How to Choose the Best Breville Espresso Machine For You

If you're taking baby steps into the world of specialty coffee, the Breville Bambino Plus Stainless Steel Espresso Maker ($500) is a great place to start. Its compact footprint takes up little space, it boots up in three seconds, and it creates a great shot of espresso. And, of course, the steam wand gives you opportunities to practice making flawless foam. You'll need a separate grinder for your beans, but this entry-level machine is more than capable of working magic with them.
