Product Description

Following in the footsteps of its popular coffee maker, Mr. Coffee introduces its newest in the line of innovative small appliances - a steam espresso and cappuccino maker that prepares one to four cups. Contemporary and stylish with an attractive matte finish, it features a pressure safety valve, removable frothing aid and a three-way knob that allows for separate brewing and frothing. Comes with a measuring scoop and a hidden cord storage area. An innovative leader in the coffee-making industry, the brand Mr. Coffee made its brewing debut in the 1970s. Endorsed by baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, Mr. Coffee was one of the first to introduce a "programmable timer - delayed start" feature allowing you to set the timer before you go to bed for a that first fresh cup the moment you wake up. They also pioneered the "pause and serve" feature that lets you sneak a cup before the brew cycle is completed. Now a part of Sunbeam Products, Inc., Mr. Coffee brand includes many specialty items for the coffee connoisseur like espresso and cappuccino makers, iced tea and hot chocolate makers plus a handsome lineup of accessories.

Customer Reviews

Excellent for the Price! Good Little Machine
I USED TO drink Starbucks daily so I am kinda picky with my espresso/latte drinks. This is a great machine for the price. It was very affordable at Target. Easy to use and makes yummy espresso. The reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because it didn't come with a tamper to press the coffee down. Also the little knob to start the brewing is a bit hard to turn. Since I had some medium grind coffee left over I used that it was fine. Otherwise I've used it for 2 weeks now and no problems whatsoever!

A real pain
Way too much trouble to use. All screw-on parts are too hard to operate and the milk frother cannot be used without brewing coffee. (Water alone runs through too fast and there is no steam build-up, hence no frothing). When the frother does work, it makes a very watery kind of froth. (I have a battery-operated frother that is a million times better). The quality of the tiny coffee pot is also very poor (the handle is too soft and sort of splits in half). This is one useless machine.

Mr Coffee Cappuccino Machine - one slight flaw
The machine works just fine now. The first time or two the steam escaped through the top. I believe this is due to the fact that it does not screw down straight and tight. I tried to adjust it as I put it on, but it continues to screw on slightly crooked. Overall though - it does the job!
