Why we love it
The Bambino Plus removes every barrier to good espresso. The ThermoJet heating system is ready in 3 seconds — no waiting around. The automatic steam wand handles milk frothing for you, which means you're making lattes on day one without learning steam wand technique. It pulls consistent, balanced shots through a 54mm portafilter, and the whole machine is barely bigger than a toaster. If you want one machine that just works from the moment you unbox it, this is it.
Pros
- Ready to brew in 3 seconds — fastest heat-up in its class
- Automatic milk frothing takes the guesswork out of lattes
- Compact footprint fits under cabinets and on small counters
- PID temperature control for consistent shot quality
- Pre-infusion helps extract flavor evenly
Cons
- No built-in grinder — you'll need to buy one separately or use pre-ground
- 54mm portafilter limits your upgrade path for accessories
- Automatic steam wand gives less control than a manual one
