    I bought the Baristina about two months ago and I absolutely love it. I tossed out my Nespresso Pixie primarily because I didn’t want to use capsules anymore. I have several local coffee roasters and thus the ability to use really fresh beans which adds to the allure. I have spent more than 3 years in Europe and while the Baristina may not equal an Italian espresso completely, it is very satisfying making delicious coffee, easy to use and clean and very enjoyable overall.

    • @Cafelista_Coffee
      @Cafelista_Coffee  4 месяца назад +4

      I agree, we are far from a traditional Italian espresso, but as a replacement for a Nespresso machine it does an excellent job.

    I bought the machine about a month ago. I bought it for 300 euro and I'm happy with it. In my household I'm the only one who drinks coffee, and I don't have the room for an automated coffee machine.
    Before I used a Nespresso Vertuo machine, did broke down after a few months. After that I switched back to my perculator.
    I like the machine It's a cup machine experience without buying the expensive cups/waste. The coffee is fine, I drink mostly lungo's and I probably don't have a high standard for my coffee (yet 😅)

      I agree, it's much better than a Vertuo and takes about the same space.

      I also upgraded from a Nespresso machine, I only drink cappuccinos at home. And I have to say its a great upgrade from Nespresso capsules. No more capsules garbage, and the coffee tastes so much better. I am curious to see how the machine will hold up over the next few months.

    Impressive review!
    My Mom buys 4 shots of Starbucks espresso every day then adds it into a cup of cold milk she brings from home to create a latte. Because she spends so much at Starbucks ($100/mo) I would like to buy her an espresso machine that does all the work for her and gives her a way to replicate the strength of 4 Starbucks shots for her 20oz cup, but I also don’t want to spend $500+ when I give it to her as a Christmas present.
    Do you think this machine is good enough or does another idea come to mind for you?
    Merci!

    • @Cafelista_Coffee
      @Cafelista_Coffee  4 месяца назад +1

      Salut!
      Thanks for your message. It could do the job, 3 shots with the Baristina will be around 30g of coffee. I think Starbuks single might be around 7 grams. So caffeine wise it will be close.
      A full super auto like the 2300 from Philips or the Start from Delonghi are almost the same price and might offer more option as milk drinks. Your mum might like that ?

      Hi Erik, thanks for your message.
      It's mentioned in the coffee and quality extraction. 😉
      It's quite weak and watery for an espresso, hard to find the right balance. Not necessarily bad, but not a real espresso, neither.
      I'd say it is good for someone who wants pod like coffee, but better with more freshness and aroma. For espresso drinker, they should look elsewhere.

    I prefer lungo's over espresso's. And this machine is a lot cheaper then most full automatics, plus (it claims) easier maintenance. I now have it for 3 weeks, and i like it. Coffee tastes better then nespresso cups, being able to grind myself and put it in the filter is a nice one for the future when I want to experiment before going all out with an fully fledged espresso machine. It's easy, and pressing the portafilter is just way more fun over pressing a button.

    • @Cafelista_Coffee
      @Cafelista_Coffee  4 месяца назад +3

      Hi Tristan,
      I prefer the Baristina over Nespresso too. It's true that there is almost zero maintenance but I wonder about the longevity of the machine because we can't access the brew group.

    Thanks for the honest review. At $400 USD, this is simply not worth it. For a little more, you can get a 2000 or 3000 series espresso machine with a lot more features and flexibility. Or for less than $300, you can get a well-made Breville knock-off (with grinder).

    2. Ergernis
    3. Transport naar de Coolblue winkel Haarlem
    4. Cups van de reserve machine ja een Philips 😛
    Het is echt niet leuk meer.
    Ik wil hem best opsturen maar dan ga ik ook de media opzoeken want ik ben er echt klaar mee.
