9Barista Heat Transfer Plate
Product details
A replacement heat transfer plate for the 9Barista stovetop espresso machine. It sits between the hob and the machine on gas, electric and ceramic cookers, and it is the plate that comes as standard with the 9Barista Mk.1 and with Mk.2 machines set up for non-induction stoves.
The plate is made from a single piece of aluminium and replaced 9Barista’s original multi-part heat exchanger plate. With no bonded layers it will not delaminate or bow out of shape, and on the same gas setting it brings the machine up to temperature faster than the old plate. It does not work on induction hobs.
- Fits: 9Barista Mk.1 and Mk.2
- Material: Single piece of aluminium
- Hob types: Gas, electric and ceramic (not induction)
- Recommended gas ring: 5 to 7 cm across
- Finish: Black, turning red and then silver with use

Questions? We are here to help
What the heat transfer plate does
The 9Barista needs steady heat under its boiler to build 9 bar of pressure and brew within the 3 to 6 minutes 9Barista recommends. The plate sits under the boiler and passes the heat from the hob into the base of the machine. On a domestic gas stove it should always be used. On electric, coil or ceramic hobs, 9Barista suggests using it if the machine takes longer than 6 minutes to produce a coffee.
Why it changes colour
New plates are black. After some use the surface turns red and then silver. This is expected, and 9Barista treats it as a sign that the plate is passing enough heat to the machine.
Getting a long life out of it
The plate is made for ordinary domestic hobs. 9Barista recommends a medium gas ring of around 5 to 7 cm, or a medium electric ring, and only turning the heat on once the 9Barista is sitting on the plate. Wok burners, industrial stoves and camping gas stoves put out more heat than the plate is designed for and can damage it. On a camping gas stove the 9Barista goes straight on the burner without a plate. A plate damaged by overheating no longer transfers heat well, and the machine may stop brewing properly. Keep the handles and chimney out of direct heat where you can.
Heat transfer plate or induction plate?
9Barista’s original silver heat exchanger plate worked on both gas and induction, but it is no longer made, and it could bow or separate into layers if it was left on the heat too long, preheated or cooled with water. If yours has gone, the replacement depends on your hob: this plate for gas, electric and ceramic, or the 9Barista Induction Adaptor Plate for induction. The heat transfer plate will not work on an induction hob.
