Product details

The Bambino Plus makes no compromises on the four key elements for perfect espresso: a 54 mm portafilter, 19 grams of coffee grounds for full flavor, and automatic milk frothing provide barista-level performance. With a 3-second heat-up time and consistent extraction, it delivers espresso just like from your favorite café. The automatic steam wand allows you to adjust the milk temperature and texture to your liking. This creates barista-quality microfoam that enhances the coffee aroma and is essential for latte art creations. The right amount of coffee grounds is the foundation for a balanced espresso. The 54 mm portafilter, with its capacity of 19 grams, is key to flavorful, balanced coffee at barista quality. Pre-infusion at low pressure moistens the coffee grounds, allowing the flavors to be better extracted. The subsequent increase in pressure to up to 9 bar allows the full aroma of the coffee to unfold. The digital temperature control (PID) keeps the water temperature consistent throughout the extraction process for a perfect result. The automatic flushing of the heating system after each coffee extraction ensures that the next espresso is also extracted at just the right temperature.
