I’m completely happy with this machine. It’s just my speed. I’m a beginner espresso maker, not a coffee snob, so i can enjoy this level of coffee drink. The automatic milk frother makes it so easy. When you’re done you can just put leftover milk back in the fridge. Just don’t fill it too much. The top of the container doesn’t fit well and easily sloshes out

The Results are Worth a Little Effort
By the time I bought this espresso maker, I had already gone through many different coffee and espresso machines. A friend raved about the Nespresso systems but I had used a Keurig for a few years and was done with the whole pod system, which seems wasteful and expensive, plus it was hard to keep it clean from icky sludge that formed in the water dispenser. Another friend raved about the Breville but the cost of that was way over my budget. This Mr. Coffee machine had great reviews and the price was good, so I decided to give it a try.I’ve waited to write this review until I had some time to really get to know this machine and I can tell you I absolutely love it.The Espresso, Cappucino, and LatteDrinks I’ve made have all been delicious. The espresso comes out dark and rich and even has that crema top to it when the shots are finished pouring. There are two options: a single or a double filter and I always use the double. For milk, I use almond or rice milk and the froth on the cappuccino is great! The bubbles aren’t as fine and “creamy” as you would get from a professional machine at an espresso bar, but the results are still delicious and impressive. The machine dispenses the milk first, then adds the shots of espresso, so I sometimes stir it after it’s done to totally mix the espresso (especially if you add sweetener). There is definitely an advantage to using the right grind for the coffee beans. Be sure your beans are ground for espresso. I had used beans ground for pour over coffee and the espresso was watery.The MachineIf you are looking for a brew-and-run system, this isn’t your machine. But the time and effort you spend is honestly not that big of a deal and the results are worth it. Take a cappuccino, for instance. Here’s the process. First, fill the water container with water and place on the back of the machine. Turn the machine on (it takes a few minutes to warm up). Next, fill the milk container with your type of milk, place the top on, be sure the setting is set to “cappuccino”* and insert the unit into the machine. Next, take the “porta-filter” and place a scoop of coffee into it, tamping down firmly with the tamper on the other end of the scoop. Insert the filter into the machine. Place a large cup under the filter (there’s a pull out stand for a small cup but I rarely use that), make sure the silver tube (dispensing the milk) is pointed into the cup (yes, I’ve forgotten that and dispensed milk all over the counter by accident), and then press the cappuccino button twice (for a double). The machine goes to work, first dispensing the milk, then the espresso. You’ll know it’s working because it is loud.After you’ve enjoyed your cappuccino, there are a few things you need to do to “clean up” and be sure the machine is ready for the next time. First, remove the porta-filter and dump the used grounds (they go into my counter-top food scraps bin). Rinse out the filter, and then place back on the machine and press the button for a single shot of espresso. This rinses out the espresso parts of the machine. I then remove the filter, take it apart under cool running water, and let it dry. For the milk container, turn the setting to “clean,” place a cup under the metal tube, and press the “clean” button (it’s the latte button, pressed and held for a few seconds until the “clean” function turns on). Now, the tube is clean and you can either place the container in the fridge (if there’s milk left over) or rinse/wash and let it dry. Does this sound like a lot? It doesn’t take long and it just becomes part of the process. Again, the results are worth it.*As you can see from above, after you’ve cleaned the milk container, you have to turn the knob back to cappuccino or latte. If you forget, you’ll quickly realize that you are dispensing steamed water instead of steamed milk into your cup (plus, the cleaning sound is different than the frothy milk sound).Cleaning the inside of the machine is an easy process (using vinegar) and the machine seems to stay much cleaner than the Keurig machine I used to own.Bottom line: So far, this machine has produced excellent results. Takes a bit of effort but the results are worth it.

Great little machine that’s good for a year of daily use (see durability update at end)
The fact that you’re reading this review means that you’re looking for an espresso machine (yeah, I know – duh). The fact that you’re looking for an espresso machine means that you probably want either the convenience of making fun little coffee drinks at home, and/or you want to save money because you’ve been spending a significant portion of your disposable income on similar concoctions at the overpriced coffee house down the street. To which concern I can most assuredly relate – we have the misfortune to live half a block from what is arguably the best coffee shop in Seattle, and I don’t even want to think how much of the owner’s retirement fund has come out of my pocket. Good thing he’s a friend.So anyway, here you are on Amazon, trying to filter – ha ha, please note clever pun – through the endless product choices, which range from cheapo plastic crap to espresso machines so expensive and complicated that you wonder if you’ll need a degree in engineering to operate them. Your head is getting ready to explode as you read about things like burr grinders, with some Amazonians subtly implying that if you don’t use one of these for your home-roasted gourmet coffee beans – the ones you import weekly on a private jet from an exclusive estate in the Ethiopian Highlands – then your intellect must compare unfavorably with that of certain lower primates. And then there are the reviews that provide detailed instructions regarding this or that machine’s temperamental foibles and intolerance of idiots, advising you sternly that if you don’t do X, Y and Z in a very particular order, accompanied by ritual chanting and animal sacrifice, your $2000 espresso machine will never perform in the optimal way.Or so it sure seems sometimes.So here’s the key question: WHY do you want an espresso machine? Do you truly want to become an espresso master, the envy and talk of all your Yuppie friends (“Wow, Bob has a Lockheed-Martin X-320 Parisian-Bistro-Espresso Cafe Super-System with built-in burr grinder and rocket launch module, and he sure knows how to use it!”) Or do you just want a machine that costs (way) under a thousand bucks that’ll make a tasty latté or cappuccino in the morning, and in so doing save you from supporting your local coffee shop owner’s boat payments?If it’s the latter, then I humbly recommend this fine little machine. It’s easy to set up, and if one uses decent ground espresso (for the record, I use Lavazza) it makes excellent coffee drinks with a minimum of fuss. You don’t need to fiddle with frothing yourself – just hit the right buttons and it will turn out coffee that will have you saying “Mmm, that’s good!” before you proceed with your day. Unless, of course, you’re a coffee snob who wouldn’t dream of using anything smacking of “automatic” that doesn’t involve multiple complex steps, a $300 grinder, manual frothing, a degree in engineering and animal sacrifices. But then if you’re that person you’re probably not looking at this machine.Put the machine through a clean cycle regularly, and DO delime it at least once in a while. It’s a tedious procedure but not doing so may affect performance (we had some issues a few months in and deliming fixed them).Do follow the setup instructions carefully, especially with regard to priming the machine the first time. And don’t do what I did, which is to wonder why nothing was happening – specifically, why no water was coming out – and then finally notice the sticker on the back of the water tank that said “Remove plastic plug before use”.Duh.UPDATE, SEPTEMBER 2021: we have now owned several of these machines over a period of 8 years, so I can tell you with confidence about their durability. Bottom line: they’re good for about a year of daily use. Eventually, the frother stops working well. Despite deliming, it will have a harder time getting up to pressure and producing froth. Eventually it ceases to be functional. Since there’s a one-year warranty, you might want to trigger that before the year is up – we did that with a previous machine and Mr Coffee’s customer service was terrific – they immediately sent us a new machine for free. So, basically, you get two years of use out of one purchase.Key point: despite the durability issue, this machine has saved us a ton of money and I’d still highly recommend it (and will likely buy another when our current one dies next year).P.S. As some others have noted, the reservoir sometimes leaks water; we had this on one unit. My stupid but effective solution to this was to insert a strip of thin cardboard (part of the flap of a small cardboard box works) between the machine and the reservoir (i.e. behind the reservoir). Apparently this “pushes” the reservoir back enough to set it right, and it fixed the issue.

Cara Welling –
Great machine at a good price. Would recommend.
I’m a former barista and I love this machine! I’ve worked at a quite a few local shops and one chain(not Starbucks). I’ve worked on fully manual and semi-auto commercial espresso machines so I’m familiar with making drinks, proper maintenance, and minor repairs. Five years ago I would have cringed at the thought of having an almost full-auto machine in my home. Now that I’ve grown up quite a bit and have a normal, M-F 9 to 5 kind of job with a commute and all the fun stuff that comes with it, I’m willing to sacrifice my coffee morals for convenience but definitely not taste. I still grind my own beans because that’s really the only way to do it in my opinion. I’n not saying it’s the perfect machine but unless your willing to spend a lot more money on a “pro-sumer” machine(a professional grade machine but only has one head for brewing) then this is a great option. I recently got it on Prime Day when there was a lightning deal on it. I’d been looking into buying a new one that was more powerful than my old machine and this was a great fit. Overall, if you’re looking for a good machine to save some money on your morning coffee and save some time before your commute, this is a wonderful option.****Note: Please remember to properly clean and maintain the machine! Run the cleaning cycle after every use. Always, always, always use filtered water, never tap. There are too may minerals in tap and it will mess up your machine very quickly. Be sure to descale your machine at the very least once a month depending on usage. They sell excellent and easy to use descaling products on amazon as well.****Pros:-It has a pump that’s powerful enough to steam milk quickly and thoroughly and the machine doesn’t overheat (I’ve had this issue before with different brand)-The water reservoir holds enough for several drinks. I didn’t track it closely but I think I made about 8-10 drinks before running low on water-The milk reservoir holds enough milk to make two 15oz drinks and then some if you want a little extra-The controls are easy enough to use. One quick read through on the instructions and I was set-The machine has a cleaning setting for the steaming wand. It’s still very important to go through and descale the machine and wash everything properly but that setting is really helpful if you know you’ll be using it later in the day as well-I can fit a 16oz size coffee mug in it-You can adjust the amount of foam in your drink. So if you want a latte a little dry, you can definitely get that.Neutral:-Volume. I wouldn’t say it’s a loud machine by any stretch, but it’s not exactly quiet when steaming milk. But if you’ve ever used an espresso machine or been around one, you know that’s not the quiet part of making a drink anyways-The filter basket in the porta-filter twist locks into place. Not really an issue but it can get a little annoying when it spins as you’re trying to tamp espressoCons:-If your only goal is to get beautiful, coffee shop style latte art, this is not the machine for you. It’s practical, not artsy. It makes a darn good latte or cappuccino but it doesn’t get frilly. I knew what I was getting so that wasn’t an issue for me at all.-I can’t fit a tall, travel tumbler in it- If you want a “no-foam” latte, you won’t be getting that. The machine always produces foam. This is not an issue for me but I realize it may be for some people. It’s easy enough to just scoop the foam off the top. In reality, anytime you steam milk your’re going to get foam. Whenever you order a “no-foam” latte at a coffee shop, the foam is still there the barista just has to use a spoon to hold the foam back from pouring into your cup.

11 years and still counting!!!!
Almost 11 years I have this machine, obviously no longer have all other attributes to make cappuccino etc , but to make Americano or espresso still do daily., using 2-4 times a day, every day in almost 11 year time period. Did it break ? Yes, once I think might be 5 years ago , some part broke inside, but I replaced that and still running as expected. Much better coffee then famous coffee shops. Even now , writing this review, I’m drinking a coffee made by this machine as a start of beautiful Sunday. Good quality overall, I guess many positive reviews can prove it. Thanks . And keep up with good coffee machines.

Great Espresso/Cappuccino Maker
Purchased 01/2017Five stars because it performed exactly the way I was hoping it would. Never owned an espresso/cappuccino machine before, so I cannot honestly compare it to other brands. Was looking at the all in one brands which had excellent reviews but they were $600 and up during the holiday sales. And since I never had a machine like this, I was sure I’d make mistakes and waist money. So I bought this for $121 on Amazon, was a little cheaper on other sites, but didn’t want to wait two weeks to get it. Instruction were very clear, some misspellings, but clear. Cleaned, primed the pumps, and then made a double cappuccino. It came out perfect the first time. I was amazed. I’m learning that reading instructions really does help when it comes to machines. I used an excellent crema espresso bean, also purchased on Amazon. I kept making different size/types of coffee drinks until I was wired to the max. I did purchase the Mr. Coffee burr grinder for use with this Barista. Worked perfectly also. This Barista, and the attachments are easy and quick to clean. I noticed that the device has two stages for various cup sizes. I missed that in the instructions somehow. You can also remove the bottom stage to place a small/short travel mug in with narrow bottom. The Mr. Coffee Barista photo shows the cup sitting on the bottom stage. The first stage for smaller cups, slides out from under the milk foam dispenser. Since my travel mugs are too large, I pour two large cappuccinos into my travel mug. I put hot water in the metal travel mug first to warm up the inside, pour out the water, then the cappuccino stays hot. I have been using the large/wide Starbucks city cups in this Barista. They work perfectly. So wide isn’t an issue, just tall.I do enjoy this machine and will continue to try the various drink recipes I see posted for this Barista.Update: 9/2022 Still 5 stars. I use it 2 – 5 times a day, everyday. I have a water distiller I purchased here which I use for this machine. I had to replace/rebuild the portafilter a couple times though. Since Mr Coffee does not sell the portafilter for this model separately(or just out of them all the time), I purchased similar ones from other manufactures and exchanged parts, which worked fine. I tried for over a year to find a portafilter for this but I would have had to purchase a new (or used) machine to get one. The expresso comes out great. I grind Lavazza Super Crema Whole Beans to make the coffee. I do two long pours so I get a large mug of strong coffee each time. I stopped using the integrated milk frother early on since I got tired of cleaning it after I used it. I put purchased a small stand alone frother here, that is easy to clean. For the price, I think I have gotten my money’s worth out of this machine. I will continue to use it until if fails, if it ever does. They look at the price of replacing it. The price on this machine fluctuates allot. Even the sale prices seem a little high now.

The Rancher’s Wife –
TIPS THAT WORK! From an average person, not a barista.
I’ll give tips after a little background info, what wasn’t right and what customer service said to do, that WORKED!First off my background. I am not, nor have I every been a barista. I am an average person who likes mochas from the coffee shop, but I live 80 miles from town, so I don’t get them very often and wanted to try making them at home. This is my first espresso machine. I read a lot of blogs and watched online videos from real baristas giving tips how to make good espresso drinks at home before purchasing this. I got this thing and things didn’t taste right to me, bitter. So I did more research and figured out the problem, it wasn’t heating up well. I checked temperature and it was only getting to 157*F on average (too cold) and took 14-15 seconds to make one shot (too fast). NOT what the online advice says you need. Online advice says 170-180*F and 27-30 seconds is about right. So I called Mr Coffee for help before I sent it back to Amazon. GLAD I did.The call: In short, customer service told me to run a cleaning cycle per directions from page 16 in the user manual. Which is 1/2 tank of white vinegar, hit the button for double shot. Repeat as many times as you need. Also run a cleaning cycle through the milk dispenser. My thought was, “what the heck, its a new machine! I did the priming as directed before use, how can it be dirty?” But I had to give it a try or send it back. Well I’ll be go to heck, it WORKED!While directions said you only need to run it few times. I had the time, so I ran the whole 1/2 tank white vinegar through (double shot at at a time) since I has to toss the vinegar anyway, so why not really clean it eh? Anyway, after a couple times running the double shot espresso button the temperature went from consistent 157*F to 175-182*F. Wahoo! It seemed to matter how long I let it warm up between shots. Running two times consecutively got the 175-177*, which is just what you want. Letting it sit and warm up a few minutes before runs got it 180-184*, which is getting a little too hot. BTW, I was using a good quality quick, calibrated thermometer that I use for caramel making, which is a very exacting process to do right. So I figured it could accurately measure the espresso before it cooled from air temperature, which by the way is mere seconds I found out.NOTE: The higher temperature is NOT for drinking comfort (how hot you like it) it is what the espresso NEEDS to properly extract and not be bitter. You can let it sit a few minutes if you don’t like it that hot, personally I don’t want a burned tongue, so I wait a little. Coming out of the machine perfect drinking temperature is NOT a good thing.SECOND NOTE: Running the vinegar through is NOT descaling, it is cleaning. Descaling is something else you do, read the manual on how. The vinegar clean is NOT priming, it is cleaning. Don’t know why you need to clean the new machine in addition to priming, but DO it anyway. Make sure to rinse the reservoir out, then run some PLAIN water through to remove the vinegar afterwards, do it as many times as it takes to get the smell out, mine took a full reservoir. Honestly though it’s faster shipping it back and waiting for a replacement machine because it doesn’t get hot enough, this WORKS.When I first got it, as I said it was taking 14-15 seconds to run the shots through. During the cleaning process they got longer and longer. Now that it’s clean, it’s about 28-30 seconds. Again, just what you want. I use my cell phone stop watch feature to be accurate.In summary, based on what I’ve read and how I got it to work well, at least for “normal” person standards. This a good machine. Here’s my TIPS TO GET IT WORKING RIGHT:1. Learn to grind grounds well. Do NOT buy pre-ground, buy beans and grind them yourself. It has to do with when the oil is release one how well it works. If you are going to the trouble to use a machine like this (rather than just normal a coffee machine) you can go to the effort to grind as well, it’s just part of the process.You can use the hand held cone burr grinders for the most accurate fine ground. Or you can spend a bundle on an electric burr grinder. From what I read, you REALLY do need to get a good one if you go electric. In fact that is almost more important than the machine they say. Inconsistent size of grounds will yield inconsistent shots. Too fine (Turkish grind, which is like flour) and it clogs the filter making the machine unable to push all the water through. Too course (regular coffee machine grind) and the water goes through too fast making it bitter. Espresso grind has to be the consistency of table salt.I’m cheap, so using the hand grinder does work and I advise it for other cheap people. However, in the morning I am cranky and impatient, I’m also lazy, so I’ve ordered a couple different electric burr grinders to see if that works as well. I plan to return which ever (or both) that don’t grind as the espresso NEEDS (good ol Amazon prime and their return policies). No, I did not take the online baristas advice and buy a $200 burr grinder (I am cheap after all), but I did spend about $50 on a burr grinder and $20 on a blade style. Will update when I have decided what works or not, which I kept or if I end up just doing the hand grind.2. Learn how full to fill the cup. At least to the top of the rim, or a little higher. You want the end result about 1/8-1/4″ from the top. The amount in the cup DOES matter.3. Learn how to pack your grounds to 30lbs of pressure. How to do that, put your bathroom scale on the counter. Use your tamper to push until you get the feel of 30lbs pressure. Repeat several times until you can push it pretty accurately. This is very important. Also, but a metal tamper, the plastic one isn’t sturdy enough for 30 lbs pressure, it bents and packs unevenly. You can get metal tampers cheap, it’s worth it.4. Before you make your cup each morning, warm the machine as directions indicate, but ALSO run a shot of plain water through first. The second time through will be hotter, and it only takes 30 seconds.5. Even though it’s a new machine, and you did the priming as the manual says, run 1/2 tank of white vinegar through it (directions on page 16 of manual) and it will make a tremendous difference. Don’t argue, just do it.6. You can open the lid and fill the reservoir with it ON the machine with a pitcher if taking it on and off is too hard.NOTE: I did NOT receive this at a discount in exchange for an honest review. This is a good machine for the average espresso based specialty coffee drinker. I gave it a full 5 stars because it’s pretty idiot proof (I’m not the most mechanical person) and it makes mochas that are pretty darn good in my average persons opinion. I have no idea what a real coffee expert would say, and really, shouldn’t they have a professional machine anyway? […]

RIP Mr. Coffee. 1,689 days old. We’ll miss you!
Wife makes a cup a day for the last six months. No issues so far. She runs the cleaning cycle every time she uses the frother. We have not run any cleaning solutions through the water, and we have not noticed any decrease in performance.The frother bugs me a bit when I make hot chocolate, but if I stir the milk in my cup as it’s being poured, it seems to cut down on the frothiness of it.*UPDATE*Running strong for over a year now! I should probably clean it sometime… Haven’t noticed any decrease in performance yet due to not cleaning.*ANOTHER UPDATE*We ordered this on December 5, 2015. Today is September 27, 2017. Why the update? The frother stopped working on latte mode!I first cracked open the milk dispenser top to see if there was a clog. Turns out, it’s super simple in there, and not much to clean. I paged through the manual, and there’s a section in there about cleaning. Hey, wouldn’t you know, Mr. Coffee says to run vinegar through the thing once every forty-eighty cups to delime it! My wife has been pretty regular in her coffee habit, minus missing a few days, plus making a few cups for guests, so I would estimate we’re about 660 cups in so far! Just a little bit over the eighty cups they recommend a cleaning at for those of us with hard water.Anyway, I (sorta) followed the deliming instructions, ran a half gallon of vinegar through it using both the espresso and cleaning cycles, and the latte setting on the frother works again.And for those of you who are wary… this thing works great! My wife isn’t a coffee snob, but this machine is helping her to become one. She’s (mostly) sworn off that overpriced star place’s coffee, as she’s come to find it’s very bitter, unless there’s a pound of sugar in it, then it’s too sweet. While the Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista doesn’t have all sorts of fancy features as you may see in more expensive models, this bad boy reliably delivers what it promises, and can save you tons of money! Just think… We’ve spent maybe $100 on espresso pre-ground coffee, $300 on cocoa (it’s good cocoa) & syrups. Compare that with the, at very least, $4/cup, and we’re looking at $540 for 660 cups with the Mr. Coffee, compared to $2,640+ for coffee from that star place. Pretty good deal!*FINAL UPDATE – RIP MR.COFFEE*We orderes this on December 5, 2015. It finally stopped making espresso on July 19, 2020. That’s 1,689 days of coffee. We didn’t make coffee every day, so let’s say one cup every three days. Over the years we’ve ordered 39 1lb bags of fancy imported Italian espresso ground coffee, at about $7/lb, spent maybe $100 on flavorings/cocoa, let’s guess $300 on milk/creamer (though probably way less), and add $10 on vinegar for cleanings. That puts us up around $700 for ingredients, plus the cost of the unit (let’s say $200, but it’s less).So! If we say an espresso is brewed every three days, that’s 563 uses (mostly double shots). If we assume the average bucks coffees are $4, that would be $2,252 spent at the bucks for burned coffee loaded with sugar. Compare that with with the $883 on making coffee at home. Divide that by the 563 cups we made, and that’s $1.57 per drink! That’s a savings of $2.43 per drink!So if you’re wary about spending so much money on buying this thing, or just can’t afford such a large purchase in one go, I would urge you to save up for this purchase. It’s easy to use, mostly automatic, not too much of a pain to clean (buy some little pipe cleaners! Makes life easier), and saves you a ton of money compared to buying coffee from a barista. Granted it’s not as convenient, but would you rather make your espresso a day in advance so it has a chance to chill in the fridge before you make your 64oz gut buster iced mocha, or would your prefer spending an extra $3 ever work day to spend ten minutes in the drive through?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Makes amazing coffee with zero hassle
This machine is perfect for anyone who wants café-quality drinks at home without spending a ton of money. It heats up fast, the espresso comes out smooth with a nice crema, and the milk frother works way better than I expected. Super easy to use and easy to clean. I’ve been making lattes, cappuccinos, and regular espresso shots every day and they taste just as good as the coffee shops. Definitely a great value for the price — highly recommend if you want to upgrade your morning coffee routine
