CNET tested the 9Barista Pro, a British-made manual espresso brewer shaped like a moka pot but priced at $740 or more. Unlike traditional moka pots, which can't generate enough pressure for true espresso, the 9Barista uses a jet-engine-inspired design to reach espresso-level pressure on a regular stovetop. The product originally launched via Kickstarter before reaching retail.

A CNET writer found that an inexpensive attachable milk thermometer solved persistent problems with over- or under-steamed milk for latte art. By monitoring exact temperature instead of relying on touch, the writer could pull the steam wand at the right moment, producing consistently velvety milk rather than scalded or watery results.
