Reviewer verdict

Across 17 YouTube reviews, the Sage Bambino Plus earns an Index score of 3.7/5, ranking #55 among Coffee Makers & Espresso Machines. Reviewers most often praise its features, ease of use, brew quality, while the most common criticisms concern ease of use, features.

The Bambino Plus is widely praised for its automatic and high-quality milk steaming capabilities, with reviewers across 17 videos repeatedly highlighting the fast, four-hole steam wand, three temperature and texture settings, auto-purge and consistently great milk texture (76 pro mentions). Reviewers also emphasize ease of use and beginner-friendly operation—simple five-button interface, quick startup and a large visible water tank—cited often as making the machine approachable (42 mentions). Many reviewers note good, consistent brew quality thanks to PID temperature control and pre-infusion, producing stable extractions and nice crema (37 mentions). Additional recurring positives include compact footprint, solid build elements like metal portafilter compatibility, included accessories and strong value for the features offered (21 mentions).

Criticisms focus on usability quirks and the small drip tray: many reviewers reported the drip tray is tiny, the lightweight machine shifts when locking in the portafilter, and the steam wand/auto-steam can require priming or cause messes if not closely managed (39 ease-of-use mentions). Several reviewers flagged limitations in features and accessories—no built-in grinder, limited hot-water functionality, small/awkward steam wand geometry, and reliance on pressurized baskets or replacing stock baskets for best results (25 mentions). Build quality concerns appear regularly, especially the lightweight/plastic portafilter and tamper and doubts about long-term durability (22 mentions). Reviewers also noted some brew limitations for lighter roasts, fixed brew temperature, and occasional shot inconsistency (12 mentions).

maybe this machine is not for you ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review | Dialing It In! @ 2:51
with a manual side of coffee it's a lot more finicky a lot more variables ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review | Dialing It In! @ 2:09

i consider returning it because of that because it's a lot of stuff ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review | Dialing It In! @ 2:53
the machine has some little quirks here and there like the steam one being difficult to clean and maneuver the drip tray just being way too small and the Machine generally just moving around a ton whenever you're locking in or removing a portafilter ▶ The Breville Bambino: The BEST Budget Espresso Machine? - Fu @ 10:01
how much it moves from side to side when pulling out the portafilter ▶ Let’s Talk About The Breville Bambino Espresso Machine @ 8:08

Features (25)

hot water dispenser not hot enough for some tea drinkers ▶ Sage (Breville) Bambino Plus Home Espresso Machine Review & @ 10:40
included milk jug may not gel with your needs quite as easily if you drink smaller coffees like a flat white ▶ Breville - Sage Bambino Plus Review 2021 #BetaTech @ 8:06
automatic milk steaming can be hit or miss (sometimes too frothy) ▶ Sage (Breville) Bambino Plus Home Espresso Machine Review & @ 2:30
does not have a grinder ▶ The Perfect Home Espresso Machine For Beginners? | Sage (Bre @ 4:49
the tamper tool again feels a bit tacky and plasticky ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 1:45
steam wand takes a bit longer to steam milk (up to 60 seconds) ▶ sage (breville) bambino espresso machine | *honest review* @ 6:12
a con of this machine actually starts on paper as a pro and becomes a con because it's presented as a pro in the manual they say you can hold the button down as long as you want and it will pre-infuse when you let go the pre-infusion will stop and it will hit full infusion. This simply isn't true ▶ BAMBINO PLUS REVIEW: How Good Is It, Really? @ 16:29
no hot water button ▶ Sage (Breville) Bambino Plus Review After Nearly 4 Years @ 14:54
the Tamp is a little too small for the portafilter that it comes with ▶ BAMBINO PLUS REVIEW: How Good Is It, Really? @ 7:31
milk wand position is limited ▶ 6 Months With The Sage Bambino Plus Coffee Machine | Watch B @ 5:43
there's not a ton of room here for maneuvering the steam wand ▶ The Breville Bambino: The BEST Budget Espresso Machine? - Fu @ 2:50
you need a grinder to get the best shot out of this machine it doesn't have a grinder to begin with ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review | Dialing It In! @ 3:06
size of the steam wand ▶ Let’s Talk About The Breville Bambino Espresso Machine @ 2:02
due to the amount of time it takes to incorporate the proper amount of heat into your milk you will often find your milk sort of crusting and burning onto the side of your wand ▶ Let’s Talk About The Breville Bambino Espresso Machine @ 5:56
you won't ever really use the single shot basket, yields a very small amount of coffee and it's very hard to dial an espresso with it ▶ Let’s Talk About The Breville Bambino Espresso Machine @ 0:57
how small the steam wand is ▶ Let’s Talk About The Breville Bambino Espresso Machine @ 8:12
because of how small the steam wand is it is sometimes pretty difficult to be able to get the proper point of leverage to create either a whirlpool or to incorporate air ▶ Let’s Talk About The Breville Bambino Espresso Machine @ 5:44
you just need to hope that your preferences fall into one of the three preset levels which range from very fine latte foam to very heavy cappuccino foam and then one setting in between ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review @ 2:48
not including a dedicated hot water outlet was a mistake. If you're an americano drinker you'll need to boil the water separately in a kettle or steam the water to the desired temperature not exactly ideal ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review @ 1:47
the way that the temperature sensor is separate from the steam wand and requires you to double check the pitcher is making good contact. if it's not touching or the sensor is wet the bambino will not automatically shut off leaving you with a burnt milky mess ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review @ 3:02
hot water dispenser not the best way to dispense hot water ▶ Let’s Talk About The Breville Bambino Espresso Machine @ 7:44
cup warmer only fits two or three cups ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Home Coffee Machine | REVIEW @ 6:50
it can still not brew in steam at the same time ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review @ 4:30
odd choice to only include pressurized accessories ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review @ 5:15
if you wonder why your shots aren't tasting as good as in the coffee shop then the answer is probably the grinder ▶ 3 Steps for Better Breville Espresso @ 3:30

Durability/Build Quality (22)

lightweight form factor did require some extra attention when inserting the portafilter ▶ Breville - Sage Bambino Plus Review 2021 #BetaTech @ 4:26
lightweight form factor ▶ Breville - Sage Bambino Plus Review 2021 #BetaTech @ 7:56
this is probably the only part of this machine that feels a little bit tacky and plasticky because the handle just doesn't feel great doesn't have too much of a solid weight to it ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 1:14
stubby spouts they don't do a good job of equally splitting the shot if you splitting into two cups ▶ Sage (Breville) Bambino Plus Review After Nearly 4 Years @ 11:09
it's light so when you put in the portafilter it it slides around pretty easily carpet actually glides across the bottom of the drip tray even the cups on top of there were vibrating and moving around when coffee was being extracted so it's worth keeping that in mind if you put any cups on top they may actually fall ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 7:38
porter filter I'm not a big fan of the porter filter that comes with the Bambino plus ▶ Sage (Breville) Bambino Plus Review After Nearly 4 Years @ 11:06

can't guarantee how long it'll last ▶ BAMBINO PLUS REVIEW: How Good Is It, Really? @ 6:43
amount of plastic inside them ▶ Sage (Breville) Bambino Plus Review After Nearly 4 Years @ 11:17
This is not going to be something like um some of the E60 ones that are made of all metal that you could like repurpose all the parts ▶ BAMBINO PLUS REVIEW: How Good Is It, Really? @ 18:33
port filter it has plastic kind of inside on the bottom which I don't love ▶ BAMBINO PLUS REVIEW: How Good Is It, Really? @ 7:38
it is cheaply built ▶ BAMBINO PLUS REVIEW: How Good Is It, Really? @ 5:25
a lot of these do end up in landfills ▶ BAMBINO PLUS REVIEW: How Good Is It, Really? @ 6:47
comes with a lightweight plastic tamp ▶ sage (breville) bambino espresso machine | *honest review* @ 6:48
the stock portafilter.com comes with this machine is probably my least favorite part of the build it's incredibly lightweight and it just feels like cheap aluminum it's made cheaply but it is functional it's just not very pretty nor inspiring to use ▶ The Breville Bambino: The BEST Budget Espresso Machine? - Fu @ 2:59
build is what I would call utilitarian or maybe functional it provides everything you need and nothing more or less the body's thin it's lightweight stainless steel and has mostly plastic features all around ▶ The Breville Bambino: The BEST Budget Espresso Machine? - Fu @ 1:13
same also goes for the little plastic tamper that was included with this machine ▶ The Breville Bambino: The BEST Budget Espresso Machine? - Fu @ 3:12
it is plastic on the handle ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review | Dialing It In! @ 3:33
portafilter is mostly made out of hard plastic and it is kind of difficult to break the seal once it's in the group head ▶ Let’s Talk About The Breville Bambino Espresso Machine @ 2:28
tamper that comes with it is plastic and light ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Home Coffee Machine | REVIEW @ 9:55
you need to ditch the basket that the machine comes with and get a precision basket ▶ 3 Steps for Better Breville Espresso @ 1:20
one thing that did feel notably cheaper was the portafilter ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review @ 1:11

Brew Quality (12)

not recommended for lighter roast beans ▶ Sage (Breville) Bambino Plus Home Espresso Machine Review & @ 10:03
inconsistent first and second shots ▶ Sage (Breville) Bambino Plus Review After Nearly 4 Years @ 13:56
fixed 93° C or 200° Fahrenheit Brew temperature ▶ Sage (Breville) Bambino Plus Review After Nearly 4 Years @ 12:43
not forgiving if tamp is uneven ▶ sage (breville) bambino espresso machine | *honest review* @ 7:06
made my coffee really rather weak ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine | Unboxing and R @ 14:23
using pre-ground coffee is not recommended ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Home Coffee Machine | REVIEW @ 10:10
one thing that is missing is the ability to adjust the shot temperature ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review @ 6:09
most people who have problems with Breville machines usually are doing okay when it comes to really dark roasts but when we're talking about medium or light roasts they have some trouble ▶ 3 Steps for Better Breville Espresso @ 0:42
if you keep grinding finer suddenly you start having channeling and then uneven flow because the water can't pass through the puck evenly ▶ 3 Steps for Better Breville Espresso @ 1:08
plastic group head requires running hot water to neutralize temperature ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Home Coffee Machine | REVIEW @ 7:08
they're pressurized filters. if you're planning on using pre-ground coffee with this machine then this is not an issue, pressurized filter baskets allow you to build pressure from coffee that's not ground finely enough for espresso but they sacrifice quality for that convenience ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review @ 4:51
Bambino plus and the Breville Barista Express have issues. Barista Express has a pump that is set quite high around 14 15 bars and that can cause channeling. Bambino plus starts out a bit too hot and will usually shoot out some steam in the beginning ▶ 3 Steps for Better Breville Espresso @ 2:20

Value for Money (8)

$200 more just to automatically steam your milk ▶ Which Breville Bambino do you need? Regular or Plus? @ 2:04
initial cost may be off-putting ▶ Breville - Sage Bambino Plus Review 2021 #BetaTech @ 1:28
expensive for a machine without a grinder ▶ The Perfect Home Espresso Machine For Beginners? | Sage (Bre @ 5:49
the price ▶ The Perfect Home Espresso Machine For Beginners? | Sage (Bre @ 5:21
never liked the bambino first but then the price came down ▶ Why you need the Breville Bambino Plus instead of the Baris @ 6:50
these are expected to last you three months keep in mind that these cost 15 pounds each in the uk so you're looking at about 60 pounds a year cost for replacing filters on this which isn't exactly cheap and at the same time even with the filter you still need to descale ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 3:07
you do need to get a good grinder separately and a good grinder cost you about 100 pounds ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 13:13
you'll need to pay for at least a separate filter basket and if you want a spouted or bottomless portafilter for aesthetics and build quality purposes ▶ Breville Bambino Plus Review @ 5:42

Cleaning/Maintenance (7)

kind of makes you wonder what's the point if you still need to use the descaling kit which you need to purchase separately ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 3:27
you do want to clean your wand with a damp cloth as you can see i've only left this about a minute but the milk's already dried on there ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 9:17
you need to wash this out after every single use essentially ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 9:38
you do have a few things to clean you've got to clean the drip tray you've got to clean the portafilter so you've got to clean the basket ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 12:50
milky water from auto purge goes into small drip tray which can smell if not emptied frequently ▶ 6 Months With The Sage Bambino Plus Coffee Machine | Watch B @ 5:18
cleaning the wand immediately after steaming is a little bit tough because it's not insulated and because the milk dries onto the wand very very quickly ▶ The Breville Bambino: The BEST Budget Espresso Machine? - Fu @ 7:13
gets all clogged up ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine | Unboxing and R @ 13:27

Design/Aesthetics (5)

once you get a few specks of water on this it's pretty hard to keep it looking as good ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 1:57
i wish you had something that would rise your espresso cup to be closer to where the coffee comes down so it doesn't splash out and make the cup look a little bit mucky like it does here ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine Review @ 5:11
this brushed steel one is a pain in the butt ▶ BAMBINO PLUS REVIEW: How Good Is It, Really? @ 5:01
seems a bit meak ▶ Sage / Breville Bambino Plus Coffee Machine | Unboxing and R @ 11:06
