A calmer morning routine
I enjoy making a latte before starting work. The milk settings make it easier to repeat the texture I like.

Worth learning the basics
My first few shots needed adjustment. Paying more attention to the grind and tamp helped me get results I preferred.

A little weekend ritual
Making flat whites at home has become part of our slow weekend mornings. I also enjoy practising my pouring technique.

A welcome addition to breakfast
I like having a dedicated coffee corner without a large machine taking over the counter. Cleaning up is now part of my daily routine.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST BREW
Good questions.
Great coffee.
A few things to know before you make
room for your new ritual.
Does it automatically texture milk?
Yes. The Bambino® Plus automatically textures milk, with
three temperature settings and three texture levels.
You can also texture milk manually.
What does the 3-second heat-up mean?
The ThermoJet® heating system reaches its optimum extraction
temperature in three seconds. Grinding, dosing, tamping and
brewing take additional time.
Can I make single and double shots?
Yes. Dedicated one-cup and two-cup buttons let you select
a single or double shot.
Can I practise latte art?
Yes. The steam wand creates microfoam suitable for latte art.
Your pouring technique and milk texture will affect the result,
so allow time to practise.
What size portafilter does it use?
The Bambino® Plus uses a 54 mm stainless steel portafilter.
Will it fit in my kitchen?
Its compact design suits smaller counter spaces. Compare the
dimensions for your local model with your available space,
allowing access to the water tank and room to use the steam wand.
