Unboxing: Philips has designed a clever unboxing experience. The packaging opens like a gift, with flaps that fold outward like flower petals: one to the left, one to the right. A nice idea, a bit different from the norm. First impression: The box contains a QR code that you scan for a quick start. This takes you to the coffee machine's website, where you'll find a short introductory video, a quick guide, and the complete user manual. A clever move; you can tell Philips put some effort into this. The first cup of coffee brewed quickly, but honestly: it was a bit disappointing. There wasn't a nice crema, and the taste wasn't quite what I expected. We used Tchibo Aromatico Classico beans from Germany. Of course, the quality of the beans plays a major role, I get that. We also tried a decaffeinated version from another brand, and it tasted… Bean system: What makes this machine great is that you can switch between beans with a simple dial on the top. The left compartment holds the regular beans, the right the decaffeinated ones. However, if you look closely, you'll see that the separation isn't quite perfect. That was disappointing. If you put beans in the left compartment, some sometimes end up on the right. So, not 100% separation, a bit sloppy. Ease of use: Making a cup of coffee is a breeze. Select your desired button, slide the handle to the right, and the machine first grinds the beans. Then, the handle automatically slides back and your coffee is brewed. Caution: Don't use a cup that's too tall! The handle can knock the cup over if it bounces back. You can remove the drip tray to prevent this, but then you'll no longer have a drip tray. Incidentally, the machine does drip for quite a while, so a drip tray is necessary. Design/Appearance: It's a sleek, modern machine that looks great on the countertop. Other points: Removing coffee grounds is quite simple. Press the button, and the grounds fall out. Be careful: it can leak a little, so hold your hand under it when you throw it away. Rinse the handle and let it dry on a saucer. That seems better to me than putting it back in the dishwasher immediately after use. 1.1s Fast

I'm incredibly happy with my new Baristina. It's small, easy to use, and hassle-free to clean.
It's very convenient that you can use two different types of beans. In the morning, I need strong coffee, and in the afternoon, a lungo is sufficient. After use, I simply rinse the filter and that's it! Luckily, I don't need such a huge machine to make such good, tasty coffee.

I had the opportunity to test this machine, but I'm not convinced. It looks nice and isn't too big, so it fits easily in the kitchen. It's very intuitive, so you can get started right away. The coffee is nice and hot, and you can choose between lungo/espresso and even a special. The sound quality is really good! However, the machine frequently spilled ground coffee. There's a drip tray underneath, but it was also far off the mark and in my cup, which I'm not a fan of! If you're looking for it, it's because there's supposedly too much coffee in the piston, but I don't think there's any way to adjust that. You also have to clean it thoroughly. The piston is fairly easy to empty and rinse, but be sure to hold your hand underneath it because it does leak. You also have to check the machine itself, otherwise you'll find grounds in your cup. I'm also a bit skeptical about whether the separated beans are 100% effective, but perhaps they're not completely filling the cup. It's also a shame you can only make one cup at a time. I like to drink a large mug (don't get one that's too tall, as it gets a flying lesson when the piston pops back up – the instructions warn you about this!), but if you want two cups, you have to do the whole cleaning routine in between. I've also regularly had the piston not come out or not go back and forth. It could always be solved by turning the power off and back on, but it's definitely not practical. In short, I wouldn't recommend it.
