Sage THE-BAMBINO-PLUS user manual

The Sage Bambino and Bambino Plus are two espresso machines manufactured by Sage Appliances (also known as Breville). While they are similar in some aspects, they do have a few notable differences.
1. Heating System: The Bambino Plus features a ThermoJet heating system, which allows the machine to reach the optimal extraction temperature in just 3 seconds. On the other hand, the Sage Bambino uses a 1,600-watt thermocoil heating system, which takes a bit longer to reach the desired temperature.
2. Pressure Control: The Sage Bambino Plus offers precise control over the extraction pressure, allowing users to manually adjust it according to their preferences. In contrast, the Sage Bambino has a predetermined extraction pressure limit and does not provide the option to adjust it manually.
3. Portafilter Size: The Bambino Plus comes with both 54mm and 58mm portafilter options, allowing users to switch between them based on their preference or the type of coffee they are brewing. The Sage Bambino, on the other hand, includes only a 54mm portafilter.
4. Automatic Milk Frothing: The Bambino Plus features an automatic steam wand, known as the "Auto Steam Wand," which automatically textures milk to your desired temperature and consistency. The Sage Bambino, however, does not have an automatic milk frothing feature, requiring you to manually froth the milk using the traditional steam wand.
5. Display Interface: The Bambino Plus includes a digital display interface, which provides easy access to control various settings and adjust factors such as temperature, shot volumes, and milk texture. The Sage Bambino, on the other hand, has a simpler interface with buttons and lights for basic controls, lacking the digital display.
It's important to note that these differences might vary depending on the specific model of the Sage Bambino or Bambino Plus, as there might be slight variations introduced by different product versions.
