Neretva 20 Bar Espresso Coffee Machine with Steam Wand for Latte Espresso and Cappuccino, Compact Espresso Maker For Home Barista, 1350W Premium Italian High Pressure - Mint Green

The media could not be loaded. Love this coffee maker. Wanted something to make lattes and all sorts of hot beverages and I landed with this retro looking one. It works great! The quality is amazing for the price! 10/10 easy to install comes with instructions and is easy to maintain and clean. If you are looking for a great machine that won’t hurt your budget this is the one! It’s sleek and retro style keeps it from taking up too much counter space while allowing me to make a personal or double latte/coffee

I liked it very much at first sight, checked the manual, the operation is very simple, this machine is very easy to use, I use my own coffee powder and filtered water, this machine is basically plug and play. The dispenser is easy to clean, as is the drip tray since it can be removed or anything else wiped down. I like that the tank is removable because I can fill it with filtered water and take it to my machine. The hot water arm is great, I often use it to quickly heat water for tea, so it's a great value for me. The machine also has a small footprint and I can slide it into where I used to have a small kettle and cups.Overall, this is a great machine, perfect for a cup of coffee and a quick way to hear how much water you might need.

What I like:The look is retro and very cute. Yes, the machine is mostly plastic; it would cost a lot more if it were a solid stainless machine. The espresso tastes delicious. The single or double shot feature works very well. For people sensitive to caffeine the double-shot is more manageable. I personally use one single and one double shot for a 12 oz. latte. I love that the top of the machine doubles as a warmer, so if you are patient you can turn it on 15 minutes before brewing and get the cups hot, or keep your extra steamed milk waiting for a second round! I noticed some reviews claim that the steamer intermittently shoots water and steam- that also happened to me on my first try because I didn't press the steamer button and wait for it to stop blinking. The water will shoot out of the steamer if left in espresso mode; maybe that was the issue because I've had other machines that automatically switch from water to steam just by opening the steamer.What could be better:As other reviewers noted, the dial goes up to 20 bar, but the machine is not performing at 20 bar. However, the dial sure looks cool, just saying! I haven't seen any 20 bar machines for the same price; you get what you pay for. The other disadvantage is that the settings buttons are where my hand tends to be when I am changing out the grounds. So I've bumped the buttons and started brewing without coffee attached and had to pull the plug. But I'm guessing that I will adapt, and also the lock mechanism for the filter will get less stiff with more use, so I won't be grabbing the machine in the same way after a while. Besides, the buttons look very retro right at the front of the machine- did I mention how pretty this machine is? I'm happy with my purchase.

I got this espresso machine for my wife for Christmas, she loved it. Worked great until about a month ago it started turning on and brewing by itself on the middle of the day and at night. So much so that it will over flow onto our counter. Now it won’t even do anything. The lights blink and we have made sure everything was completely off with the steam nozzle. It is a real disappointment.

I love how pretty this is and its so easy to use. I use Cafe Bustelo espresso ground coffee from Target and I love the taste. the only thing I have a problem with is the steamer. it is super loud and doesn't fit to the bottom of many cups. I just bought a steamer cup and it works a little better. but still not great.

I’ve had this machine for a little over a year. I used it almost every day. It just stopped working one day. The lights come on (don’t flash) but it’s not brewing. Bummer

Makes a good espresso, but I bought this thing about three months ago and the inside of the spot that you put coffee in not the strainer but the other thing it’s starting to show rust on the inside and it’s not a spot that gets worn. It’s just where the coffee and the water flow through down to the cup.

Beautiful, easy to use, and makes great coffee. I would definitely buy this again.
