Good enough for the price tag

Update: Machine died within six weeks… I am dropping this down to two stars for now. I will order another one and see how quickly it gets here and how long it lasts.
Update2: the second one came fairly quickly, but also died within days. I can no longer recommend this product.
Original Review: This is the third or fourth Mr. Coffee machine that I have purchased over the last 10 years. It is not a genuine espresso machine because it doesn’t work off the vacuum principle. Consequently, it will not produce a nice rich crema.
However, while they don’t last longer than two or three years, they are capable of producing the strongest coffee of any coffee maker that I’ve used in the quantity that I want. Most of the espresso machines are designed for a very small quantities, but this comes with a fairly large deep coffee basket, so you can make a lot of good strong coffee. (I like a deadeye or a blackeye.)
They’ve made some minor improvements to the controls, which makes it easier to work with than the older models, so I bumped the star rating up to four. In addition to it not being a genuine espresso machine, the other major drawback is that the lid to the carafe (over time) does not stay seated well,
But for 12 ounces of good strong coffee, this can’t be beat.

It doesn’t enhance the flavour of the coffee as much as I had hoped, compared to a regular coffee maker. Occasionally it seems to overheat and the coffee has a burnt taste. I don’t know if I would recommend it for the price.

I have purchased Mr. Coffee espresso makers in the past and have found them to be good quality and durable. I think it is the best one you can get in the price range.

My boyfriend loves it. Update… I love it. Easy to use.
I dislike traditional coffee makes because of the filter and the grossness that builds up in the innerds of the machine. The glass pot gets gross and people let cold coffee sit there til the next day. So I used to just use a French press, but my boyfriend wouldn’t make himself coffee because it was too complicated. So I bought this machine.
This machine is perfect. It is easy to clean, there is no filter to throw away, it makes just enough coffee for 1 serving. The used coffee grounds are easy to clean out.
I highly recommend this coffee maker.

Produces a good espresso and plenty of steam to heat and froth milk for a latte. The milk frothing container is too small for the size of lattes I prefer. The steam pressure is also a bit high and it’s difficult to produce foam rather than bubbles (I was a barista so I know how this works). It’s compact though and inexpensive so perfect for our travel trailer and cabin.

Honestly, if there’s anything that a $600 espresso machine could do better than is lil’guy I’d be really surprised. Great espresso on just 2 or 3 minutes. Easy to use. Steams even coconut milk perfectly. (Heavy cream, half and half, and whole milk as well) and makes a killer espresso for affogato. Mine has become my daily coffee maker over a dozen other coffee gadgetsand I have no real complaints other than the holder on the carafe breaking. I’d say get it. Have it espresso’rdered…

I did my research and came up that this is the best option. I am the only one who drinks coffee at home so 4shots is fine. I only do 2 shots every day. This would be perfect for a two people household.
If you don’t mind it being manual, it is a bang for your buck. Keep in mind that you have to manually put the water and coffee grounds each time you make coffee. It’s not like those fancy ones where there’s a water and milk compartment. But other than that, I really like it. I had bought a coffee stamped and had been having lots of fun with the milk steamer.
It looks like a durable machine and even if it breaks I wouldn’t be so bothered since it’s not so expensive. However the cover for the steam wand broke but you don’t really need it.

Not complicated to use
Convenient price
good coffee
And I love the milk steaming process haha
Not the best and amazingly perfect but still I’m happy with it and it’s great for me! 🙂

I bought this for my wife to replace a similar unit she got years back. After the second day – one cup per day – the handle on the glass carafe broke. Earlier this week the plastic that covers the milk frother broke apart. We had to spend money on a replacement carafe which is not what I expected to do. I guess now I’ll have to look for that plastic piece that goes over the milk frother too!
So I am understandably not happy that within ONE MONTH two pieces of this unit have broken. This is unfortunate as beside that, it is working wonderfully. Just be warned.
*UPDATE*
Four years on, and the machine has stopped working. Its use has cut down; especially during the warmer months. We live in SoCal so that has been a lot this year. Safe to say that I am disappointed. I expected a machine that gets used, on average 2-3 times a week, to last longer than this. Even more surprising is that the price for this unit has more than doubled in cost in those 4 years: $57.56 to $119.99.

It did what it was suppose to do for about two months. For that I would give it probably 3 stars, because there was nothing extraordinary about this device.
Unfortunately contact power switch which is actuated by the plastic bump on the turning knob shaft stopped working. I suppose due to wearing out of the plastic actuator bump. The bump started missing it by a hair, and there was no way to bend blade of the contact switch to make it work again because the switch was not engaged by the movement of the blade of the actuating switch using its leverage but rather the bump was actuating the switch exactly and the blade was acting like just a spacer between the two. Poor engineering decisions about the location of the switch or the bad quality control in parts tolerances. By moving the contact switch about 1/8″ lower in its assembly would make it work more consistent, reliable and protect from fast wear out.
With the current design it is going to be a ‘lemon’ for unlucky customers.
One can fix it by shortening the switch and adding external electric switch. But why would you sign up for doing it? I got it at the beginning of May. And I see people complaining about the same symptoms. Once the switch becomes unreachable this device will not turn on. If you are not handy with home appliances you will regret buying this product. It looks like the product was designed to fail after short time. Two months is however way too short for me to stay with the brand. I am looking elsewhere from now on…
I would not recommend it.
