Sage SES500BSS Bambino Plus Espresso Maker, 1600 W, Stainless Steel

Phenomenal machine and great value. It’s the UK version of the Breville Bambino so if you’re using it in the US you need a step up/down transformer and then it’ll work exactly as intended. I highly recommend this machine to anyone looking for an easy to make barista quality cup of coffee.

Beware of this pricey espresso maker. I am now on my third machine going into my second year from purchase. Customer service the first time was understanding and replaced immediately. It malfunctions after the cleaning cycle and does not reset. I was was surprised to have it happen again with the second machine. Same exact problem! This time with customer service it took two weeks and multiple calls explaining the problem for them to agree to have it sent for evaluation. They didn’t believe I was following the manual. The repair department deemed it “not functioning” and a new one was sent. I did check several Breville Bambino forums and have found this is a common problem as well as other issues. I’m surprised they haven’t taken it off the market if I and others are needing multiple replacements. Buy something else!
