Philips Baristina Automatic Espresso Machine and Milk Frother Bundle

I have had the Philips Baristina and milk frother for 10 months. I use it to make double lattes every day. They taste better than Starbucks and paid for itself within 2 months. I now drink more and better lattes and really enjoy them without worrying about the cost. I used to use a Moka pot or French press, both of which took more time and supervision and were more difficult to clean up. I am very happy with this purchase.

Do not buy this machine if you drink coffee every single day. I purchased two machines—one for myself and one for my mother—and both began leaking after about six months of use. What a disappointment. There is no way to fix this issue because this product is not on the supported items list.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I initially thought this product was the bees knees! I absolutely love that it has a built in grinder, a stroke of genius is that the tamper has a button to eject used coffee. The bane of my existence is slamming tampers against my kitchen worktop to get the stuck coffee out of them. I loved that you slid the tamper to grind the coffee into it and then it started pouring your drink! I thought the milk frother was handy and stylish. But as time went on, I experienced problems. A major one being coffee spilling out from the machine after grinding. My once sleek new machine now has tiny coffee grounds stuck in it. The middle button doesn’t seem to do anything at all, instead of making a super large coffee. The instructions are not clear at times either. Pictures only is not helpful. The milk frother was great until I see I can barely put any milk in it before it will overflow. It’s quite a large device to give so little milk. My drink often has some coffee grounds in it due to the grinder issue. I will be contacting Philips but it’s not a glowing review for such an expensive machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! For years I’ve had a large bulky mainstream at home coffee machine and this little machine has changed my life! Well, my morning routine at least! It has cut my coffee making time down to as little as 3 minutes. All I do is watch it do its magic! It’s so compact, easy to use and the coffee it produces is the best I’ve ever had, every time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found my Philips baristina very easy to use. I'm that person who loves her coffee at the click of a button and this machine does just that. You put the coffee beans and it does everything for you. It's not very noisy as well which I love. Also when the coffee is being dispensed, it's very gentle and there is no spillage. The design of the machine is really stylish and compact, and very easy to clean as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little machine for the coffee drinker on the go. Slightly more sophisticated than a pod machine but just as easy to use, this cracking little machine allows you to choose your own coffee beans and grinds them into a delicious cup of coffee. With two settings you can choose a long black or espresso, there is also an option to decide how strong you would like your coffee. Compared to other machines this little friend is reasonably quiet and gets the job done. There no huge frills but you do get a pretty decent cup of coffee quickly. This little machine is great for home. But would also suit offices, hairdressers or other places that want to offer something more than a pod or instant coffee.

I am really happy with my Baristina machine! I love how compact and seamless it is. It’s super easy to use and a nice step up from a pod machine but still easy to use and really fast from bean to cup! Cleaning and maintenance is easy and set up was simple. My only fault is the machine losers grip on my bench when inserting the portafilter. Would highly recommend as an entry level coffee machine for someone who love simplicity and efficiency.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this espresso machine! Talk about making it sooooo easy to make a coffee requiring no effort to pack the coffee. You only need to pour in the coffee beans at the top, it does the grinding for you and then packs it and out pours a delish espresso with the option to make it short or long and selecting to make it stronger. One thing I noticed is that it doesn’t have little grip pads underneath so kept sliding around so that’s why we had to put a tea towel underneath it. Would highly recommend this for someone who wants to make coffee on the go with the benefit of freshly ground coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Who knew having freshly grinded coffee beans every morning could be so quick and easy? The Phillips Baristina Espresso Machine is as easy to use as a pod machine, giving you a wonderful perfectly brewed coffee with ease. With the push of a button the beans are grinded, pressed and espressed through the machine in the space of minute. I love that the two set sizes are adjustable to preference and that you can up the strength if you wish as well. Cleaning takes 30 seconds with the portafilter emptied easily with one hand, then you're ready to go for the next coffee. Having always wanted a proper coffee machine but never wanted the hassle of dealing with the all the fiddly bits or having a big industrial looking machine on my bench, Phillips has come up with the perfect answer for me with this machine. It's compact and stylish, my biggest complaint is that the electrical cord is black, when my kitchen and the machine is white.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Philips Baristina Espresso Machine is extremely easy to use and very convenient. As an amateur coffee enthusiast, this machine was the next step up in making my morning coffee and super fun to use!
