The Breville Bambino Plus is a compact espresso machine with a 54mm portafilter, ThermoJet heating that reaches brew temperature in 3 seconds, and PID temperature control. Its automatic steam wand textures milk to a chosen temperature and texture, and the machine has a 7.7-inch width. It suits shoppers who want cafe-style espresso and microfoam without a large footprint. Compared with rivals, it heats faster than many thermoblock machines and automates milk texturing, but it lacks a built-in grinder and has a small water tank.

The Breville Bambino Plus is a compact espresso machine with an automatic steam wand. It is part of the Bambino Series and is built around Breville's 4 keys formula for third wave specialty coffee at home. The machine is 7.7 inches wide, so it fits on a countertop.
It uses a 54mm portafilter with a 19 gram dose. Low pressure pre-infusion gradually increases pressure at the start of extraction so the flavors are drawn out evenly. Digital temperature control (PID) delivers water at the right temperature. The ThermoJet heating system reaches extraction temperature in 3 seconds.
The automatic steam wand lets you adjust milk temperature and texture level. It produces microfoam suited to latte art. After steaming, the machine automatically purges the heating system so the next espresso is extracted at the right temperature.
