“Had my 9Barista Espresso Machine for over two years. Bought one of the first - Mark 1 #283. It is aesthically delightful (almost hilarious) from opening the package, on assembly, to seeing it in action; reliable - first use was, perhaps, befuddling, but ever since it has just worked time after time; robust - super-well-made, unexpectedly heavy, thoughtful selection of materials for each component; fun - enjoy the ritual of using it; and makes great coffee - personally, I add it to a mug of hot milk, best coffee of the day.”
“I adore 9 Barista and own two for my own use so I can make two pots for myself at once. The valve has burst many times. The first time I ordered replacements, it took over two months When I contacted to say I hadn’t received them yet, they said sometimes mail took a long time. Eventually the parts came. After that I planned for a long delivery time which was usually was under a month. Just recently I ordered 10 more safety valves and got them in a few days. I was thrilled. I think they must have a supplier now in the US Nothing makes better coffeefor me than 9Barista( and I have had MANY stove top coffee makers )n so I have been patient”
“Besides having the most wonderful stove top coffee pot, the after-sales-service from 9B is top notch!! After nearly melting the chimney on my beloved 9B pot, on a camp stove, the replacement I ordered arrived in a flash.”
“Hello, I am very happy to buy a beautifully made and designed product. Although the price is not cheap, it is more worth cherishing. Let me talk about my experience of using it, 1. In addition to mastering the appropriate grinding fineness for the first time, I don’t know how to control the appropriate firepower (gas). The first trial brewing time was about 10 minutes before the coffee liquid appeared. 2. I don’t know how tightly the handle needs to be turned. If it is too tight, it will not be easy to turn it away after cooling. 3. I am switching to an electric stove and I don’t know what the recommended wattage should be. I am still trying to find out. Small firepower will cause the water to boil. Not boiling. Overall, it is not too difficult to operate and is worth using every day.”
“This is a very nice experience. The machine is well made, it takes only few tests to have the perfect espresso! It makes one cup at a time, and it takes time to “reload” but what a pleasure to have a perfect coffee when traveling in my van! I strongly recommend.”
“Helpful staff, very helpful. Only problem: Postage costs too high, no option for 1st class, only parcel - shipping for a little washer was nearly the price of the washer.”
“Very well built product and makes great coffee. I don't have the space for a big espresso machine in my kitchen so this was the perfect option as it is so small. The coffee it makes is fantastic and I haven't found it to difficult to dial in.”
“Easily diagnosed machine. Easily findable part on the website. Click, credit card, click. Part arrives, screws in neatly and tightly. And I’m back to good coffee again. How could I not give that 5 *s?”
“I had a well rounded experience. The shipping went quick and my 9Barista arrived well packed including guidelines on how to use and how to troubleshoot. But the most amazing is how good of a espresso coffee out of this little Espresso cooker. And it's easy repeatable even without weighing grinds and water.”
“Customer service was great, addressed my problem with delivery address and gave me a discount. The 9barista creates espresso beyond my expectations. Best espresso machine ever.”
