As good as the Breville Bambino Plus espresso machine is, I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone — here’s why

The breville bambino plus / sage bambino plus in stainless steel silver photographed against a blue background shown with its accessories including milk jug, tamper, portafilter, and shown in use extracting espresso.

If you’re an espresso purist, look away now. This machine is probably not for you. But if you’re the kind of person who just wants fresh, delicious, properly-made espresso, and you aren’t worried too much about the craft of it all, then oh boy, is the Breville Bambino Plus right up your street.

While I doubt this machine would impress experienced espresso connoisseurs (a dual-boiler is better for that), the Bambino Plus is hands-down one of the best espresso machines for beginners. It’s breathtakingly easy to use — no calculating ratios or counting seconds here — right out of the box.
