Best praise vs top criticism for Breville Bambino
“If you want a bean to cup machine, check over in r/superautomatic. Otherwise, you should consider getting a grinder and a machine, a combo like a Breville Bambino and a Baratza Encore ESP would be a good set.”
“Generally the advice you'll get is to avoid the built I grinder, you'll get more bang for your buck and avoid issues if your grinder or machine have issues separately down the road. Combos like the Breville Bambino (reg or plus) and the DF 54 or Baratza Encore ESP would be worth considering. If the built in is an absolute requirement, then the Express is probably your best bet.”
