Mr. Coffee Programmable Espresso & Cappuccino Machine with Automatic Milk Frother & 19-Bar Pump, Stainless Steel

Some context. Started with and cut my teeth on a Gaggia Classic years ago. Still have it. Did various stovetop espresso thingies too, my missus did a variety of pour overs other thingies, and 2 years ago sprang for a Gaggia Brera.So, ok. Definitely learned all along the way. Had hoped the Gaggia Brera would be a nice semi auto experience. It kind of was, until it wasn’t. It just dwindled into unusable pretty quickly. We both found ourselves becoming disinterested in the espresso experience. Wasn’t keen on going to another machine, preferring a hand press espresso, but thought why not give another espresso maker a go, mainly for my missus.Enter Mr Coffee.From the start, it has been GREAT. It took one test drive double shot to then redial to a successful grind. And have to say, I am impressed. Of all my experiences with various machines, Mr Coffee produces the most crema hands down. Began with some older beans just to get started and by crackie, Mr Coffee extracted some very nice flavor and crema from the very first.Quite surprised. But then I wasn’t when I found how easy it is to navigate the various functions. And when I made my sweetie’s first coffee drink, I didn’t ask but she remarked, “this machine definitely extracts more flavor than any other machine we’ve had.” And she’s right.As said, easy and intuitive to navigate. The setup is intuitive. Even the power switch on the side, thank you Mr Coffee. Every other machine we’ve had the switch has been inconveniently in back. The milk and water reservoirs works well too. Nicely placed. Every function, from shots to cappuccinos to lattes that we dialed up came out like really nice, balanced, and at the core of it is… I am really impressed with the shots that we are producing. No machine, including the various Gaggias I have had in the past, did what this little guy is doing.Hands down this is outproducing, outperforming, anything we’ve had in the past 2 decades. To cut to the chase, I love the shots we are pulling. Across several beans now. So happy because we're into a whole new experience. Reinvigorated.It inspires me to get cracking on roasting several bean types now. Had become quite proficient on roasting and I have no doubt this Mr Coffee is going to elevate the experience. All the other machines and devices we’ve had.. home roasting definitely elevated the experience. But we never felt we were attaining the full experience. But there is no question from what I have seen so far, Mr Coffee is going to do a better job than anything else we’ve had. Am looking very much forward to new roasts now.So yeah… am now a fan boy of Mr Coffee. But for good reason. As said, was able to dial in a grind very quickly and from the start, the pulls have been pleasing, producing more full body experience than anything before, and this includes appearance. Beautiful depth-y crema.. surpasses anything we’ve had before.Oh, may as well add... I read many reviews and am always amused when some are stark smack downs on this and that machine out performs, out produces, that and this other machine. Having worked with some wonderful high end and highly touted machines... I find little difference in the espressos thus far and in many cases, Mr Coffee is simply doing a better job at just a straight up single or double espresso.A+++ to Mr Coffee. I was very surprised until I am not any more. Love the machine and experience. X'd finger that the build is substantial enough to last awhile. That would be the berries if yes.. we get some mileage from it.

Buena cafetera el espumador de leche funciona bien, recomendable

Purchase this espresso machine in July of 2022. I was totally in love with it till one day it wouldn't brew the coffee and all of the lights on the front of the machine started blinking. The machine got extremely hot and wouldn't shut down. I had to unplug it and let it cool down. After the cool down it did it again. I contacted Mr Coffee by telephone. Told them what happened and the girl told me I was under warrantee and they did not want the machine back. She told me she was sending me a new machine and it would arrive in about 6 days. Then I received an email saying they wanted it back and were issuing me a return label which never came. Still waiting for my machine that I was told was coming , I received another email saying I needed to return it before I can have a new one sent. Ok, this is all fine except I have to be without a coffee machine till they receive the defective one and they would send it 2 day delivery so I didn't have to wait. The mail in Ca in my rural area never makes it in two days. Anyway, ther were so many names and directions for this warranteed product that I just gave up. I am going to purchase a new espresso machine however it will not be Mr Coffee simply because of their incompetence in their warrantee deparment. It's a sad day we live in when no one is trusted anymore and the help is not geard towards the customer. I will say it made great coffee, but it over heats and that would be a fire hazzard so I am using it but, I un plug it after every use as not to burn my house down. MrCoffee didn't care about that. Best of luck and just to note, It was cleaned regularly so that was not an issue.

I've had my machine going on 3 years (as of 6/28/24) and have used filtered water since day 1. I have never descaled it. Today I will since I'm getting excess steam which is causing moisture to affect the buttons. I just wanted to say that this machine has given me little to no issues when it comes to operations. In regards to espresso, it does a terrible job with its inconsistency. However, I mitigated the issue by depressurizing it . I did this by not screwing on that extra black piece that locks the basket into the portafilter. I also strictly using ese pads and wet them slightly with warm water on both sides of the pad before brewing. The best tasting pads I've used that have been consistently good is the Italian Coffee for Espresso Lovers pads for Senseo machines. It fits very tightly into the small basket and really makes a great cup of coffee. Hope this helps as I've seen very few reviews about long term use. After reading a review posted after mine I wanted to add: I took apart and thoroughly washed the porta filter after each time I was done making coffee and I did a cleaning cycle after every froth. Additionally, I always filled the milk container only halfway so I could take it apart and clean it twice a week. I don't know how people would think this wasn't something you had to do on a regular basis anyway. 🤔Update 3/8/25: The pump is going out on it. It no longer can push water thru the portafilter. But I got a lot out of this machine. Just replaced it with a totally different brand and features. It was time for an upgrade. RIP Mr. Coffee.

No issues at all and the espresso has been great!
