Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte Maker

I wanted to get this cute red Latte Maker, but my wife said to get the name brand. She was When the portafilter broke, i contacted customer service and within days they shipped me a replacement part. I was a little disappointed the part broke, but more than happy i received a replacement fast. It makes great Lattes

I was a barista and I enjoy this machine. I got it 4-5 years ago for Christmas and still use it to this day. I don’t use it as much because I got the iced coffee maker and more an iced coffee person than hot lattes. But when it comes to winter and especially Christmas time I always bring it back out for some yummy warm lattes. It’s super easy to use and still makes really good lattes. It’s perfect for those starting out and get the hang of steaming milk and not breaking the bank if you want to see how often you’ll use it. Also perfect for those on a budget and would like to make coffee at home and stay away from coffee shops. I have saved tons of money because of this machine and the iced coffee machine!! I’ve always been happy with mr.coffee machines. I will say I’m very simple person and at this time don’t need all the bells and whistles.

I had one just like it for several years. When the old one finally failed, I ran right out and bought another. After only a few weeks the selection knob on the side broke off. I discovered the inside knob connection was made of very tiny plastic pieces. I guess I'm not surprised it broke. I'm VERY unhappy and now without my daily espresso.

I bought a week ago, used a few times was loving it until this morning 6/18/2021 right in the middle of brewing the espresso shots the machine exploded! Cap was on tight like always did everything right like i do every morning! Sliced my finger open and burnt my legs, and caused some damage to our kitchen walls! Horrible Horrible product!!!!!

I bought this and was happy with it. It does the job, frothing works great, expresso comes out quickly. However, every other time, the coffee smells bad- like the reservoir isn't clean. I'd follow the care instructions, using vinegar etc, even bought a coffee machine cleaner, and it works fine next time, then reverts back to smelly coffee. The issue I think is the metal reservoir. A lot of other Mr Coffee machines have plastic water reservoir, which can be taken out and cleaned. This one has a metal reservoir that you cannot take out. After a couple of attempts to keep it clean, I gave up!

Espresso is not only Italian coffee but also Cuban. As the daughter of Cuban immigrants I have been drinking espresso all my life (way before Starbucks existed) and have had a few Mr. Coffee espresso makers. This model we purchased about a month ago after our previous model stopped brewing. I have a few issues. The machine brews fine and the frother works fine but: #1 the cover on the frother is useless, we swithed it with one from a previous model that is a soft rubber and is 100% better. #2 The coffee cup it comes with is not a good option for brewing coffee into to be able to pour it out into the mini espresso coffee cups since it has no spout, we also switched this out with our previous model's glass carafe. #3 And this is my #1 COMPLAINT, the coffee tastes like plastic, we have brewed water through it several times and also water with vinegar. This is unacceptable to me and never has happened to us before with any previous model. I almost feel like it may be unhealthy to drink, like drinking some kind of chemical. We drink espresso almost daily so this is a problem for us and very frustrating, especially since this is the only model available in stores that won't break the bank or require the use of those darn pods. Please fix this. You need to go back to the drawing board with this model and use different materials in manufacturing that won't affect the taste, get rid of the coffee cup "carafe" and return to glass carafe and replace the plastic frother cover with the earlier models soft rubber one. For the sake of keeping your customers happy and loyal, please fix this
