Very good for the money. I got it on sale for €300.
Unfortunately, the tamper and the portafilter that come with it are plastic and of low quality and need to be replaced immediately. Nevertheless, the machine is amazing. You need to invest in a good grinder (which will cost at least €400), in various tools like a dosing funnel, WDT tool, precision scale, a good tamper (all of these will cost you at least €100), and if you buy freshly roasted coffee beans, the quality of the espresso will reach new heights.
For cleaning, I recommend buying the Urnex Cafiza 2 powder, which will likely be enough for many years, instead of buying 4 tablets every time, which are a bit expensive.
For descaling, you can simply buy citric acid from a supermarket for €1-2 and do the job comfortably.

what a little beauty- perfect for one or two people. Smart machine, having used commercial cafe machines this allows you to really personalise your brew. The youtube setup helped immensely, and the milk wand is perfect. After researching for ages, this replaces the Breville I had in Australia very well. I am very pleased after one month!

I can see why all the positive reviews for this machine. It’s a very good value for money in terms of getting closer to a more high end espresso. If you are serious about your coffee and buy fresh roasted and ideally grind it yourself, use the single wall baskets that come with it, or better yet get some IMS professional barista baskets. For the milk, I recommend you watch some youtube videos and learn how to froth it manually since the microfoam is much better that way instead of using the automatic function. With a bit of customization, better tamper, better baskets, maybe an extra portafilter, and a good grinder you will come very close to barista level coffees!

The Bambino Plus makes a nice espresso, but if you want even better and more consistent results, it's good to do a blank extraction before the coffee. If you combine it with a good WDT tool, a proper tamper, and in the future, a high precision basket, the results will be ideal. With freshly ground coffee from a well-known shop and experimentation with the grind until the extraction time and grams match, the experience is elevated!

Excellent machine. It needs the right settings and the coffee is perfect. I bought it after a lot of research and it is indeed excellent. Crazy for the take away!

I have used many machines. This is the worst I have encountered in my life. It constantly needs cleaning and descaling. About every two months (I make coffee at home on weekends), you have to do these procedures. You wake up in the morning to drink coffee and search for the instructions for the procedures it requires. I will get my old machine back. The most wasted money I have ever spent. There are countless mornings when I am frustrated and angry because of this machine. The comment I am writing is after a year of use and after it needed to go to service for a week because the descaling cycle got stuck.

Fantastic machine, it just needs another portafilter and you're in the 1000€ machine category, in terms of the coffee it produces in the end.
Coming from machines of this category, the ease of quick startup here is unbelievable.
For light roasts that require experimentation with temperatures and pressures, you need to go for another machine. But if you're into medium/dark roasts, it's perfect.
Okay, it's not built like a tank, it probably won't last a lifetime like an ECM or a Rocket, but so what? It has a similar price.
The killer feature is the 3-second boot time.
I won't go back to e61 group machines, the Bambino Plus is amazing.

Very good machine, definitely needs a good grinder and you can drink coffee better than most cafes. Give something extra for the grinder and go at least for the Eureka Mignon Specialita. The only downside is that it requires regular cleaning and you can't buy tablets every now and then, I skip it if it's too frequent, I run the cleaning cycle without a tablet. The milk frother is also very good and does it automatically.

Top coffee, fast, but it often malfunctions even though everything is correctly placed and also requires regular cleaning. Definitely not every 200 coffees, as the manual says. However, it makes such perfect coffee that I would still buy it.

Very user-friendly as it heats up immediately and you don't have to wait to make coffee. The coffee it prepares is of very high quality, nothing like automatic machines.

Excellent. If you combine it with a high-quality grinder, such as the Eureka Mignon, you can make excellent espresso and cut the coffee outside. The only downside is that it may not be easy to find compatible portafilters in Greece if you want to replace the factory one with something better.

Really very good. I had a hard time believing it. It makes coffee perfect, much better than many supposedly professional cafes. I only use it for espresso, no milk foam, no frappé. I believe that this particular coffee is best enjoyed hot and preferably plain. I am obliged to wholeheartedly recommend it based on the results. I have had it for about a month now and since then I haven't ordered coffee from outside again.

The machine is worth every penny. I decided to buy a machine to reduce the cost of the daily coffee delivery I used to get. One great thing about the machine is the very short time it takes to heat up. The espresso I usually make at home turns out perfect, and because I was tempted by the function that automatically froths the milk, I messed up a little with the latte. I highly recommend it if someone wants to cut down on delivery

Very good espresso machine, I have nothing bad to say about it so far. Excellent hot coffee, the espresso it produces reaches the levels of quality of many coffee out there. And the frothed milk that I tried to make 3-4 times turned out very good

I had an Italian-made coffee machine until now and I had to change it because I accidentally lost a part from the group. And luckily, I came across this machine which is 100€ more expensive than my old one but is 2 classes higher. The first time I made coffee with the same brand that I used to make with the old one, I looked at the label again to make sure I didn't make a mistake. No comparison. It simply makes incredible coffee. I highly recommend it without hesitation

EXCELLENT! For anyone who has the passion and wants to enjoy a wonderful coffee at home. Pair it with the coffee grinder from the same company and a little exploration with your favorite coffees, and you will discover a new world of enjoyment, without ultimately spending more than a good super-automatic machine, from which the result has absolutely no comparison. It effortlessly produces excellent frothed milk with the volume and temperature that you define (3 levels for volume and 3 for temperature). It is a high-quality and beautiful construction that you will enjoy for a very long time

For some reason that they did not explain to me, they did not replace it, but at least they refunded my money
