Espresso machine by Philips, model Baristina BAR300/60, in black. When the portafilter handle is swiped, the machine grinds the beans with a ceramic grinder, tamps the dose into the portafilter and brews with a 16 bar pump, in under a minute according to the manufacturer. It makes espresso and lungo with adjustable volume and an intensity boost. 170 g bean hopper, 1.2 l water tank and a maximum cup height of 135 mm. It has no milk system.
It takes little space: 180 mm wide, 345 mm high and 380 mm deep, weighing 5 kg, which suits small kitchens or people who drink black coffee.
