You're probably using your Breville espresso machine wrong — I make espresso like a pro with this one simple change

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.

I thought the Breville Bambino Plus was overrated... until I reviewed it. I tested the iconic Bambino Plus back in April and immediately was obsessed. So obsessed, in fact, that I have since ditched my De'Longhi and got the Bambino Plus.

Breville is often considered one of the best (if not the best) home espresso machine manufacturer. The brand makes a range of other machines: the Breville Barista Express, Breville Barista Touch, Breville Dual Boiler... you name it, the machine likely exists. The Barista Express is the most affordable high-end Breville option.
