This is not espresso, it is not tamped. No matter if you hit the boost button or not, it is just coffee.

I absolutely love this machine. It’s simple and easy to use but the coffee is legit. I had a friend come over right after I made a cup of coffee and she told me that my house smelled like a coffee shop. I also purchased the frother and I’m obsessed with that as well. If not only whips your cream, but it warms it up at the same time and it’s very quiet. Needless to say, I love everything!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good coffee, some minor issues
on July 13, 2025

I've been using this machine since January 2025, it makes good coffee. It's easy to operate and to clean. It has a few negative issues: grinds build up and fall into the cup and all over the counter. To avoid this I thoroughly clean out the portafilter after each use, (just dumping the puck isn't good enough) and I wipe underneath the left side where the water flows thru the portafilter. There is a design flaw: if you want to use a regular size cup you must remove the elevated drip tray and balance the cup across the depression that the tray fits into. I bought rubber feet and stuck them to the drip tray grate to overcome this flaw. But a redesign is in order. The rear loading water tank is awkward, hard to load when full of water. And the portafilter is starting to rust around the handle. I advise purchasing an extra one.

Don’t do it!
on July 8, 2025
Posted by: Benny
I should have listened to other reviewers who said it would work well for a couple of months and then fail. It started to leak and had to return. The return process has not been easy. I had to upload videos of it malfunctioning and then spend hours on the phone with people I could barely understand. Still waiting on refund. Do yourself a favor and pay a little more for a better machine.

I've been using the Barista for 3 weeks(received as a gift).
It's so simple no messy cleanup and fast. It changed my morning coffee ritual.

The Baristina is a tiny but mighty espresso machine that meets my needs for everyday coffee. However there are some shortfalls to this machine. The machine does not dispense enough coffee for a doppio on either setting. Half full tamper produces weak espresso and I am having to fill it once cut the machine off then fill it again to then let it run. Second complaint is the tamper color options. Please release more varieties! They are super cute. Other than this one complaint, it's a great machine and I'd buy it again if they change the espresso load.

Goodbye drip coffee

Just received this for Father's Day and I love it! I will never return to drip coffee again. The coffee is rich & smooth. We bought smaller cups to replace the big mugs. Along with the small footprint of the machine, the counter is less cluttered; nice bonus.

Fast and easy automatic espresso!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] gifted by Philips - I wasn't sure what to expect from this machine, but it works so fast and conveniently! I didn't want to deal with the hassle of more manual espresso machines nor the pods style that is so wasteful. The best part of the Baristina is that you can use any beans you want and have it automatically grind, tamp, and brew in a few minutes. The matching Milk Frother also works so quick and has a hot or cold option depending on your latte type. This is perfect for both frothy hot lattes and a thick cream top iced latte! If you are a coffee lover who wants something easy, high quality, and more sustainable, Baristina fits the bill.
I would recommend this to a friend!
