Powering Hundreds of Businesses Including:

You reach a point where you stop wanting to wait twenty minutes for a boiler to reach temperature just to make a latte. The Bambino Plus solves for that frustration with a three-second heat-up, letting you pull a shot while the rest of the house is still hitting the snooze button. It acknowledges that you want professional milk texture without turning your kitchen into a cluttered laboratory. This is how you reclaim your counter space and the time usually lost to a machine’s slow climb.

Product Features

Automatic Microfoam Wand

The automatic steam wand creates latte‑art‑quality microfoam while letting you adjust both temperature and texture, removing much of the guesswork from milk steaming. The machine ships with a 16 oz stainless steel frothing pitcher so you can start practicing right away.

ThermoJet Instant Heat

The ThermoJet heating system brings the machine to temperature in just 3 seconds, so you can make espresso on demand without a long warm-up. That instant readiness is perfect for busy mornings or when you want a shot between errands.

Post‑Steam Purge

A built‑in purge function automatically adjusts boiler temperature after steaming to restore the ideal brew temperature, so you don’t have to 'temperature surf' between steaming and pulling shots. That consistency helps you reproduce shots across morning routines.

Controlled Pre‑Infusion

Integrated pre‑infusion gently wets the puck before full pressure is applied, promoting even extraction and reducing channeling. For the home barista dialing in grind and dose, this improves balance and makes troubleshooting easier.

54 mm Portafilter Starter Kit

The Bambino Plus includes a commercial‑style 54 mm portafilter plus single and double (pressurized) baskets, a metal 54 mm tamper, and the Razor™ Precision Dosing Tool — so you have the core tools to pull consistent shots from day one. That all‑in‑box approach shortens the learning curve when you’re just getting started.

Compact Footprint, Large Reservoir

Measuring just 7.7 in wide by 12.6 in tall, the Bambino Plus fits tight countertops while its removable 64 fl‑oz (2 L) water reservoir supports multiple drinks before needing a refill. It’s designed for small kitchens where counter space matters but session capacity still counts.

The Coffeeionado Take

Who's It For:

  • First-time espresso buyers — The 3-second heat-up and automatic milk frothing let you make real espresso drinks from day one without a learning curve
  • Home users upgrading from pod machines — The 54mm portafilter and controlled pre-infusion deliver a genuine step up in cup quality without demanding barista skills
  • Daily home espresso drinkers with limited counter space — The compact footprint fits anywhere, and the programmable volumetrics mean consistent shots without fussing

It's Right For You If:

  • You want espresso drinks at home without spending weekends learning temperature surfing or puck prep technique.
  • Your morning routine has no patience for 20-minute warm-ups — you need coffee now.
  • You're pairing this with a capable burr grinder and want the machine to handle the rest.

Things to Consider:

  • The 54mm portafilter means a smaller accessory ecosystem than the standard 58mm — baskets and tamper options are more limited.
  • Thermoblock heating is fast but has limits on back-to-back milk drinks — if you're making 4+ lattes in a row, expect a brief pause between rounds.
  • The included pressurized baskets are great for beginners, but swapping to non-pressurized baskets as your technique improves will unlock better shots.

Our Take:

This is the machine we point to when someone wants real espresso at home without spending a weekend learning to temp-surf — it nails the basics with fast heat-up and a forgiving auto-steam wand. Pair it with a solid burr grinder and you're set for a couple of years before you start wondering about an upgrade.

Water Quality & Machine Protection

Proper water quality is essential for optimal espresso extraction and long-term machine health. Use the guidelines below to ensure your machine performs at its best.

Parameter Ideal Range Why It Matters
Total Hardness 50-170 ppm Prevents scale buildup while maintaining flavor
pH Level 6.5-7.5 Ensures balanced extraction and protects internal components
Chlorine 0 ppm Eliminates off-flavors and prevents corrosion
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) 70-150 ppm Optimal mineral content for extraction and taste
Total Alkalinity ~7.0 Stabilizes acidity and extraction
Chloride 0-28 ppm Prevents corrosion (especially in steel boilers)

Important Note

Always refer to your machine's manual for specific water quality recommendations and maintenance schedules.

Advisory

Install a water filtration system to maintain consistent water quality and extend the life of your espresso machine.

What This Means

  • Water that’s too hard → scale buildup, reduced performance
  • Water that’s too soft → flat, dull espresso
  • Improper water can damage internal components over time

Machine-Specific Considerations

  • These guidelines are safe for most home espresso machines
  • Some machines (especially with stainless steel boilers) require stricter limits on chlorides

Product FAQ

Can I brew and steam at the same time on the Bambino Plus?

No, it's a thermoblock machine so you switch between brew and steam. The upside is it heats up in about 3 seconds, so you're not waiting long.

Does it have automatic milk frothing?

Yes — the Bambino Plus has auto steam, so you can get textured milk without manually handling the wand. That's a standout feature at this price point.

How fast does it heat up?

About 3 seconds for the thermoblock to be ready. One of the fastest heat-up times you'll find in any espresso machine.

What size portafilter does it use?

It uses a 54mm portafilter, which is Breville's standard size for their home lineup.

Does it have PID temperature control?

Yes, PID temperature control is included for stable, consistent brew temperatures.

Does it come with a grinder?

No, the Bambino Plus is an espresso machine only — you'll need a separate grinder. It does include a razor dosing tool to help with dose leveling.

Will it fit under kitchen cabinets?

Absolutely — at 12 inches tall and 7.5 inches wide, it's one of the most compact espresso machines out there. Fits easily under cabinets and on small countertops.

Can it be plumbed in?

No, it's tank-fed only and runs on a standard NEMA 5-15 outlet.

Do you ship to PO boxes?

No, we don't ship to PO boxes. Due to the size and weight of our equipment, we require delivery to a physical address where our carriers can safely drop off your order.

How does free installation work?

We want to make your purchase as smooth as possible and will pay the installation via rebate on commercial espresso machines. This includes commercial machines with more than 1 group head and 220V.

If the certified installer needed is over 1.5 hours away then we will pay for the installation call (and install up to the value suggested on page minus call fee). Travel will be paid by customer. Inquire if you have any questions about your location.


Please note, any discounts subject to void the paid installation offer.

At Coffeeionado, professional installation is included with qualifying espresso machine purchases. Our goal is to make the process as seamless as possible — from coordinating the technician to getting your machine up and running on day one.


Which Machines Qualify

Free professional installation is included with all espresso machines of 2 groups or more where indicated on the product listing. This policy applies to espresso machines only and does not cover other coffee equipment such as grinders, brewers, or accessories.

If you are unsure whether your machine qualifies, contact us before purchasing and we'll confirm.


What's Included

  • Travel and labor costs for installation within the technician's service area (up to 2 hours of travel)
  • Setup, basic programming, and commissioning of the equipment
  • Scheduling during regular business hours, Monday through Friday
  • Associated taxes and fees related to the installation itself

Installation must be completed within 30 days of delivery of the equipment. The installation benefit lapses after this window and cannot be reinstated.


How Installation Is Arranged

Depending on your purchase, installation is handled one of two ways:

Arranged directly — In many cases, Coffeeionado or the manufacturer will coordinate and pay the technician on your behalf. We will contact you after your order is processed to schedule the visit.

Reimbursement — In some cases, you may be asked to arrange the installation locally using an authorized technician and submit a rebate form for reimbursement. Once approved, the covered amount will be refunded to the original payment method used for your order.

We will confirm which arrangement applies to your purchase at the time of order confirmation. If you have questions before purchasing, contact us and we'll walk you through it.


What's Not Included

The following are outside the scope of the installation policy and remain the customer's responsibility:

  • Travel or callout costs beyond the first 2 hours of the technician's travel time — if your location falls outside the local service area, the overage is your responsibility
  • Water filtration systems and installation materials — including plumbing fittings, tubing, plugs, outlets, and any other ancillary components required to prepare the site
  • Electrical or plumbing work — site preparation must be completed before the technician arrives
  • Training on equipment operation — installation covers commissioning only, not barista or operational training
  • False start or callout fees if the technician arrives and the site is not ready for installation

Important: If a technician arrives and cannot complete the installation because the site is unprepared, you will be responsible for any callout or false start fee charged by the technician. However, your installation benefit remains intact — the visit will be rescheduled at no additional cost to your policy.


Water Filtration Requirement

Water filtration must be installed and operational before or at the time of installation. This is not optional — operating a commercial espresso machine without proper filtration will void the manufacturer's warranty. If filtration is not in place at the time of the technician's visit, installation may need to be rescheduled and the callout fee will be your responsibility.

If you need guidance on water filtration requirements for your machine, contact us before scheduling your installation.


Service Area

Installation coverage is tied to the manufacturer's authorized technician service area, generally within a 1.5-hour radius of the nearest certified technician. If your location falls outside this area, Coffeeionado will make reasonable efforts to arrange a local authorized technician, but travel costs beyond the 2-hour coverage limit remain your responsibility.

Not sure if you're in a service area? Contact us before purchasing and we'll check your location.


After Installation

Once your machine is installed, we'll provide referrals for authorized service technicians in your area for ongoing maintenance and repairs. Coffeeionado offers lifetime support on all equipment we sell — we're here long after the install is done.


Governing Terms

This installation policy forms part of your agreement with Coffeeionado and is subject to our Terms of Sale and Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service governs.

Can I pick up the machine at your store?

We do not have a showroom or storefront for customer pickups, so orders cannot be picked up directly from us. That said, there is an exception for La Spaziale and La Pavoni products, you can contact us to arrange.

However, if you'd prefer, we can arrange to have your machine shipped to a local freight terminal/location for pickup instead. Let us know your city/state (or ZIP code), and we’d be happy to check the nearest terminal options for you.
