The best option for small kitchen and for a good espresso lovers
on August 13, 2024
Posted by: dariam29
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you love coffee as much as I do, you should pay attention to this review. If you are not a professional barista but would like to drink a good quality espresso every day without any problem, then this Baristina Espresso Machine won’t disappoint you.
Design. I got espresso machine with a Milky White color base and a Milky White portafilter color. It’s a very good colors for any styles of kitchen. It doesn’t have any unnecessary details. Just white and silver colors, only three buttons on a panel. It attracts attention with its simplicity and elegance but does not add unnecessary visual noise to the kitchen space. It’s compact, doesn’t take up much space on a countertop.
Level of difficulty in use and maintenance. It’s very simple and pleasant to use Baristina: just fill a tank with a filtered water, pour in your favorite coffee beans (it automatically grinds them), choose one of the coffee options (you may choose among espresso or Lungo only), don’t forget to install the portafilter and place the cup in the right place, push the button, wait a couple of seconds, get your coffee, enjoy! It was really easy to use it for me. I figured how it works very fast. This espresso machine is also very easy to maintain and wash. All parts are easily removable and washable.
Coffee quality. Every good or bad taste of coffee depends of the quality of coffee beans, water, and the method of preparation. I like the taste of espresso (it’s bold and velvet), but taste of Lungo I like much more (it has a great aroma and really tastes like a true barista made it).
My honest conclusion: Baristina Espresso Machine is a very good option for those, who love espresso, don’t have much time to become a barista, appreciate modern and elegant design and don’t have much space in a kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I literally love this machine so much it makes the creamiest espresso and its so easy to use. I love how modern it looks too with its white look. So easy that it also grinds the beans for you

Awesome design and great quality espresso!

This machine surpasses all my expectations. I recently did a ton of research on espresso machines for my most recent upgrade and decided to take a chance on the Barristina. The machine produces quality brews each use and impressive crema. The design of the machine is thoughtful and very sleek.

It’s nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brews amazing and seems very durable. I don’t know if I’d pay that price with it not having a brother for milk. Easy to clean up and the design is slim shockingly.

Phenomenal

Posted by: cherylicious_5138
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such an amazing espresso machine! I used to just have a Keurig and so this was such a step up and a game changer. I used to just do instant coffee but now I can have amazing coffee that tastes like they are brewed at some of the best coffee shops. All from the comfort of my home I was so excited to get this, and I highly recommend!

Effortless espresso
on February 12, 2025
Posted by: kmartens_5282
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you love great espresso without the hassle, the Philips Baristina is a fantastic choice. It grinds, tamps, and brews automatically, delivering rich, consistent shots every time. The easy-clean portafilter keeps things mess-free, and while you’ll need a separate frother for lattes and cappuccinos, this sleek machine makes café-quality coffee effortless.

So excited to work on my espresso game
on February 12, 2025
Posted by: jewliciousrae_2660
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always wanted an espresso maker. I just never could justify it. I’m so excited for this one because it grinds the beans and then makes the coffee all in the same go. And all in one machine. It’s not a full top of the line, best espresso machine with all the bells and whistles, but it doesn’t claim to be. It is what a convenient easy way to have espresso. I will review more as the time goes on and update on how it’s going. I’ve read other reviews and it sounds more like user error than machine issue but once I know more, I’ll update more.,
