What characterizes the Sage The Bambino manual espresso machine

Small but effective!
The espresso machine Sage The Bambino is designed with the Thermojet heating system unique to the Sage brand.
The Thermojet is a powerful thermoblock that heats water in a closed circuit in just 3 seconds. Of course, since the machine is equipped with a stainless steel group, you will need to wait about 2 minutes for all components in contact with the coffee to reach the optimal temperature.
The Bambino is the little sister of the Bambino Plus: more compact but with the same quality of finish and results in the cup.
Other differences with the Bambino Plus: fewer settings, a steam wand without the Auto MilQ function and simpler maintenance.

Simple and precise espresso extraction
The Sage The Bambino uses digital temperature regulation (integrated non-adjustable PID) to ensure water at the right temperature for precise extraction.
This machine works by performing a low-pressure pre-infusion (to extract all the aromas from your coffee), followed by a 9-bar extraction (the perfect pressure for making espresso). This combination ensures beautiful quality in the cup to enjoy your favorite coffee!
Like its big sister, The Bambino is equipped with a stainless steel coffee group for better thermal stability, a 54mm portafilter and pressurized filters (one or two cups) for extractions with 18 grams of ground coffee. If you have an espresso grinder, you can also use the single filters provided (1 and 2 cups).
The Sage The Bambino has two backlit buttons on the front (for one or two cups). You can easily adjust the amount of coffee you want in the cup and save your choice.

A powerful steam wand for your milk drinks
The stainless steel steam wand is powered by the Thermojet to produce powerful pressure at a temperature of 93°C. You will get a perfect micro-foam for your favorite drinks (latte, cappuccino...).
Use the milk pitcher (included with the machine) to practice and create beautiful milk foams!
On the front of the machine, you will find two buttons for using the wand: one for steam, the other for dispensing water (handy for an americano or tea).
The Sage Bambino is a good entry-level manual espresso machine for those who want to switch to ground coffee and create their own milk-based drinks.
We recommend grinding your coffee on demand for a tastier result.
Thanks to the pressurized filters, you can use a small entry-level grinder.
To use the single-wall filters, we advise a grinder dedicated to espresso.

Accessories included & maintenance of the Sage Bambino
Accessories: Stainless-steel milk jug, tamper, single-cup pressurized filter, double-cup pressurized filter, single-cup single-wall filter, double-cup single-wall filter, dual-spout aluminum portafilter, filter cartridge with holder, steam wand & filter cleaning tool, descaling powder.
Maintenance: To extend the life of your Sage Bambino espresso machine and achieve better in-cup results, it is recommended to use a filter cartridge (or pre-filtered water). Remember to descale your appliance following the brand’s instructions (see manual) and clean the accessories regularly. Find all SAGE maintenance products.

What we think:
- The modern design
- The extraction quality
- The quality of the milk foam obtained
- Its compact size
- Its ease of use
- The effective pressurized filters
- To be able to adjust the extraction temperature, you will need to turn to the Bambino Plus.
The pressurized filters let you get to grips with The Bambino even if you don’t yet have an espresso grinder, using pre-ground coffee.
Of course, the in-cup result will always be better with freshly ground coffee!
