The Bambino Plus is a compact espresso machine built around an automatic steam wand. It heats in about three seconds with ThermoJet, pulls shots through a 54 mm portafilter with an 18 gram dose, and uses low-pressure pre-infusion to even out extraction. Its main draw is the wand: three texture levels and three temperature settings give consistent microfoam without technique, and a manual mode is there if you want to learn. It suits weekday latte drinkers who want café-style milk with little effort; rivals at this size often leave milk texturing to you, and owners say the automatic wand is the reason they use it daily.

Owners rate the Bambino Plus highly for its fast heat-up and the automatic wand, which they say produces consistent microfoam with no skill. Common complaints are the small water tank and the plastic feel next to pricier machines.
The Breville Bambino Plus is a compact semi-automatic espresso machine with an automatic steam wand. It heats in about 3 seconds with ThermoJet heating and pulls shots through a 54 mm portafilter with an 18 gram dose. It has a single boiler, so pulling shots and steaming milk happen one after the other.
For milk, you choose one of three texture levels and one of three temperature settings. Then you put the jug in place, and the automatic wand stops on its own. The same wand has a manual mode for texturing milk yourself.
Low-pressure pre-infusion wets the grounds gently before full extraction. The machine does not have a grinder, so you need a separate one. You fill the basket and pull the shot yourself. Tampers and accessories must be 54 mm. The machine prompts you when it needs a cleaning cycle or descaling. After each use, purge and wipe the steam wand and knock out the puck.
