Neretva 15 Bar Espresso Machine with Milk Frother Steam Wand for Cappuccino, Latte, Macchiato, 1450W Professional Coffee Machine 1.8L Removable Water Tank For Home Barista (Silver), Medium, PE3690SU

This is my first espresso machine, I did quite a lot of research beforehand and landed on this one due to affordability and reviews mentioning the quality of espresso you can pull from this thing. This machine is super easy to use, very easy to clean, a great size and I’m pretty happy with the quality of espresso and steam! I have had it for about a month and have been dialing it in. Some days are hit and miss, but mostly due to my inconsistent grind size. I’ve had to exercise patience being an instant gratification person, but it’s been worth it and I’ve enjoyed getting to know this machine! I’ll say while it depends on the beans you use, the double shot filter probably is optimal at 16-18 grams vs. the 15 grams on the instruction. I don’t feel like the coffee is very strong with 15 grams only. The steam wand is easy to use, a good length, and the dial allows for good control! My only complaint, the little metal pucks that you put inside the portafilter are very tough to get out to clean, I’m always bending my nails trying to pull them out. I may swap out my portafilter altogether for a higher quality one. I would overall highly recommend this machine to anyone looking to get into making espresso at home and doesn’t want to spend a million on a higher quality machine. I think you get a lot of value with this machine for what you pay compared to the market.

I purchased espresso machine in May 2024 and it is already gone, it does not work anymore. I contacted company, they said since it is more than one year that I purchased it no warranty applies. They also added that the cost would likely exceed the value of the machine itself, so I better buy new one. We used it only a few times a week, one would expect that the espresso machine would last longer.

This was an rather spur of the moment purchase. After searching for many years for the right home espresso machine, this was recommended by Amazon after researching another machine we had seen on TV with rather lackluster reviews. I went to the suggested item and there were not thousands or reviews those that were, were excellent. I read several in addition to the features of the machine and we are so happy we did. We had lots of experience to fall back on with commercial units but limited exposure to home models. Breville and Mr Coffee Barista along with several stove top models were prior purchases. The Neretva was a. "Excellent" purchase. Top qualities are pressure output, superb cup of espresso, creamiest of espressos, speed of machine output, sturdy, compact, great looking...enough? Did I mention a great price? The only thing we can not review yet is the ultimate life of machine. We would highly recommend.

Bought for my in-laws, who drink lots of lattes, when they came to stay with us for a month. I wanted to provide a little taste of home for them. This machine did well, although it did not reach the ideal 7-9 bars of pressure as advertised. It generally reached 4-5 bars according to the gauge. They made 4-6 double shot lattes every day with fresh ground beans. The crema was thick, rich, and beautiful. They loved it! Easy to use, compact, sleek, no leakage. A lot less expensive than buying Starbucks that often, and got a better coffee and experience out of it. For those who said it leaked- perhaps they didn’t take off the silicon plug it came packaged in!

My machine lasted one year. It was used about 4 times a week. About 3 months ago it would smell like electrical wire melting and I could see smoke occasionally. It finally bit the dust. Very disappointed. It should have lasted for years, not just one. I have a 10 year old Keurig that is used several times a day and is still working. I will write another review if the company will reach out to me. But at this time DO NOT BUY!

OKAY Disclaimer: I used to be a barista and bought this espresso machine to sell coffee at my school during lunch period and now use it almost everyday. I have also had it for over a year and a half and have used it a LOT. Espresso Function: At first I thought this was just a bad espresso machine because I was using it incorrectly. If you want a perfect shot of espresso, it is actually a really good machine but you have to know how to use it. If you are a beginner, I would either watch a ton of videos and learn how to troubleshoot OR buy something more user friendly. BUT if you know how to use it and weigh out your grounds, stamp them with the included tool, and don't stamp it too hard... then you're golden and it makes great shots. Frother: The brother makes a very loud noise when using so that is annoying tbh BUT it does heat up the milk. However, if you're wanting to make really pretty latte art, it does not do the best at incorporating the air and frothing the milk to the right consistency. Size-wise: I literally kept the machine on a tiny desk in my tiny room. It is pretty portable and not huge so that was great because I could take it to and from school and it's not too heavy!

Très bonne machine. Facile à utiliser et ne prend pas beaucoup de place. Les commentaires qui indiquent des fuites d’eau ne sont pas fondés à mon avis, car cela n’arrive que lorsque la base est détachée du socle. Il y a un drain qui arrive directement dans la base (sous la grille) et qui coulera si cette dernière est enlevée. C’est pour cette raison que vous ne devrez utiliser que des tasses type expresso ou longo, qui seront assez petites pour tenir entre la base et la poignée du percolateur.

Livraison telle que prévue. Appareil de bonne qualité. Le café a une belle crème et lorsque j’ajoute le lait (d’avoine) le mélange est super. J’utilise un mousseur autre que celui de l’appareil. Une seule chose, le Bar apparaît seulement lorsque la machine est en fonction. Ce serait préférable qu’il s’affiche avant de commencer l’écoulement du café car je saurais quand il serait au bar désiré. C’est la seule chose que je peux dire pour l’instant. Rapport qualité/prix, je suis très satisfaite.

Machine bar stoped on 5 bar I ordered 2times but both of them working the same.

I love the machine that can automatically turn off the hot water. No more waiting to turn off the machine. So convenient.

I was surprised with the power and quality of such a smaller machine than my older Breville. I now get more crema. It's also much quieter when pumping. I would recommend this unit.
