The Breville Bambino Plus coffee machine continues the consistent design style of the Breville brand. The overall stainless steel material and smooth lines, coupled with the compact body, completely broke my impression of bulky coffee machines. The characteristic of this coffee machine is that it occupies a small space and is lightweight, making it very suitable for compact kitchens. It is suitable for placing on the countertop because its design can perfectly complement your kitchen.
In addition to the coffee machine, the entire product also includes a stainless steel milk carafe, stirrer, coffee filter cleaning tool razor, cleaning tool, drip tray, cleaning tablets, 1 and 2 cup double cup filter basket. There is also a steam wand above the machine. The overall supporting tools are comprehensive and there is no need to purchase them separately. The coffee machine is also equipped with a removable water tank on the back, which can be removed for cleaning or adding water at any time.
The operation of the coffee machine is very intuitive. The three buttons on the front of the coffee machine are for one cup, two cups and steam options respectively. The two small buttons on the side are used to adjust the milk temperature and milk foam design respectively. The operation is very simple. And it is worth mentioning that the milk frother can automatically froth milk and can easily produce fluffy milk froth, which is very friendly for novices.
Performance

After getting the machine, the water cycle was carried out twice inside. After wiping the outside, the water tank was filled up and it started working. This machine does not have a separate grinder, so you need an additional coffee grinder. I think the grinder provided by Breville is a good choice. After grinding the coffee, I put it into the handle. I pressed it twice with a tamper, and wiped off the excess coffee powder with the provided razor.But don’t worry, the edges aren’t sharp, they’re just designed like a razor.
Insert the handle into the water outlet and press the button for two cups. It can quickly heat up in three seconds, so my coffee is ready within one minute. But I wanted to test the function of the milk frother, so I made an extra cup of milk froth. I only needed to set the temperature and texture of the milk, put the cup on the drip tray and wait. The milk froth it produced was very dense. , and the milk is also heated very well, which is very convenient for me, who doesn’t know how to froth milk. And you can also heat the milk separately.
As long as you find the coffee beans that suit your taste, the coffee will be as mellow as the coffee from the coffee shop.
