The product is a convenient small size, which suits my small space. Can set milk steamer/frother temperature (a sensor will stop the steam based on your setting). Comes with its own milk jug. Pull the nozzle forward to clean with a sponge, and when pushed back in place, the milk steamer self-cleans the nozzle with a water jet. Comes apart easily for cleaning.

I recently returned a Breville BES980 with built in grinder as I could get decent coffee out if it (incidentally the Choice review for the BES980 isn’t great ) and was tempted to go for a much more expensive espresso machine. However I thought I would try the Babino and get a separate grinder. I’m so glad I did!

Edited to say: Makes great coffee with lots of créma when using freshly ground beans.

I like that the Bambino has a 3 second heat up time, a small counter space footprint and can steam your milk automatically - but allows you to steam manually if you prefer.

In the box you will find
54mm Tamper
the Razor™ Precision Dosing Tool
480ml Stainless Steel Milk Jug
1 & 2 Cup Dual Wall pressurised Filter Baskets (when using ground coffee)
1 & 2 Cup single Wall Filter Baskets (for when grinding coffee fresh)
Cleaning Tool
Cleaning Disc

Looking forward to getting my Niche Zero grinder to pair with this. In the meantime I have been using pre ground “espresso blend” coffee from Jetblackesspresso.com.au and have been getting the good tasting coffee from the Bambino as the beans are ground when you order. I did try another pre-ground coffee brand and it wasn’t the best - probably not fresh enough.

Highly recommend.

I bought this machine to move away from pods without compromising on quality and ease of use. The Breville Bambino has exceeded my expectations so far. I have been using it for a couple of weeks.
Here the strong points:
- It is ready to use incredibly quickly
- The coffee is really good - far better than a pod and that just using Supermarket ground coffee - and cafe quality if you buy beans and use freshly ground coffee.
- It is easy to use and does not make a big mess
- It is fairly quiet compared to some other expresso machines
- You can choose the temperature of the milk (3 seconds) and make it hot (with my Nespresso machine it was always lukewarm)
Less good:
- I am not convinced by the automatic milk function. Although there are 3 froth levels to choose from, I find that it makes froth at the top but the texture of the milk at the bottom of the jug is not quite right. I have yet to experiment with the manual function to froth the milk myself. Having said that, the automatic function is very fast so that's good.
- When I first got the machine, it was incredibly hard to turn the portafilter in order to lock it in the machine (I needed Husband intervention with the single shot one). I contacted Breville's customer service (who replied very promptly) and they assured me that it would become easier with time. At the end of week 2, although it is still hard, Husband intervention is not required anymore (maybe I have become stronger!).
So overall a great purchase so far. Amazon had a very good price compared to any major retailers and I benefited from a promotion from Breville - they sent me a $50 Eftpos card.

I have owned larger dual boiler products previously so this was a move from a largish product capable of making 2 cups of coffee and frothing (manually) simultaneously to one capable of making just one cup at a time and frothing the milk separately. When I first began using this machine selected single shot for each cup and we found the coffee to be a little weak, so swapped to double shot for a single cup which delivers a very enjoyable and flavoursome cup of coffee. After always having to manually froth the milk and at my skill level I admit inconsistently, I was pleasantly surprised at what a very good job the machine does in "auto" frothing. The self cleaning feature for the frothing wand is also a good feature. if you are used to a larger machine at first it might take a while to get used to refilling the water container, however, I don't consider it a major issue. You may also be used to an LED readout advising that the machine needs to go through a cleaning cycle or descaling. Because there is no screen on this machine, it signals these needs by various combination of flashing buttons. You need to refer to the manual to find out what each one means. This is also the case if there is insufficient water in the container or if the holes in the wand need additional purging. When it happens for the first time you wonder what is wrong but after a few times you become used to the system. I recommend purging the wand for a few seconds after use even after it has been self-purged and likewise to press the one-shot button after use to clean the head. The drip tray is relatively small so I recommend emptying after each use which is not a difficult task. Overall I believe for domestic use for 1 or 2 users this is a brilliant little machine and I am very happy I purchased one.
