Best thing: Very fast heat-up

Honest catch: No built-in grinder — a separate burr grinder is close to essential for the single-wall baskets

Our verdict

For anyone moving from pods to real espresso, the Bambino Plus is the easiest machine to recommend: near-instant heat-up, stable PID temperature and the most hands-off milk frothing at its size. Budget for a good burr grinder, though — there is none built in — and note there is no separate hot-water outlet for Americanos.

The Bambino Plus fits the parts of a café machine that matter most into a body just 11.9 inches wide. Breville's ThermoJet heater reaches extraction temperature in 3 seconds, electronic PID control keeps the water temperature stable, and low-pressure pre-infusion gently wets the coffee before full 9-bar extraction. Its party trick is the automatic steam wand: pick one of three milk temperatures and three foam levels, set the jug on the sensor, and it textures the milk on its own — then purges itself when you lower it. A 54 mm portafilter, single- and dual-wall baskets, a tamper, the Razor dosing tool and a 16 fl oz milk jug are in the box.

Why you’ll like it

  1. 01

    No waiting around: the ThermoJet heater reaches extraction temperature in 3 seconds, so a weekday flat white takes minutes, not a warm-up ritual.

  2. 02

    Milk you do not have to babysit: choose Warm, Ideal or Hot and a low, medium or high foam, and the wand stops by itself — then purges itself when lowered.

  3. 03

    More consistent shots: electronic PID temperature control and low-pressure pre-infusion help the coffee extract evenly at 9 bar.

  4. 04

    Made for small kitchens: 11.9 in wide and 7.4 in deep, with a 64 fl oz (1.9 L) removable water tank.

  5. 05

    Grows with you: dual-wall baskets forgive pre-ground coffee, while single-wall baskets reward freshly ground beans.

  6. 06

    Ready out of the box: tamper, Razor dosing tool, 16 fl oz stainless milk jug and cleaning tools are included.

  • Small kitchens with limited counter space

Maybe skip it if

  • You want an all-in-one machine with a built-in grinder

Questions people ask

Do I need a coffee grinder?

Not to get started: Breville includes dual-wall baskets for pre-ground coffee and older beans. For the single-wall baskets, Breville recommends freshly ground beans roasted within the last 30 days, which means a burr grinder.

Can I still steam milk by hand?

Yes. Besides the automatic mode, the wand can be used manually so you control the texture yourself — useful when practising latte art.

How much space does it take?

Breville lists 11.9 × 7.4 × 14.3 in (W × D × H). The 64 fl oz water tank lifts out for refilling.
