Overview
Brew easy with Breville's Bambino Espresso Machine. Built to fit any budget, the Bambino BES450 offers easy espresso in a pint-sized package. The Bambino begins with a minimal 2-button control scheme coupled with Breville's unique Thermojet heating system—promising piping warm shots seconds after start-up. Milk is managed with a classic one-hole steam wand for repeatable milk texturing exactly as you like it. Best of all, the Bambino comes equipped with pressurized and unpressurized brew baskets for no-fuss extractions, letting it work even with preground coffees.

Pros
- Entry Level Espresso: The clean design and simplistic operation make the Bambino a joy to use for the espresso novice.
- Hot Water: The addition of a hot water button goes a long way toward making this more usable for longer coffee drinks.
-
Cons
- Basic Operation: Affordability comes at a price, gone are the Bambino Plus' temperature adjustments and auto-steam wand.
- Compromised Finish: To reach this entry-level price point, the Bambino sacrifices a few visual niceties, like the chrome group shroud—as well as some internal ones, like a 3-way solenoid valve.
