5.0 out of 5 stars Good and Quick, February 16, 2005

Amy - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. Coffee ECM91 Steam Espresso and Cappuccino Maker (Kitchen)

After reading a lot of reviews on other machines, I chose this one and I'm so happy with it. I am the only coffee drinker in my family, and I can make two lattes/cappuchinos in just a couple minutes.

It is easy to use and easy to clean. The frothing attachement works well, but it does take a few times to get the timing down. For the price, I think this is a fantastic machine.

Don't listen to the coffee snobs that think that pump-driven is the only kind to get. Not all of us have the money to afford one.

I use Starbucks espresso and it tastes great! Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars It does the job, November 27, 2003

This review is from: Mr. Coffee ECM91 Steam Espresso and Cappuccino Maker (Kitchen)

I wanted a very inexpensive espresso maker to see just how much I would use it before I invested in one of the top-of-the-line machines. So, I purchased the Mr. Coffee and it's doing the job better than I expected.

I don't use the froth on the Mr. Coffee because I have a separate froth machine which has opposing beaters that makes thick froth, heats, then turns off, all without using steam. Therefore, I have my froth and espresso ready at the same time. I just pour them both into a 15 oz mug and the result is a very hot and great tasting mocha cappuccino ready in 5 minutes. The Mr. Coffee espresso machine works so well that it may be quite some time before I invest in a super-automatic.

For anyone interested in a froth machine, go to frothaulait.com. I've used mine for 2 years and love it.

The up side:
1. Quick and easy to clean.
2. Simple to use.
3. Makes good espresso.
4. Small footprint.
6. Steam driven so there is no learning curve on tamping the grounds.
7. Makes over 8 oz of espresso which is enough for TWO 14-16 oz of cappuccino.

The down side:
1. Filter retainer clip is a little flimsy.
2. Espresso not comparable to espresso bars or high end machines, but very acceptable.

Tips:
1. Use the provided carafe to measure water and pour into machine.
2. To cool down the boiler quicker just open the steam valve, but put a sponge under it.
3. You can use a cup or carafe unless you want 2 separate cups. In that case use the carafe.

Bottom line:

I can highly recommend this inexpensive entry-level espresso machine.

Unlike to some other Mr. Coffee products, this one is built to last and does not produce coffee that tastes like plastic. I've had this product for over 4 years now, and I never had the slightest problem with it. Highly recommended!!!
