Is the Mecity 20 Bar worth it for a beginner?

Yes, if you want an inexpensive way to learn espresso and milk steaming. Expect a learning curve on grind and dose, and budget for a burr grinder.

No. It takes pre-ground coffee or grounds from a separate grinder, so add a burr grinder to the cost.

How big is the water tank?

37 fl.oz, which is small. It is removable, so refilling is easy, but you will refill often if you make several drinks a day.

Can it make lattes and cappuccinos?

Yes. The steam frother heats and textures milk, but it is manual, so you control the steaming rather than pressing a one-touch button.

5.1 inches wide, 11.4 inches deep and 11.6 inches tall, so it suits narrow counter spaces but still needs clearance for cups and the tank.

How does it compare with a Breville Bambino?

The Bambino has a 54mm portafilter, faster thermojet heating and a similar manual steam wand, but it is a larger, more expensive machine. The Mecity is narrower and simpler, with a smaller tank and no PID.

About the Mecity 20 Bar Automatic Espresso Machine

The Mecity 20 Bar is a compact automatic espresso machine in 304 stainless steel, with a 37 fl.oz removable reservoir, a steam milk frother and a cup warmer. Its 20-bar pump and customizable water amounts let you pull single or double shots and top them with steamed milk for lattes and mochas. At 5.1 inches wide it fits tight counters, but the small tank means frequent refills for heavy use. It is an entry-level machine rather than a grinder-equipped all-in-one.
