“All I can say is this thing is nothing short of extraordinary! The hefty price tag held me back from purchasing the 9barista for a long time but I finally pulled the trigger and all I can say is this is one of the best investments I had in a while. I bought a “refurbished” one but I didn’t find a single scratch on it and it was packaged like new.
About the 9barista itself: is it fast? Not really. Is it convenient? Can be, but it’s rather fiddly. Is it super easy to use? if you get used to it.
But is it something that’s made out of quality materials and you can actually see where your money went? Absolutely! It’s also a great conversation starter, and everybody wants to try the coffee it makes. It really is a special object.
If you only make espresso for one or 2 single shots, this thing is almost faster than the heatup time of most machines. Also if you like fiddling and things that feel hand made this is definitely for you.
Not to mention that I actually like making coffee again, and it’s really fun to make real espresso anytime and anywhere. That’s the party trick and you are actually going to want to make espresso in the most impossible locations.”
“Love the 9Barista!! It has been exactly as advertised and delivers the perfect espresso every time! I’d strongly recommend getting a machine. I’d love a 100% plastic free machine with high quality materials made in europe or the usa with a lifetime warranty.”
“Thank you much for delivering to Ukraine and quick workaround with checkout page.
Machine is amazing! Very nice packing and printed materials. Quickly set up and after several shots were able to tune grinding settings to get proper extraction time and crema.
Darker roasted coffee tastes great. With light roasted need to practice as i had no previous exp. with espresso machines.”
“Selecting options for the 9Barista MK2 Pro is unnecessarily confusing.
[Redundant add‑ons]
The Basket Cap Pro and IMS precision basket are both already included with the MK2 Pro, yet they still appear as optional extras in the configurator. If I tick Basket Cap Pro, checkout prevents completion because the item is “already included.” Conversely, if I choose the Standard model and try to add the Basket Cap Pro, the site accepts the selection but fails to display a price.
[Spare‑parts clarity]
The current parts list offers no quick way to see which component fits where. A simple visual key—such as numbered call‑outs on an exploded diagram, matched to the same numbers in the parts table, or a consistent colour‑coding scheme—would make it far easier to identify the correct O‑rings and other consumables.
Implementing these two small UX fixes would streamline purchasing, cut support requests, and give new owners a smoother start with their 9Barista.”
“The 9barista 'godshotbundle' came with all listed parts, everything in great condition and in time. The espresso machine and all parts seem like high quality, the espresso (after a few iterations) it produces is great. In addition I received a manual including a troubleshooting section which was very helpful. On top I got an Email with a link to a video tutorial on how to use the 9barista. Only issue: my coffee consumption increased ;)”
“Very well made product, packaged well and shipped quickly. Customer service was very helpful when I had my own issues with my card and paying. The product itself so far has been great brewing a quality cup of espresso. I'm still learning exactly how to perfect it, but the device is quite easy to understand.”
“Unfortunately I need new sealings after 3 years of usage. Spare Products are getting almost double the price of the website due to custom duties. The delivery was within a week UK-AUT. All spare parts were on stock.”
