EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Breville Infuser is priced at $599.95, catering to beginners in the espresso-making world. In contrast, the Breville Bambino is more affordable at $299, also targeting the beginner market. Both machines are categorized as semi-automatic, making them suitable for users who are new to espresso preparation.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize a button activation system and feature a vibration pump. The Infuser has a primary heating element made of Thermoblock with a heat-up time of less than 5 minutes and a water reservoir capacity of 1.8 liters, while the Bambino also has a Thermoblock heating element but a slightly smaller water reservoir at 1.4 liters and an equivalent heat-up time. Both machines come with a 54mm portafilter.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Infuser includes a PID control, pre-infusion, and an auto shutoff feature, but lacks a steam pressure gauge and hot water function. The Bambino similarly has pre-infusion and PID control but does not offer a boiler pressure gauge or hot water feature either. Notably, the Infuser has a solenoid valve and a steam wand, while the Bambino also includes a steam wand but lacks a solenoid valve.
