Super quick warmup time.
Community generally agrees that the grinder is decent.
This is pretty much the best option you can get for under $1000.
I have one and love it. Am I already ready to upgrade? yes — but I'm also not ready to shell out thousands of dollars into a flaming money pit either.
Year over year I re-assert that decision.
I don't have the mustache and suspenders to merit the more expensive grinder / boilers.

I ended up deciding that I didn't really like coffee anymore so I returned it but it was a little hard after saving over 25% off the original price.
The touch was awesome though once you spend a few hours dialing everything in. If I ever decide to come back to coffee I'll definitely grab one of these again.
If you get the Bambino along with a decent grinder that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, you'll eventually get the most out of it and won't feel the need to upgrade for a long time. But if you go with the BBE, once your palate develops, you'll likely grow out of it, and realize that, at some point, some mustache/suspenders folks probably tried to warn you.

What would be a step up machine from here

That's a contentious topic! That machine is the new kid on the block. Lotta bells and whistles
You should check out the Hoffman video on YouTube about it
I like Ninja products in general, but if you want a simple, solid espresso machine all in one, the Breville has been a favorite for years for a reason
"$100 Star Money"? Great. Redeem it for a coupon to your next divorce or a set of Macy's towels that'll outlast your marriage. I'd wait for a Prime Day deal on the Pro, or buy the Touch from this deal if you really need Macy's towels with the Star Money. The 250$ difference is worth it.
PS: Bambino Plus is also Thermojet, much respect out to the mustache/suspenders folks.
