The 9Barista espresso machine, a British-made stovetop brewer the size of a moka pot, uses a twin-boiler system inspired by jet engines to produce true espresso with crema at home.
01Summary
- 01The 9Barista costs $740 or more and was launched on Kickstarter.
- 02It uses a twin-boiler system: one boiler builds nine bars of pressure, a second regulates temperature to 93 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 03Standard moka pots use one or two bars of pressure and do not make true espresso.
- 04Recommended use: 18 grams of espresso beans to 120ml of water, with extraction taking 25 to 30 seconds.
- 05Stovetop heat is a key variable; the reviewer found a setting of 6.5 out of 10 worked best.
02Why it matters
For coffee enthusiasts who want true espresso without a bulky machine, this compact device brings professional-level extraction to a standard stovetop, though it requires patience to master the heat control.
