Pros

The temperature and frothing adjustments do a superb job. It's powerful and easy to use and consistently yields perfectly textured frothy milk. Good flavour extraction.

The purging of the steam wand is excellent. It’s great for this price point and very beginner friendly. And it is smart with respect to cleaning itself and when to clean it using the included cleaning tablets.



Cons

The bambino is a cheaply made and poor quality machine. Apart from the drip catcher screen, the exterior of the machine is plastic. Never recommend this. It is not.

    Unfortunately it does not make an americano as it appears the steam wand only provides steam

    Breville should include a box of cleaning tablets not just 2

    I think it is over priced especially when you can go for the breville barista express with a grinder for less
