The Bambino ships with a full starter kit including a portafilter, multiple baskets, a milk pitcher, descaling powder and a steam-wand cleaning tool so beginners can brew out of the box, but the bundled plastic tamper and lightweight stubby portafilter feel low quality, tend not to split shots evenly, and many owners quickly upgrade these accessories.
Accessories are minimal—mainly a measuring spoon that also helps mount the water filter plus the included milk container—so setup stays uncluttered, but owners still need filters/cleaning tablets over time and may want to budget for a spare milk jug since the included one is plastic and replacements cost extra.
