Have this since 2019. Using daily (2x per day).High level: will make you great coffee beverages while saving you thousands of $$ IF you learn few quirks. (min 3000 beverages in this timeframe)Pro:- great taste beverages even if you just use factory presets (I strongly recommend with time that you try various coffees and grinds to see what fits you as well as the tamp pressure you need to apply and extract time)- starts fast and easy to operate (will beat the more expensive full automatics in extract quality as well as milk frothing and ease of cleaning)- big water reservoir and cleans easy- small footprint- high end beverages after you find out what coffee/grind size/milk type fits you and do all manualBad:- drip tray way too small and needs rinsing frequently- cleaning reminder (the 200 beverages one) malfunctioned after about 2-3 years, it always shows I need to perform a cleaning cycle even after I run it (no biggie, you just have to remember to run that cycle ever couple of months or so)- should be $100 cheaper

1.0 out of 5 stars Most frustratingly temperamental coffee machine EVER!
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2023
I’ve thought long and hard about how to articulate this review as clearly and truthfully as I can.

Ok, so I’m not predisposed to negative reviews but this overly expensive coffee machine is awful.

The most important part of this machine is the troubleshooting manual. Keep it to hand - you will need it!

The positives:

1. It will make a nice cup of coffee*
2. The cleaning capabilities for the wand are a good idea

The negatives:

1. True, it will make a nice cup of coffee…..IF

IF you use the EXACT amount of coffee in the filter basket
IF you don’t mind pressing the double cup 3 times to get a single espresso shot - even when you use the right amount and grind of coffee!
IF the coffee machine doesn’t randomly go into cleaning mode (which it does even before forcing a clean every 200 button presses)
IF you use ONLY the supplied milk jug. Using anything else causes the temperature sensor to fail, the steam will never stop and you milk will be boiled and overflow
IF the aforementioned milk jug is placed EXACTLY in the perfect position to get the best contact with the milk temperature sensor
2. As a practitioner of human centered design (making products intuitive and easy to use), I can tell you that this coffee machine is absolutely not easy to use. Too many failure modes, too many unintuitive error states and messages and good functionality ideas are executed poorly - example being the temperature sensor. It works but only IF you do 3 things perfectly first.

2. The need for a cleaning cycle is too frequent. We are having to perform a cleaning cycle every 2 weeks! (And we aren’t coffee monsters!)

3. Water wastage. The wand cleaning wastes SO MUCH water to perform. It could be done using much less

4. The wand cleaning cycle is really messy. IF you position the drip tray in the PERFECT position, you might not have to clean your machine and own clothes from the spray back coming from the wand

5. The wand cleaner is difficult to find, and beware! The sharp pin cover comes off really easily when you are unscrewing the wand tip. Have a bandaid to hand!

In summary, can this machine make coffee? Yes BUT it isn’t easy to use, is highly temperamental and definitely NOT worth the money.

…really wish I could get my money back…

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente cafetera.
Reviewed in Mexico on September 6, 2022
Desde hacía meses estaba buscando una cafetera nueva para sustituir una Krups Gusto. Vi de todos tipos, desde las Oster de gama baja hasta las DeLongi superautomáticas. Ninguna me convencía porque no quería gastarme un dineral pero también quería una cafetera que diera una buena experiencia del café.

La Bambino Plus cumple por mucho con su propósito. Entrega una taza bastante correcta, mejor que muchas cafeterías que no son de especialidad. La extracción es buena y la crema es consistente y duradera. La espuma de la leche es bastante buena y sedosa; ahora mismo estoy tratando de aprender arte latte.

La cafetera es sencilla de usar. Seleccionas carga sencilla o doble de expreso y la máquina hace el resto. El espumador se puede usar de forma manual pero la función automática trabaja bastante bien y puedes escoger la temperatura y textura de la leche.

Hay que jugar con la Bambino Plus los primeros días. Tienes que probar distintos tipos de molido hasta obtener el que buscas. Si es muy grueso, la extracción será pobre, aguada y sin crema. Si es demasiado fino entonces el agua no pasará porque la canastilla estará tapada. Con la leche es lo mismo: es importante probar con distintos tipos hasta encontrar la textura que buscas -la recomendación es que sea lo más entera posible y de preferencia esté fría-. Eso sí, la barita espumadora es bastante sensible. Si no la limpias al momento, la leche se seca muy rápido y tapa los orificios, que son realmente pequeños. Cuando notas que ya no espuma bien es momento de limpiarla a profundidad.

La caja incluye varios accesorios de muy buena calidad, desde un portafiltros robusto con cuatro canastillas distintas hasta el tamper y una herramienta para asegurarse que la dosis de café es la correcta. También viene con pastillas de limpieza y descalcificador.

Hasta ahora, el único punto negativo que encuentro es el precio. Aunque yo la encontré con descuento, se trata de cualquier forma de un gasto mayor. Ciertamente hay cafeteras que cuestan cuatro o cinco veces más y esta se encuentra en un rango intermedio de precios. Dependerá de la durabilidad del producto para saber si valió la pena.

Si no quieres gastar un dineral en una máquina profesional esta es tu mejor opción, al principio te costará tiempo adaptarte para encontrar el punto ideal de extracción, inicialmente recomiendo comprar accesorios del mercado secundario de buena calidad , por ejemplo,
Un filtro de mayor calidad
Un porta filtro desnudo
Un tamper
Un distribuidor de agujas
La idea es siempre ser constante en todos los procesos y eliminar las mayores variables posibles, una vez que dómines eso , todos tus café van a salir de maravilla , en lo personal no ocupo los botones automáticos, sólo dejo presionado el botón de una o dos tazas por aproximadamente ocho o 10 segundos para la pre infusión y una vez que lo suelto empieza el tiro y tengo extracciones correctas de 25 y 30 segundos, pero si o si debes tener un molino de buena calidad, en mi caso tengo un molino Breville grinder pro y tengo pensado adquirir un Barraza 270 wi , si no tienes un molino de buena calidad nunca vas a sacar un buen espresso, cabe señalar que un amigo tiene la gaggia classic pro y los dos hemos concluido que la Bambino plus definitivamente la supera en muchos aspectos
