“The experience is delightful. I am not especially particular with my coffee but I was looking for a way to improve the experience over the aeropress ive used for many years. The design is just stunning and the details are so appreciated, down to providing spare parts for newbies like myself.”
“Beautifully crafted and engineered piece of kit. The quality of materials used is of high quality. Even the tamper which is a free accessory is well made. All in all great product that makes great coffee.”
“Unique coffee gadget! The 9Barista is a very special coffee making instrument. Sure the major coffee reviewers rightly say that its drawback is the fixed parameters regarding pressure and temperature, but all things the same i enjoy a cup from the 9Barista more than from my Breville. This is something that i did not expect when purchasing the 9Barista - that i would be able to taste the difference so distinctly. So perhaps the difference in taste may not be as big when you make coffee on a La Marzocco...which steers me toward the next gadget/machine :) (this theory should perhaps first be tested) I am very pleased with the build quality - it is a job well done. One accessory that may be popular is an acrylic stand offering an "exploded view" of the machine in its storage position. One alternative to the design may be to produce a metal chimney?”
“Excellent overall buying experience. Delivery to USA was fast, customer service was prompt and well advised. Incredibly built, engineered and produces a wonderful espresso - love it!”
“A very robust and unique product! True espresso on one’s stove top with no electronics. It does take practice with dose and grind to get the extraction correct so be patient. The unit is built like a tank and will last years, so, it is an investment.”
“I was a little worried that this espresso machine was going to be more of an engineering novelty than actually practical. Or too difficult to use. But it's actually really simple and fun once you get it. For use in a small space (am I brave enough to take it camping? maybe) it's even more delightful.”
“Simple & Quick To Use! Compared to any other espresso machine this is very quick to make espresso for yourself and it produces consistently great coffee. I love it!”
