Machine Overview

The Breville Duo Temp Pro and the Breville Bambino are both semi-automatic espresso machines designed for beginner users. Priced at $499.95, the Duo Temp Pro is positioned at a higher price point compared to the Bambino, which retails for $299. Both machines are made by Breville, a reputable brand in the espresso machine market, making them attractive options for those starting their espresso journey.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize a button activation system and a vibration pump type. They have impressive heat-up times of less than 5 minutes, making them efficient choices for quick coffee preparation. The Duo Temp Pro has a water reservoir capacity of 1.8 liters, while the Bambino offers a slightly smaller capacity of 1.4 liters. Both machines feature a 54 mm portafilter, further aligning their specifications regarding brewing capabilities.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Duo Temp Pro includes pre-infusion and a steam wand for milk frothing, but lacks an auto shutoff and PID control. On the other hand, the Bambino also offers pre-infusion, and interestingly includes a PID-regulated brew group, which is a feature not often found in machines at its price point. The Bambino also has an automatic shutoff feature, enhancing its convenience. While both machines do not include an integrated grinder or advanced control features, they are equipped to cater to beginner home baristas looking to create quality espresso.
