Watch how you can create latte art with your espresso machine.

Latte Art

Creating latte art requires three essential ingredients – perfectly extracted espresso, microfoam textured milk, and plenty of delicious practice. Follow along as Leo Schmidt, a professional barista, demonstrates how to create a latte 'Dot', one of the most basic forms of latte art and the foundation for creating more complex latte art forms like the Heart, Tulip, Rosetta and much more.

How to create latte art

Perfectly textured milk is the secret to barista-quality third wave speciality coffee. It balances the espresso flavour, bringing out the nuanced flavours and smoothing out any bitterness while producing a silky texture and velvety mouthfeel. The Bambino® Plus makes texturing your milk a simple process.

Learning how to create 'The Dot' is essential to most latte art. Start your latte art journey here with your Bambino® Plus.

Once you've mastered the basic dot pattern using microfoam milk from your Bambino® Plus, you're ready to move on to more complex designs like the Heart. Considered an intermediate style of latte art, the Heart begins with the same method as the Dot, but with variations of technique at the end.

Cleaning Guides

By regularly cleaning each component of you Bambino® Plus, you remove loose coffee grounds and built-up oils, so nothing gets between you and the flavour of your freshly brewed third wave coffee. We recommend that you clean the portafilter and filter baskets after each brewing session. See how this can be done by watching our guide. 

How to clean portafilter and filter basket

An important item to add to your daily maintenance routine is cleaning the Bambino® Plus shower screen. Doing so ensures that consistent shot extraction and the overall quality and taste of your coffee.

How to clean the shower screen

Keeping your espresso machine clean is an essential step to creating delicious coffee cup after cup, so we have designed the Bambino® Plus to be easy to clean and maintain. After each use, make sure to clean the drip tray, or you will know it’s time to empty the drip tray when the red indicator rises.

How to clean the drip tray

Purging the group head removes any coffee grinds and espresso residue that can build up after every extraction. The group head purge keeps your machine in good working order and ensures that each and every coffee tastes great. We recommend that you do a group head purge before and after each brew.

Regular cleaning and maintenance of your Bambino® Plus espresso machine are essential for getting the most out of your coffee-making sessions.

Cleaning your Bambino® Plus is vital to ensuring that you keep enjoying a delicious cup of coffee every time you use it. The machine will alert you when it needs cleaning by flashing both the '1-Cup' and the '2-Cup' buttons. Let us guide you through it.

How to perform a cleaning cycle 

Another essential cleaning process for the Bambino® Plus is descaling. Prevention of scale buildup ensures you're producing great quality coffee with every brew. When the '1-Cup', '2-Cup' and 'Steam' buttons all flash in alternation, the machine needs to be descaled. Follow this video to see how it's done.

How to perform a descale

It is essential to regularly clean your machine and components to ensure consistent third wave speciality coffee at home. To ensure your Bambino® Plus is always ready to brew a perfect cup, we recommend that you perform a clear water backflush at the end of each brewing session to remove any coffee ground or oil residue buildup.
