Why we love this Breville deal
Looking to start making cafe-worthy brews from home? Though a good espresso machine is definitely an investment, you don't have to break the bank with a starter machine. Especially when budget-friendly options like the Breville Bambino offer all of the essential functions you'd need for smooth and full-bodied brews.
The budget pick in our guide to the best Breville espresso machines, the Bambino only costs a fraction of what you'd pay for other rigs. Right now, during Amazon's spring sale, you can also save an extra $50 on one for your own countertop, bringing it down to only $250. That matches the best price we've seen for it all year — but we don't know when the discount will end.

Why you'll love it
Shoppers who want to start making real espresso at home without committing to a huge, complicated machine will appreciate the Breville Bambino because it hits a sweet spot between performance and approachability. In our guide to the best Breville espresso machines, it's the budget pick.
During testing, we found that it heats up in seconds, pulls smooth, full-bodied shots, and steams milk well enough for both airy cappuccino foam and silkier microfoam. We also love its compact footprint and simple four-button interface, which makes it especially appealing for beginners or anyone with limited counter space. Just note that it doesn't include a grinder, so you'll need to get one separately or opt for pre-ground beans.
