9Barista Espresso Machine Review: Is it everything I've ever wanted?

If you’re on the hunt for a unique espresso brewing experience, the 9 Barista espresso machine is a game changer. This ingenious device doesn’t require electricity, making it perfect for home use while delivering genuine espresso with impressive 9 bars of pressure.

In our unboxing and assembly, we discovered that the machine is comprised of three parts, including a fascinating bottom water chamber that plays a crucial role in its operation. This chamber contains two water compartments, which hold up to 120 mL of cold water. When heated, the water builds pressure, allowing for a perfectly brewed espresso.

The design features a cooling system where boiling water from the lower chamber cools the upper compartment, preparing the water for extraction. The spiral middle compartment ensures the water reaches just the right temperature before passing through a shower screen and into an upside-down portafilter.

While the 9 Barista is not for everyone—it requires some finesse to dial in your grind and has a six-minute wait time for extraction—it’s ideal for coffee enthusiasts eager to explore a different brewing method. For those looking to experiment with their coffee, this innovative machine is highly recommended and earns the Dipacci stamp of approval. Happy brewing!
