Breville The Bambino Plus Espresso Machine, Black Truffle-BES500BTR1BUS1

• Compact Case: At a petite 12″ x 7″, the Bambino is one of the smallest espresso machines on the market.

• Instant On Thermocoil: The Bambino is ready to brew in seconds after startup—just the thing for quick shots on-demand.

• Pressurized Baskets: The Bambino comes supplied with single and double pressurized baskets—opening up pre-ground brewing if you don’t own an espresso grinder.
• Removable Water Tank: The large 2-liter reservoir offers more than enough capacity for days of espresso.
• Extended Cup Height: The redesigned, low-profile portafilter makes room for travel mugs and cups up to 5 inches tall.
• Pros
  • Walk Up Coffeeshop: There’s nothing quite like getting a no-fuss latte in under a minute. In your PJs.
  • Milk Texture: The automatic steam wand manages really good microfoam or dry cappuccino foam all on its own.
  • Slim ‘Spro: The Bambinos small footprint fits anywhere—its an excellent choice for kitchens with limited space.
• Cons
  • Pressurized Baskets Only: The Bambino only comes supplied with pressurized baskets—great for beginners, but limited for more advanced home baristas.
  • No Hot Water: The Bambino does not have a hot water spout for tea or Americanos.
