The Bambino is the classic entry-level home espresso machine — everything you need to make tasty coffee in a small, relatively affordable package. Loads of Skylark customers brew with the Bambino.
With this machine, you'll be making your own café drinks without too much fuss — although you will need to buy a grinder separately (we have a good option here).
There are simple buttons for brewing one or two shots of espresso at a time, plus solid hot water and steam functions for both black and milky drinks. We like that the machine heats up super quickly (there's no big boiler inside) and comes with all of the extra bits that you need.
If you buy this machine from us, you're supporting Skylark's mission to explore how "good" coffee can be for everyone involved AND you'll get a three-month coffee subscription for free — that's 2 x 250g bags of coffee each month. (Once the machine is purchased, we'll email you to sort out your subscription.) We're pretty sure this is the best deal around for value and quality combined, and it's our way of making sure you have some excellent coffee with which to put your new machine to the test. And if you need some barista training, check out our partner project, Pro Baristas.
There's a reason this machine is popular with people making espresso at home for the first time. It's the ideal place to start. For a deeper dive, the instruction manual is here.
