A favorite cup, freshly ground coffee and a little time to yourself. Bambino Plus gives espresso a compact home on the countertop, with milk texturing for the drinks you enjoy making most.
What makes it a good fit
Make room for an espresso ritual with a compact machine that fits comfortably into a smaller coffee corner.
Choose your milk temperature and texture for a flat white before work or a cappuccino on a slow weekend.
Fast heat-up keeps a spontaneous coffee break simple, without a long warm-up routine.
Made for moments like these
01
Take five minutes back for yourself
Make the first cup a small ritual: choose your beans, prepare the dose and taste the result before the day becomes busy. Adjust one setting at a time as you learn what you enjoy.
02
Make an after-dinner coffee feel personal
Offer an espresso or prepare a milk drink instead of ending the evening immediately after dessert. Keeping your cups, coffee and cleaning tools together makes the workflow more comfortable.
03
Give a new bag of beans a proper introduction
Use a slow weekend morning to dial in your grind and drink volume. The reward is a repeatable recipe that fits your cup and your taste, rather than somebody else’s default.

Your questions, answered
Who is this model a good fit for?
For compact kitchens and coffee drinkers who already have, or plan to add, a suitable espresso grinder.
Does it use whole beans, ground coffee or capsules?
Use ground coffee in the portafilter. A separate espresso-capable grinder lets you adjust the grind for fresh beans. Prepare the dose and follow this model’s tamping and brewing steps.
How hands-on is the coffee-making process?
You prepare the portafilter and take an active part in the brewing routine. Automatic steam wand with adjustable temperature and texture.
Can I make milk drinks?
Automatic steam wand with adjustable temperature and texture. Clean the milk-contact parts after use. With plant-based milk, texture depends on the milk formulation and selected setting.
Will it fit my countertop?
Measure width, depth and overhead access before choosing a position. Leave space to refill the water tank and bean hopper, where fitted, and to remove the drip tray. Use the electrical supply specified for the US model and keep the machine accessible for daily care.
How do I keep the flavor consistent?
Start with fresh coffee and appropriate water, clean the drink-contact parts regularly and empty the drip tray and used-coffee container or capsule area as applicable. Follow the model’s cleaning and descaling schedule; milk cleaning and descaling serve different purposes.
