I don't know if it's legit or not, and since I've not been able to try the discount code at any step prior to giving them my credit card information, I'm not willing to risk it to find out. If you actually bought one at that price, please let us know. If so, that seems like a great price to me.

You should be able to enter the coupon before putting any information in - it let me, and showed the discount in my cart before checkout. I ordered one, I figure worst case I just have the hassle of filling a PayPal claim.
Yup, this seems to be the lowest price for the Bambino plus and the company seems legit though lots of complaints about the customer service - just like the last person, I figured it's just me filling out a PayPal claim if things go south - I bought one - thanks OP
They're totally legit. They used to be primarily a recipe site, but then used those to sell cooking equipment. They've even got a partnership with a popular CB site.
I don't understand the question. Bambino Plus vs Barista Pro? I don't see the Pro listed on this website (or you're shopping somewhere else?).
Max value is the Bambino Plus IMO (I was also cross-shopping the Barista Pro and the Bambino Plus), with a decent grinder. If you don't have a decent grinder and don't want to buy one now, I would go with the Pro.
I came very close to pulling trigger on a Pro before the Bambino line came out, and that messed up my math.
I would also say that if having to hold onto the machine while you manipulate and make your espresso bothers you, due to how small and light it is, I would go for the much more substantial Pro.
I was contemplating the same - Bambino Plus vs the Barista Pro - especially with the deal a few days back at Bloomingdale's - the pro itself was 20% off and the chase card with an additional 20% (max 83$) plus tcb's 10% - if you do the math on the pro, it's about 175$ more than this deal with the Bambino plus and a decent grinder will cost about that much - there's a lot of coffee snobs who say the Bambino plus is better if you pair it with a very good grinder - and, just checking on those grinder prices - each is about 300$ - so, I decided to go with the pro just because it has a better grinder than the express and I don't think I'm going to get to the level of snobbiness for me to figure out the difference between a coffee grind from a sub 200$ grinder vs the high end one's for at least another 3 years
The Bambino Plus is exceptional. It has a new heating system which is a huge improvement over, switching between brewing and steaming modes in just a few seconds. That's a very big deal. The heating system is also used in the Barista Pro.
Of course, you need a separate grinder. A Sette 270 is much better than the grinder in the Barista Pro, which is why I think the Bambino route is much better. The grinder is ultra-important in making espresso. You could also choose the DF64 grinder, which is even better than the Sette.
That's just a Nespresso machine. An expensive one at that. The Bambino Plus with a Sette or a DF64 grinder will produce infinitely better espresso and cappuccino than any Nespresso.
