Good when handled with care. Can be improved.
My old other brand machine died, so I bought this Bambino Plus. The good - runs a decent shot. Foaming works. Cons - affordable, very light, and top heavy. So whilst sticking the group handle in, have to hold the whole machine so it won’t topple. Auto foaming sometimes (8 out of 10 times) will not stop and overflows. Need to use a thermometer or manually decide when it’s hot enough. The lid of the water tank looks good, but I’ve dropped it into the water tank a few times. The good things especially the price outweigh the negatives. Also, I’ve had to use a mesh shower screen to distribute the water evenly.

Awesome espresso machine
It took me a few attempts and fine-tuning to get a good cup of coffee, but once I've got all the parameters right, I'm enjoying a coffee that wouldn't shame the best cafés in Melbourne.

Breville The Bambino Plus
Purchased the Bambino Plus after watching a lot of reviews. Have had machines that cost 3 times the amount and this honestly it makes just as good a coffee. The auto milk frother is great. If you have a good grinder i would recommend you give the Bambino Plus a shot and save yourself some cash.

Excellent machine, replacement for BES920
Absolutely in love with this machine, I bought it to replace my BES920 dual boiler, which had given up the ghost after many reliable years of service. The repair cost outweighed the benefit so I opted for this machine instead, and I am blown away with the quality I can get out of it (with proper grind, dose, technique etc). Plus it's footprint is a lot smaller and it looks great in the kitchen. If you are thinking about this machine, just do it, you won't regret it.

Key benefits
- 3 second heat-up time: Gets the machine ready to brew in about 3 seconds, helping speed up busy morning coffee routines.
- Automatic steam wand: Produces microfoam milk with less hands-on technique, making flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos easier to prepare.
- Compact footprint: Fits more comfortably on limited kitchen bench space than bulkier espresso machines.
- 1.9L water tank: Reduces how often you need to refill when making multiple coffees across the day.
- 54mm stainless steel portafilter: Supports fuller flavour extraction and works with compatible Breville accessories for easier setup.
- Adjustable milk temperature and texture: Lets you tailor milk results to suit different drink styles and personal preferences.
- Low pressure pre-infusion: Helps prepare the coffee puck before extraction for a more balanced espresso flavour.
- Auto shut off: Adds peace of mind by turning the machine off automatically after use.
Q: Is this a fully automatic coffee machine or still hands-on
A: No. Breville The Bambino Plus is a manual coffee machine, so you prepare the coffee puck and start the shot yourself. The automatic steam wand textures milk for you, but this is not a one-touch bean-to-cup machine.
Q: Can beginners get good espresso from the Bambino Plus
A: Yes. Breville The Bambino Plus is straightforward to start using because it heats in 3 seconds and has simple shot controls with automatic milk texturing. Espresso quality still depends on grind, dose and tamp, so some setup practice is normal.
Q: Can it handle back-to-back coffees for a small household
A: Yes. Breville The Bambino Plus reaches brewing temperature in 3 seconds and has a 1.9L water tank, so it suits repeated coffees at home without long waits between setup. It is still a compact manual machine, not a large café-style unit.
Q: Will the 54mm portafilter fit other Breville accessories
A: Yes. Breville The Bambino Plus uses a 54mm portafilter and is listed as compatible with Breville accessories in the same size. That helps if you want to add matching tools later, but it does not confirm compatibility with every third-party part.
Q: Does the automatic steam wand replace full manual milk control
A: No. Breville The Bambino Plus gives you adjustable milk temperature and texture, but the steam wand is designed for hands-free automatic microfoam rather than full manual steaming control. It suits convenience better than deep milk tweaking.
Q: Is the Bambino Plus noisy when brewing and steaming milk
A: Breville The Bambino Plus is not silent. Expect normal pump noise during espresso extraction and noticeable sound from the steam wand, with some bench vibration possible on a hard surface during use.
