Got the knock box after an unexpected speedy delivery (48 hours international delivery). Very happy with the product. Unboxed it and found a dent on one of its edge. Probably due to lack of bubble wrapping, it got damaged during shipment. The knock box was shipped inside a cardboard box fitting the item perfectly. But no wrapping or bumper included. Had to straighten the bent with a plier. Small imperfections remains, but item works perfectly. Love it!
Read quite a few reviews about this 9Barista coffeemaker and it always read really well, but you can never be sure if it was gonna be worth the money. Hands-down best coffee I’ve ever had at home. It really does produce a fantastic coffee. This will be the only coffee machine I’ll be using from now on for my double shot espressos. I’ve teamed the 9Barista with the Handpresso grinder and love the consistency I get with every cup. Highly recommend this for serious espresso drinkers.
Great communication throughout order process, fantastic product, helpful service. Couldn't ask for much more thank you
Glad I got this over the 3. It make around 320-350ml which I dilute with hot water. I'll happily drink the whole lot.
Dipacci accepted my order, but didn't deliver. A week later, the owner called me to say they had a stock issue, had ordered another machine, and it would be with me in a few days. This went on for another 2 or 3 weeks, with me chasing delivery, getting promises of delivery, and those not being met. Almost a month after the order, I finally got the machine, with 4 sample packs of coffee as "compensation". It all worked out ok in the end - the machine is great, was well packed, I love it. But that was very poor service for online purchase of an expensive item, and negates the whole reason for online buying (convenience).
A good start and intro to single-dose grinding.
The coffee is light, fluffy, and doesn't clump together. However, there is significant retention. I tested retention with old and fresh roasted beans at various settings, 2 through 8 on the dial. Each time, between 1 and 3 grams are retained within the grinder. The grinder requires a knock to the side to dislodge the coffee. Pressing on the bellows setup does little to clear out any residual grinds. This is frustrating on two levels. Firstly, you are wasting 2 to 4% of a 21-gram shot, and secondly, if it doesn't fall through with a knock, it is likely to land in your next dose, which yields a mix of old, expired grinds and new, fresh grinds. Happy to demo with videos if this helps provide feedback to improve the grind.
My grinder was out of service far longer than I expected. Wrong size springs were sent initially, nothing even close to their advertised picture.I Had to send 2 messages to get any response from them, finally after several days, second time round, I received the correct springs. Wouldn’t deal with this company again. Not reliable enough for me.
Seller was slow the dispatch and hard to communicate with, when I messaged them.
Love the item, has all the functions this teasnob wants
The coffee machine is excellent, especially after using a De'Longhi for a few years. The only thing that concerns me is that it was manufactured in 2019... It’s been sitting around collecting dust for six years... Hmm...
I bought this tea for something different.
i only ever drink water with the exception of my 1-2 coffees a day, so i personally wasnt a fan but My partner is a tea drinker and loves all kinds of tea blends and he really really likes this one so i will definitely buy more for him as he likes having fruity teas for when he craving something sweet like lollies but doesnt want to mindlessly eat anything.
I tried this blend based on a friend's recommendation. Unfortunately the taste i found to be not for my palette - potentially too dark of a roast for me. I had bought 1kg but have only used a 1/4 of it. I probably should have tried a different blend.
