Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The auto-froth steam arm gets the milk to the perfect texture for it! As a plus, it has an automatic milk steamer that works just as easily and beautifully. You can also do it manually if you wish!

My source for coffee is a local roaster. Still love my coffee shop and the barista. The pressurized baskets allow some leeway and allow me to even use store ground coffee.

This bambino unit is actually worth the hype. It's attractive, fairly compact, and quite fairly priced. If you do have a good grinder that you can lock in for a great shot it is a $15 upgrade.

The grinders seem to outlast the machines, so get separate. Replacement process was painless.

It is so well made that it took only a handful of shots to get it dialed in. The machine manages to make simple something that can be something of an art, and delivers shots that are pretty much cafe quality.

Cons

It works but only if you do 3 things perfectly first. It isn't easy to use, is highly temperamental and definitely not worth the money. It does a poor job with auto-frothing. They all do very well with larger bubbles (cappuccino) but are very poor wit... Read More

Quality

Easy to use, easy to clean, great results.

The upgrade in the quality of my espresso is wonderful.

I can’t believe that this makes a better quality of espresso and foam, i just can’t.

Price

Mine was $12 and it works so much better than the original.

It's more than paid for itself by now.

And it was more than worth it.

The price point is right around what we were looking for, and already are in the black with our roi based on how much we bought coffee out.

Shipping

Breville was willing but slow in responses to on-line help queries.

After being spoiled in italy for 3 weeks, i immediately got this on my return --- and use it every day.

Competitiveness

I make lattes and they taste better than starbucks and is cheaper to boot.

I tried many ones of other brands, and this machine is the best for me.

I think there is room for aftermarket vendors to make a better drip tray.

The last 15 years or so i have used the varying upgrades of the gaggia classic pro which is in the same price range but is much... Read More
