The Philips Baristina is the coffee maker everyone has their eye on

Sleek, efficient, and simple

Philips Baristina

As a coffee writer, I consider myself fairly up-to-date on the latest developments in the world of new coffee and espresso makers. Yet, I just now learned that Philips makes espresso machines, making them a strong competitor in a market with dozens of top-tier brands. The Philips Bartistina has been on the market since last July, yet it’s trending now as one of the best espresso makers of 2025.

Suddenly, I’ve noticed advertisements for this sleek and slim espresso machine everywhere I turn. Offering one-swipe coffee perfection, the Philips Baristina is designed to create premium café-style espresso at home without the use of plastic pods. Suddenly, we’ve all got our eye on this powerful espresso machine — especially with Prime Day quickly approaching. This powerful little espresso machine can automatically grind, tamp, and brew your espresso or lungo shot with ease and minimal effort.

Available in Black or milky white, this sleek espresso maker also blends perfectly with modern kitchens. Or, if you’re looking for something bold, add some color to your espresso machine with the portafilter, available in finishes like elegant Ash Wood or Mango Yellow. In addition, you can also get the matching Baristina Milk Frother to make cold or hot frothed milk for lattes, cappuccinos, and more. Unlike many modern espresso machines, this machine stands out not only for its aesthetically pleasing style but also for its exceptional performance. This machine is designed with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind, made with more than 50% recycled plastics. Even though this espresso machine has been out for nearly a year, it’s easy to see why it’s trending now, as interest in sustainability in coffee continues to rise.

Celebrate America's 250th birthday with this special release
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Back in 1976, America was celebrating its bicentennial. For those unaware, that was the United States of America’s 200th birthday. Well, while we all enjoy the glow of sparklers and thunderous explosions of fireworks every July 4th, we haven’t really had anything exciting to celebrate since the mid-70s. That changes this year because 2026 is the US’s semiquincentennial (also known as its 250th birthday). So, you know we’re going to go all this year. The folks at Buzzard’s Roost are here to help with the revelry. Well known as an independent distiller, blender, and bottler of double oak whiskeys, the brand recently announced a special expression to celebrate this momentous holiday.
