Easy to use and easy to clean up. Compact attractive design fits nicely under the counter. The instruction manual is a series of videos on the app that you download from by scanning the code on the box and instructions are clear and easy to understand. It comes with regular coffee basket filters and double walled filters that the instructions say are better with store bought ground coffee. I use a high quality Italian ground and find the regular single walled basket (with more strainer holes) works best. Expresso is hot and the temperature of the milk and foam level is adjustable from warm to hot.

I assumed mine is a cup rack as it doesn't warm up. The manual does not label it as a warmer either. The portafilter issue of not delivering coffee from both holes is probably due to using too fine a grind of coffee. If the coffee grains are too fine and tampered too strongly it can restrict even water penetration through the coffee. Make sure you are not overfilling the portafilter with too much coffee. To check the flow is even go through the process of making a single or double espresso with an empty coffee basket. You should see even water pouring out of both holes. Also make sure the perforated plate the portafilter attaches to is clean and not covered in coffee grains. I have had the same problem as the coffee I ground was too fine. I hope this helps. Although this is a relatively expensive machine its functions are basic. **Q: Does the package include both dual and single wall baskets?** A: To add to the previous answers: you will find the single wall baskets inside the milk jug. They are not listed on the box. **Q: Pre set volume says 30ml 1 cup and 60ml 2 cups but first cup oit of either button always is less, why? This means when making 2 cups 1st pour is less** A: This sounds like a puzzle, try setting your own amounts bu holding the button down and releasing when YOUR preferred amount has been reached. The machine remembers for next time. **Q: Hello, is it normal that the flow is uneven with an empty single wall basket or it means the machine is faulty? right side flow is better than left.** A: Mine flows both sides the same. How does it flow with a double wall basket? Also - look at the flow with no basket at all. It might be the basket that is partially blocked? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Machine *by M***W on 18 April 2026* Great machine makes great coffee ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Espresso easy to use *by I***R on 11 December 2024* Makes a great cup of expresso and the automatic milk foam work works perfectly.

Really an impressive appliance! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good machine *by C***D on 29 January 2019* It is a simple though fairly expensive machine that has a two cup or single cup portafilter and has a steamer with variable milk temperature and frothiness. Water tank size is good, finish is good, heat up time almost instant, pretty easy to clean and looks good in the kitchen. A little bit annoying is the occasional tendency for the portafilter dual filter to detach from the portafilter body and stick to the underside of the machine after coffee is made, also when using the two cup filter the coffee always seems to pour more out of one side than the other. The main thing is that the finished coffee is good so it is still a good machine. Not sure why other reviewers refer to a grinder as it does not have one. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sage - The Bambino Plus - Compact Coffee Machine with Automatic Milk Frother, Brushed Stainless Steel - Sage - The Smart Grinder Pro - Conical Burr Coffee Grinder - Programmable, Automatic - 450g Coffee Bean Capacity, 60 Precise Grind Settings - Brushed Stainless Steel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/78131713-the-bambino-plus](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/78131713-the-bambino-plus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
