What pressure and temperature does the 9Barista Mk.2 use?
The Mk.2 uses its twin-boiler system to regulate brewing at 9 bar and about 93°C. The manufacturer describes the system as using one boiler for pressure and a two-stage heat exchanger to cool brew water to the target temperature.
How much coffee, water, and espresso does it make?
For the Standard configuration, 9Barista specifies 17–20 g of freshly ground coffee and 110–120 ml of water. The stated output is 40–45 g, or approximately 40 ml, which the manufacturer describes as a large double shot.
Which stovetops work with the Mk.2 Standard?
The non-induction Standard configuration is supplied with a heat-transfer plate for gas, electric, and ceramic stoves. The machine can also be used on induction when ordered with the induction option and adaptor plate; the machine itself is unchanged and only the plate differs.
How long does brewing take, and is preheating required?
From cold, the manufacturer gives an estimated brewing time of 3–6 minutes, depending on the stove. No separate preheating routine is required. The stated maximum time on the stove is 8 minutes, and the recommended extraction time is 25–30 seconds.
What is included with the Standard configuration?
The Standard package includes the Mk.2 machine, a standard portafilter, 53 mm basket, silicone basket cap, wooden handles, a 53 mm tamper, the appropriate heat-transfer or induction plate, a spare boiler O-ring, a spare safety ring, and a user guide.
What warranty and replacement-part support does it have?
The Mk.2 Standard includes a five-year manufacturer warranty. 9Barista also lists replacement safety rings and silicone O-ring seals for both Mk.1 and Mk.2. If water leaks from the small hole in the safety ring, the manufacturer says the safety ring has activated and must be replaced before continued safe operation.
