    Very good deal for officially brand new stock, Considering previous ‘refurbished’ (brand new sealed stock) bambino went for 296 in previous ebay sale.

    The Bambino Plus is an incredibly capable and - dare I say it - reliable espresso machine. Some may label it a "starter", but it really punches well above its weight. A few years in and I am in no rush to upgrade mine.

    Amazing to see it down at this price range again.

    • killabob on 24/11/2024 - 16:11

      Just bought one recently and interested to know, do you use the dual wall or single wall basket or did you buy aftermarket?

      • ASA on 24/11/2024 - 16:37
        +2

        By dual wall do you mean the pressurised basket? If so, then use that if you don't have a grinder and are buying pre-ground coffee. If you have a grinder then you should be using the normal basket. The breville ones are actually pretty good so probably no need to get an aftermarket one.

      • ozbloke2 on 24/11/2024 - 16:39

        I've had the plus for a couple of years now and used the supplied single wall basket for ages. The dual wall basket is only for if you're using pre ground coffee.
        I only recently bought an aftermarket because I wanted to try a bottomless portafilter. Otherwise I think the single wall basket was good enough.

        • kacak on 24/11/2024 - 17:02

          Which bottomless portafilter did you get for your Bambino Plus, and do you recommend it? I'm thinking of trying one getting one myself

            @kacak: I got a nice wood handle one from Ali Express 2 years ago for $22. No complaints. Use it daily.
            Got another just recently from Temu (same price with allegedly 55% Cashback). Equally as good. All chrome plated, and the coffee only touches the basket. So won't be any dodgey lead poisoning/ metal issues.

            @kacak: I got a cheapish rosewood bottomless portafilter from Amazon for about $35 for the actual extraction with stock breville single wall basket. You can get the same one for about $20 if willing to wait.

            I use the stock breville portafilter with stock dual basket to warm up the group head. With the bottomless portafilter in a warmed up in a cup full of boiling water on the side. Its important to have a warm grouphead and warm portafilter, it helps to extract good espresso.

            The stock breville baskets are decent quality so no need to replace them.

            I grind the fresh beans into the warmed up bottomless portafilter and start extracting. I use extraction timings as a guide and taste test to fine tune timings.

            Im not a coffee expert but i know enough between a sour, sweet, and bitter extraction.

            • Motozine on 24/11/2024 - 20:35

              @voo123: Can i ask why not use the bottomless portafilter only for preheating both the groupset and the basket/holder itself?

          • ozbloke2 on 25/11/2024 - 08:03
            +2

            @kacak: Got this one for about $45. Clearly there are cheaper options out there, but I didn't ask OzB community at the time!
            https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BR7RNSDB
            It looks really nice and does what it says it does. But I'm not sure that I'd go for a bottomless portafilter again, I'm still trying to figure out how not to get it spitting. Can get messy.

              @ozbloke2: Thanks @ozbloke2, as you said not sure if I want to deal with “issues” from the flow through a bottomless. To be honest, I’ve been happy with the taste after dialling in my beans. But the videos of a perfect pour do look so nice though 😀

      • blonky on 24/11/2024 - 17:24

        Bought the pesado 18g single walled (non-pressurised) basket
        Breville smart grinder

        Beans from coffee roasters (never supermarket); you know they are good when the beans only have a ~1 month best-before rather than 1 year from the roast date

        • rumblytangara on 24/11/2024 - 17:49

          I've never even looked to see if there's a "best before" date on beans.

          Just look for a roast date.

            @rumblytangara: Yep, roast date is the all important factor. Beans are at maximum flavour between 1-4 weeks after roast date. You can freeze beans to ‘stall’ its expiry from roast date.

        • Skumzy on 25/11/2024 - 00:44

          I believe the Aldi Lazzio beans have the roast date printed on the pack. Depending on stock you can sometimes find them 1-2 weeks after roast date.

    • MaxTravels on 25/11/2024 - 13:48

    Bought a plus used from marketplace, not sure if it was me or just the machine, but I could not get a consistent shot for the life of me.

    Tried every trick in the book, bought a nice manual grinder specifically for espresso with heaps of steps, used a bottomless portafilter, tried freshly roasted and supermarket beans, weighted each shot to the 0.1g….. no go.

    Not buying coffee machines from marketplace ever again.

    • voo123 on 24/11/2024 - 19:33

      Consistency depends on many factors. Grinder, tamping, freshness of beans, dose. Have you tried a reputable grinder?

      • TEER3X on 24/11/2024 - 20:56

        Was using a 1Zpresso JX-Pro Hand Grinder, pretty reputable… Also was using a wdt tool.

    Brilliant price. The plus is awesome if you don't care too much about milk frothing being 100% perfect. Set and forget while you do other things in the kitchen.

    Last time I saw this price level was 2022 march, which I posted a deal.

    So mine is now 2.5 years old, time to replace or stock as spare? Anyone had theirs longer than 3 years and still working?

    I ask cos I don’t see it at this price level anytime soon again.

    • rumblytangara on 24/11/2024 - 21:17

      Wow, we've really been taught to expect disposable appliances if people expect coffee makers to blow up after 3 years.

      • syswong on 24/11/2024 - 22:05

        It really depends on your luck, if you are in the breville group, you will see how people complain their machine breaks and RMA multiple times, happen to all model, from Bambino to Oracle Touch.

        I simply want to know if there are many failures at the three year mark, if so then now seems a good price to stock a spare.

        • dlovep on 25/11/2024 - 08:23

          I guess it depends on usage rather than time, some might break within a year if you serve coffee daily for families vs only yourself. Literally anything anyway.

  • bb22 on 24/11/2024 - 22:05

    What is the difference between Bambino and Bambino Plus?

    • syswong on 24/11/2024 - 22:10

      Bambino plus has 3 way solenoid and keeps your puck dry, automatic Mille steamer with temperature and foam control.

    Very good price for both. I have the plus and it is a huge step up from the old Aeropress. Still learning the ins-and-outs, but really does make some great coffee. Paired with a DF54 grinder. I do recommend getting an aftermarket tamper though. The Breville one is a bit on the cheap side.

    Fantastic compact machines that pull great shots with the right beans and grind settings. Paired with a tweaked Breville Smart Grinder Pro it's a rock solid mid tier set up.

    The thermal system it has allows instance use, you don't need to wait for the machine to heat up.

    Paid around the $499 mark for the Bambino Plus via a Good Guys special in 2022.

    The drip tray on the Plus isn't deep and must be emptied after 3 or so coffees, probably the only obvious downside to the machine but can be worked around with some attention.

    You are prompted for various maintenance modes(descaling,etc) via the button panels which can get in the way but I believe can be manually overriden.

    Great deal!

    • syswong on 25/11/2024 - 08:50
      +1

      The drip tray leak for some version when using the pressurised basket, not with the signal wall. Not sure if yours had this fixed.

      The descaling warning you can ignore but button 1 and 3 will keep blinking every time you power up. Clean warning you can’t bypass, at least not the model in the past few years.

      If you are in east coast, the gang in breville group say you can just use water to get through the descaling cycle and actual descales every quarter as our water is soft. Cleaning cycles I only put tablet in every two cleaning cycle as half my brew was to warm up the group head portafilter

  • sanur on 25/11/2024 - 08:45

    Is this worth upgrading too from the similarly shaped smegs?

  • tightm8 on 25/11/2024 - 08:53

    My dual boiler is on its last leg, had it for 8 years, i only drink espresso (i.e. don't need much milk frothing other than guests), is this a good option?

    • syswong on 25/11/2024 - 09:40

      Dual boiler give you much more control of your shot. If you are anal of how you espresso come out, I suggest to get a dual boiler replacement.

      Bambino and Bambino plus while its great, there is very little control except the brewing time. It is design for people who want a quick and simple coffee and don't want to dial in too mu h option.
