This model has one or two less features than the more expensive "Plus" version. However some claim they like it better, for having less features. Even though they still probably love the other model too.
Here's a YouTube video comparing the two. The following YouTube link jumps directly to his conclusion part, where the reviewer seems to prefer the "plain" and less expensive Bambino model, for himself. (i.e. the model featured in my deal post)

This other guy even claims the more expensive "Plus" version is one of the (quote) "best machines in the world".
Code:
https://coffeegeek.com/opinions/state-of-coffee/the-best-espresso-machine/
from his article: "With all these factors in mind, there's two machines that I think stand out as the best machines in the world, in the consumer espresso space.
One is the Lelit Bianca V3 espresso machine. The other may surprise you. It's the Breville Bambino Plus."


...With him saying THAT, and others saying roughly, "Yes, but personally I prefer the simpler, cheaper, plain 'Bambino' version", I'm guessing this standard Bambino model is probably a great home espresso solution for the price.

Noob here for home espresso. Been using the Casabrew 3700 for a year now, make a decent shot, my opinion of course. Anyone upgraded from a $100 espresso machine to this have any advice? Worth double the price? Noticeable difference?

I cannot speak to your machine or this one but I do use a more expensive Breville with built in grinder and upgraded from a cheapy sub-$100 machine. I get more consistent coffee from the Breville and it does taste better.

It's all about the grind and quality beans. The espresso machine isn't doing that much work. Look up reviews of the $50 Aldi espresso machine paired with a $1000 grinder. It pulls a pretty good shot.

That said, we have a bambino plus paired with a bratza encore esp and we love it. Thinking of picking this up. Thanks OP
