I tested Philips’s new ‘budget’ Baristina espresso machine — but I’m more confused than impressed
The Philips Baristina is a curious espresso machine, with a handheld portafilter yet a totally automated grinding and dosing system.
The Philips Baristina espresso machine is an intriguing device as it can grind, dose, tamp, and brew espresso without any input from the user, aside from pressing the shot button. However, it also requires the manual emptying of the portafilter, which is a drawback for any manual machine. The espresso produced by this machine is described as "mid," and the price is around $200 higher than expected.
Despite this, it may still be a suitable choice for those who value speed, ease of use, and simplicity in their coffee-making process.
