The Bambino Plus shares its ThermoJet boiler with the Impress, Barista Pro and Oracle Jet, so heat-up speed is the same across Breville's semi-automatic lineup in our catalog. What sets it apart is size and price: it's the smallest and least expensive of the four, with no built-in grinder, which keeps it under $450. A 54mm portafilter keeps parts compatible with the rest of Breville's lineup here if you later want to try a different model.
