    Best money spent!!

    Reviewed by - February 10, 2023

    I’ve had my machine for a month and I absolutely love it. When I get the coffee amount correct, the shot is great. My coffee of choice is a latte or mocha. The milk steamer is as good as I could’ve hoped for. I used to be a barista so I can get the milk soooo creamy. It’s delicious, a huge money saver (I used to buy 2 coffees a day) and JUST as good and even better really. So happy with the purchase. Only takes 3 seconds to heat up! No wait time. Also the auto milk steamer is fantastic. So impressed and would recommend to anyone! And it does look really nice on the counter and takes up little space which is perfect for my small kitchen.

    Amazing!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - November 8, 2022

    I was unsure at first if I would purchase this machine and use it a couple of times & then have it sit there for looks on my bench top. Having tried a friend's larger version of this model found the coffee was great, I did some of my own research and this model was highly recommended amongst some of the best so I decided to buy one for my small home. I love it, I use it every morning and have no regrets spending the money on it. Easy to use and clean, great tasting coffee, looks good and fits my small bench space well. Also bought a Breville portable grinder, 250 watt and it works well for me to grind fresh coffee daily. There are also the larger grinders to choose from but I didn't have the bench space. The milk frother is the best!

    DON'T GET ANY OTHER BRAND ESPRESSO MACHINE.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - January 4, 2025

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing Espresso Machine by Breville! It's super easy to use, bought one for my girlfriend's house originally so we could make our lattes together but I loved it so much I got one for myself. We are not the best at latte art yet, but we are getting there! It takes about 10 minutes or less to make a latte in the morning which isn't bad. Make sure to buy syrup and add it first in your cup!

    LOVEEEEE my Breville Bambino Plus

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - September 24, 2025

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely LOVE my Breville Bambino Plus. I was on the fence because of the price but I needed to stop going to the local coffee shop in an attempt to save some money in the long run. BOYYYYY was I in for a treat. If you're questioning this and can afford it, just buy it and thank me later. I did some research and used some reddit threads to help me figure out which one to get - I didn't get the one that has the grinder because I previously bought the OXO Burr Grinder that got great reviews and works well. I also read that the Breville with the grinder attached isn't that great and it's better to have the grinder & coffee machine seperate.

    So happy

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - October 14, 2023

    I love it!! Can make an amazing cup of coffee - tastes like cafe bought and love that it is compact on my bench in a small kitchen. Plus since it doesn't have a grinder it's a fraction of the cost of a large one making it really affordable - I calculated it will pay for itself within 20weeks. Plus I get my local cafe to grind the coffee beans for me so didn't need to buy the grinder seperately. Only thing I'd say could be upgraded is the drip tray feels flimsier than the rest of it which when needs emptying and cleaning often I wonder if it will break before the rest. But overall I'm so happy with it and would highly recommend

    Latte’s for Lunch

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - September 28, 2022

    Huge step up from previous Cuisinart basic espresso machine. Really consistent espresso done fast and easy. Frothing was always problematic with the basic machine, the automatic feature with adjustable temp and volume is a huge win for us. Only one negative, the markings on the outside of the stainless steel milk pitcher are next to impossible to read in our kitchen except by the window on a sunny day. Having the min/max lines on the inside of the pitcher would be a big improvement.

    Good espresso machine to learn with.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - January 26, 2026

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did a lot of research on manual and totally automated espresso machines. I settled on one that requires my intervention and one that requires quite a bit of experimentation to learn how to make great espresso. I am still learning, but happy with my decision to get this one. Because of how light the machine is, you have to use 2 hands when installing the portafilter, one for the portafilter and one to hold the machine,

    Great little coffee maker!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - September 24, 2022

    After reading many reviews and YouTube clips on this machine I got around to buying it. I choose the black and it’s going strong. Good tips I learnt which helped me is putting a cup under the milk wand when it self cleans after each use, and I’ve rarely had to empty the tray. Also, I put a rubber mat under the unit and I’ve not had it move when inserting the coffee filter. Great coffee every time and I like that I can press the button and be doing other things while coffee is getting made. Still learning my temping pressure or grinder settings dialled in as not the right amount of coffee liquid is coming in the glass. But I’m new to grinding my own beans, it has changed my life, I can’t go back to grinds now. Terrific, short answer and like the small footprint on my bench. I’m yet to do the class that came right the promo which is Sunday so hopefully it will help with my latte art. The free coffee beans are yet to arrive too.

    Excellent little machine!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - September 20, 2021

    Small in size, big on features, love my bambino plus ❤️ Can give machines twice it's price a run for their money. 3sec heat up time, consistent temperature and programmed shots, large water tank all add to a quicker work flow, resulting in consistent shots. Auto milk frothing is a great feature for a milk based drink and getting those latte art done at home.
