Mr. CoffeeCafe Latte Maker

I used to occasionally purchase a $4.25 latte as a treat during the workday, each time silently berating myself for spending such a foolish amount of money on 12 oz of soymilk and telling myself that if I just bought a latte maker for my office...So I finally bit the bullet one day and purchased this. I am so glad I did. I can now buy a carton of soy milk or almond milk for $2-3 and get about 8 lattes out of it.NON-DAIRY MILKS: I have used Silk Chocolate soymilk, Silk Vanilla Lite soymilk, and Lite Almond milk as well. They have all worked fine.FROTH: This doesn't get the same level of froth that you get from a coffee shop steamed latte, with those really tiny dense bubbles. These bubbles are bigger and disappear faster, but it's still a delicious caffeinated treat, and it's practically free compared to the price of a coffee shop version. However if you are really serious about a perfect recreation, then I would suggest going with a steam-based frother/espresso machine instead. I get the same amount of froth from all of the milks I've tried; one difference I have noticed however, is that there seems to be a greater amount of froth when making two servings instead of one. However, like I said, it's gone after a couple minutes, so at that point it doesn't matter anyway.OPERATION: It is extremely easy to fill, operate, and clean up. It is basically the same as using any regular coffee maker, but you pour some milk in the carafe as well. I actually get a little kick out of pushing the lever and seeing the little electrodes move down and hearing the whizzing noise start up. About the noise, it is pretty quiet, doesn't bother my office mate (she actually said it was soothing once and was slightly disappointed when it stopped) and it can't be heard at all in the next office over. Only difference in cleanup from a regular coffee maker is that you need to swipe out the carafe with a sponge rather than just rinsing with water, but this really only adds a few seconds.I had purchased a wand/stick style frother in the past, but stopped using it fairly quickly. I really like that this machine is just so effortless and brainless; just set it up and when it's done it's done. Compared to microwaving the milk, frothing it by hand, making coffee, mixing together, so much work right?? (1st world problems)OVERALL: This is the type of appliance that I feel a genuine almost motherly affection for. Like my electric pressure cooker, I am so enthralled with them every time I use them, I'm close to naming them and giving them little pats on the head/lid when they're done. That's how much I love this thing!In short, I would definitely recommend this!

I am a latte lover but do not like the hassle of the steaming and cleaning involved with most latte makers. This unit is quick and easy, and although it does not actually steam the milk, it creates a ton of froth and provides the same taste that I get from my $$$ latte from Starbucks at a fraction of the cost.What I like:1) You can make just one cup of latte in a matter of minutes.2) The strength of the coffee and amount of milk can be adjusted to your taste. Experiment adding and subtracting until you get the right mix for you.3) Regular drip coffee filters can be used (the round ones), no need to buy special size filters. The bottom of the filter fits just right on the bottom of the removable filter, then just overlap the folds in the sides of the filter to fit in the filter basket. This comes in handy as I also make full pots of coffee from time to time, so I don't have to buy two filter sizes.4) The unit automatically turns off when the brewing is done, so no worries about forgetting to turn it off before leaving the house.5) Cleaning is a breeze. Right after it shuts off, I rinse off the wand that stirs the milk, and wash the filter basket and pot. Even though the top and pot are not immersible, the opening on the caraffe is large so its very easy to wipe it out. It's faster than cleaning my regular Mr. Coffee pot was.6) The price was very reasonable. Other latte makers are much more expensive, more complicated to operate, and harder to clean.What I don't like:Nothing so far. After reading some of the reviews I was worried about the cleaning, but that turned out not to be a problem at all.I've only had it for a couple of weeks though, so we will see how durable it is over time.Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase! I think it's a great little machine for the money and it definitely satisfies my caffeine fix every morning!

For anyone who is a fan of coffee shop style lattes this is the machine for you! I used to have a little home espresso and frothing wand machine but it was very finicky, time consuming and had a lot of problems. With my Mr. Coffee machine I just press a button and then moments later have an amazing latte ready to go! While it's true that it doesn't do "real" espresso if you're the type of person who isn't too fussed about that kind of thing and want some good lattes it's the perfect machine for you!

毎日美味しく飲んでいます。何しろ簡単に作れるので毎日作るのが苦ではないです。牛乳ではなく豆乳に変えて作ったり、ラテアートを楽しんたり、、、ただ、泡が強くたちすぎて固い泡が乗っている時もあります。

Me encanta mi cafetera. Llego un dia antes de lo esperado, y todo en perfecta condicion. La trato de usar todos los dias, y usualmente agrego el agua y el espresso la noche anterior y en la mañana cuando estoy terminando de arreglarme le agrego la leche. Definitivamente compra cafe espresso y no americano para que sepa mas rico (en mi opinión), aunque si prefieres tu cafe menos fuerte puedes usar cafe americano o hasta descafeinado. No he probado ninguna de las ideas en el recetario incluido, pero he agregado chocolate derretido y chocolate en polvo con mi leche para preparar mocha, y sale bastante rico. Me ha ahorrado bastante dinero, y me siento feliz con el producto. Hasta los baristas de Starbucks me han empezado a comentar que ya casi no voy a visitarlos, y yo creo que asi se quedara! :)

Es más pequeño de lo que pensé que sería, pero no es problema. Ya que no cuento con mucho espacio en mi cocina.Es facilísimo de usar, y deja los lattes al “punto”.Ahora ya puedo tener un café de cafetería en casa y en cosa de pocos minutos.

Love my Mr. Coffee latte maker. So glad they have improved the quality of the carafe as my previous one broke. So happy with Amazon service😊😊😊
