According to our semi-automatic espresso machine expert
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.

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.

I like the option for fully manual operation, both for the dosage and the frothing of the milk.

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.
