9Barista Reviews 629

Fantastic brewer. Exceeded all my expectations. Great espresso with a relatively easy learning curve.

Whilst it took a while for the order to be sent (they did say it would be a few weeks before order fulfilled when placing the order to be fair), when it did arrive a was delighted.
It looks and feels like a high quality product, is relatively straightforward to use, but most importantly it makes excellent espresso

Hello I recently(2 weeks) got my Barista 9mk2. I was very excited with this product. but ,after brewing several shoots, I notice that the coffee is lukewarm, not Hot
I love Hot coffee, not lukewarm!!! The quality of the espresso is overall good, although , I had tasted different consistencies. For the price that this machine cost, you can purchase. Nespresso Lattisima Pro that will give you 100th coffee consistency, time after time, and a hotter cup of espresso, for half the money. yes, I'm disappointed!! Juan, Perez

Good day,

9Barista MK2 PRO
esteemed interested parties!
I am a passionate lover of quality ristretto coffee.
I ordered this product based on reviews and the manufacturer's description; as I received it, so I returned it.
Aesthetically, it looks impeccable, but when extracting coffee, it does not compare to professional ristretto coffee.
Perhaps for the English or Germans who are used to compote, this machine is very good.
I used a very expensive Miele induction hob, and the coffee needs to sit for 10 minutes on the hob, then ground, prepared... taking at least 15 minutes to make one compote?
Personally, I do not recommend this machine for ristretto coffee drinkers!
I hope this description... comment is helpful to you.

Don't buy refurbished! Changes are that they send you a broken machine and blame the customer of misusing it. Like putting no water into the lower boiler! My machine lasted for 14 days ...... and customer service write long e-mails on how it is my fault. Very sad and frustrating. Even refurbished the machine is high in price ... so waste of money and time! I cannot give a positive reference and I would advise not to buy ...

Absolutely amazing machine, part availability is amazing and I sincerely thank 9barista for being big on supporting right to repair. Wish there was a referral program, one day I let a friend borrow it and they want to buy one for themselves.

Really great tasting coffee - IF the coffeemaker works.
It has been very inconsistant in its function and hasn't been a reliable coffeemaker.
Spent plenty of money on the equipment and ongoing cost for parts.

Having been introduced to the 9Barista back in early 2022, I was immediately impressed by the design, ingenuity, and engineering of the unit, this was a design that I had not seen before.

On paper the product is impressive and James Hoffmann’s review, made the decision easier that this would be worth the investment.

I placed an order in May 2022. Shipment to Australia was inside a week. When I firstly held the unit, its surprisingly heavy and a solid piece of engineering.

Now 2 years on with the 9Barista, having mastered it, this unit leave nothing but very impressive results each and every time.

In March / April 2025, I had purchased the recently released and upgraded components (Chimney and shower) as well as the IMS Basket, again shipping and product presentation all excellent, as well as the support and communication received from the company.

The 9barista really blew me away in every way! I've been following this coffee machine for 2-3 years. When the mk2 version dropped at the end of March, I couldn’t wait to buy it. It took less than a week to get from Cambridge, UK to Chongqing, China. When I unboxed it, it was truly a perfect piece of industrial art. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the coffee I brew with the 9barista tastes just as good as what you’d get from big name coffee chains like Starbucks, Manner, M Stand, or Peet's, which use semi-automatic machines worth tens of thousands of yuan. For home users, 9barista is definitely the perfect choice!

after making espresso the 9Barista is extremely difficult to open up It is unreasonable to be so difficult to open up the pot.

At the beginning I had some difficulties with my order, which the customer service solved perfectly. Now I've had my cute little machine for about a week and it's impressive: it's really easy to use and produces perfect espresso. I can only recommend it to any espresso lover who doesn't want to clutter up their kitchen with a huge electric machine.

I purchased a reconditioned MK1, it looks brand new. After I got the machine I saw I just missed out on the company's free dosing ring promotion. I contacted them and they where happy to send me one if I paid the postage. Done deal.

As for the coffee, I have only used it 6 or so times and still figuring out grind settings and hot plate temps in order to get the best results. I have been using a portable metal burr hand grinder with it as this will be my camp/travel coffee set up. While I haven't got it right just yet, the coffees I have made so far have been pretty nice (better than most cafes and almost as good as my home setup) but there is room for improvement as I'm not used to the machine yet. Also the hand grinder I have used with it, isn't as good as my home one.

I love the 9barista, the build quality and use of it are awesome. I really like it and the customer service has been great too. I'm pretty sure with time and practise I will be making amazing coffee with it.

At home I have a La Pavoni pro (pre mill with all the modifications and a Weber Workshop Grinder HG1). Which make great coffee.

Unfortunately the package was not delivered by DPD. At the beginnig I was in contact with the 9Barista-Team. Now (six days), there is silence without any solution made. Will keep you posted...

Update
After the easter holidays a nice neighbor brought me the package. So to make it clear, there was no problem with 9Barista, just with DPD. Unfortunately they deliver packages and the documentation make it impossible to evaluate where my package actually was. They left a note with no info, the online tracking indicates a wrong address (I visited the guy and he haven't received anything) and the delivery email added no new information. Also the customer care from DPD was not able to help and questioning the "driver" changed nothing. So please 9Barista make other delivery partners optional and do not keep the customer hanging in a situation not knowing how the case continues.

The 9Barista Mk2 Pro is a nice evolution. I have had a Mk1 before. The upgraded parts are good development. It doesn't make an improvement in coffee, but for me it delivers a double espresso in a shorter time and the "quality feeling" is improved. I am happy with it.

Does what it promises.

I bought the basket cap pro/mental chimney/dosing funnel, all the products are delicate and with nice texture.

Very fast delivery such a beautiful product... LYW

Quick delivery to Australia. Securely packaged.

When I had the mk1, I bought the mk2 again. 9Barista is definitely an espresso making machine with stable quality and excellent structure. The mk2 has improved the potential problem of the cap of basket being easily deformed in the first generation, and the appearance and structure are more refined. What is more undoubted is that the quality of the expresso coffee liquid is very stable. I would like to introduce such high-quality products to my friends and family. I am happy to have both mk1 and mk2 at the same time.

9 barista dealt with my troublesome order very well. They adjusted the delivery time for me and answered all my suggestions and queries on a personal basis, which is a refreshing change in this age of “computer say no”. The 15% discount was welcome bonus and the new Mk 2 version is a vast improvement on the old one. Everything seems to be better machined and finished.I’m well pleased!
