Breville Bambino vs Bambino Plus vs Barista Express Impress

If you are deciding between the Breville Bambino, Breville Bambino Plus, and Breville Barista Express Impress, the choice mostly comes down to how much convenience you want in your daily espresso routine and how much space you want to give up on the counter. All three are Breville home espresso machines in brushed stainless steel, but they target slightly different buyers.

The Bambino is the simplest starting point for someone who wants a compact machine and does not mind a more hands-on setup around the rest of their coffee workflow. The Bambino Plus looks like the step-up pick for buyers who want the Bambino idea with a more premium feel. The Barista Express Impress is positioned as the more integrated option for shoppers who want grinding and espresso preparation to feel more combined in one machine.
