Had the manager help me pick out a unit that works for my needs. This one has everything i need and will use.

Machine is great. Easy to use, compact, makes great espresso. Just wish it had a distributor tool, or possibly something for measuring out the beans. But those can be purchased separately.

I loved this machine! I tried it at home but I didnt have a good grinder so I returned it. Now I regret it because it worked so good. Looking into getting it again in the future

Love the product so far. We use it 3-4 times weekly for about a month now.

This machice is a perfect for someone that is a beginner with espresso. For the price point, the Breville Bambino does everything that is needed from an espresso machine. If you are looking into getting into the espresso world and dont want to commit to a really expensive machine, this is your go to beginner espresso machine!

Loved the machine. No issues so far. The build is very solid and of high quality material. Just need frequent cleaning of outer surfaces to avoid spots.

The bambino makes pulling fast and delicious espresso shots easy before I head out the door.

The Breville Bambino works great. Very easy to use.
JoJo –
Espresso machine is good at first but starts to have trouble in less than a year. The double shot starts to poorly dispense and dribbles a few drops of espresso gets clogged a lot,The Coffee comes out on one side most of the times and is not very hot. Makes weak coffee.
This Breville is no different than all other ones we have purchased and returned.
It does not froth milk hot enough and I have to do one more cycle to get it hot enough. The frother does not work all the time and have to clean machine again in morning running a water cycle to get it to work.
I clean this machine after each use. There is no extra tools to clean this like a needle to get into the holes in porta-filter cleaned well. The porta-filter is plastic as well as metal so it is not that good quality.
We bought warranty and need to take this back just like all the others in less than 1 1/2 years. Getting tired of exchanging espresso machines. I wish someone would create one that is consistent.
BennetteH –
Excellent product. I have been wanting an espresso machine for some time. This entry level model from Bambino is everything I could want. I eyed the Bambino Plus for a little, but decided the additional features were not necessary for my use. This model does everything I need and got me drinking espresso the next day.
Batman1998 –
My first ever espresso machine. Great purchase! I paired it with the Breville Smart grinder Pro and its equivalent to having a $700 espresso machine. It does exactly what you need it to do: good coffee. I suggest you spend a good time patiently dialing your grind to find the perfect setting for its portafilter. I do grind size 9 at 16 seconds. It yield about 17g of ground.

I was concerned when I switched from a much larger Breville to a smaller machine that I would loose some quality but since my old machine was almost 10 years old, I feel that the new technology in this revel bambino is exceptional. I noticed it draws a lot of energy when I push shots but the quality of the shots and the texture are really good. The small footprint of the new machine and how fast it’s ready to pull espresso shots. I went with this model because I don’t make a lot of cappuccinos or milk based coffees so for the price point I believe it is spot on. It’s also an easy machine to use.

Love this product makes a good cup of coffee . saves me money and I don’t have to go to my favorite coffee shop anymore
LorimarL –
Professional Coffee Machine, excellent quality! Buy it!

Garrett –
You cannot beat the start up time on this machine, just five seconds! Pulls a pretty good shot as well! I’m happy and impressed with its performance.
Christopher –
The item works perfectly for making great coffeee at home. It is easy to handle and to clean. Great item for what you pay for.
OmyanaR –
Got my husband this as a gift and he love it, definitely recommend it!
xDLx –
Great little espresso machine, would highly recommend if you wanna do simple espresso drinks
LaurenS –
This is a great espresso machine for the value! It took me a bit to get used to it and learn how to use it, never owning an expresso or coffee machine before but it was easy to learn.
One tip is to buy quality beans and grind them fresh, it drastically improves the quality and for not that much more in cost.
I was initially debating between this one and the Bambino Plus because I wasn’t sure I would be able to get a good milk froth without the machine doing it for me and that it would be difficult to learn. But it wasn’t! Practice with some water and dish soap to get the technique and you’ll be creating perfect microfoam for your lattes in no time!
This was a great purchase and investment. Breville has not let me down yet.
Picture attached is the first latte I made (in a Starbucks cup to get the measurements right) and it tasted just like it was from a cafe!!
Javier –
Makes me feel like a professional barista. I love it. Very good quality machine for beginners.
ToddB –
Works as good as can be expected for an entry level machine. Have been using it for a little over 1 month now so still learning all of the settings. As far as Pros the machine does good for the price point which was expected from a Breville product. Only Con so far is that when I make two doubles shots in a row the second pull always over draws by almost double. This happens even when I purge the system before the first shot. As far as recommending this item to someone else, it was a good as an entry level machine but if possible maybe save up and get a high end model.

I purchased this machine for my husband for Christmas. He uses it everyday and loves it. His favorite feature is how it makes water for my tea so quickly! I personally love how it doesn’t take up too much counter space, compared to other espresso machines. We have had zero complaints so far!
Melvin –
Overall, great value for the price. It heats up in seconds, comes with a great frother, and makes a perfect espresso!

As a dedicated home barista, I was thrilled to try out the Breville Bambino Espresso Machine, and it has exceeded my expectations. Its compact design is perfect for small kitchen counters, yet it doesn’t compromise on performance. The machine heats up incredibly quickly, taking only a few seconds to reach the ideal brewing temperature, which is a significant advantage for busy mornings.
One of the standout features of the Bambino is its automatic steam wand. It delivers barista-quality microfoam that’s perfect for latte art. This feature alone sets it apart from other machines in its price range. The consistency of the espresso shots is impressive too, with the machine maintaining a stable temperature and pressure throughout the brewing process.
The simplicity of the Bambino is another plus. It’s very user-friendly, with intuitive controls that make it easy for beginners to operate while still offering enough flexibility for more experienced users to experiment with their brews.
However, it’s worth noting that the water tank is relatively small, so frequent refills are needed if you’re making multiple cups of coffee. Additionally, while the build quality is generally excellent, some parts are plastic, which might concern those looking for an all-metal construction.
In conclusion, the Breville Bambino is an outstanding choice for anyone looking for a compact, efficient, and user-friendly espresso machine. It’s ideal for small spaces and offers excellent value for its price, making it a worthy investment for coffee enthusiasts.

Amazing! I loved it it was the perfect gift, works very good!

Great item! Pulling shots is very simple and the steam wand is very good.
zaecampos –
Compact size but woth proffesional performance. Durable
Riley22 –
This expresso machine is definitely the best one we have ever owned. It is so simple to operate, nothing difficult to explain or understand. Highly recommend
AlbertJ –
Slim and compact quality espresso machine. Only thing hard to use is the filters are very tight and hard to remove if you want to change from dual shot to single shot.
MichaelM –
My machine stopped working within the first couple of months. To get it to work, Breville said I needed to buy an “accessory.” However, because of their “generosity,” they’d send me it for free (in two weeks time). Parts necessary for the machine to work should be included. I would not buy this machine.
Adam –
Great machine that allows users to make create espresso without spending big bucks. Manual milk frother is fun to learn.
Phil –
Excellent espresso, semi-automatic, but with the ability to customize. Heats up for hot water or steam very quickly. It’s my first coffee/espresso maker of any type, and I’m very satisfied with it. No issues at this point, have been using it daily for about a month.
DannyE –
Perfect gift! She absolutely loves it! Salespeople were very knowledgeable.
ZK45 –
I gifted to my Son in law on Christmas and he loved it
MichaelW –
We returned the product but everything we read about it was fantastic. Best Buy needs to have a longer with receipt return policy. 15 days especially over busy holidays is trash policy.
PerryD –
I became fed up with yearly replacing my DeLonghi espresso machine due to very bad leaks, despite periodic descaling per the instructions. So, my wife encouraged me to pull the trigger on the Breville Bambino, even though it cost 3 times what the DeLonghi did.
My Bambino is too new to know about its longevity. But the espressos I have been making are much better than the DeLonghi, and the cappuccinos are amazing. The steam wand is so much better, and produces such silky microfoam. Also, this machine comes with a very nice pitcher for the steamed milk.I have hopes of even doing latte art, with a bit more practice. i could not be happier.
The Bambino comes with 2 single-wall filters, and 2 double-wall filters, which sit inside the portafilter handle. (1 for single shot and 1 for double shot). The instructions say that the double-walled filters are for pre-ground or inferior coffee. But I found that even with excellent, freshly ground coffee (I have a burr grinder at home), my results have been better with the double-walled filters. I just mention this to be helpful. Not as a complaint.
