Description
Overview
Just like a cafe, the Bambino Plus does not compromise on the four key elements for true third wave specialty coffee. Delivering barista quality performance using a 54mm portafilter with 19 grams for full flavor and an automatic steam wand for milk texturing that delivers true handsfree microfoam at the right temperature, just as you would see from our top of the line the Oracle Touch. With a 3 second heat up time from a cold start, along with instantaneous transition from extraction to steam, you can make a coffee even faster.
Features
- Compact Case: At a petite 12โณ x 7โณ, the Bambino is one of the smallest espresso machines on the market.
- Smart Milk: Equipped with the same auto-frothing and temp-sensing steam wand as theย Barista Touch,ย milk texturing is as easy as a single touch.
- Instant On Thermocoil: The Bambino is ready to brew in seconds after startupโjust the thing for quick shots on-demand.
- Pressurized Baskets: The Bambino comes supplied with single and double pressurized basketsโopening up pre-ground brewing if you donโt 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: Thereโs nothing quite like getting a no-fuss latte in under a minute. In your PJs.
