Sage Bambino Plus Espresso Machine - Black Truffle
BRAND: Sage
Just like a cafe, the Bambino Plus does not compromise on the four key elements for true third wave specialty coffee. Delivering barista quality performance using a 54mm portafilter with 19 grams for full flavour and an automatic steam wand for milk texturing that delivers true handsfree microfoam at the right temperature, just as you would see from Sage's top of the line the Oracle Touch. With a 3 second heat up time from a cold start, along with instantaneous transition from extraction to steam, you can make a coffee even faster.
Automatic Microfoam Milk Texturing
The automatic steam wand allows you to adjust the milk temperature and texture to suit your taste. Delivering barista quality micro-foam that enhances the flavour of the coffee and is essential for creating latté art.
3 Second Heat Up Time
Innovative ThermoJet® heating system achieves the optimum extraction temperature in 3 seconds. Ready to make your best coffee without the wait.
19 Gram Dose For Full Flavour
Achieve a consistent and balanced espresso using the right amount of ground coffee. The 54mm porta-filter with 19 grams is the key for full flavour and third wave specialty coffee.
Low Pressure Pre-Infusion
Low pressure pre-infusion gradually increases pressure at the start and helps ensure all the flavours are drawn out evenly during the extraction for a balanced tasting cup.
Precise Espresso Extraction
Digital Temperature Control (PID) delivers water at precisely the right temperature, ensuring optimal espresso extraction.
Auto Purge
Automatically purging the heat system after steaming ensures your next espresso is extracted at the right temperature.

Customer Reviews
I am really pleased with this machine - it makes excellent espresso & cappuccino without any fuss. I like the control over milk temperature & foam & volume of coffee delivered. This is all within a small footprint. Great buy!
I ummed and ahhed about this when I needed a replacement for my Sage Barista Pro, whose grinder had failed. I decided on a separate grinder and espresso machine and had whittled it down to this or a gaggia. I went with this as it had good reviews and has lots of things built in like pid, programmable one touch buttons etc.
At first I felt a bit disappointed as it was so lightweight it felt like a toy. For an honest and hopefully useful review I’ll list the bad parts as well as good: I have to lean on the machine to insert and remove the portafilter to stop it toppling over. The drip tray is tiny and needs changing every 2 days. And it’s noisy, especially the loud rattle of the metal drip tray. The portafilter is plasticky compared to the pro version. I have my own nice one though so irrelevant in my case. Finally there is no timer for those that want to be all accurate, but a scale with a timer will get around this.
The good bits: Once I’d got my head around these issues I’ve come to like it as, like the pro, it’s convenient to have programmable functions, you can do manual steaming for latte art when you fancy but the automatic steaming is good for quick general hot frothy milk when you’re in a rush in the morning (which I why I went for the plus over the basic model), you can get hot water out of the steam wand for topping up. There’s lots of space for a big mug or a scale if wanted. It comes with all the baskets you need and a nice milk jug. I got the black version and it looks really smart.
I don’t regret my purchase and am enjoying pulling lovely shots that flow out like honey. I’ve paired it with a eureka mignon specialita grinder. Clumsy Goat have been really helpful in advising me how to get the best out of the set up which I really appreciated.
Love this machine, it's so compact and easy to use yet makes truly delicious coffee. I paired it with the Sage grinder and so have everything super fresh.
The milk frother is an absolute delight - it can even make microfoam for latte art! Would definitely recommend this machine to others and it can super quickly too. Thanks to all the team at Clumsy Goat - you rock! oxo
