how does 9 whole baristas fit in there?

[cocoa_soda]

As a daily user over 2 years, I think it's my best coffee gear that just fits in my tiny kitchen.

It is a work of art that makes good espresso. Fidgeting with parts adds an extra activity to the coffee hobby.

I have a 9Barista and I absolutely love it. It is the only alternative when space is limited and it travels well. Pair it with the Subminimal NanoFoamer Pro for a complete espresso machine alternative that can be put away for counter space. I recommend getting a second basket to speed up that second brew.

[HerbieBancock]

Doesn't claim an entire counter, no app, no subscription, works during weeks-long power outages, 90% of all repairs can be made with off-the-shelf silicone O-rings, discourages guests from hanging around too long. It's perfect.

Have owned the 9B since May 2022, I love the engineering and the coffee produced. The profiling of the unit (pressure) bring out some beautiful sweetness in the cup.

Thank you for this lovely review Morgan, we're glad to hear that the machine tickles you and that you enjoyed brewing with it!

I have been using 9barista for 2.5 years. It works as well as day 1 and it makes delicious espresso very consistently. As Morgan said it's not a back to back espresso machine, also not for people that like to tweak settings like pre-infusion, flow rate, pressure..etc, otherwise it's wonderful.

Always interesting to hear about diffrent brewers etc

I love my 9Barista! I use it for travel and camping. Works every time and produces amazing espresso.

I made this my Christmas present and am really very in love with it. (Together with a DF54 grinder update.)
It's an exciting and fun machine. And such an incredible build quality.

I have a tiny kitchen so this would be perfect... unfortunately, its a bit pricy, and my wife always wants espresso too, so not doing back-to-back shots is a deal breaker. Thanks for highlighting that.

The search for a relatively cheap and compact machine continues.

[schindlerific]

I use mine daily. A digital scale is a must. The only variables are grind and bean. Once you dial it in, it is fantastic and convenient. Although I admit I never make back to back shots. But if it meets your needs it is a beautiful machine to own that works great!

Just realized that this video is really great for testing TV dynamic range, never seen this much detail on the background cabinets and your t-shirt before switching to this TV. By the way your coffee videos are nicely filmed

I have one of these, and it's my daily driver! I find it to be the very best balance of counterspace, convenience, and aesthetics. While that price point may turn some of you away, compare that price point with a decent quality compressor-driven espresso machine, which the 9barista can match in quality of coffee, and it doesn't sound too far off. That said, you absolutely can get the same quality of espresso at a much cheaper price point with an entry level Flair. The advantage that the 9barista has over a flair is its convenience, in that all you need to put effort into is figuring out what heat setting on the stove works best when you first get it and dialing in your grind setting. With a flair or other manual espresso machine, you need to be careful about the amount of pressure you're applying over time, where the 9barista does that automatically with one moving part that's easily replaceable. I had a manual espresso machine before my 9barista, and I found the 9barista something I could much more easily fit into my daily routine with little effort. Little tip for time efficiency, you can put the boiler on the stove to heat while you do your puck preparation. You should finish with plenty of time to lock in the portafilter. After pulling your shot, you can also run the boiler under cool water to flash cool it (the instructions say this is okay) in order to depressive and prepare for the next shot. Still not as convenient as a compressor-driven espresso machine, but perfectly fine for serving two or three people.

The 9Bar is my travel companion. I do keep it separate with my carry on as it will be checked out in security, but has never caused an issue. I pre pack 18g pouches of beans and grind them as needed. As far as back to back goes I run cold water over it, release pressure clean and go. I’d say a five minute turn around.
Yes expensive, so it’s about priorities. Starting my day with a couple of excellent shots is a must for me so the cost was well worth it. My unit is 3 years old and been around the world.

Beautiful, another addition to my wish list 😊

[crazylittleenby]

Cant wait to finish this video! Been so long since I've watched a coffee video

[lurantelix]

This one is something I always wanted to own, always so cool to see it in action!

[APWaddington]

This is the best review I have seen of this espresso maker, thank you Morgan
