Title: The Results are Worth a Little Effort
Review: 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.

Title: RIP Mr. Coffee. 1,689 days old. We'll miss you!
Review: 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?

Review: My first time owning a full on coffee machine, but after using a machine (different brand/type) at work I thought I would take the plunge (also hoping to save $ at the coffee shop).To say I didn't have huge expectations is an understatement, but I was surprise. The coffee was hot, the milk nicely frothed (and hot) and it was a quick process that will become even quicker as I get used to it.Although this is a basic machine, there are options such as an extra shot of coffee and/or milk, frothing milk on its own etc.It's a great little machine for this first timer, and it's been a lovely experience.PS: I used Grinders Rich Espresso ground coffee and light lactose free milk and it made a lovely cup.

Customers say
Customers like the functionality, taste, and ease of use of the coffee maker. They mention it makes excellent coffee drinks with a minimum of fuss, is simple to set up, and cleans easily. Some say it's well worth the money and a relatively inexpensive way to try different drinks at home. However, some dislike the milk availability and have mixed opinions on the build quality and froth quality.
