Baristina

I’ve been using the Philips Baristina Espresso Machine every day, and it has made my coffee routine incredibly simple and enjoyable. The machine uses fresh coffee beans, which gives every cup a rich aroma and great flavor. I love how easy it is to use, just one swipe and the machine grinds, brews, and delivers quality coffee in moments. Another thing I appreciate is how quiet it is during operation. It’s also very easy to clean and maintain, making it practical for everyday use. Overall, it’s a convenient espresso machine (with a great design too) that consistently delivers delicious coffee with minimal effort.

The Baristina (BAR302/20) does what it claims: load whole beans, swipe the handle, and it grinds, tamps, and brews a shot in under a minute. The ceramic burr grinder and 16-bar pump produce a consistent, well-extracted espresso with good crema. It handles Espresso, Lungo, and Extra Intense settings reliably. It's compact, quiet, and easy to clean — you just rinse the portafilter, with no hidden compartments. The build is mostly plastic but feels solid, and the white finish with the wood handle looks good on a counter. Worth knowing before buying: there's no grind-size adjustment, so you can't dial in a shot if it tastes off, and there's no built-in milk frother — you'll need a separate one for lattes or cappuccinos. For straight espresso made simple and consistent, it works well and is good value.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually love this! It’s so cute and compact and I love the colours! So aesthetically pleasing! Found it really easy to use and great that it grinds the beans rather than needing an actual grinder too. Easy to clean and quick to use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a sleek and modern espresso machine which is easy to use and easy to maintain. The espresso machine itself looks beautiful in my kitchen set up and I love the full automation of the process. Moving onto the milk frother, I found this works well with dairy and non-dairy alternatives. Gave a particularly good froth to my oat milk. In conclusion, it's a lovely espresso machine and the added milk frother makes it perfect for any hot and cold coffees.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took me a few attempts to find the right coffee beans to put it in but other than that it’s amazing. So easy to refill the water and bean section. It was really easy to set up. After a few attempts I made the perfect espresso. I now use it like I have had it for years and it never fails. Beautiful coffee with every use. It makes making fresh coffee easy. Has a sleek design and fits into my kitchen perfectly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Influenster to test in exchange for my review. I've been using this coffee machine and milk frother for a few weeks now and I really like it. Firstly, it looks gorgeous in my kitchen! It's a really nice in-between where it's nicer than a pod machine, but so much simpler, quicker and easier to use than a full espresso machine. It takes whole beans and has 3 settings depending on the size and strength of coffee you want. Easy to clean as well thanks to the button to get rid of used grounds easily! It also came with a milk frother which is a really nice addition, also very easy to use and can be used to create hot, frothy milk or just to heat milk. This is a little less easy to clean because the hot milk sticks to the inside, however the parts are magnetic which makes it easier and feels premium. No issues using either of them so far, would recommend!

Great little machine and so Lightweight fits in lovely in my kitchen. Looks lovely and classy. Open the top put in the beans. Place the cup under the dispenser and let it do its work. I didn’t get the milk frothy so bought a hand held one which is easy to use. So I get a lovely frothy coffee
