The espresso coffee machine market is diverse, with options ranging from basic models priced around 200 euros to nearly professional-grade machines costing over 1000 euros. Over time, machines that include a coffee bean reservoir and an integrated grinder have become more popular, gradually replacing the previously favored pod-based machines. One such model is the Baristina Latte, which features an automatic milk frother and is available in white and black. The filter holder, a key component, comes in seven colors, including white, black, pink, yellow, green, beech wood, and walnut wood. The wooden versions of the filter holder raise the machine’s price to 524.99 euros. The Baristina Latte is a manual espresso machine with an integrated bean grinder, offering a pump pressure of 16 bars and a ceramic grinder that automatically tamps the coffee. It includes a steam wand for frothing milk, a 1.2-liter removable water reservoir, and a 170-gram coffee bean reservoir. The machine measures 25.9 x 34.5 x 37.8 cm and weighs 6.3 kg. It operates at around 72 decibels and consumes about 139 watts of power, with a standby consumption of just 0.26 watts. It is constructed using 50% recycled plastic, and the filter holder is made of plastic and stainless steel. Designed with a round, cute shape, the Baristina Latte is said to blend well with any kitchen decor. However, the machine is entirely made of plastic, though of good quality and matte finish, giving it a premium feel. Assembly quality is not perfect, as some joints between plastic parts are loose. Priced at 499 euros, it is considered a bit expensive compared to similar models such as the Delonghi Magnifica Start or the Ninja Luxe Café Mini, which cost around 400 euros. The basic model of the Baristina is available for 299.99 euros. The Baristina Latte includes four buttons: steam wand, espresso, intensity boost, and lungo. A small diode lights up to signal when it’s time to descale the machine. The 170-gram coffee bean reservoir is located on top of the machine, while the 1.2-liter water reservoir has a cover that must be fully removed to open. The machine has a draining tray that can be adjusted depending on the size of the container used. The steam wand is removable for cleaning and can pivot vertically, with a wheel to select different types of foam. The filter holder is available in a wide range of colors and is part of Philips' original system. Unlike traditional manual machines, users simply insert an empty filter holder, push the lever to the right, and the machine automatically grinds the beans, fills the filter, and returns the lever to its original position, using a spring system.
