It's small, it's uncomplicated, and it pulls a shot that holds up against machines much larger than itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ThermoJet heating system reaches extraction temperature in three seconds, so the machine is usable almost immediately. Breville reports up to 32% less energy annually compared to a Thermoblock, which also means the kitchen isn't warming up every time the machine sits idle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bambino has no built-in grinder. That's intentional. The machine is designed to pair with a dedicated grinder of your choice, which is how most serious home setups eventually end up anyway. For anyone starting to build an espresso station piece by piece, the Bambino is the machine end of that workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small footprint that takes espresso seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 54mm stainless steel portafilter takes an 18g dose, with single and dual wall baskets for 1 and 2 cup shots. A 15 bar Italian pump drives extraction at 9 bar, with low-pressure pre-infusion to wet the puck first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steam wand is manual and built for microfoam. There's no automatic milk system here, and that's by design. If you're going to pull real espresso at home, you may as well learn the jug. The Bambino gives you a wand strong enough to reward the practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEntry-level pricing, real extraction.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermoJet heat-up in 3 seconds\u003c\/strong\u003e — Reaches optimal extraction temperature in three seconds.

Pull shots.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bambino heats in three seconds. Grind and dose on your grinder, tamp, lock into the 54mm portafilter, and pull. Extraction runs at 9 bar from the 15 bar pump, with low-pressure pre-infusion up front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilk steams through the manual wand. Texture the jug yourself. It takes a few sessions to learn the motion, and from there, the wand holds up for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machine is designed around the idea that grinding, tamping, and texturing are the barista's job. Breville handles heat, pressure, and pre-infusion. You handle the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for: For the home brewer ready to learn the full workflow.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bambino is for coffee drinkers who want to pull shots at home without over-investing on day one. It's the machine half of a setup where the other half is a grinder you already own or plan to buy soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's also a good fit for small kitchens, offices, and second-home coffee stations where a full-sized espresso machine is overkill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEvery spec Breville publishes.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions (W x D x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.25 x 13.5 x 12 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePortafilter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54mm stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDose capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeating system\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThermoJet, 3-second heat-up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePump\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 bar Italian, 9 bar extraction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePre-infusion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow-pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSteam wand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual, microfoam capable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShot control\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 shot, 2 shot, manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat ships with your Bambino.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer Breville.
