Great coffee right out of the box
I just got the Bambino Plus. I was making delicious cappuccino quickly and I haven't really even played with it yet to dial in settings. Actually, the first cup that I made was excellent. Works perfectly with my Breville Smart Grinder Pro. The auto steam wand works beautifully and worth the upgrade. I really like the foam!

Love this machine
I've had this just under a year and it works great. Makes lovely expresso and the frother works well too. Just make sure that you clean and flush it well immediately after each use. Would buy again.

I love the flexibility of frothing, the milk manually, or letting the Brevelwill do it auto.
Have owned my machine for one year and all family members use it every morning

Turns your spouse into a barista
I bought the Bambino Plus for my husband's birthday. It is our first espresso machine. He was a bit perplexed at first but after watching several YouTube videos, he has turned into quite the barista. I am extremely happy with the bambino plus, especially that it can be programmed and dialed into the coffees we like to use. I originally bought it for it's size as we have limited counter space.

Espresso mornings
Bought this as a birthday gift for my wife. It was the perfect gift for her as I get to make her an espresso every morning now. It keeps on giving. Next week I will master the milk frothing.

Impressive machine
I purchased this as my first espresso machine and am extremely happy with it so far. Easy setup and minimal learning curve. I do not like the forced clean mode as mine stayed stuck in the mode for some time and I had to perform a reset.

Bambino Plus
As a replacement for our retired Rancilio Siva,we purchased the Bambino Plus. My wife is ecstatic as she concludes our lattes are far superior now. To be fair to Rancilio, that fact may have more to do with the with our home barista (moi), than the machine. However, the functions are far easier (speed of heating, ease of making a shot, frothing, cleaning etc.). We will see if the machine endures over time. So far we are very pleased. The only complaint I have is, that it seems if I add slightly more milk than required, the frothing won’t stop until it froths over, requiring a quick removal of the jug. This in spite of assuring that the jug is place well over the heat button.

Punches above its' size
I have had the Breville Bambino Plus for a month now. Very satisfied with the build quality and aesthetics of the machine. It is compact enough for our small kitchen, yet does everything a big machine would, it also comes with all starter accessories. We also find it easy to clean and refill with water, you can either refill by removing the lid or taking the whole water out. Espresso starts pouring within 4 seconds of pressing the button, plenty customization options for pulling shots or steaming milk, just make sure you read the manual or watch a video. Great experience so far, wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a compact, quality espresso maker.

Bambino Plus: Better Than Advertised
I bought this a couple of months ago and love it! I normally enjoy coffee, brewing it a different way but with the Bambino Plus, the coffee is strangely more flavorful and I can easily vary the experience, depending upon how I'm feeling that morning (bold, less bold, etc.). I simply use the wand to add as much water as I wish and then hit the double-espresso button (sometimes twice) and, viola, the coffee is made to perfection! We originally bought it for it's hot milk frothing function. My wife enjoys tea made the "London Fog" way and this machine was truly built for that. The frother super-heats the milk and more than doubles the volume for a truly creamy result. We truly enjoy this product because it works as advertised and, flawlessly. I highly recommend it to our family and friends.

Excellent first espresso machine!
I did alot of research before choosing the Bambino Plus. I was having a difficult time with how much it cost but in the end it was worth every penny and I couldn't be happier. I push a button to turn it on and it's ready to make coffee in less than 5 seconds. The auto-frother is a wonderful feature. The first time I used it my coffee was too cool for me so I turned up the heat for the milk and the next time had a delicious hot latte. I will be recommending this machine to anyone looking to purchase their first espresso machine.

Great for a newbie with room to grow!
I recently purchased the Bambino Plus as someone new to espresso that wanted a machine to learn on and grow with, and I couldn't be happier. It doesn't take up too much foot space, and it looks fabulous on my coffee station. The machine is very easy to learn how to use and clean. It does get a bit noisy when running, but it makes a great shot of espresso. The frother works great, and it's helpful that it has different heat settings - I like to chug my coffee immediately, so it's nice to have the option to not burn my mouth. Over all, this machine is very well-made and suited perfectly for anyone looking for a great cup of espresso - I highly recommend it! :)

Great machine
Bought the machine a few months ago. It has worked really well. We liked the big water tank. Ease of use. I recommend users reading the manual to ensure it is used correctly. It is a great middle of the road machine, my husband can make his americano and I can make my lattes. The milk frothing works great.

This little honey is the greatest!!!!
Burned out my previous machine, different brand, and was in mourning.
Bought this based on reviews and size constraints. It makes great espresso and lattes, is easy to use, has a large easy to fill tank, and looks great on the counter. I love this little machine!

Life Changing!
This little espresso machine does just as good and the dual boiler! It's compact, so it doesn't clutter your counter. I've had it for almost 2 months with no issues. I have saved so much money since!!! I would tell anyone to read the manual, get familiar with this machine. Buy good beans and differnt kinds too! Watch videos and practice. Oh and get a good grinder, it's just as important! I should of bought this sooner!

Love this espresso machine
I was very intimidated to use an espresso machine at first. But this machine is very simple to use. It makes a great cappuccino. The milk frother works very well and it self cleans afterwards which is very nice. I am very happy with my purchase.

Best Purchase
Did my research and Breville Espresso machines came out on top so my purchase was a no brainer as I already own a Breville coffee maker. It did not disappoint! Easy to use and I can enjoy my espresso daily. Next purchase is the bean grinder to match.

Great Espresso Machine
My wife and I bought the Bambino Plus a little over a month ago. We considered all the Breville machines up to and including the Touch model. We finally decided that with just two coffee drinkers in the house, the Bambino Plus offered everything we needed. The straightforward ease of operation, ThermoJet heating and good sized water tank were big advantages. The auto MilQ steam wand feature is the best! We coupled the espresso machine with the Breville Smart Grinder Pro and are now able to make excellent lattes, cappuccinos and Americanos right at home. If you are looking for a compact espresso machine with top-notch build quality and function, the Bambino Plus is it.

Simply amazing
Easy to use, consistent shots, and the automilk function is so easy and works perfectly! No more trying to futz around getting the teamed milk right. Just hit the button and go finish making your breakfast until it’s done.

Perfect Balance of features, quality and ease of use.
This is my second Bambino Plus. It took no nudge from Breville as this has been my go-to espresso maker for over 6 years. The features are top quality and make espresso and cappuccino brewing easy for even the beginner.

Spoiled Me Now
I'm on my second Bambino Plus machine...got the first one right before Covid hit so it certainly saved me money long term! But it is hard to drink any other 'regular' coffee now! Their customer service is awesome, and now it comes with super easy to follow step by step instructions you can get on your smart phone! You won't regret it!

Makes great espresso!
I love my Bambino Plus BES500 and have had it since 2019. I look forward to enjoying a great cup of espresso each morning.
However, the last week it has been stuck in the cleaning cycle! No matter how many time I descale or do the cleaning cycle it will not go back to the ready mode. So no espresso.
