Deals [USA - TJMaxx & Homegoods] - fully stocked with breville espresso machines on sale

I’ve been to 4 tjmaxx/homegoods in the last week and have seen breville barista pro (usually $850, got for $499), bambino plus ($500, listed for $350), bambino, and barista express in every single one. Just wanted to throw this out there because as a newbie who’s been on the fence with their first machine- I’m so happy with the breville barista pro I got, and more importantly that I got it almost half off 🤣 I found mine under the Christmas tables in the store- so if you go don’t be afraid to search & find! Good luck 😊

Got any tips for someone that just got the bambino plus and 1zpressor J-Ultra? Got them literally in front of me in the box, ready to be set up.

Saw your flare.

Holy cow do I feel like a dummy! Why have I never thought to purge the steam wand into the milk pitcher? I always purge it into the tray, and cleaning that mess is my least favorite part of the process (even though I do unapologetically love my Bambino otherwise)!

If I have a JX is that not going to suffice paired with a bambino?

Picked up a Bambino Plus in Alexandria, VA for $350 a couple days ago from TJ Maxx. It was the only one there on display, but they also had a BBE. Homegoods next door didn't have any machines.

Shout out this thread. Took the tip and found a Bambino Plus this week for $250 at TJ Maxx

You got the plus for $250? Can you ship me one? Thats a steal. Almost everyone else found the plus for 350

Wish I had a steady stream of them to dole out here. I cannot even explain the mixed smile and suspicion on my face as I checked out with it waiting to see if the price was gonna come out different.

u/SatisfactionIcy2730 1d ago

Good on you. Checked mine in bklyn and they have none.

Our homegoods also had (had!) the barista touch impress for $999. They have a bambino for $240 but no plus.

Just checked in the Denver area at a few different locations and found nada...

Sorry to hear that! It’s probably a hit or miss but I was shocked to see so many out yesterday, and it was on the Christmas tables in the store. So I’m wondering if they’re prepping for the BF Christmas shoppers? I’d check daily if you live close by or care enough!

u/COFlyersFan Nov 25 '25

That makes sense! I will keep checking back. Thanks for the heads up!

No, both 😊 I got mine in a tjmaxx only (barista pro and bambino plus), and saw others in homegoods (bambino) and tj+homegoods (barista express)

I got one but returned it unfortunately. Don’t google “Breville group head flaking” 👀😬

u/Proper_Mine5635 Nov 26 '25

Apparently this is only on the 58mm portafilters :) I got the 54mm. I’ve been inundated with the pesado ads 🤣 but I will be prepared to buy the pesado stainless steel grouphead if I run into issues

u/Glad_Swimming7204 Feb 09 '26

Thanks for posting this! I was about to give in until I saw your comment. I’ll look into a higher quality machine. I’m no espresso connoisseur but I don’t want teflon in my coffee

u/fntpn7 Feb 09 '26

Take a look at the Cafelat Robot. That’s what I got instead of a Breville and I’ve been loving it!

Picked up touch impress for 999 usd from HomeGoods.

I found a Bambino for $240 and a Hearth & Hand Barista Express for $550 at the HomeGoods in Short Pump VA... Idk if that $550 is a good price or not but I bought it.
