I have this machine and have loved it, but recommend a separate grinder and machine combo just so you can upgrade one in the future. I'd say get a breville bambino (or bambino plus if you will mostly be drinking lattes) and a turin df54 or df64 grinder. That combo would probably be around the same price. The grinder will take a few weeks to be delivered so keep that in mind. Happy espresso-ing!

How do you get such perfect milk texture on a bambino? I feel like the steam force is completely random, so I can never get a consistent result. Some days it’s perfect other days it’s unusable for art
