Breville BES500BSS1BUS1 Bambino Plus Espresso Machine: Third wave specialty coffee at home
The Breville Bambino Plus isn't just another espresso machine—it's your ticket to café-quality coffee without the morning queue. Imagine this: it starts with a gentle pre-infusion, teasing out the flavors with low pressure before hitting the ground running (or should we say, extracting?) at full steam. The result? Espresso that's just right, every single time.
Now, let's talk features—because this little powerhouse is packed with them. First off, it brings third wave specialty coffee right to your kitchen. No barista skills? No problem. With dose control grinding, your espresso stays consistently balanced, no guesswork needed. And thanks to the ThermoJet heating system, it heats up faster than you can say 'where's my coffee?'
But wait, there's more. Digital temperature control means your espresso is extracted with precision, while the automatic microfoam milk texturing turns you into a milk art pro overnight. Plus, its compact size means it won't hog your countertop. Oh, and it's smart too—auto purge keeps the next cup at the perfect temp, and you can tweak milk settings to suit your taste. Because let's face it, coffee is personal.

Bambino Plus Espresso Machine

As a marketer and mom with a busy household, I bought this on a whim, and it's been a solid addition to my kitchen. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and it's great for whipping up quick espressos before the kids wake up. The way it handles the coffee prep is intuitive, and I appreciate that it keeps things consistent without me having to fiddle too much. A tip I'd share is to play around with the milk settings early on to find what works best for your taste—it made a big difference for me. Overall, it's a friendly and helpful machine that delivers on its promises, though it has a few quirks. :)
- Pros: I love how quickly it gets ready to use—no waiting around in the morning rush. The milk frothing is super easy and gives that creamy texture I enjoy, and it's compact enough to fit nicely on my counter without taking up too much space. It really punches above its weight for the price, making great coffee without needing any special skills.
- Cons: From what I feel, it can be a bit noisy when it's running, which might bother others in the house. Sometimes the coffee comes out a bit weaker than I'd like, and I wish there were more options to adjust things manually without relying on the automatic settings.
