I bought this to replace my old espresso machine which had given up the ghost and this was worth the money and makes a much better espresso using the same beans/grind as the old machine Quick start and simple enough instructions to set up the machine. I really like the fact that you can pre-set the amount of coffee which comes out. Water tank size is a good size, the finish is great, heat up time almost instant, easy to clean and looks good in the kitchen and has a small footprint. I’m still getting use to the Bambino auto-milk function but its woks well and unlike my old machine I want to use it to make milk-based coffee. The only slight downside are: the cost of the filters and you need to empty the drip tray quite regularly, it purges pretty much every time you use it. When using the two cup filter the coffee always seems to pour more out of one side than the other.

It's stylish, compact and it's truely a professional espresso coffee machine on a price wich reflects its qualities . BUT IT'S WORTH IT ! :)

Compact machine that fits beautifully in kitchen, quiet, lovely coffee and the milk foamer has 3 heat and 3 foam settings and the heat sensor means you can just leave it to do its thing - love it ! ??

So I have had the bambino plus for a couple of weeks, after my Gaggia baby dose gave up on me. I haven’t figured everything out or tried everything but there are a few standout features. Firstly, it is really compact, check the dimensions it’s not much bigger than a capsule machine. Automatic dosing really is great, literally press the button and you can carry on doing other things like chase after toddlers, without worrying about getting your espresso volume bang on. The auto milk steamer is great, produces much better milk than an Aeroccino or anything I have ever tried, however, although the automatic cleaning is handy, the milk expelled can be a bit messy and you end up with watery milk in the drip tray, so really you end up emptying it on every use - no big deal but maybe a hassle if it’s not near your sink. The water tank does have a filter, and you are meant to change every 3 months, they cost about a tenner each. Overall, a great little machine, that produces great tasting coffee.

Was looking for a good quality espresso machine and got one. New to the world of coffe and didn’t want to over complicate things. This machine is perfect for that. The machine is simple to use and really quick so ideally for rushed mornings. Biggest let down for me is nowhere to store the accessories. Outside of that is exactly what i wanted.

Lovely, really pleased with this, smooth coffee, feels like a barista experience at home, looks great on the kitchen work top too, compact and sleek looking, would definitely recommend!

This is my first non pod coffee machine so please bare this in mind. On first impressions I was extremely impressed with the build quality, look and size of this machine, it uses minimal space on my kitchen worktop and still has a very expensive classy look. It took me 3 attempts to get to grips with the machine and wow!! What a cup of coffee! The temp control and speed is truly outstanding. My homemade coffee is now better than Starbucks and Costa etc. I’ve had 4 guests try my coffee and they’ve all praised how amazing it is. I couldn’t be happier!
