- Just before the end of the year 2024, Baristina still in use and no reason for further updates until something unforseen happens. Thanks all for watching, commenting (sometimes hilarious) and bringing combined views almost to 100K!
For now a ‘final’ update on the Baristina. Tried various beans, did some de-scaling, encountered some issues (portafilter not always moving back to the original position), and still enjoying the libaration from ‘cups’. Happy
I truly appreciate you doing these videos. It’s so helpful to see a real person demonstrate. Thank you!
Thank you for doing these videos. Thinking about this machine vs a super automatic.
thanks for sharing your opinion. i searched a lot, viewed some tests but was not sure if this is a good machine on the long term.
i ordered it now 😊
For a 300 EUR machine I think 5 months (or 1 or 2 years you are closing your video with) is rather short to stay working like it should. What do you think causes the sliding back issue? Is it just poor quality materials and technology? And what about your conclusions on the beans? You have used variations but which coffee beans gave the best results? And did you see a difference in extraction time?
Thank you
hi, have you used a moka pot yet? I have saw good reviews online about moka pot coffee but when i tried it with good beans - a good grinder and with both hot and not so warm water the coffee result was so bitter and bad!
Hi Just! Thanks for sharing! Two questions: Amazon reviews show that many people complain about drying coffee powder falling down from the right side of the machine over time while drying. Did you not have that issue? // Secondly: would you mind testing an "Americano" ... by using a Lungo first ...cleaning the filter ...then pressing middle button 5 seconds - then machine would add 110 ml of water... which actually would make a nice Americano. But does it taste well too? Thanks!
yes we sometimes have coffee powder falling out on the right side. not so much of an issue, needs some cleaning. about your second question; do you mean to make a espresso and then ad water via the center button? a lungo and extra water seems to be too much?
@@justalferink7427 Thank you so much! Yeah, hot water with middle button (5 sec) on top of Espresso or Lungo to make it Americano - or to use the hot water to pre-heat espresso cups would be my idea / concern.
What other users are complaining about is some coffee powder the get stuck to the "tamper" and it will eventually fall off. So, I will clean the tamper with a clean cloth every few runs. Unfortunately, the Baristina does not stay as clean as a Nespresso machine, it requires some cleaning, but still much less work than a regular espresso machine.
What are some of your favourite beans with this machine for a decent price that you bought in the Netherlands?
always the question; what is a decent price? my/our favourite beans are (by far) the 'Arabella' (organic) from Simon Levelt. (€ 8.25/250 gram).
Does the pressure leak persisted after this brew?
@@favs6622 No this only happened once! the issue with the handle not sliding back by itself not solved. the spring remains weak
get some real coffee beans from local shops. the ones you tried are all burned way to long
