Customer Reviews

You can not do better for the price,
 I received as a gift and I am very happy with it. If you are a connoisseur like me who may have been shopping for VS pressure bars: the price. I was caught off guard with it as a gift and I love it. I stopped shopping - I do not care about the bar - it does work.

I paid as much of a stainless steel cooktop unit that offers Italian coffee weaker and more difficult to clean. In addition, you have to replace the board in these often or spit the water out on the recorder and not beer.


This small unit will quickly pay for itself if you give up Starbucks for it. I do not use the foamy milk that will be read for that. As for making rich tasting coffee, you can not beat the price. To be honest, it leaves you wanting to have one more expensive. This causes a moderate amount of "cream."


The secret to any coffee is ground finer grain possible. Or grind it yourself or use the wheels that have grocery stores with bulk coffee, and made it the best (Turkey). Pakaged not use pre-ground, are too thick and coffee will be weaker in any machine.


I love it,

 Great product, good brand, good price! We have used this brand and the espresso machine years. It will not last for the rest of his life, but for 3-5 years and is in daily use. Makes good coffee and milk foams very well. I would recommend this product.

Do not like the cover

 This product has a nice design and looks good on the counter. It was the best price I could find online and in stores. That combined with free shipping was a good deal.

It heats up quickly and makes a good pot of coffee. The steam is powerful and high enough for our large travel mugs.


The water tank cap really needs to be redesigned. Is too small and difficult to grasp. If your hands are even slightly wet, which happens a lot in the whole kitchen sink, you can forget about trying to unscrew this thing. What you need to cover are forests or rubber ridges to complain.


Mr. Coffee 4 Cup Steam Espresso Machine - Do not waste your money

 I bought this a week ago and was very disappointed. The steam worked for about 8 seconds, not nearly enough time to steam milk. Product design is very cheap but again it is only [...] dollars. Also I could not tell the difference between the quality of my 10 single dollar coffee maker and this cup. bottom line is not worth [...] dollars.

The contract of the century

 So, here's the story. I love mocha coffee. I work at home. Step $ 4.10 every couple of days in the local coffee shop for a "fan". Besides a little gas to get there. Not a big deal, takes me out of my chair.

One night, I see this in Wal-Mart one night with my wife. $ 37 or less. She buys it (and a coffee can, a bit of whipped cream, some Hershey chocolate syrup, and a gallon of milk). In total, maybe $ 55. The coffee can think will be good for 100 cups or so, in fact, the ingredients for a "fan" probably in the range of 50 to 75 cents, the very highest level. Thus, mathematics seems favorable, I just need to prepare a dozen cafe mochas and this paid for myself. I'm thinking, albeit low quality, worth the risk to reward.


This device is far from cheap, and does the job beautifully. Great cafe mochas do this thing myself, without having to leave the house now. It develops quickly, the boat works great.


I still go to a coffee shop, and I'm not much of a cheapskate. But I am very happy that I can stay home and make my own now, and frankly, they could charge $ 100 for the manufacturer and do not hesitate to recommend. Bravo Mr. Coffee, I'll be your fan on Facebook for ever so this device and sell it for a fair price.


Good for the price

 I had this machine for a while before I bought my classic Capresso machine 18 bar pump. (Which I love)

For the price, this machine is really good. Make coffee with milk is even better than my current pump equipment, which paid about $ 200. (Probably because they have not mastered the art of making coffee with milk with smaller photos of real espresso machine pump).


This espresso machine takes a lot of strong coffee. It is not technically Express, which requires greater pressure of steam powered machine can muster. So I agree with the critic who says that if you're looking just to drink coffee, I do not want to go with this machine. Not give an amazing flavor that only comes from proper coffee shot out of a pumping machine that is much higher pressure.


But if you're looking for a machine only for lattes, cappuccinos, and other such drinks, this is definitely worth the money. (Currently $ 29! What a deal!)


I give it 4 stars because it is 4 stars when considered alongside other espresso machines on the market. My rule, rather, is that it is an amazing buy for the price and no doubt fill the desire of those who are putting money into Starbucks and wants to cut this dress expensive, too expensive.


I also recommend investing in a six-pack of chocolate Torani syrup, which is what you need to make a delicious mocha. Can also be obtained in other flavors. This machine will also be more than enough to make a Frappuccino. What I can do with frapps is frozen coffee, put some more ice in the blender with coffee ice cream (maybe even more ice is needed given the amount of "coffee" is produced with this machine, as I said, is far more than a pumping machine), a little milk, and then some Torani syrup. Frapps be performed and that Starbucks latte rival with this machine (and a little practice).


Great little machine!,

 I was surprised that this little machine scored higher price of many more expensive models, so it seemed obvious. Arrived last week and so far I'm very impressed. It makes good espresso and I am especially impressed by how well foaming milk. Steaming the milk tends to be a noisy process, but this team is the quietest I've used. It is also fast I usually start the milk in the microwave to speed up the process, but with this machine, which runs from the refrigerator foam in just a couple of minutes. The foam is also robust enough that the candy is at the top before it sets, it is more difficult to achieve with the use skim milk. The only drawback I found is that coffee is a bit slow to start brewing, but could be the result of the filtered water to use right out of the fridge. In general, it seems a very good little machine and you can not beat the small footprint in the fight against a definite advantage if you have limited counterspace like me.

One additional note, 


I did not use plastic foam plug tip, however, as I have not seen the need. Just make sure to clean the steam wand carefully after each use, as in the past, I found that all waste that develops rapidly becomes impossible to remove. A damp paper towel immediately after use does the trick
I love this team!,

 This machine is fantastic! It is easy to use and easy to clean. I can make mochas, lattes, etc. I save a lot of money because they no longer have to go to Starbucks. I bought it on the basis of these assessments Amazon and have not disappointed. I also purchase a different pitcher to froth milk for guests (soy milk and almond milk foam, very good!) I've had it for about a year and I definitely recommend this machine!

Good entry level product,

 Back from yearning for Europe to make the coffee as it had been, especially in Belgium. "Not ready to spring an expensive machine, but wanted a way to experience what espresso and cappuccino. This machine fits my goal for now. As with most tools and equipment, materials and the user to a big difference. Mal bad espresso, no matter how expensive the machine. Foam is not automatic, it must be practiced. (I had to deviate from the instructions in the manual.) I've made decent espresso and cappuccino with this machine, but I'm still learning. A Learning Note: I bought a 20-ounce jar, but the foam arm is not long enough to reach near the bottom. I recommend a 12-ounce jar instead.
