Breville Bambino Plus - Domestic Espresso Machine with Automatic MilQ Frothing

Specialty Espresso with Automatic Milk Frothing, Ready in 3 Seconds

The Breville Bambino Plus takes all the technical foundations of the Bambino—3-second ThermoJet readiness, 54mm portafilter, PID control—and adds the automatic Auto MilQ steam wand. It produces the silky microfoam essential for latte art without manual intervention, with three temperature settings and three texture levels.

What Sets It Apart

The Auto MilQ wand is the main differentiating feature of the Bambino Plus. It activates, froths milk, and stops automatically—the result is consistent, regardless of your frothing experience. Its microfoam contains at least one million microbubbles per milliliter, the density required to create true designs on your latte.

For those who want to progress to traditional frothing, the manual steam mode remains available—the same device supports you at two learning levels.

Daily Use

The Bambino Plus is designed for those who want barista-quality results without mastering all the techniques. Select the milk temperature and texture, place the pitcher under the wand, and press the button. The machine takes care of the rest—every time, with the same consistency.

Its 1.9-liter reservoir (larger than the Bambino's 1.4 L) reduces the frequency of refills for busy households or small offices preparing multiple drinks per day.

Who It's For / Not For

Ideal for:

• Latte, cappuccino, and flat white lovers who want consistent results without frothing technique
• Those new to specialty coffee who want to progress to manual frothing at their own pace
• Households that mainly prepare milk-based drinks and want a compact yet high-performance machine

Less suitable for:

• Those who want to grind and extract in a single machine without a separate grinder (check out the Breville Barista Express)
• Experienced baristas looking for complete control over every aspect of manual frothing

Positioning

In the range of compact home espresso machines with integrated frothing between $400 and $700, the Bambino Plus is the natural step up from the Bambino for milk drink enthusiasts. It offers the most complete progression in the entry-level Breville range: automatic frothing from the start, manual frothing available as soon as you want to progress.
