Philips Baristina Plus

The stainless-steel Baristina: swipe the handle and it grinds, tamps and brews espresso, lungo or a dedicated iced coffee from a 170 g hopper, with no milk system. For people who want bean-to-cup simplicity in a 7.2-inch-wide machine that looks like metal rather than plastic.

Features

Built-in GrinderTilt-to-Brew One SwipeAuto Dose and TampIced CoffeeIntensity Boost Button16-Bar PumpStainless Steel Body

Pros

  • ✓Same one-swipe grind-tamp-brew workflow as the Baristina, in a stainless steel body instead of the recycled-plastic shell
  • ✓Dedicated Iced Coffee recipe starts hot and then cools the flow for over-ice drinks, which the original Baristina does not have
  • ✓Rated at 72 dB and bean-to-cup in under a minute, with a button that pops the spent puck out of the portafilter
  • ✓Intensity Boost grinds a larger dose for a stronger shot without any dialing-in

Cons

  • ✗No steam wand and no hot-water outlet, so milk drinks mean the Baristina Latte or a separate frother and tea means a kettle
  • ✗Grind size is fixed: the ceramic grinder sets its own dose, and you cannot correct a bean that runs sour or bitter
  • ✗Proprietary portafilter with a non-removable pressurized basket rules out standard accessories
  • ✗Single-serve only: 40 ml espresso or 110 ml lungo per cycle, one cup at a time
  • ✗$30 more than the Baristina Latte, which includes the Smart Wand milk system
