Better with an actual instruction manual
on March 25, 2025
Posted by: gracielar24_8794
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Baristina works really well once you find the instructions. The QR did not take me to the right spot, and even searching for Baristina on the Philips website did not bring up the product. I eventually found a YouTube video on how to use the Baristina and the actual Philips website page that gives you tips on how to adjust for cup size and intensity.
The design of the coffee maker is sleek. Also, it is not very loud when grinding coffee beans. I'm also having fun watching the portafilter moving one side to the other.
Cleaning takes a little bit since it calls for pressing down on the button on the portafilter to get the water out it. There's a few times where I thought I got all the water out of it and then ended up either getting water on myself or the floor. Also, I've taken to leaving a paper towel underneath my mugs since I use large mugs and don't like having to clean stray coffee grounds and dripping coffee after moving the mug away.

I love this espresso maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this espresso maker! It is so easy to brew a great cup of espresso with the Baristina. It grinds the beans and makes an expresso quickly and easily. The cleanup afterwards is a breeze. It has a small footprint so it easily fits on any countertop. I can wholeheartedly recommend!!!

High Expectations, Lowered by Poor Machine Quality
on March 29, 2025
Posted by: Teds07

I bought this machine around August and while I love how creamy it pulls, and that the machine offers a grinding option at a lower price. The actual machine is just poor quality. 1) it’s extremely difficult to clean 2) the espresso handle is automatic but stopped working after just a month of use so now we have to manually move the handle from the right side to the left side of the machine. That wouldn’t really be a problem if the espresso grounds stayed inside the handle - but it will easily spill out the contents sometimes getting the ground beans into the espresso shot. Even with the automatic function worked, it would still spill out the grounds very easily. I really want to love this machine but I’d rather recommend people buy a product that is easier to clean and actually works. I honestly think this product could be fantastic if there was a way to easily access the inside of the machine to clean it and the automatic swipe option was taken out and instead replaced with the ability to just manually move the espresso handle. Also in the attached photo you can see how the grounds have fallen and they accumulate in a hard to clean area
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lost function over time
on April 2, 2025
Posted by: Kendall
I bought this 6 months ago and it worked well for me until a couple months ago. I contacted Philips for help and they told me to do a factory reset - now I do it every time I pull a shot. The grind settings deteriorated and now all that’s left in the portafilter is a wet sludge of coffee grounds as opposed to a fully extracted, relatively dry, combined puck. Its extraction is basically horrible now.

Ok at home espresso
on April 19, 2025
Posted by: jenniferp515_6601
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I YouTubed how to use because I didn’t see any real directions as to how to use (I have drank espresso before but never made any at home). It did its job and once I had it figured out wasn’t hard to use. It ground the whole beans well and had excellent flavor. The machine looked nice but for the price I would have thought that it would have a sturdier feel and less of the thinish plastic that the body was made out of.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee maker is gorgeous and super easy to use that was gifted by philipshomelivingna! I like how it’s not too big and more of a compact coffee maker. I love the optional milk foamer attachment too. Pretty quiet when it comes to brewing.
I would recommend this to a friend!
