Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine

One of the smallest home espresso machines on the market, the Bambino Plus from Breville is also one of the best for beginners and enthusiasts. Taking up a footprint of just about a half a foot, this little machine packs a punch, with 15 bars of pressure and a fully automatic milk wand. It heats up in 3 minutes, delivering your morning cup of espresso as quick as can be. Our favorite feature (and one that tends to be subpar on most home espresso machines) is the perfectly silky microfoam that can be made (hands-free!) on the steam wand. The Bambino has the same temp-sensing steam wand as the Breville Barista Touch, and is customizable to your milk temperature and texture preferences. You can also program shot time and temperature, making this machine able to function basically as well as your favorite barista. All you have to do is start practicing your latte art.
