Key Features
User Experience
Using the Breville Bambino Plus has been a great experience. I enjoy it for quick morning espressos and for making cappuccinos when I have guests. The machine heats remarkably fast, allowing for efficient preparation of multiple drinks.
The automatic steam wand simplifies milk frothing, producing creamy microfoam that enhances the flavor of lattes and cappuccinos. Users have praised its ability to create consistent, quality shots reliably, thanks to its precision and ease of use.
However, there are a few quirks that users have encountered. The machine can be tricky with how much coffee you use. To get the perfect shot, you need to measure and grind carefully.
Some users noted issues with the milk frothing function occasionally causing overflow, particularly when making larger servings. The machine is easy to use, but it takes time to learn. This is especially true for people new to making espresso.
