A starter espresso bundle pairing Breville's compact Bambino Plus espresso machine with Baratza's Encore ESP grinder. The Bambino Plus heats in about three seconds, offers automatic shot timing and automatic milk steaming, and has a small footprint for tight counters. The Encore ESP adds an espresso-focused burr set with a wider fine-grind range than the original Encore, so it can dial in espresso and still grind for drip or pour-over. Together they cover the basics of a home setup; the trade-offs are a small water tank, a single-boiler design and no built-in scale or pressure gauge.
