Breville Bambino Plus

No, the Bambino Plus does not include a built-in coffee grinder, meaning you will need to purchase a separate burr grinder for fresh espresso grounds. If you want an all-in-one machine with a built-in grinder, you should look at the Breville Barista Express. The Bambino Plus is designed specifically for users who already own a high-quality grinder.

The Breville Bambino Plus utilizes an instant thermocoil heating system that reaches optimal brewing temperature in roughly 3 seconds. This is significantly faster than traditional single-boiler espresso machines that use thermoblocks. You can start pulling shots almost immediately after flipping the power switch.

Yes, the Bambino Plus features an advanced automatic steam wand that automatically textures milk to the perfect temperature and micro-foam consistency for flat whites. This makes it incredibly easy for beginners to pour latte art without manual steaming practice. The wand also purges itself after use to prevent milk residue buildup.

The Breville Bambino Plus uses a 54mm portafilter, which is slightly smaller than the industry standard 58mm. This means you need to buy 54mm accessories, like tampers and distribution tools, specifically designed for Breville machines. The machine comes with dual-wall (pressurized) and single-wall (non-pressurized) filter baskets to accommodate both pre-ground coffee and fresh espresso beans.
