I’d say no, the Bambino Plus is currently on sale for $400 brand new, and the grinder is $200 brand new. You’re saving $50 but are buying used machines that might have issues. I don’t have first hand experience with the grinder, but the general consensus here is that there are better options at the

They do not exist as it is a super specific need. I think you can make it however. Buy something with a physical ON/OFF switch live a Baratza Encore.

I have a Breville Bambino and Baratza Encore ESP and have been happy with that set up.
