Breville Bambino BES450: price & specs

Specifications

Source: breville.com (verified 2026-07-09) · corroborated by seattlecoffeegear.com. breville.com official Bambino (BES450) product page confirms verbatim: ThermoJet heating system (3-second heat-up; boiler=thermojet), a professional 54 mm portafilter with an 18 g dose, low-pressure pre-infusion followed by 9-bar extraction delivered via "our 15 bar Italian pump" (pressure_bar=15; 15 bar stated explicitly), a "powerful steam wand" for "Manual hand-crafted microfoam" (milk_frother=manual steam wand; the page explicitly contrasts this with the Bambino Plus's automatic steam wand), and one-touch 1 & 2 shot volumetric shot control (programmable=true), at $299.95. The machine takes ground coffee via the portafilter and names no integrated grinder, so built_in_grinder=false and grind_settings=null. seattlecoffeegear.com retailer page for the exact "Breville Bambino BES450" (Model Number: BES450) corroborates the $299.95 price, places it under the "Semi-Automatic Machines" breadcrumb (type=semi-automatic), lists "Reservoir Size: 48 ounces" (water_tank_l=1.4 ≈ 1.42 L), a 54 mm portafilter, a "classic one-hole" manual steam wand, "Timed Dosing" for saved single/double shot times, and notes it works "even with preground coffees" (no grinder). Neither fetched page states a model release year (only a Nov-2022 energy-benchmark disclaimer), so release and releaseDate are left null rather than guessed; exact model BES450 verified on both pages, with the Bambino Plus (BES500) appearing only as a separate related product/comparison column.
