Bambino Plus

But if she just wants to make co

I'm in the US and the brand is called Breville, but it's exactly the same, just called Sage in Ireland. It depends on your level of commitment. Personally I went with the Bamino Plus and got a half decent grinder (DF54 or Baratza Encore). The Bambino or Bambino Plus are more entry level, compared to
