Mr. Coffee® One-Touch CoffeeHouse Espresso and Cappuccino Machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product far exceeded my expectations. It is well built, easy to use, and produces high quality espresso drinks. Out of the box, the machine was very easy to prepare for first use. I was impressed with the large variety of features offered at this price point. Once I familiarized myself with these features, preparing my desired beverage was a straightforward and simple process. The milk frother works great with my dairy free milk. Components like the milk and water reservoirs are easy to remove and effortlessly lock into their position. The self cleaning function helps make cleanup simple. If you're sensitive to noise like I am, you may find this machine to be loud. I also wish the manufacturer included a key on the milk reservoir for measuring the amount of milk being poured into the machine. However, overall, I'm very happy with this machine and am looking forward to continued daily use.

Love this machine! Easy to setup, use and clean.

When I initially received the One-Touch CoffeeHouse I was quite intimidated, I typically just buy coffee on the run. Once I read the paperwork that came with it I was able to acquaint myself with the product and used it with no issues. I particularly like that I can set the amount of foam and get my coffee how I want it without paying extra for someone else to do it. Overall I find it to be a great product that will with stand a long time of use and save money over time making my own daily brew. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Although the instructions weren’t very clear at first, once I figured it out it was pretty easy to use. It was straightforward after that. Easy to clean. The options are easy to choose from. Looks sleek and modern. Was loud at times but I’ve never had an espresso machine in my home before. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I love this machine, but I'm spending more money on different beans because I'm drinking more lattes now. Is that a problem? Nope! Some perspective: I live in the Pacific Northwest where coffee is worshiped like a God. Where you can't swing an empty mug without hitting a coffee house, drive through espresso place, or a roaster. Where making a lousy espresso can get you run out of town. Too dramatic? Not for PNWers. For 15 years I've owned an Italian Super Automatic Espresso machine and when it finally went to the big coffee house in the sky I darned near cried - I was crushed. I'm retired now, and couldn't drop that kinda coin on a replacement, so I shopped for manual machines knowing I'd probably end up pining for the good ol' days with my Super Automatic. Saw this Mr Coffee machine, and since lattes are my drink of choice, decided to give it a try. Well, you know what? I don't miss my old trusty Italian machine the slightest bit. I love this Mr Coffee machine THAT much! I used to have a latte or two in the a.m. and that's was it, I was satisfied. Now, I find this machine has me craving Lattes several times a day and decafs in the evening. I've had to double my milk budget. I find when combined with a good burr grinder, the Mr Coffee Coffeehouse makes a much more flavorful drink than my expensive Super Automatic did, and using less coffee. I think my wife is getting tired of hearing me say how much I love this machine. Also, FWIW, I like the looks of the machine and it certainly seems well made. Yes, the frother is a little loud, but not any more so than the grinder on my old Super Automatic, just makes noise a little longer. Unfortunately I've found the sound causes a Pavlovian response and starts me drooling in anticipation. :^) I like having one latte with one type of bean, then another with a different roast. Note in the photo my four little airtight containers for four different ground coffees (Yeah, don't tell the hard cores I pregrind a couple days worth of beans - gasp!). My lattes are large and my the tall glass I use won't fit in the machine, but I use the stainless steel milk frothing pitcher from my old machine to brew into then pour it into the glass. Easy-peasy. If you've never done it before it'll take a little experimenting to get the right grind. Too fine and the coffee will just barely drip from the portafilter, too course and it will come out looking watery. Just right and you'll get a golden, or dark golden thickish looking stream. Grounds should look like a little finer than granulated sugar. Try to pack the grounds with the same pressure each time. There's a little bit of skill involved but the results are worth it. One word of warning for anyone considering buying this machine to make regular coffee. It can be done, you just brew a shot - or two - into a cup(s), dilute with hot water and you have an Americano. Depending on how strong you like your coffee, you'll get one or two cups before you need to dump the used grounds (puck in espresso terms), reload and brew again. It is NOT a machine that makes a pot. In conclusion I'll add a little irony to my review. I grew up in a coffee drinking household, and I remember electric and stove top perk brewers in the 50s and 60s. As a teenager in the early 1970s I remember my folks purchasing their first new-to-the-market Mr Coffee machine. It was kept on and full of coffee from 5am till midnight every day of the week. When that machine wore out they bought another. Well, I followed suit until moving to the PNW where I graduated to espresso and lattes, and never thought about Mr Coffee again. Now almost 35 years later, that name is back on my kitchen counter. Thank you Mr Coffee, it's good to have you back.

I am in love with the Mr. Coffee One Touch Coffeehouse! I’ve always wanted to have a fancy coffeemaker that would let me indulge in my favorite specialty drinks right at home! I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to save time and money. You don’t need to go to a fancy coffee shop anymore, because this coffeemaker will basically pay for itself after awhile. I am not the most technical person, but this coffeemaker comes with great instructions, and was very easy to use. At first, I thought it was a bit time-consuming to clean, but once I got the hang of it, it was not that long. It takes longer to clean than my old simple drip coffeemaker, but the amazing lattes and cappuccinos I have had every morning make it worth the extra clean up time. I love that there are two sizes of filters, so I can make myself a double latte, while giving my teen the smaller size. It’s nice that you can adjust the amount of foam that you want in your drink just by turning a knob. I love that you can store the milk container in the fridge if you have some remaining, instead of throwing it out. It’s so easy just to grab it from the fridge in the morning, add more milk, and reattach it to the coffeemaker. I’m excited to try the feature that lets you just add foamed milk to a chai latte. Or to hot chocolate! I can’t wait to have friends and family over and serve them some of these fantastic drinks! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought on September model BVMC-EM6701 Inconvenient to insert and remove plastic with milk. Plastic filled with water flows from the bottom And so I am very pleased that i bought this machine because you get testy coffee with rich foam. No possible add photo. Some time have water on the porta filter after used.

I’ve had good luck with my product until recently. The machine won’t stop flashing the light on latte. I don’t know what that means I can’t find an answer. But I can’t make any more espresso or anything else. I have tried cleaning and resetting. No information available on why or how to fix it.

The espresso maker is very elegant looking and makes for great cafe style drinks at home. There were no instructions on how to make drinks that were for specific tastes or even recommendations. I do not like that there is no way to store the milk in the fridge if not able to use all at one time. It was hard at first to figure out if I was making the drinks correctly, but you get used to it after a couple of times. Overall a nice idea but if you're not a die hard espresso drinker, a bit too pricey I think for a once in a while cafe at home. I know it's several things negative but it can make some good cappuccinos! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is my third Mr. Coffee and not worth it. The first machine I had was amazing. I got it when I started med school (you can imagine I used it a lot) and it worked perfectly for 2 years. I moved, gave it away and decided to upgrade the model. I got the model before this one. It worked perfect for the first 3 month. The frother stopped working and little milk was coming out even after cleaning the machine. I got it replaced for the new model and now I am going through the same thing... Frother does not work and very little amount of milk comes out. I use the machine mostly in the morning for my cappuccino and after lunch for an espresso. Not happy with the product!
