No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

easy to use, but espresso isn't very strong and it stopped working properly after a few months
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good for 3 months
on January 2, 2025

Loved the Baristina for the 3 months that it worked. My experience with the machine has been similar to many of those reviews posted below. I now have a machine that makes undrinkable coffee and I have tried everything to remedy the problem without success.

Thank you for telling us about your experience with the Baristina. How regrettable that you could enjoy your device for only 3 months and that none of the things you've tried have resolved the issue.

We'd be happy to see what we can do for you when it comes to the disappointing taste/intensity of the coffee. Don't hesitate to give us a call at 1-833-737-1212 (Monday-Friday 8-5 PM CST). We hope to speak to you soon.

Kind regards,

Broken after 4 months
on November 24, 2025

Gender:Male
This machine was great while it lasted, but it broke after only 4 months. After reading other reviews, it appears to be very common. I tried to submit a warranty claim and the website says this product is an exclusion and has “no solutions”…extremely disappointing to say the least. No more Phillips products for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

waste of money
on December 8, 2025
Posted by: Maroun
worked fine for 2 months, then after that, it doesn't grind enough coffee, and leaving water in the portafilter, more water than the espresso cup itself. I should have believed the reviews I read before buying. It is a piece of junk, do not buy.

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 love it!
on July 14, 2025

Gender:Female
Verified Purchase:Yes
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!

Philips Portafilter malfunction
on September 17, 2025
Posted by: WillP
Gender:Male
I have purchased Philips Baristina 2 months ago and have been using it to make 1-2 cups of coffee a day for myself . Now, the portafilter is not filly drained and filled with coffee and water at the end of coffee making process. This is so frustrating and disappointing when the quality of the product is so poor comparing to the the price you pay.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
