The wall filler basket is too tightly imbedded in the Portafilter.
1 out of 5 stars
Chris - 22 days ago

My wife gave me the espresso machine as a gift. While it seems like it might be great machine, I wanted to reach out to you as I found that the single wall filter basket was so tightly inserted into the portafilter that it took me more 5 minutes to open it with a knife. I do understand that the basket needs to have a snug fit, but not as jammed in as it must have been. This is obviously not going to be practical going forward. Could you send me a portafilter which has been sized to more easily enable the wall filter water baskets to be taken in and out? If you could do so, I'll take off the low rating here, and move you up to what I would expect to be a 5 as best I can tell is the attractiveness of the rest of the machine. In general, I prefer not to post any negative reviews, but my inability to find any customer care contact information on your website has given me no alternative as I would like to a good replacement part so as to be able to use a workable machine. Please help.

Great Coffee... for a Year

I bought my first Breville Bambino two years ago. After 11 months it completely stopped working out of nowhere. I ended up getting sent a new machine. The replacement machine worked for 12 months and now it will no longer pull two shots. (It still pulls one shot just fine.) The machine makes great espresso when it works, it just appears that these machines don't last more than one year. That being said, I don't think it's worth the money.

I bought this Machine a week ago, took it out of the packaging and everything feels like low quality plastic equipment. The steam wand leaks water into the milk resulting in watered down milk. You can’t put the Portafilter into the machine without basically manhandling it practically almost breaking it. Another downside to the machine is it’s very pricey with needing to purchase a grinder as-well if you don’t already own one. As a former barista I would not recommend this machine.

Great machine, would highly recommend. Very easy to use and setup for various types of beans. Heats up fast outputs great espresso. Would recommend a better tamper as the one that is included is smaller than the basket dimensions and not good quality.
Awesome

Took the money jump to a more powerful espresso machine and I am so far pleased with it. It is a manual frother which I prefer. The tightness of removing the porta filter is a little daunting but I assume it will loosen up a tad with use. The water tank is a lot easier to use than the Cafe Roma by far. Having the double set of baskets is a bonus. I would definitely recommend this machine for us “budget but want a treat for ourselves” people.

Wish I bought this sooner! It's a great machine overall as it's simple and quick to use. I love that the water tank is a good size so I don't have to fill the water too often even though I use the machine multiple times per day. It is a little loud but it's quick. I have a coffee grinder so I always use freshly ground espresso and it turns out great. I just wish it produced slightly larger/longer shots but it could be my technique. It's also easy to clean and doesn't take up too much room on the counter. Would recommend and am glad to be able to make my coffee at home - this is a money saver.
Good Machine Overall, Small Leak

I have had this machine for almost a year now, and I use it almost every day. It works great for a simple espresso shot. Just recently, however, I got a leak in the water container right where the seam of the plastic is. It is very small but it continuously leaks out so I have to dump and refill the water each time I use it. I also have to wipe up the leak every time. I am hoping to get this replaced since it's only been a year and it is a little annoying.
Love it!

The Breville Bambino makes a great espresso extraction with a little practice. I’ve never been a barista, so I have zero experience making espresso or espresso-based drinks. Read the manual, watch the videos, and allow yourself a few times to practice to get the extraction right….and once you get the hang of it, it makes a fantastic espresso shot! I have a small kitchen, so love that it has a small footprint. After a few weeks I think it’s already paid itself off from my previous daily coffee shop purchases 🫣🤭

This machine is the perfect size and good-looking in my small kitchen; one thing, is that its SOO loud (even the frother) but other than that it gets the job done.

I purchased this three times from target (twice online &once in store) and each time something was missing from the box or I received a used one. Would not recommend buying this from target, still trying to get my money back.

Overall it’s easy to use but the water doesn’t get very hot, you can’t get precise measurements and the timing is all Over the place. If I could start over I’d spend the money on a nicer machine but this will Do for now

The portafilter does not lock in smoothly. The whole machine moves around and it is nearly impossible to lock it in. Totally killed my arm/shoulder every time. Really wanted to love it but had to return it after 3 miserable weeks.

I am a professional barista and this machine simply doesn't work. The double shot filter baskets only pull one shot and it holds very little coffee. I use a fine espresso grind which seems to be too much for the machine to handle. Definitely not worth the price.
