This is one of the best Bambino Plus review videos I’ve seen and I have watched at least 10 videos, some from the largest espresso channels on YT! Thanks for the great information!!
If I wasn’t working full time now (youngest heading to college in fall) I would totally be getting this machine. I’ve watched sooo many videos on dialing in espresso machines. What an accomplishment to pull an amazing shot! Enjoy your new machine!
What are your thoughts after watching this? *Mean and condescending comments will be ignored and blocked so don’t even waste your energy because I no longer engage with them *
I appreciate your video. I’m a long way from your ability with coffee, but I learn from what you explain and I really enjoy your “realness”! Keep up the great work!
Very real video, you had me cracking up at times. For me this is way too much work lol. I love the pod because I am too lazy to do all that. I had an espresso machine before nespresso and I was so lazy to make it and clean it. The bambino is beautiful and love the wooden handle. Thanks for the video 👏🏼👍🏼
Here I am again. Binge-watching your videos. Girl, you are a coffee goddess!! I so wanted a Bambino Plus. I'm so jelly. Just don't have the money to invest. But you handled that baby like a PRO. James Hoffman would be proud. Thank you for all that you do. I'm in the process of setting up a little coffee bar in the master bedroom. Congrats on the little "bambino".
I have the bambino(former nespresso user), and hated it at first and also considered returning it multiple times 😂 I now have the hang of it and love doing the process every morning and barely make a mess now 🤣 loved the video!
same. same. i was just using the dual wall baskets, switching to the single walled baskets + a bottomless portafilter + a grinder + a distribution tool has beeeen life changing. i bought a eureka specalita & it's awesome!!!
Thanks for the great review Alex. Love the detail and honesty. I too, love the simplicity and ease of nespresso, BUT you cannot compare the taste of a latte brewed in a higher end espresso machine vs nespresso. Not even remotely close. Very different flavors. And that's ok. That's what makes it great, but I love the process too. I kept both my machines to match my needs. Thanks again!
No way great video! I recently started watching your videos for the past month because I was considering getting a nespresso and ended up binging a lot of your videos, Ultimitly I ended up with the breville express this past week. funny timming! keep up the good work!
Thank you for your video I just ordered the bambino one and you did great don’t worry about giving explanation about what people are going to think they don’t have to watch your video they can go see something else looking forward to watching more of your videos ❤
I loved the video., but in all sincerity, I like the simplicity of the pod system because of time restrictions. However, I can appreciate that others can take their coffee journey to the next level, so good for you. 🙂 And these days everything is controversial, people and the public in general are taking things way too serious. Life is too short.
I love using my Bambino Plus, it's a very capable machine! I found the stock tamper to be awkward and difficult to get consistent results with so I went with a Jack Leveler and it's made a huge difference!
You are not crazy, but I may be!. I only JUST bought my first Nespresso and love it. Have only had it for like 2 weeks and am so impressed after drinking Keurig pods. Well, I already feel like I wish I had just gotten an espresso machine! UGH!... I'll try to wait maybe a year, but I'm sure one is in my future. Thanks for all the great honest videos!
I bought this machine 2 weeks ago so I'm going through the same process as yourself. I love it, it's fun and rewarding and Bambino is a great little machine. Try making an affogato!
Yay! Congrats on getting this manual process to where you want it to be! Glad you got a chance to try this! I still only have my Vertuo plus and Chemex. I love watching videos and shorts where people pull these shots, it’s somehow relaxing. 🥰
You explained it correctly yes it does take time to dial in but it is worth it i also have nespresso machines for when i am in a hurry but freshly ground beans nothing beats that
Alex, I watch your videos alllll the time but never comment 😩 I wanted to say thank you for all the Nespresso recs and Congrats on your second baby boy 💙💕💙💕 xoxoxoxo
as you know I recently left the Nespresso world (I love the Essenza Mini) and got the Breville Bambino because I wanted to save money (Starbucks can be expensive and unfortunately so can Nespresso capsules 😂) .. loved the video even thought it was for the Plus) I feel that I learned something from it 😮 as I side note I ended buying some accessories from KNODOS hopefully to take my espresso experience to the next level 😊 .. I have been using the portafilter that came with the Bambino but, I’m going to try to use a bottomless one and ground my own espresso.. time will tell 🎉
The machine is so pretty like the Creatista! I've been on the fence about going manual espresso, but I'm just too much on the go. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
It looks good on the counter. I went to buy one yesterday and was disappointed that it was plastic. It felt not so sturdy. I opted for a Nespresso instead. If I were to get plastic, I figured I’d go a less expensive, less time intensive unit.
Girrrlllll I am so glad I saw this video!!! I wanted to up my coffee bar to the next level especially since I love a good latte at home and was considering buying an espresso machine but wow 😅 I was getting confused!!! Lol I think I’ll just keep my nespresso and live that pod life for now and maybe once my daughter isn’t so attached to me try out an actually espresso machine!! It’s a beautiful machine tho!! I love the white machines!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍 maybe do another video later on on how long it took you to get a little bit better and quicker ☺️☺️🤗
Thanks for this. I have a superautomatic Delonghi machine, but I’ve been wanting to get into a manual setup. I really like it in white. It disappears on the counter. Thanks for sharing your process.
@@_Alexmojica in fact, I just bought the Bambino Plus (in white) last night because it’s $100 off right now. I like your coffee bar setup. Next purchase is the grinder (in white of course).
if you get a silver mesh screen puck screen it makes the water flow so much more even and the puck comes out better and I can taste the difference in the espresso
Be kind...or little Karen will come out 😆! Alex, you did a great job on the video of introducing the coffee family to the manual side of espresso making. You know I'm right here with you on "the struggle" but I agree when you have time to play, the end result will get there eventually. I love my "Bella" in her pretty Damson Blue!
This was very helpful. My shots taste pretty bitter so I need to go coarser. Even tho I was still learning I loved all the drinks I made. I love the bambino plus a lot!
Very good video and well explained, exactly what I needed. I heard that this machine struggles with light roasted coffee. Have you tried any light roasts?
What a great video ☺️ my puck are soupy 😬I mean there enjoying the coffee. I do have the barrista Pro. Same I was thinking about returning after I ordered the Nespresso.
Amazing!!!! I like the machine! I was also wondering on the wall behind you what is in those jars with the labels on them next to your sauces? I'm curious because there's so many.
Girl! It’s okay to be picky, especially for a legit espresso machine. I watch James Hoffman as well, and you learn a lot from him! As you continue on your coffee journey you’re going to figure out what you like and don’t, so it’s okay to be particular. If anything I’m learning from you cuz getting an espresso machine will be my next coffee goal. I do like the convenience of Nespresso, and have done the French and pour over style for coffee but do want to get into espresso making, thank you for your vids!
This is so good! Can you share your grind setting with the Breville grind? Thanks. I know you mentioned you went coarser I am curious to know what you ended up.
Hi beginner latte maker here! I was wondering if the crema seems better to you compared to the Nespresso? I bought a Nespresso & it the crema seems to dissipate rather quickly. I’m love a creamy/ frothy drink. Also, is the bambino hard to program? Thanks for answering!😌
What was the final grind setting you settled on for your grinder/machine? I know that every bean needs its own setting, but I have the same grinder and same espresso maker as yours, and wanted some starting point as a guidance. Thanks a lot!!
I don’t remember the setting unfortunately, believe me that even a starting point won’t make a difference. If you have the same grinder I would start around where it says espresso and go from there. Follow my tips as far as dosage and timing and outcome and that guide you to dialing in
After I got my Breville, my Keurig coffee taste like old coffee water lol how are you liking coffee from the creatista after getting the breville machine? I want to replace my Keurig with the creatista because I still want something I can do quick when I have a busy morning.
I love my creatista, but if you’re coming from a Breville you definitely will notice a difference, I can live with it. I love the convenience and ease of use about it. Definitely better than keurig though
If I purchase grounds instead of beans, and weight out the grounds. How do I know what to dial in the machine to? Since the grounds are already packaged, can you tell the fine or coarse the package is? I’m thinking about getting Bambino but not the grinder. I do not want to purchase an expensive one yet in case I do not like it. My Nespresso has just been tasting burnt to me for the past year no matter what pod I use and after descaling.
I recommend buying whole bean and having your local coffee shops grinding them for you for espresso. Pre ground coffee from stores is hard to figure out if it’s good for espresso or not.
So just bought mine, but for now dont have a grinder, will be buying pregrinded ones :( do you dial in the machine with different coffees? Or only if you grind it yourself?
I use a bottomless portafilter instead of the one the machine comes with so I dial in every new bean. I hear that you don’t have to do that with the portafilter that comes with the machine though
@@_Alexmojica I believe the commenter was asking if you have to dial in with pre grounded coffee beans. Coffee that comes in a bag from the grocery store that has already been grounded. I would like to know as well :)
@@spanishbarbiexo there’s not way to “dial in” pre grounded coffee. The whole process of dialing in means you play around with grind settings. If you don’t have a grinder then you can’t do that. This video is old but I learned now that you don’t dial in your machine. You dial in the beans most importantly. And for that you need whole beans and a grinder
@@_Alexmojica thanks so much for your response! I just found your channel as I have been looking into buying a bambino plus. You did a great job reviewing this machine and I love the sea salt color so I went ahead and purchased it in the same color. I never made espresso before but your video helped me a lot to understand how it works 😘
Every whole bean is different 12 might not work for the beans im using. I’ve tried so many different brand beans and they all dial in at different numbers
@@_Alexmojica I was interested in the dosing funnel not the bottomless portafilter I'm just now going to purchase the unit and I know our dosing funnel would reduce the mess. I was really curious about the flared one not the one that locks on
I saw always wanted the breville barista but it’s a lot of money and a lot of investment. So I can’t afford that right now but I love espresso. So I got myself a nespresso machine since it’s a lot cheaper
@@_Alexmojica true! If you get it right it really does. I love my Nespresso, have it since Christmas. Having my coffee by just pressing a button it's so convenient. But..I've always wanted to learn how to make espresso on a machine like this one and also do latte art. In the near future I'll get one ❤️. I want to take some clases first and learn everything.
@@_Alexmojica some beans require to be grinded that fine? On the same machine.. if i grind it even finer like a 3 to get a longer extraction the machine will just choke
@@_Alexmojica I’ll keep trying. I get good and bad shots with both my Bambino and Delonghi bean to cup machines. The last great shot I had was in Italy 10 years ago. I’ll never match that.
Loved your video. Have been debating on getting an espresso machine for years. These machine is perfect for me to start on. By the way can you let me know the person you follow on Instagram about the shot method you mentioned? TIA

Thank you for this review!! I love my nespresso but I’ve also wanted to dabble into a manual espresso machine and this was super helpful 🥰
That’s awesome I’m glad it was helpful!
I think I need both. I have a nespresso which is good for hectic days and manual for more laid back weekend mornings
The perfect balance 🤗🥰

Totally agree! Most days nespresso is my go to but sometimes I do get the itch to go manual so it’s nice to have options 🥰

I love free-loading off of your coffee craziness ♡ ☕ 👭🏻
Haha 😋😄
If you’re wanting latte art try setting the froth to medium or high. That will give you the foam needed to create the art.

how's it compared with nespresso? is the difference are night and day?
Night and day better but a big learning curve. Didn’t start liking mine until months later once I became comfortable with the ins and outs

Does it taste better than Nespresso?

at 12 grind size I get a 12 seconds brew.... what's wrong? same machine same grinder I need to get down to 4 to get 22 seconds is it normal?
Same beans?
Each bean will require different setting and fine tuning

I don’t know what else to recommend, I’m also using a bottomless portafilter not the one the machine came with and that plays a huge part
Are you weighing your beans and extraction as it comes out?
Me thinking if I should get a manual espresso or get a manual one… I feel even more confused
Keep doing your research before investing in one. You can get by with using the items it comes with, I just prefer to do it this way
Very interesting.♡♡♡

Way better
