“Beautiful piece of engineering to make espresso. Very versatile because it doesn't have any chip to control the brew process. This method can last many years if you clean it very well. I recommend not leave drops of water inside the machine and avoid soaps because they can make it oxidative. I tested and I prepared good espressos. Please, consider variables such as pressing the coffee, extraction time, fire and amount of coffee ☕ to improve your espresso. I recommend this beautiful ❤️ machine. It is heavy and we'll built. I did an unboxing of 9barista on YouTube in Bogotá, Colombia.”
“Purpose built coffee maker. Well made, works as advertised after a very short learning curve. Recommend without reservations... but to egoists only!:))) The bottom line: single shot machine to take anywhere!”
“The 9Barista machine itself is awesome, but the ordering process and pricing (taxes etc.) is a bit of a letdown as the price is so much higher. Still, cheaper than buying from stores directly here from germany. Edit: Checking for the country and displaying the correct price (including taxes and the cheapest shipping price) would improve it.”
“Simply, I love the machine design and compared to other espresso machines the outcome of the espressos is very satisfying. Of course it doesn't meet the quality of the coffee shop espresso machines, but it gets very close. Also, given the size of the machine, the espresso is very creamy, which is an excellent base to make cappuccinos or lattes.”
“This machine is meant for true espresso for true espresso lovers who can appreciate the quality it provides, and that are willing to put in the extra effort required. I use for espresso and cappuccio on the go, and it makes coffee at a level that is incredibly similar to what I have at home (where I have equipment significantly larger and more expensive). I use it with the comandate grinder and a nano foamer (when I drink a cappuccino). The results are incredible.”
“I love the 9Barista because it makes consistently great espresso and it is small enough to store in a cabinet. It is best suited for medium to dark roasts. It is simple, reliable. and a good value.”
“Si no tienes espacio para una buena máquina expreso, 9Barista te da todo lo que la expreso però en muy poco espacio. Cierto es que es una cafetera casi personal, ya que no podrás usarla en caso de 3 o 4 comensales ya que es muy laboriosa su utilización. Pero yo estoy encantado ya que es una experiencia solo para mí.”
“This is a great espresso machine that really fits my needs. I use it typically every day for a secondary late morning/early afternoon drink. I think this is a great product if you're making a drink for just yourself or one person, and you don't want to dedicate a lot of space to an additional appliance for a more standard espresso machine. I love how well made it is, and feel like it is a good value given the quality of materials and the precision of manufacturing. I don't think this product is for everyone, but it isn't trying to be. If it fits your use case and lifestyle, it is absolutely perfect.”
“It’s easy to use and clean, and extremely consistent. For a two person household, it’s the perfect machine. We have been using it daily since we got it 2 years ago. One thing to keep in mind is that it does take some time to get the proper grind setting, and that will vary based on your beans, how fresh they are, and your altitude. Also, you’ll probably overheat it a few times like I have, so be sure to stock up on extra seals and pressure release washers. Easy to fix though, and support has been helpful, along with the generous warranty.”
