Sage Bambino Plus Espresso Machine

The Sage Bambino Plus is an espresso machine designed with convenience and quality in mind, perfect for those who love their latte or cappuccino but are often in a rush. It features a durable stainless steel exterior, available in classic brushed steel or black, adding a touch of elegance to any kitchen without occupying much space. Its drip tray is easy to clean, though its small size means frequent cleaning may be needed if you're making several coffees daily.

This machine offers both dual-wall, pressurized baskets for pre-ground coffee, producing a 'false crema,' and a single-wall basket for fine, freshly ground coffee, allowing for a thick crema and high-quality espresso shots. The Sage Bambino Plus is designed to cater to both beginners and experienced baristas with its manual and automated options, including single espresso, double espresso, and automatic milk texturing buttons, making coffee preparation a breeze.

Notably, the Bambino Plus features a low-pressure pre-infusion, which helps to evenly extract coffee, leading to a smoother taste. This sophisticated technology isn't typically found in low-cost espresso machines. It also includes an auto-purge feature for easy cleaning and a precision dose trimming tool to ensure the right amount of coffee in each shot.

Ease of use is a standout characteristic of the Bambino Plus. It heats up quickly, allowing you to select from a single shot, double shot, or initiate the steaming function with simple button presses. You can adjust milk temperature and foam to your liking, and the automatic milk frothing system produces smooth milk reminiscent of more expensive machines. Cleaning is straightforward with a large, easy-to-clean drip tray and descaling instructions printed on the water tank's interior for convenience.
