Xiaomi Launches Budget-Friendly Espresso Machine in the Philippines

Coffee lovers, here’s something you might want to add to your kitchen wishlist. Xiaomi, the brand known for its smart gadgets and tech devices, has now stepped into the coffee game with a compact and affordable espresso machine that’s now officially available in the Philippines.

This new espresso machine from Xiaomi offers an impressive balance between design and function. It’s sleek, minimalist, and only 14cm wide, so it fits neatly even in smaller kitchen spaces. Whether you place it on your dining counter or a small coffee nook, it won’t be an eyesore.

What makes this machine even more appealing is how easy it is to use. It features a touchscreen interface that responds quickly and makes brewing coffee a breeze, even for beginners. Xiaomi didn’t hold back on features either, considering the price.

It delivers up to 20 bars of pressure, which is more than enough to extract that rich crema and flavor from your coffee grounds. Plus, it uses a low-pressure pre-infusion system that gently prepares the coffee for extraction, helping you get a smooth and even shot every time.

Users can also choose between single (40mL) and double (80mL) shot options, depending on how strong or how much coffee they need. Whether you're pulling a quick solo espresso during work hours or making a cup for a friend, it’s easy to customize.

The machine has a smart temperature control system as well. This ensures you don’t get that bitter, burnt taste from overheating, or weak coffee from water that's too cool. The result? A cup that tastes just right.

For those who enjoy milky coffee drinks like lattes or cappuccinos, there’s a built-in rotary steam wand that can create that smooth, silky froth baristas are known for. Surprisingly, this compact machine also lets you brew tea, which adds another layer of value and versatility.

Other notable features include a 0.9-liter removable water tank, a textured handle with a pressurized basket for better espresso shots, and a drip tray that’s easy to clean.

As for the price, it retails at PHP 4,599 but is currently available at a discounted PHP 3,599 if you use a Shopee voucher through the Xiaomi Global store.

If you’re looking for an affordable way to start making café-style drinks at home, this Xiaomi espresso machine might just be what your kitchen’s been missing.
