I saw it's also the same price at QVC:

if you pull the wand out and press the single shot + milk texture buttons at the same time it will start dispensing hot water.
Yep, and the suggested mods (required if you talk to coffee turbo nerds (I am totally stealing that BTW! LOL) will put the price well above this.

For anyone that wants to be able to fix their own machines when they inevitably die, you may want to steer clear of Breville. They are notoriously built for "one use" only, meaning they have proprietary screws and parts and are built in such a way as to intentionally keep you out and keep you from replacing what is probably a very inexpensive part.

As someone who has taken apart two different, VERY complex superautos, and rebuilt, I definitely frown on this practice. It's wasteful for one, and anti-consumer for another. Gaggias and their ilk are great IMO not because they produce any better shots than this would, but for that primary reason.
Good to see this little machine on sale. I have one and it's quite capable of producing excellent espresso, not to mention the wonderful automatic steaming function. I love it.

People say this but I've never once seen one in years of shopping at Marshall's/Ross/home goods. Very very YMMV!

Ya I will sometimes see a post on reddit in the r/espresso sub and have no clue how the machines are distributed to stores. I have seen Breville toasters though.

True but they are on backorder. I ordered the black truffle and it's showing February as the delivery date.

In for one for my college daugher paired with Turin DF64E Grinder - Single Dosing & Electronic Dosing - OPEN BOX from Espresso Outlet. I had points on Amazon Chase Card so this popped up at the right time.

I have gotten, I believe 6 or 7 other households into Espresso with the Bambino Plus when they pop up on a SlickDeal.. For beginners who like lattees, this may be the best starter machine setups imo...according to many reviews as well.

I started my espresso journey with the SlickDeal Refurb Breville Duo Temp and a refurb Smart Grinder Pro and have evolved to the Dual Boiler with a DF64 and can not say anything negative about the Breville experiences...although I have read about some negative experiences.

NOTE: If you want to keep your machine working well, set up a cleaning/descale schedule at least every 2 months... You can not overly descale. Also WATER is SO IMPORTANT. Read up. Your water can be an issue with any espresso machine functionality after months of use. I now use distilled water plus Third Wave Water Mineral Enhanced Flavor Optimizing Coffee Brewing Water, Espresso Profile. There are other water options, however this one works for me. YMMV with the water you have. If you put an espresso cleaning schedule in your calendar to clean your machine as needed you should not, or minimize, any problems you possible could have down the road. Enjoy your espresso journey...This 2 cents was made between my morning lattees.

Not a bad little machine at all. Have used it for a few days and it'squite capable. I'm going to return it though. The quality of shots and steamed milk are basically no different from the used DeLonghi I purchased a decade ago (for $10). 😉☕️

Quote from ruffrhyno :
Is the larger pro model worth the additional money on sale from yesterday? Especially considering you would have to buy a grinder with this which adds to the cost
This is an excellent machine. It brews espresso well and it switches between brew mode and steam mode very rapidly.

The fact that it doesn't grind beans is a plus. It's a little hard to explain, but: With espresso, the grind is EVERYTHING. There is no paper filter, so it's the grind itself which controls the extraction. You need the coffee beans ground very finely AND uniformly. If they aren't uniform, the high pressure water creates cracks in the coffee pucks, and the water flows rapidly through these channels. This causes very bitter espresso.

Tons of YouTube's explain this, but in short: Buy the best grinder you can, and buy a scale. Only use fresh beans which have been roasted 5 to 21 days ago. Weigh 17 grams of beans, grind them, and brew. The result should be 2x (34 g) in 25-30 seconds. Adjust your grind until you reach this; now your beans are "dialed in".
