Know before you buy
No, this heat transfer plate is specifically designed for non-induction cooktops, such as gas, electric, or ceramic stoves. If you are using an induction cooktop, the 9Barista machine is designed to work directly on the surface without this accessory.
The plate features a heat-sensitive coating that changes color as it reaches the optimal temperature range. This provides a visual cue, helping you identify when the plate is ready for brewing and preventing you from overheating the machine.
Yes, the plate is versatile enough to be used with other stovetop coffee makers, such as moka pots. It helps distribute heat more evenly across the base of the pot, which can prevent localized burning and improve extraction consistency.
The plate is constructed from diffusion-bonded aluminum and stainless steel, a combination chosen specifically for its durability and resistance to warping under high heat. It is built to withstand the repeated thermal cycles required for daily espresso brewing.
Gas stoves often produce uneven, intense flames that can cause hot spots or overheat the 9Barista unit too quickly. This plate acts as a thermal buffer, diffusing the flame's energy to ensure a steady, controlled heat transfer that protects the machine and improves brewing stability.
