Who it's for.

The Bambino Plus may suit you if:

You want to learn the craft: you dose, tamp and pull each shot yourself.
You want hands-free milk most days, with a manual option when you want control.
You already own a grinder, or prefer to choose one separately.
Counter space is tight: it measures 7.7 inches wide, as listed.

It may not suit you if:

You want espresso at the touch of a button: you dose, tamp and pull each shot yourself.
You do not own a grinder yet: it has no built-in grinder, so you will need one.
