The quick read

Who is it
really for?

TWO REASONS TO SHORTLIST

Stovetop true-pressure espresso

  • + Brews and steams at the same time
  • + Uses very little bench space and can travel

9Barista MK.2 is a portable & lever machine without an integrated grinder, suited to stovetop true-pressure espresso. Compare its Australian price band, milk system, heat system and skill level. Its stovetop dual boiler system and none workflow are the two details most likely to shape daily ownership.

TWO REASONS TO THINK TWICE

Account for the complete setup

  • − Manual pressure and workflow take practice
  • − No built-in option for milk drinks

This machine leaves grinding to separate equipment, adding cost and bench space. Australian stock, colours and inclusions can vary by retailer.
