I want to start off and say the main reason I purchased this unit was for the steam wand. I needed a Diamond Steamer and I didn't want to pay $100 for a Jewel Jet or similar jewelery steamer. I did some research online and on diamond forums and found that the espresso machine steamers produced steam that was capable of cleaning jewelry. For the $37.00 price tag of this machine I decided it was worth a shot. I filled up the machine and did a test run to see how good the steam was and all I have to say is it is more than sufficient to clean jewelry and I give it a huge thumbs up in terms of value versus the stand alone steamer. Now onto the espresso making part of this machine. It is very simple in terms of its operation. I used to be a former barista and it makes decent enough espresso to be used for lattes, cappuccinos, and americanos because the milk and flavoring mask most bad pulls. Now the flavor of the espresso really is a function of the grounds you choose and the grinder that you have available to you. You will have to experiment with the grind coarseness to match this machine exactly. I just received my unit but I will be experimenting to see what the ECM160 likes in terms of how fine or coarse my grounds need to be. I have read other comments about the ECM160 and blowing up and other places online have addressed this issue and it seems that some users are either tamping much too hard, using too fine of a ground, or not locking in portafilter far enough. Also users need to look under the unit for the rest of the cord. It is just coiled underneath for shipping purposes. I do wish the wand was longer and could be moved, but I still find it is useful. The plastic steaming attachment really needs to be removed as it is of no help at all. I was actually impressed with this little units ability to froth milk. I created very very thick foam with this unit on the first try using a coffee mug and 2% milk. If you want the really dry foam the trick is to work the tip just underneath the surface of the milk. The carafe that comes with this unit is fine and if it does break like others have mentioned you always have the option of getting actual espressso shot glasses and using those as a true measurement for each shot. Now I do wish they would have provided a better tamp and milk carafe but at this price they would probably be junk anyways. My biggest concern is with the portafilter. I have to double check the dimensions but I don't think it is a standard size. It seems a little flimsy and I would like to replace it with a double spout unit if possible. I still have more research to do on this part. My last recommendation is for everyone knocking the quality of this unit, spend some money on a very good burr grinder such as the Baratza Maestro Grinder. A good burr grinder along with good beans will do a world of difference for your espresso. All in all I would recommend this unit to people as a cheap espresso solution. It's cheap enough for people to try. It's also a good backup and travel unit. The added bonus is the jewelry cleaner.

I really wanted to get into making espresso at home as I always found myself going to Starbucks or other local coffee places multiple times every week. I investigated buying an Illy Pod machine, however when I went to visit a friend in L.A. she has this exact machine and made me some espresso and it was wonderful. So instead of spending $150+ on a pod machine or a super fancy machine I decided to give this little guy a chance since she loved hers so much. I am glad I did an I will tell you why: Design: This is a really nicely designed espresso machine, it is small, simple, and overall looks nice sitting on the counter. It isn't fancy as it just has a turn nob to make espresso or use the steamer. The top of the machine can be used to hold anything, I put a few small espresso cups on top and it looks nice. Ease of use: It really doesn't get any easier than this to make espresso. Simply fill the water up to the 2 or 4 (cup) line and pour into the top, and pack the espresso into the holder up to 2 or 4. The espresso holder simply lifts and locks into place. Turn the nob and it will start brewing, and once you no longer see espresso coming out you can turn it off. Espresso: I have used Fresh & Easy Espresso and also Lavazza espresso and it tastes great with this machine. I mix mine with a bit of soy half and half and I am good to go, or throw hot water in for an americano. Many people rate the espresso machine based on it's ability to make that nice froth on top of the espresso and you will see a bit here when you make the coffee. It is complete steam based system and it seems to work fairly well. The froth on top of the espresso isn't extremely thick and I am assuming higher end machines will do this better. I will say that once I bought a Tamper to pack down the espresso it helped a lot, so invest another $6 or so to get one of these and it will make a pretty decent difference, if not just for the ease of use. Frother: On the side of the machine is a milk frother/steamer. I didn't read the directions so I honestly didn't know how to use it until my friend from L.A. came to visit. All you have to do is add water to the little steam icon on the cup and pour it into the machine. Then turn it on and give it a minute. The steam is hot and pretty intense. It actually does a nice job of frothing milk or soy as long as you figure out how to use it. TIP: I like to turn the machine onto Brew after I am done frothing as there might be some water left over. Summary: This machine by far is the best bang for the buck. I have had it for around 2 months, and my friend has had it for a year and it is great. I still occasionally go to Starbucks, but it is great to just have it available right in my house. For $30 definitely give this little guy a try.

To the engineer that posted detailed instructions on how you should use this machine. Your a genius! I have followed your advice from day one and not had one problem with this unit. This is a great little machine for not a lot of $$$$. I have saved a lot of $$$ making my own latte's. Sorry Starbucks I love you but....... I can make my own now :) I Here are the instructions I follow. If you follow the directions included with the machine to a tee your going to get disappointing water logged coffee. But if you have a basic understanding of pressure and steam you'll need to modify your operation of this little machine. What I do is fill the coffee filter holder to max shot coffee level line and use a coffee tamper to compress the espresso but don't pack it to tight just a simple tamp is all you need because your going to want to stop the excess water rush when the thick black coffee and cream stops pouring. I use only purified water unless you want your machine to last only 1 year from mineral deposits, and I fill glass carafe to reach the bottom of the metal band to ensure more than enough water and steam to do the job. With everything in place i.e. power off, coffee filter holder fully locked in, steam cap screwed down tight, frothing arm extended and ready with cup and milk standing by... I then turn the machine to knob to steam first to allow the machine to build pressure and steam without prematurely diluting the coffee filter holder, as soon as the frothing arm starts to sputter and produce steam with a hint of water I quickly switch the control knob to brew coffee position which brings in only hot steam and water trickling out only dark thick coffee and this is where you have to be rehearsed to act fast and operate the machine effectively! With the thick black coffee trickling, get your milk cup ready sitting under the frothing arm ready to be lifted up as soon as you see the brewing coffee go from slow tricking thick dark coffee to cream foam. It should have reached the first like on the coffee pot at this point. Now GET READY to turn the control knob back to steam the INSTANT you see that the slow dark cream foam trickling out slowly starts to speed up. The moment before you see the slow dark cream foam trickling out start to speed up to water, I Instantly raise my milk cup submersing the frothing arm under the milk to avoid splatter while simultaneously switching the control knob to steam, which instantly stops the brewing process to the coffee filter holder preventing water dilution. Turn the knob slowly once on the steam side and work your way up to full steam if you switch too quickly you will get a milk volcano lol. Once your milk is frothed to your liking. switch the control knob to off. That's it, perfect Espresso. Be sure to once you've made your coffee clear the rest of the steam from the unit once your done and clean the froth arm. I wipe the outside of the plastic cover then take it off and wipe down the metal portion to clean the steamed on milk off. Then I replace the plastic cover and turn the steam back on to clear out all the rest of the water and steam from the unit. This will clean the frothing arm but also release all the pressure that has built up in the machine. Once all the steam is released take the lid off the top of the water compartment and let the machine cool. Doing this when not in use will help prevent premature compression damage to the sealing gaskets, I only slightly keep both the steam cap and the filter holder screwed in place. If you lock them down to full tight position when not in use, I find that it will prematurely compress the sealing gaskets and they will start to leak early making brewing ineffective. Having said all of this, as a protective disclaimer I must say that this is what “I DO” and I'm not recommending any of these operating actions to anyone. "You should use the instruction book to a tee for OK strong watery coffee if that's what your after." Thanks E. Gonzales for your review. My coffee machine works like a charm and I have beautiful crema on my espresso every time. I did tweak his original instructions for user use and understanding as well as maintenance. ENJOY!! Your now a barista!

This is a good machine for beginners and people who aren't gourmet critics about their coffee. It gets the job done and makes it fairly simple to brew espresso. I have only brewed "2 cups" at a time and not attempted 4 yet, but I've consistently gotten a well-balanced brew with a nice crema. Although a devoted coffee snob could find criticisms your average Starbucks drinker should be satisfied. As others have noted you should buy a frothing pitcher if you don't already have one, as this machine doesn't come with one. Don't get one too large or the steam wand won't reach deep enough (see below). The main weaknesses are related to the steaming function, and each can be resolved with a work-around: 1) The steam wand is just a bit short, meaning even with a relatively small 12-oz frothing pitcher the wand can't quite get as low as you may want because the rim of the pitcher will be bumping up into the arm of the wand. You can compensate some by tilting the pitcher to make the milk deeper at one end. 2) The wand is also positioned directly up and down with no tilting possible, which makes it difficult to get the necessary angle to get the milk rolling--though after some practice I was able to achieve rolling milk by tilting the pitcher towards myself (front) and keeping the wand on the left side (machine side) of the pitcher. Although the manual instructs you to move the wand around, being able to get the milk rolling without moving the wand around is critical to creating the velvety microfoam that is the difference between a great latté or mocha and an OK one. 3) The steam wand also came with a "frothing aid" - a plastic cover with additional holes in it. I guess this is supposed to be helpful, but for my part I was unable to produce microfoam until I removed the frothing aid and just used the naked wand. 4) You can't easily steam without brewing espresso first (ex: to steam some milk for a child's hot cocoa, sans espresso), because the brewing process is needed to heat up the water for a few minutes to build up the steam heat and pressure. If you try to turn the steam function on without brewing first, the heating element comes on but you don't achieve enough pressure because the steam valve is open. If you try to run the brew function without coffee in the filter, the water floods through much faster and you end up trying to steam without enough pressure because the the water isn't hot enough yet, or you run out of steam very quickly because so much of the water ended up in the carafe instead of coming out as steam. Thus, the only way to steam without brewing first is to add a full carafe of water to the machine, set to brew, and let the carafe fill up to the 4-cup mark before switching over to steam.

Don't buy this machine if you want to make cappuccino......or anything else. Things I like: The compact size. Things I dislike: The cheap quality of materials used in building the machine The water reservoir cap that is narrower at the top than at the bottom, making it difficult to grip The ridiculously SHORT steam arm that will not even reach the bottom of a coffee cup, let alone a steam pitcher. The machine's inability to build up enough pressure to make foam. Since I moved back to the states after living in Italy over 20 years ago, I have made myself espresso and cappuccino everyday at home. So I do know what I'm talking about when I assess this machine, as I have used several different espresso makers over the years, and used them regularly. Other than my beloved CMA Genius Commercial 2 group, my next favorite machine is a simple steam driven machine similar to this one. Only not like THIS one! Steam machines do require a bit of knowledge and practice to get good results, but they work, they're simple, and they are inexpensive. I purchased this after my old Krups steam machine finally broke (it lasted 10+ years.....and did I say I used it EVERYDAY!?). The Mr. Coffee has overall cheapness to it. The filter basket is thin aluminun and can be dented on the bottom from tapping your coffee grinds out. The plastic parts are not durable thick plastic, but cheap. The lid is a tapered cone, thicker at the bottom and narrow at the top, with smooth sides. This doesn't make the machine inoperable, it just requires a really firm finger grip (not great if you have carpal tunnel syndrome - or weaker hands - or are just sleepy or lazy). My 6' tall muscle-y husband even said it was a pain. My biggest complaint is the frothing arm. Seriously. The arm itself is 2 INCHES!! (I measured) If you are using a thimble to warm your milk in, this will work. But if you are using even a small froth pitcher, this is totally inadequate. Even the silly plastic thing that goes over the top of the frothing arm (I guess it's supposed to be some type of froth enhancer, but I have never seen a need or found a use for one of these) only extends the total length to 2.75 inches. As bad as the inept frothing arm, is the machine's ability to produce enough steam to make frothed milk. If you brew espresso first, when you switch the knob to "steam" a weak stream of warm air starts to emit from the froth arm. I tested to see if more water was needed - filled up the tank to full, brewed espresso, and turned the knob. The same thing happened. I tested several different possible causes of the problem and there is just no fix. If you leave the knob on "steam" and keep waiting, (and waiting) eventually the pressure builds up a little bit, but never to the point of making good foamed milk .... I could hold my fingers directly under the stream of warm air and I wasn't in the least concerned that it might burn me. Hello - isn't steam supposed to be hot? It should be called a "warm air for milk" arm on this machine. If all you do is make espresso and do not want to froth milk, this machine can get you by; but better to buy a stove top espresso maker for half the price. I wouldn't recommend this espresso maker to anyone. Last words: Don't waste your money!!! Keep looking!!!

i am writing this as i sip on my earl-grey-steam i somewhat cautiously made with my mr. coffee espresso machine, and overall i must say i am impressed. judging from previous reviews, this product is something you will either love for the reasonable price or hate because it just straight-up exploded in your face. take my review with a grain of salt, as i have yet to actually make an espresso yet so i can't comment on the flavor of espresso it produces (haven't had a chance to go to the store), but i have run water through the machine for my tea and i have used the steaming wand to froth milk for my steamers. so far i have had a very pleasant first impression with this little machine. though it doesn't swivel like the one i used to use as a barista, the steaming wand is easy to use, strong, and is capable of producing very frothy milk if that is what you're after-perfect for dry capps. i didn't bother buying a stainless steel pitcher to steam my milk in and instead just steam it right in my coffee mug before adding my tea, which i would recommend doing in order to save yourself $10. also, because the steaming wand is so short i imagine one could potentially have an issue getting it to reach the milk in the bottom of a normal pitcher anyways. it is extremely lightweight, which could be taken as a pro or con, though personally i would prefer something that feels a little bit sturdier. initially i was terrified to use this machine after reading reviews saying their machine literally exploded in front of them, sending shards of glass flying (it seems that the pressure from the machine propels a tray from behind the pitcher out, causing the pitcher to violently shatter). this could be due to loose/cheaps screws used to hold the machine together, or because the pressure has not been properly released after each use. but as they say, an ounce of protection equals a pound of care, so i never stand directly in front of the machine while it's plugged in. oh, the things we do for caffiene. :)

So after opening this, I expected to have to clean it, but I didn't expect it to have as much trash and manufacturing byproduct in it as I did. The first time I steamed milk, it tasted like licking a circuit board (semi-expected) so I figured after running a bunch of steam through it it would go away. However, much to my dismay, I looked in the cup I used to catch the steam and water that was shooting out and there were metal and plastic particles in the water! I was absolutely shocked. So I ran more steam through it (filling it up to it's max with water and letting it all go through the steamer) probably at least 6 times, and each time metal and plastic came out. When I finally stopped getting particles out of the steamer, I tried to steam milk again, and it still tasted like circuit board. I thought it would've been well clean by now, but it wasn't. Then I switched over to the espresso side to see what would happen, and when the water came out I found a white flaky substance in the water. Again, horrified, I decided to clean it, only this time I stepped up my game and used part for part vinegar and water. I let it go through the steamer about 3 times, and the espresso part 3 times (both times using the entire tank for each cleaning). Then, and ONLY then, did I stop seeing mysterious particles in the water and the coffee/milk started tasting like it should. I was shocked it wasn't more clean than it was. Seriously, I probably could have sued them had I documented all of the contaminants I found in the water after cleaning it so much. That aside, as an espresso machine for a novice barista, it works well. Easy to use, easy to clean, steams milk well, brews espresso well. No bells and whistles, but it fits my needs and makes a good latte once you get the hang of it. Decently priced, so that always helps. But please, please clean it extremely thoroughly before you use it. Hopefully you won't have as much trash and residue in yours as I did mine, but if you get rid of it by cleaning it well it works fine.

As others have noted a steam espresso machine like this one will not produce the visually appealing crema that one expects with espresso. It does, however, produce an excellent, very rich and very dark cup of coffee that you will never get from a drip coffee maker. It is easy to use and the first cup of espresso was excellent. I roast my own coffee beans so while I am not an expert on espresso I do take my coffee drinking seriously. I likely will never use the frothing feature but that doesn't make this machine any less of a bargain. BTW, the tamper sold by Amazon has a 51mm diamter that will work with this machine even though it touches the sides of the basket (but at a level below that used for even one shot). 3 month update: I still believe this espresso maker is an incredible bargain. The only advice I have is use espresso beans and don't use too much ground coffee. Over packing of coffee may or may not shorten the life of the machine but it will definitely produce coffee with a bitter taste. 8 month update: I purchased the De'Longhi EC155 that I now use at home. The steam espresso machine is now in my office. At work I prefer an actual cup of coffee and as noted above it produces a very strong dark coffee of java. Better than any drip coffee machine can. 12 month update: Still working perfectly and producing excellent coffee. I've come to appreciate the espresso made by the De'Longhi with its incredibly thick crema but at work I seem to need a larger cup of java. Two of the three tabs on the coffee pot lid have broken off but the lid stays on when you pour out coffee. I inadvertently left the machine on brew for about an hour when there was no water in it and surprisingly it has continued to work perfectly. This machine may outlast several drip coffee makers I've owned!
