It is your responsibility to do the task of filling the jug container with your chosen milk, but it's still simpler than manually frothing. The machine mixes the milk with air at high speed in a frothing chamber that is round before pouring it into the mug.

It's recommended that you rinse the drip tray on a regular basis and wash the brewing group weekly, and descale it every several months or so, depending on the level of hardness in your water. 2.

Its single-boiler design allows it to heat quickly, so that you can begin making espresso in less than 3 seconds. This is an advantage over traditional espresso machines, which can take as long as 10 seconds to reach the correct temperature. The Bambino Plus has a feature that regulates the extraction process. This stops water from getting into the coffee grinds, altering the taste or texture. It can also create microfoam to be used in latte art and other drinks with a speciality. This is made possible through the manual steam wand which can reach temperatures as high as to 266 degrees Fahrenheit. While this is not quite as high as other professional machines, it is sufficient to produce delicious, smooth foam for your drinks.

This can be a problem for some buyers, but it is an advantage for those who would like to pair the Bambino Plus with a separate grinder of high quality. Although it doesn't have the same features as top-rated models, such as the Gaggia Classic Pro and Rancilio Silvia, it offers the best value for budget.
