![]() All three espresso blends we used pulled well on this machine, with the occasional shot offering a bit of nuance beyond a slightly earthy, dark-chocolate profile. That’s a good indication that the Bambino Plus can maintain the same amount of pressure every time you pull a shot, meaning you can count on pretty consistent results once you settle on the dose and fineness of your ground coffee. I was able to get the same volume repeatedly, even during subsequent test sessions. After pulling a couple of full-bodied shots at a grind I was comfortable with, I was able to reset the double-shot program to pull just under 2 ounces in 30 seconds-ideal parameters for a good shot of espresso. Figuring out the ideal grind size to use on this machine was relatively easy, requiring only a few minutes of tinkering. The Bambino Plus has automatic presets for single and double shots, but you’ll want to program them to your specifications. So even though they’re convenient, super-automatic models aren’t the best choice if you’re actually interested in learning how to make good espresso, rather than just drinking it. But they don’t offer much room for experimentation, and they’re often quite pricey.
