Yes. The Breville Bambino Plus doesn't have a built-in grinder. For fresh whole bean espresso, pair it with an espresso-capable grinder such as the Baratza Encore ESP, which offers fine adjustments for dialing in shots. Confirm whether the recipient already owns one before adding a grinder to the gift.
