This is a Swiss brand with 100+ y history. Any one having experience with this one? Debating if I should pull the trigger or waiting for bambino plus… really like the pressure gauge feature here.

I have this machine. It's a great small footprint machine for a starter machine.

The Bambino plus does has the automatic milk steaming feature, which either you want or can live without.

As I read reviews on Amazon, it's made in China. Wondering whether it's from the same factory as Bambino.

Some commenters said Solis is owned by Breville.

Question: "What is the difference functionally with the Breville version of same setup?
SledgeJul 5, 2023

Best Answer: It's the same thing sold under a different brand. While Solis retains control of its products, the company is owned by Breville. So they are made in China like Breville."

I don't see that in their company history page, but if you look at the designs on Solis' website, they appear to be made in the same factory as Breville due to the design similarities. The fact that SCG is willing to sell them is a nod to them being good quality. They have a Barista Express knock-off on sale for $599 https://www.seattlecoffeegear.com...so-machine It's another case of why buy the re-branded item when it's just as expensive. Interesting that they added a digital timer to their version though.

I saw a lower priced machine at walmart that looks identical to the solis grind infuse...wondered if they are in fact identical?

seattle coffee gear has customers that buy stuff, and the item is not faulty, they're just like "nope not good enough" or "I don't like this or that feature back it goes!" It's what happens when rich people are not technical or gift buyers aren't on the same page with gift recipients

I kind of think they are all from the same factory. Different labels are put on based on different quality control standards.
