I have this machine, and I cannot get a good crema out of it no matter how much I try, the problem is that you are expected to use the right accessories, which none of the Semiautomatic coffee makers come with, because they want you to expend extra money in that... you must also use the right amount of coffee, the correct coffee brand, the right tampering, it must be a fresh ground of beans on top of that, every time, you cannot buy pre-ground coffee because nothing will work with it... ... in other words, you must do more than half of the work that the machine is supposed to be doing for you, so expending so much money for the work in my opinion, is not worthy, they are expensive, and of course you must do it to perfection in order to obtain a decent cup of coffee, imagine if you have 4 or 5 people in your house and you are offer them coffee, you may as well send them to Starbucks.

I love not having to wait 25 min for the machine to warm up, the smaller footprint and energy usage is about 10% of the dual boiler. Going from pour to steaming is almost instant, so I don't miss the ability to extract and steam milk at the same time. I can't stress enough the need to run 2-3 blank shots before the first \"pour\", so the internals are really warmed up, especially in winter.","date":"2025-12-14","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"breville-bambino-plu","source":"youtube","sourceUrl":"https://youtube.com/watch?v=VsOEFcdrgC8","author":"@birdiergo","rating":null,"text":"What an outstanding, clear and informative review.

I ended up buying a Mignon Zero grinder (as it does both single shot doses and grinds for drip coffee) for $489 CAD. (All figures without the 13% HST). I saved around $1,500 after I bought some small accessories (dosing ring, spring-loaded tamper). Also, now I have a quality grinder and one that is separate from the espresso machine so if the latter bites the dust the grinder does not. The grinder has made a huge difference over the Baratza EP1 I was using. So does buying beans that were recently roasted and using them about 7 days after roasting and before 30 days rather than beans at Costco. I have to say my capuccino's and latte's are just as good as what I get in a cafe. The only thing it doesn't do is automatically create micro foam so that you can do latte art. You have to create that micro foam manually, but then again I mostly only make them for myself so do I really need to have latte art for myself? No. However, I do want to impress my friends so I will try to perfect that. That all said, it's nice to just put the milk jug under the spout and press a button to have the milk foamed.","date":"2026-02-04","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"breville-bambino-plu","source":"youtube","sourceUrl":"https://youtube.com/watch?v=VsOEFcdrgC8","author":"@brigittedossor8167","rating":null,"text":"I have had my Bambino Plus for a few years now and it really has been great.

Then it’ll dispense hot water through the steam wand normally like the Bambino does with the dedicated hot water button. This is mentioned in the instruction manual but something a lot of people miss because they don’t really read the manual in detail and rather just skim through. So the only benefit the Bambino has over the Plus is the even smaller form factor and the less loose fitting drip tray cover. Otherwise, the Bambino Plus is better in every way, but of course, it costs more! I personally don’t regret paying more for the Plus since it helped me focus on getting my espresso shots right before I learned to manually froth the milk. If I had to struggle with figuring out both from the start, I may still be struggling to figure out what to do even now. Manually steaming the milk produces better texture for sure though, but only if you get it right and you’re willing to put the time into learning. Some people don’t care to get more in depth with that and just want a convenient way to make their lattes. So this machine is perfect for that group. The auto frothing is also great for when you just want to free up your hands to do other stuff during the steaming (like prepare your espresso puck for the next shot if you’re preparing multiple drinks) or have the freedom to walk away for a bit to go the to bathroom and such while your milk froths. Oh and it’s also great if you have family members who occasionally want to make themselves a drink but don’t know how to manually froth. But if you’re the only one using the machine and you’re someone who already knows how to froth or doesn’t mind putting in the time to experiment and learn, then you’ll probably be just fine with the regular Bambino. Hope that helps anyone on the fence between the two :)","date":"2021-04-25","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"breville-bambino-plu","source":"youtube","sourceUrl":"https://youtube.com/watch?v=46Q1AIc334c","author":"@rachskim","rating":null,"text":"Bambino now comes with a milk steaming pitcher!

But, the auto purging of the steam wand into the tray ends up with milky water over the bench. Both machines did this, as the poor design of the collection tray forces the water up over the sides onto the temperature sensor, even if the tray is empty. Solution is to leave the wand up until the milk has been emptied and then lower the wand into the milk jug actuating the self purge. Result no mess and a empty collection tray.","date":"2021-06-22","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"breville-bambino-plu","source":"youtube","sourceUrl":"https://youtube.com/watch?v=46Q1AIc334c","author":"@kathyfann","rating":null,"text":"I don’t even use the milk froth I just use the delicious espresso and I use half-and-half and I add Madagascar vanilla","date":"2025-06-14","sentiment":"neutral"},{"productId":"breville-bambino-plu","source":"youtube","sourceUrl":"https://youtube.com/watch?v=46Q1AIc334c","author":"@mrinsanitii","rating":null,"text":"Once again you release video at perfect timings!
