Breville The Bambino Plus Espresso Machine, Stainless Steel-BES500

The Bambino Plus is a compact espresso machine for countertop use. It features a brushed stainless steel exterior, with a control panel of four round pushbuttons and two indicator lights. The steam wand pivots to the right side of the machine, above a drip tray with a removable grid. It produces espresso shots and steams milk.

The unit measures 7.7 inches wide, 12.6 inches deep, and 12.2 inches high. The water tank fills from the top, and the portafilter seats with a quarter-turn lock. Two spouts dispense coffee simultaneously, allowing for double shots. The Bambino Plus is designed for rapid heat-up, reaching brewing temperature in 3 seconds from a cold start.

Automated Milk Steaming

The machine includes an automatic milk texturing system. Place the included stainless steel milk jug under the steam wand, and the Bambino Plus heats the milk to the selected temperature and texture. This allows for hands-free milk preparation while an espresso shot is brewing. The steam wand purges automatically after use.
