Mostly great, except one little annoyance
Color: Black&Silver, Color: Black&Silver
Pros- lightweight, small, very accurate, easy to clean, timer included.
Cons- I use this to brew espresso on my Breville Touch and to get an accurate reading, you have to place something flat (structured) under the scale. Otherwise the reading just jumps all over the place. I know lot of espresso machines have the same base, so this might be an issue for some!
This is my reason for 4/5 stars. It’s an easy fix, it’s just kind of annoying. Value for the price seems to be on point. It’s easy to clean. It has a timer as well as scale (nice for espresso). Buttons work the first time you push them.
That’s it that’s all

Great Coffee at Home with Beautiful Design!
Color: Beige, Color: Beige
Absolutely love this espresso machine! It’s easy to use, heats up quickly, and makes rich, flavorful coffee with nice crema. The milk frother works great for lattes and cappuccinos, and the design looks beautiful on my countertop. Great value for the price — highly recommend!

Good option 👌
Color: Silver
The Neretva Máquina de café expreso de 20 bares stands out for its compact and elegant stainless steel design, making it ideal for anyone who wants to prepare barista-style coffee at home. Its 20-bar pressure system delivers rich espresso with excellent aroma and crema, while the steam wand allows you to create smooth and consistent milk foam for lattes and cappuccinos. The LED display and practical size make it a modern, functional, and user-friendly option for everyday use.

Great little espresso machine for home
Color: Silver
I purchased this as a test case for home latte making. Considering the price, it is an excellent starter machine. The learning curve is not very dramatic and it is relatively easy to maintain. Unit is attractive and build quality is very good. Be sure to use filtered water. I have been using it regularly for months now and it has proved reliable. This has a very small footprint and would fit on most countertops. If you are looking for a starter espresso maker, this is a great option until you want to get really serious.

Pretty good machine!
Color: Silver
I’ve had the machine for about a month now and I like it! There is a learning curve but once you figure it out it’s pretty easy to use.
For reference: I make a double latte every morning. I use 150 mLs of oat milk and froth/steam the milk for about 40-45 seconds. I refill the water tank weekly.
Star deduction because the manual that comes with the machine isn’t great. The FAQ table is ambiguous and the entire manual is poorly written.
