I have the bambino plus. It does have a hot water dispenser called the hot water operation as per manual. You press 1 cup and milk foam button together and the machine will dispense hot water through the steam wand. Press any button to stop operation. A neat little feature that isnt mentioned by any youtube videos ive seen for the bambino plus. Both great little machines that doesnt take much space on the counter and makes such good coffees.
Interesting and sorry we missed that!
Wow, I'm glad you mentioned this. I'll be using this today for sure!
@@TheRecurrence you are most welcome.
On my Bambino Plus (purchased July 2021) pressing 1 cup and milk foam button together turns the machine off. There is no hot water operation noted in the manual unfortunately. They must have changed the design recently.
@@zarabzara thats unfortunate. Sorry to hear that.
GREAT video! I had bought the Bambino but was never really sure of the differences. I definitely made the right choice. Well done video- very, very clear and visual. Great job! Thank you
Thank you for such a good and thorough presentation! I've wanted an espresso machine for years and finally decided on the Bambino Plus. I'm really impressed with the quality and features at this price point and truly enjoy going down the espresso rabbit hole!
Great machine choice!
I had the Nespresso essenza mini (which I love) but decided I wanted to try a real espresso maker so, I got the Breville Bambino (I’m cheap for the difference in price I’ll learn to steam milk 😅) Anyway, I got the replacement tamp for the Plus and so, far I’m impressed .. now, to get the Breville smart grinder pro 👍 .. Great video that and recommendations helped me decide 😊
Great choice!
Bambino has a pressurized 54mm portafilter for pre-ground coffee crema so need to buy another if grinding yourself for the perfect shot
I have my Black Bambino Plus paired with a bottomless portafilter...No complaints
Bambino the Crema leveller and tamper
Oh I really like the 88 mph coffee 👍🏻👍🏻
Great comparison between these two machines and info on what accessories are required! Thanks : )
Glad it was helpful!
In part due to this video, the video you did from home with your wife about the Bambino Plus (and your response to me that my Baratza Virtuoso Plus grinder would work fine with it) and James Hoffman's review of the Bambino Plus in one of his comparison videos (even though he didn't like it much for lighter roasts, but I like medium/medium dark/dark roasts, so I don't care if it struggles to make good espresso from light roasts), I purchased the Bambino this past week, and so far, I LOVE it!
I bought a palm tamper/distribution tool to replace the cheesy plastic tamper, and just grinding my espresso (I've been using Lavazza Crema e Aroma and Dazbog White Nights espresso) at the manufacturer's suggested setting of 8, hitting the double shot button, and then filling my 10 oz mug the rest of the way from the milk wand for a large Americano has been a complete game changer for me.
I thought this would just be "okay," especially since the grinder and machine combined cost less than most espresso grinders, but each Americano I have made, from both brands of espresso, have been better than the Americanos I get at Starbucks (which I thought were good until I tried this), so I'm really happy! Thanks for such wonderful in-depth, honest reviews!
Thanks for the feedback!
I enjoyed watching and learning more. Thanks!
I really liked this video! It had a honesty about it
GREAT video!
Thanks!
Great review, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Must be very good for small machine. The price not cheap.
I just got the bambino, and feel like a ton of water is coming out during the steaming process itself (not the initial purge, which is to be expected if i’m understanding correctly). No matter how much i let it run before steaming, a lot of water comes out with the steam. Is this normal? Can i fix it? Thanks!!
Question: does the smaller Bambino have anything in the way of a three-way post-shot pressure release valve, or is it prone to the 'portafilter sneeze'?
Excellent review, very helpful!
is the Bambino Plus's steam wand better if you're going to manually texture the milk? I mean you don't have to use the automatic function, right?
Correct you can manually use the wand.
@@ecscoffeeinc You didn't answer the question
I have the plus and I always texture my milk manually to make it right for latte art. The auto frothing works, but it’s not optimal for perfect microfoam.
Thanks for this! How does the espresso from the Bambino compare to the espresso from the Express and Duo Temp? I bought the Express but then returned it because I didn't like the espresso, no matter how much I adjusted the grind setting, grind amount and portafilter filter wall thickness.
Tough to answer. The espresso we pull is similar. It really has so many factors...bean, freshness, grind etc.
How many grams did that extract?
Hi! I'm torn between all machines but narrowing down to these, I want a good cup of espresso and love a good latte, should I be looking at the express with a grinder or do you recommend a separate grinder? Recommendations please.
I think you get more and newer technology from the Bambino plus and a separate grinder. We did a video on this here th-cam.com/video/aScMpIjRm7E/w-d-xo.html
Have you figured out how to increase the brew temperature?
That is not possible.
What "affordable" grinder do you recommend to go with these machines?
Look at Baratza or Breville
Sage/Breville Smart Grinder
Could I use E.S.E pods on any of these machines?
That kinda defeats the purpose of having this kind of machine.
@@steveallan5761 well update from a year ago I ended buying it and bought ESE pods for it single serve I did not work but I kept the bambino and I grind my own coffee and use the pressurized basket.
I love my machine!
Wauw, what a weird review. The width almost the same? The Plus is about half wider...
And why mention the tank volume for the Plus in litres and for the Bambino in oz?
does this machine last for years?im planning to get the normal bambino.
They are relatively new...only a couple of years old so longevity is TBD at this point. Most Breville items do last though
i will order now..thanks👍❤❤❤
FYI, I am about to replace our 9 year old Duo-Temp because the steam pressure suddenly fell off the cliff last month and cleaning it is no longer having the desired effect. The espresso is still coming out fine, but I can't get a good foam anymore on the milk. I will likely get the Bambino because it takes up less counter space and thanks in part to ECS's fantastic review.
4:05 why you didnt edit that out? 😂
None of the videos shows the steam clean on the Bambino. Why is this, as I am not happy by the way mine splashes hot steam all over my worktop
Umm maybe use a rag / t towel.
That shouldn't happen. You are obviously doing something wrong.
I missed what grinder you mentioned. Lmao
Breville Smart Grinder or you can use a Baratza Sette 30
I see the price of these.... and nope...
🤣😂
I know it's a great brand..my sister has this brand...I will say...for me.. the size of these is why if I could buy one... I'd probably by the cheaper one because I'm not too into foamed milk... I'd probably rarely use the automatic one .. and if I was curious.. I'd just learn. But currently trying to save money(gunna buy a house)...its still too much...
This is a great review...
they're not even expensive lol anything less and you're gonna hate it / it's gonna break.
This is the bottom of the price range for machines that punch way above their weight.
I can get you US citizenship gurl. :P
"Oat and aboat" How to know it's Canadian not American
Total cutie-pie !.....but I still don't know which machine I want...touch choice !
you said barista express which you are not showing. the models you have are the breville bambino PLUS and the breville bambino.
The Breville Bambino and the Barista express have very similar steam wands (They may actually be the same manufactured part), that is why Rebecca was making comments comparing it to the Express. The Bambino and the Plus have different types of steam wands which makes that feature not directly comparable so we used the Express as a common reference. Hopefully that makes sense! :)
You can use the steam wand section of our Barista Express video from a while back for reference if you'd like: th-cam.com/video/QtvXKPBrYXk/w-d-xo.html
Beware the Bambino Plus. It has an inbuilt fault which causes all the lights to flash simultaneously. When this happens the machine is rendered useless.
This means the machine needs to be cleaned or descaled :)
@@ecscoffeeinc Not so. Many folk have encountered the same problem. The machine must be repaired by a qualified technician when this happens. I wish descaling or cleaning was the answer but it’s not.
I got the Bambino and loved it. But it lost pressure after about 4-5 months. Had to toss it out.
That is unfortunate. Warranty did not help?
Is this Michael Ross’ secretary?
