Breville Bambino Plus ThermoJet Espresso Maker with Steam

It's been great! Haven't had an espresso before this but it's left a good impression :)

An excellent Coffee machine... has really improved the quality of my morning espresso... still learning how to make a flat white but great features

I have been eyeing this espresso maker for a while. I read MANY reviews and watched lots of videos. After traveling in Europe a few times I was anxious to find a coffeemaker that would allow me to make my own lattes and cappuccinos at home - but nothing that was too hard for me learn. I can make microfoam with cow's milk, oat milk, or pistachio milk. It preheats in seconds. For a newbie, I think the extraction is excellent and consistently good. This one is it! So glad I finally bought it.

I bought a new one to replace my previous bambino plus. The shot buttons (even double) doesn’t last long at all which is disappointing. The milk frother doesn’t seem to froth the milk very evenly either. It’s good that’s its compact and is easy to use. Arrived quickly as well.

Had to buy a bottomless portafilter because the portafilter it came with was not great. I had to have my grind settings all the way to 35 to get even a drop out. Once I replaced with a better portafilter I was able to get down to 17 or so and it was much easier to get in and out due to the longer handle with more leverage. The one it comes with is too short and my wife wasn't even able to get it out. Love the steam wand, and love the simplicity of the machine itself.

Happy

I am so happy with my new coffee machine. I can make speciality coffee shop standard coffee every morning.

I've practicing using the machine. I'm new to espresso making so there's a slight learning curve. I got it down good and this machine is awesome

Worth every penny! I thought it’d be a lot more difficult to use, but it’s not as hard as you think. I definitely feel confident every day drinking my iced coffee, knowing it’s made out of simple organic ingredients.

So far so good, this has proved to be a great entry point for me to the refined art of barista grade coffee preparation. I was able to make the best cappuccino I have ever tasted, although my latte art still leaves a lot to be desired. I bought a long handled naked portafilter in addition to the spouted short handled one provided and enjoy watching the stream of espresso and the great layer of crema this machine can produce. I also purchased a coffee grinder as nothing tastes as good as freshly ground coffee beans.
