Pros and cons
According to our semi-automatic espresso machine expert
- It's easier to froth milk than with other piston machines, because the steam wand does this fully automatically.
- The piston machine takes up less space on your countertop than other piston machines, thanks to its small size.
- Thanks to the built-in temperature controls, your coffee doesn't burn and it tastes well.
- Without a bean grinder, you can't grind coffee beans yourself, so you have to purchase it separately.
Description
With the Sage the Bambino Plus Stainless Steel, you get a high-quality and compact espresso machine without any fuss. The stainless steel steam wand automatically froths the milk when you place it in a pitcher of fresh milk. You can choose from 3 temperature settings to heat the milk. You can also adjust the thickness of the milk foam by choosing from the 3 settings. The built-in PID temperature control ensures a constant brewing temperature. This way, you know for sure the coffee won't burn and your cup of coffee will be tasty. You can brew 1 or 2 cups of coffee at the same time with the useful control buttons. Thanks to the cleaning indicator, you know exactly when the machine needs a thorough clean.
Note: it takes time and patience to learn how to prepare a tasty coffee with a piston machine. This is a lot less easy as with a fully automatic espresso machine.
Tip: don't forget to purchase a separate coffee grinder to brew coffee from freshly ground beans.

You have to pay for delicious coffee.
- Large water reservoir
- Compact design
- Solid build quality
- Milk foam not consistent
Very happy with the device so far. Month in use.
Delicious coffee. The most important thing is to discover the right amount of coffee and fineness of the grind. For a double shot of espresso 15mg. Resulting in a delicious espresso with a beautiful, full crema layer.
Appearance of the machine is sleek and minimalist. Looks and feels professional.
The machine has a large water tank, especially considering the overall size of the machine. Another big advantage is that the device comes standard with a scale filter. This is important given that Dutch tap water contains a lot of lime.
The build of the device feels solid and exudes quality.
The milk frother works with a sensor that should ensure that you have the perfect milk foam for your cappuccino or latte every time. Unfortunately, this is different in practice. Milk jug in the same place every time, equally cold milk .. but a smaller amount but finer, other times coarser but larger amount of milk foam. Can't figure out what is causing this inconsistency.
Self-cleaning milk system offers a solution. After all, a clean device is important for its lifespan. But keep in mind that you have to empty and clean the slightly small drip tray every two days.
Noise level is average. While the espresso is brewing, the stainless steel grid resonates on the drip tray. But that is no different with other devices. (Speaking from experience)
In short, no 'press the button' coffee. But you have to pay something for delicious coffee. This device makes you a barista.

Good device that is properly built
- Works simply (semi) automatically
- Can also be used completely manually
- Many accessories included
- First start up you have to read carefully.
I like the option for fully manual operation, both for the dosage and the frothing of the milk.

Use mastered? Very nice machine!
- Good coffee
- Very complete
- Compact device
- You have to measure coffee very accurately
It really is a nice compact device. Milk frother works well. Making coffee is just a puzzle. The grind of the beans is very close. If that is not correct, the coffee will not flow properly. So you have to be an enthusiast and willing to put in some effort.
