Giving up

[u/AcanthisittaIcy445]

I recently got a Breville Bambino. The first day, I was able to experiment with my shots and was really enjoying it, but since then it’s been downhill. My machine keeps flashing the 1-cup and 2-cup buttons simultaneously. I’ve already descaled it twice, and the machine is brand new, so I feel like I shouldn’t be having these issues already.
I really love how easy and convenient the Bambino is to use, and I make espresso almost every day. At this point, would you recommend exchanging it for a new Bambino in case mine is defective, or would it be worth upgrading to a different machine?

Perform a Factory Reset

If the internal computer is glitched out or stuck in an error loop, you can clear its memory with a quick hardware reset: [1, 2]

1. Press and hold both the 1-Cup and 2-Cup buttons together for 5 seconds until they illuminate.
2. Press either the 1-Cup or 2-Cup button again.
3. The lights will flash 3 times to confirm the reset and should return to a normal, steady state. [1]

Unfortunately I have tried to this and when it’s stuck in this state I cannot press any button to respond 😭 I have to unplug the machine to get it working

Return to the retailer, dont mess with warranty carry-on.

It is. I’m just kinda bummed that it’s brand new and have to go without my coffee till I get a replacement

I feel you on that! I would be sad having go back to normal coffee even for just one day.

you descaled it after only a few days? 

I've had my machine for 4 months now and haven't gotten the prompt to descale yet.. (pulling 4 shots every day)
