They have different heating elements. Barista Express has the older generation, and Pro, Touch, and Bambino Plus all have newer generation that heats much faster. To me that is the core element of an espresso machine and difference is well worth $100.

I almost bought one of the machines that have built-in grinder but then advised by people that the built-in grinders are barely OK (even on the $2700 Oracle Touch) and I'd better go with a simple machine with a separate grinder. Some even suggested that one should spend more on the grinder than the espresso machine. I'm not sure if I'll go that far but I'm buying Bambino Plus now and still looking for a good grinder. I've heard many people suggesting DF64.

I got the Pro for about $500 from BBB in November. I think it was worth the money. It was my first espresso machine (well, still is since I still use it). But while the default capabilities are fine, I needed to do a lot of research and buy a few things to make it truly great.

1) Buy a better basket (I use the 18-22g IMS basket): ~$35
2) Set the burrs to a finer setting in the grinder; this shifts the entire range of the grinder settings down; FREE
3) Buy a bottomless portafilter to diagnose shots ~$35-50 for a cheap one
4) Buy a scale to weigh shots ~$20+
5) Buy a better tamper (there's one made for 54mm IMS baskets on Amazon which is perfect): $35+
6) Get a WDT tool $5-35

Then watch some videos. You'll be making great espresso in no time.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to switch the auto steamer on the Plus to a manual?
somehow?

Even if it means taking it apart, I'm fine with that, it would be easier to decide if I knew I wouldn't have to buy a whole new machine to do manual steaming.
Thanks in advance if anyone can answer.

Yes, you just operate the steam function while the wand is in the up position.

In the past you could get 20% off the brevilles on sale @BBB with Beyond+. I'm still waiting for my Bambino Plus order, backordered since December at BBB for $300+tax. I almost had enough saved for an even better machine until a recent emergency 😢
The 20% is still available, I just used it

Add item to Cart. Go to cart. Should be a in-page banner to add Beyond+ for 20% off - press that. You should now have 2 items in your cart with the 20% already deducted.

I would guess you could also buy Beyond+ first and "hope" you get a special 20% coupon on the next purchase? A bit risky though.

Worked for me (didn't actually check out though). Bambino Plus is OOS though.

I bought the barista express in Dec 2019 just before the pandemic when they raised the price. I use it pretty much daily and it's been great for me. Just make sure you clean it regularly and don't wait for the cleaning light to come on. I struggle sometimes to dial in and after a cleaning cycle I realize it's so much easier. I highly recommend this for someone that's serious about their coffee but doesn't want to break the bank.
I can't stress enough the importance of getting good beans! If you can afford it, your local coffee shop should have some fresh roasted beans it makes a world of a difference.

Right now I have a Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista (https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Coffee-...B007K9OIMU) and a Baratza Encore Grinder. Would I see a better result with the Bambino or would it be overkill because of the grinder?

If you're happy with the phillips, I wouldn't do it. I have the breville barista touch and as much as I love it, I only use it on the weekends as it takes me twice or 3x as long to make espresso as my nespresso machine. When you're in a rush, the phillips most definitely excels. But if you want more customization and more control, this is where the breville machines excel.

Picked up a refurbished barista express 5 years ago. Best coffee investment I think I've ever made.
My first machine was a BBE. Great starter machine that opened the world of espresso to me. I would happily buy it all over again and make my own espresso-based drinks as opposed to buying from Starbucks or other cafe. The BBE is capable of some great shots and the money savings has the machine paying for itself in a short amount of time.

Just ordered the Barista Touch Expresso from BBB for $720 after 20% coupon. I was waiting for a deal on this machine to use my new cc which has an offer of $200 off a $500 purchase. Thanks OP!
