- Grinding degree of the grinder cannot be changed
- Powder is not pressed very hard
Espresso and lungo can be prepared quickly with the Baristina, but it is not possible to customise the grind or water temperature. In comparison, the machine is very affordable and easy to use. There is no milk frother. Philips offers an electric Baristina milk frother as an accessory for around 90 euros, but there are also electric alternatives or manual models.
