I went to Marshall’s today and I saw that they have some breville products (like they always do).I said “ Maybe one day I’d be so lucky to find an espresso machine” (like I do every time I go to Marshall’s). But this time, right after I said that, I saw one sitting underneath a nutribullet.
I was contemplating it because it’s still $350. Someone came up to it but it looked like she was looking at the nutribullet. So, I grabbed the bambino and put it in the cart, just to be safe. I know the regular bambino is $300 and this one (the bambino plus) is $350. I really had to determine if it was really worth it. I saw mixed reviews on Reddit about if it was worth the difference or not. But since it’s $350, instead of almost $500 and only $50 more than the regular one, I decided to get it.
I’m glad I got it. Compared to my delonghi espresso machine, I got a way better pull. The latte I made was delicious and better than any latte I’ve had in a while. I never knew how to make latte art and I’m not sure if it has a good frother for it, but it’s good enough for me. It’s kind of nice to have a change with automatic functions instead of manual. The only thing I wish the bambino had that delonghi has is better grip on the bottom of the machine. The bambino slides too much.
I’m happy, definitely an upgrade from the machine I’ve had for the past 2 years. Also I’m always really happy to find some of my favorite monin syrups at Marshall’s. I also signed up for their credit card and got an additional $38 off so I basically got it for $312. I wish I had a picture to show you guys my espresso pull or the latte I made but the storage on my phone is full and I couldn’t wait to drink the first drink I made.

Awesome choice you will love it
Is this a Marshall’s advertisement lol?
Try putting a rubber mat under the Bambino to keep it from sliding around…
Congrats! I got my bambino at TJMAxx for $245 (new) but it was in 2023😊
It was
That’s a steal if it’s brand new!
I just saw the regular Bambino at Home Goods for $239!
Love my bambino plus and paid more than that a few years ago – enjoy!
I love my bambino plus. Paired it up with a df54 grinder. I’m a happy man
Absolute STEAL! It’s a great machine at full price
Bambino plus rocks I love it
Bought my bambino plus at TJMaxx 3 years ago and still love it. Upgraded my grinder since then, but I will be running this machine to the ground. – Congrats and enjoy!
Got my Barista Pro at TJ for $499. Great deals are those stores! Don’t forget to register it! Sometimes they give a free gift during registration
That lavender monin is probably one of my most favorite food stuff on earth.
It’s a great little machine, highly recommend using some of the money you saved to get a bottomless portafilter and puck prep accessories (but keep the Breville basket and use it in the new portafilter)
Which delonghi did you have before this?
hey im getting into espresso ecept for a varia vs3 what else would you guys reccomend in that price range for a starter grinder?
I just bought the same one at Home Goods. They had Bambino for $239, too. Went with plus as my daughter was a barista in college & thought she’d be able to take advantage of the upgrades. I don’t even like coffee, so this is all for my coffee obsessed family. It’s replacing a delonghi.
