That is, they are learning the basics of making a cafe-level coffee, are just discovering what they like and dislike and are ready to move on to more top level espresso machines. However, it is best for those who are in the intermediate stage. The Mr Coffee Espresso Maker is a recommended choice for both beginners and experts. It also contains the steps for de-liming, which should be done after every 80 brews if you use soft water and after every 40 brews if you use hard water.

As for the portafilter, you should clean it with soap and water, and you should brew a single shot espresso (without adding coffee grounds in the filter) to clean it thoroughly. The user manual contains elaborate instructions on how to clean the filter and the unit as a whole, and the mistakes that you should avoid in general. You should remember that the milk reservoir and lid are top-rack dishwasher safe, but the water reservoir is not. The milk reservoir and the water reservoir should be cleaned with warm soapy water after almost every use. You may stop it midway by pressing the clean button again or wait for it to stop automatically in 30 seconds. After this, you need to press the clean button that is present on the “manual” side of the latte row in the control panel for 3 seconds. To clean the steam wand, you should turn the knob on the frother to “clean” and then aim the frother at an empty cup. This one is a classic case of "spring the extra money and get a good one".įalse Mr.The Mr Coffee Espresso Maker is quite easy to clean. I give this 2 out of 5 stars and I would not recommend this to my friends. Also, you never really know how much water you need for the steam and this ends up being a problem if you run out before your done heating your cream or milk. It was hard to clean, and I thought that the steam arm was not long enough to accomodate the user. After you get the desired amount of coffee in the carafe, you switch the machine over to steam and put the arm down in the milk or cream and steam it to the appropriate temperature and then mix your coffee drink. To make espresso or cappuccino you put your water in the back and tighten the cap snuggly. On the side of the Espresso/Cappuccino Maker there is a little steamer arm. The built in filter also has a long handle for easy opening and emptying. Coffee Steam Espresso/Cappuccino Maker comes in black and has a small carafe with a handle for easy pouring.
Honestly, after using the unit for a while (I didn't pay for it, my girlfriend did), I suspect more and more that the glowing reviews are from people shilling for Mr. " the coffee shop lattes/cappuccinos will require some more money. If you *only* want espresso and/or (possibly) *steamed* milk, than I would look at this as a solid "3.5" star machine, based on MSRP and deficiencies noted above.

Simply put, instead of the 20 seconds (or less) you'd need with a professional machine to generate sufficient froth/foam it takes a minute or longer.
This machine lacks the capacity to steam milk quickly enough to make adequate amount of froth or foam. It makes steaming the milk efficiently difficult. Also, no tamper (to press espresso into the basket) is included. Missing? As noted, a stainless steel frothing container. Yes, the cord (if you have bought it new) is coiled up underneath the unit, but, yes, it *is* (still) too short. If all you want to do is make an occasional espresso, it *is* perfectly adequate and deserves a rating of 4 stars. If you are wanting a machine that makes lattes and cappuccinos "just like" at your favorite coffee shop, well, do *not* buy this one.
