Anybody else with a Bambino Plus experiencing this?
Machine is about 3 weeks old. I’d seen small amounts of water underneath the machine from day 1 but not getting out of control. Ran a cleaning cycle today and if I hadn’t put a towel down it would have been all over the floor.
Feels like it’s probably coming from where the machine drains into the drip tray because there’s some pools on the machine base under the tray as well.
Drip tray is pushed in as far as it’ll go.
Is this a flaw in the design or have I got a lemon?
Got one of these too and the cleaning cycle leak is apparently a design flaw. The water drains directly into the drip tray but it isn’t big enough to hold a full cleaning cycle.
I put a towel under it whenever I clean it. Such a shame because it’s a great machine otherwise!
Thanks. It didn’t appear to overflow for me - although maybe it would have if half the water hadn’t been directly dumped on the counter lol.
Based on the pics in the manual, I had to hunt around to find a container that was a) big enough to hold 2 litres, b) small enough to balance on the drip tray and c) low enough to fit under the portafilter. Answer: no such container exists - I think it’s physically impossible. Fortunately the images in the manual were ridiculous and, as you say, most of the water is squirted into the drip tray and barely anything comes out into the container sitting on top. Silly manual!
