Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine
Verdict
Bambino speed plus automatic milk texturing
The Bambino Plus keeps the fast ThermoJet heat-up and adds automatic milk frothing with temperature and texture controls. Ideal if you want consistent lattes with less wand practice — still compact, still beginner-friendly, still paired best with a real espresso grinder.
Pros
- Auto milk frothing speeds up weekday drinks
- Same fast heat-up as the Bambino
- A natural step up for households that drink mostly milk drinks
- Still compact vs full Barista Express footprints
Cons
- Pricier than the base Bambino
- Auto steam is convenient, not always barista-precise
- Grinder is still a separate (and important) purchase
Who it's for
Home baristas who want Bambino convenience with more consistent milk drinks and are ready to spend mid-range.
