Review: Can’t recommend anymore - Updated 2/25/25 - after being contacted in January by Casabrews and keeping the machine rather than returning it… it now leaks water all over the counter out of the bottom of the water container when I’m adding water and when I’m making espresso. I’ve taken it apart and put it back together - didn’t help. Video attached. Turns out the Bambino is worth the price. I do not recommend this machine - it is NOT made to last. Alright… longest story short - I’m directly comparing this machine to what seems to be the highly coveted Breville Bambino Plus that costs 3.6% more than this machine. For the overall response without reading any further - get this one over the more expensive option! For the longer version keep reading. I need a new machine to replace my very old espresso machine that isn’t working properly anymore. I didn’t want to go too crazy with spending if I didn’t have to. So many people seem to LOVE the Bambino Plus. I bought one three days ago. I returned it two days ago. It made espresso, but not well, and the auto milk frothing, two out of three times, did not stop and boiled fairly hot milk over the pitcher and everywhere. Not a good feature. Not worth the extra $200 they add for that feature over the regular Bambino. The regular Bambino is still slightly more than 2x the price of this machine. This morning out of frustration I opened desertcart and looked for the highest rated/reviewed machine that I could get TODAY before 3pm. Helped narrow it down out of thousands of machines quickly. So here we are. Why 3 stars? Here are the pros and cons for me (and mind you I’ve made ONE drink - the video that is attached). Pros: It’s cute / kinda retro looking with the guage. Which due to filming and watching the coffee flow I realize I didn’t even look at it so I don’t know if it is helpful or not yet. It’s very compact and is smaller than most drip coffee machines. It should cause zero space issues for anyone. It seems fairly sturdy despite the price. It didn’t rattle my cup around etc. Yes I had to hold onto it for the portafilter - but not in an agressive way. The Bambino felt like I had to hold onto it more so. The box and the directions it comes with - they really do cover a lot of information for people who are new to espresso making - which I think is a nice added touch. Cons: The steam wand, turned all the way up, does a terrible job at frothing. If you want hot milk that doesn’t get any real texture - that was my experience. Again - first use - but I steam milk everyday and this steam wand was a let down. The portafilter, the baskets, the "tamper"…. All three need to be replaced immediately. The portafilter is very lightweight and the baskets have to be turned and placed inside with little slots. They feel very low quality overall. The tamper is the flat side of a plastic spoon. I didn’t open the bag with the spoon or the single basket - I didn’t bother trying to use it. I used one I already have. No milk pitcher included. Casabrews does sell upgraded portafilters and baskets and a tamper. I don’t know if I am going to keep this machine (I make milk drinks all day and that steam wand is rough for me) - but if I do - I will spend the extra for the better accessories (bottomless portafilter - non pressurized basket etc). For a budget machine though - overall I’d say this machines reviews are pretty accurate. I did follow all the instructions - and I’m going to go make another coffee now. Update: 1/7/25 - I will still leave my rating at 3 stars because of everything I said a couple of days ago. After a couple of days with this machine and many espresso drinks made - I wanted to add a couple things. First - it really does not froth milk. I’ve tried three different kinds and it just gets it really hot with zero texture and zero froth. Massive letdown for me since I like milk drinks. I also meant to mention in the first review, the steam wand is not the insulated kind - so it gets VERY hot. Just something to be careful with if you aren’t aware that not all steam wands are made the same. I tested the machine with coffee ground for espresso machines and it did not like it. With the pressurized basket it comes with, the machine does better with a more coarse grind (similar to a drip coffee/sea salt texture grind). That would be a plus if you want to use pre ground coffee from the grocery store. The instructions for the machine also say that you cannot use the steam wand and then make another espresso shot right after. If you try to do that the machine goes into heat protection mode. It locks the machine and there is a sequence you run that ends up using a lot of water in your reservoir to cool the machine back down. If you wanted to make a milk drink for someone and make another drink right after for someone else, you can’t. Or you can’t without either waiting an unknown amount of cool down time OR running the routine to cool the machine first. HOPEFULLY this review helps in someone’s decision making. If you ONLY drink espresso shots - this machine is probably tidally worth it! If you like milk drinks…. Maybe try it out and see if you have better luck than me. Today I had to use my old espresso machine’s steam wand to go with my espresso shot from this new machine.
Review: You get what you pay for - For the money saved, it's still a bad buy. The past 4 years, I've owned a Breville with the grinder included. It was expensive..... I thought. I paid about $600 after I found it on sale. That is a LOT of money. So after it broke down after 4 years, I was furious and vowed never to spend that much on an espresso machine again. So I bought this machine to simplify things. I regret it. First of all, you have to buy a separate grinder. Yes, you do. If you really want exceptional espresso, you've got to grind it fresh. So a good grinder is imperative. .. and expensive. That's another purchase. Then this stupid machine "air locks" if you do not make coffee prior to steaming your milk. There's even instructions regarding this issue. See, I prefer to steam my milk first, so my coffee espresso is piping hot when I add my frothed milk. Nope. With this machine, once you make that frothed milk, the machine requires you to wait before you can make another cup of coffee and if you don't follow these steps in precise order, it air locks until it cools down which takes about 10 minutes. Yes, it does instruct you regarding this issue, but when I make my cappuccino and froth my milk, the next person has to wait for it to cool down to make their cup. Secondly, God help you if the water reservoir runs dry. Air locks again. It's not a large reservoir either. Next, this machine is LOUD and vibrates like A Boeing Max. So much in fact, that your cup will shimmy right out from under the dispenser and your freshly ground coffee will dispense no where close to that expensive custom made cappuccino cup you bought on Etsy. It's a cheap version so I didn't expect much, but it really never delivered a great espresso. And in the end, it saved me no money because now it doesn't really work after less than a year and I'm out my purchase price and have endured hassle and shitty espresso. My advice? Suffer through shitty coffee and save up till you can buy a Breville. Trust me, it's worth the investment. This machine doesn't save me counter space either, because now I have to have a separate grinder on the counter, too. It's a messy ordeal. Just don't. Now after less than a year, it broke. Complete crap. So, I'm saving my money up for another Breville. Four years of no hassle and exceptional coffee with a grinder included was worth the $600. Lesson learned.

### ⭐ Can’t recommend anymore
*by G***5 on January 5, 2025*

Updated 2/25/25 - after being contacted in January by Casabrews and keeping the machine rather than returning it… it now leaks water all over the counter out of the bottom of the water container when I’m adding water and when I’m making espresso. I’ve taken it apart and put it back together - didn’t help. Video attached. Turns out the Bambino is worth the price. I do not recommend this machine - it is NOT made to last.

### ⭐ Meh
*by F***K on December 26, 2025*

The espresso is fine, but using the machine is awful. It's loud. It rattles. The portafilter isn't great - the insert is really loose and comes out half the time when knocked the grounds out (more on that in a sec), it's got this weird maze of stuff below the insert, it dispenses espresso unevenly if using two smaller espresso cups. I have yet to knock out a solid puck, they're all soupy messes. The steam wand is the loudest, most obnoxious thing I've ever heard maybe. Oh and also it takes forever to steam anything. And while I don't like foam, my wife does, but this has yet to produce any. So it's going back.
