The espresso is creamy and has flavor notes, even on my first and second try. Once I watched the 9Barista Youtube direction video, I had no problem. I have an induction stove, so it has taken longer... See more

I bought the 9Barista for travelling and am delighted. At home I have a Pavoni and a Rancillio and the 9Barista makes at least as good coffee as its two colleagues. Be careful not to overheat the 9Bar... See more

About 9Barista

Written by the company

Based in Cambridge, UK, 9Barista designs and makes precision-engineered stove-top espresso machines, capable of producing café-quality espresso at home or on the go.

Made from premium materials and precision-engineered components, 9Barista machines are built to last. And the results speak for themselves; consistent, delicious shots of espresso time after time.

The 9Barista story

William Playford, 9Barista’s founder, has two great passions in life; jet engines and espresso coffee. He started building jet engines as a teenager and went on to study jet engineering at Cambridge.

His love for good coffee started in Italy, slowly turning from love to something of an obsession. But how are these two things linked?

Well, top-quality espresso machines need three things to make perfect coffee: high pressures, perfectly controlled temperatures and precision-engineered components. The same three things that a jet engine requires.

William decided that if anyone could engineer a small but perfectly formed home espresso machine, it was him.

Finally, five years later, 9Barista, the first ever jet-engineered stove-top coffee machine was born.

Love it so far!

The machine is made extremely well and works exactly as intended! Would highly recommend. The only suggestion I’d say is allow a free swap of the regular portafilter and the naked. Also, the handles could be more study / upgraded. With that being said, I happy with it and it makes fantastic espresso!

Amazing

Amazing. After running through the initial water only flushing exercise I noticed there was very little water in the portafilter. According to the folks at 9Barista this is normal and my first attempt with coffee was amazing, 3min30sec later Boom. Better than many/any shop espresso. What a fantastic experience.

The Perfect Espresso Machine for the True Italian Coffee Lover

It seems expensive initially but now, after more than 1 year I can tell everybody how robust and solid is this coffee machine that will last forever. Some part can break, like in any machine, but in 9Barista shop they have all the spare parts. This review is made after receiving spare parts, and new accessories too!

I'm Italian, and we are quite demanding for our Espresso: I'm making an Home espresso like in best italian Caffetteria with 9Barista, + a good quality Coffee Grinder, and Good Quality Coffee.

Many thanks,

Incredible Espresso Machine

I’ve been extremely impressed and happy with the machine, and can't imagine making coffee any other way.

The customer service I received from Molly and George has also been outstanding.

My thanks to William and the rest of the team for all your work in bringing it about!

Compared to my previous expensive…

Compared to my previous expensive espresso machine which break down in 15 months, 9barista is amazing. Stable crema, easy to maintain. The only thing is it’s hard to make 2nd cup right away. I need to do some weight training to twist open water chamber even when it’s completely cool down. But everything else is great.
