial in the machine to get the best shots. By this I mean you need to get the correct dose (use the razor tool) and the correct grind size (varies with each bean type). Be sure to get a good tamp, the one it comes with is crap, get a 44mm tamp. Get a scale to measure bean weight and output weight, get a wdt tool to spread out the clumps, get a puck filter, dump box, and tamp rubber pad. I think the single shots are the best. Milk steamer is awesome. Be sure to get a high quality grinder that is made to do espresso. I recommend the encore baratza esp.

Perfection
I am not a stranger to coffee or espresso machines and this little machine is a powerhouse. I have always considered Breville the top of the line for at home specialty drinks and finally decided to get the machine that was on my dream list. The set up was easy and the directions and videos available helped me to dial in my shot. I felt that if you didn’t know anything about coffee or espresso the videos gave enough information to be helpful. I find so much more enjoyment out of my coffee drinks and I love being able to really create an experience rather than just a cuppa joe. The frother gives me excellent microfoam and heats the milk up quickly. I wish I would have invested a long time ago!

Good basic model
I wanted an espresso machine that could 1) make espresso and 2) steam milk. I have a coffee grinder and I used to be a barista, so I knew how to do everything myself. So this model had everything I needed. I've had it for a couple weeks but have used it quite a bit as my roommates love the coffee it makes. I haven't had any issues so far, nothing broken and it's easy to use. For any machine with a steam wand, just make sure you have a wet washcloth handy to wipe the wand with immediately after steaming milk because otherwise the milk hardens on. As someone who frequented coffee shops, this was absolutely worth the price for the delicious espresso and steamed milk it makes.

Never had an expresso machine so there is a bit of a learning curve. Instructions are good and easy to understand. I used YouTube a lot! I can’t order fast food coffee anymore and consider it SWILL now that I make my lattes in the morning

Great first espresso machine!
The bambino is a very forgiving and easy to work with first time espresso machine. The small size is especially nice for apartment living!
