Product Instructions

Product Manual

Care & Maintenance

Make sure the control knob is in the “Off” position. Fill water measuring cup to the 4 cup mark with fresh, undiluted white household vinegar. Add vinegar to the water reservoir. Brew just enough to get some vinegar to come out. Steam just enough to get some vinegar to come out, then unplug the machine. Allow appliance to sit overnight with the vinegar solution in the water reservoir. Discard vinegar through the top opening of the espresso maker by turning the machine upside down over the sink. Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly with tap water by filling tank half full with water and then pouring the water back out into the sink, repeating this step twice. Brew and steam with fresh water at least 4 times or until you do not smell any vinegar.
Once every 1 to 3 months depending on usage and the type of water, we recommend that you delime your machine to keep it working properly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by willster459 from Great Little Espresso Maker! To start off, I did receive this espresso maker for free but this review is 100% my own honest opinion. This Mr. Coffee Espresso Maker is a nice basic unit that does its job well in making a quick delicious espresso. The instructions could be more detailed but once you get the hang of it, it is very easy to use and does more than you think this little unit could in speed and frothing. The speed is the main thing I think about the machine as once you set it up and turn it on, it quickly goes to work and in no time you have a quality espresso without the high price of the coffee shop. A must for anyone looking for an entry level but efficient and quality espresso maker.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lukan91 from Fantastic Value I purchased one from Target a few months back, and have been impressed by just how well it works and how durable it is. I use it every day and have had no issues with it. Some have remarked that this machine isn't capable of producing a crema, but I haven't had this issue; it doesn't exactly give you a half-cup worth, but it makes a nice rich foam that will top off the espresso underneath. For the price, you really can't go wrong, especially if you're just getting into the espresso game like me (went to Italy back in January and got hooked). Might upgrade to a fancier machine down the line, but for now, I'm very happy with this guy.

Rated 1 out of 5 by HiDee from Not as good as the ECM160-RB I bought this machine a few weeks ago to replace my beloved ECM160-RB (an older version of the same machine) as it was the only version any of my local stores stocked. I had my previous machine for two years until the handle broke off. I am so disappointed with this new machine. It does not brew espresso, it brews coffee. The final product is nothing like my old machine with zero crema. My lattes are horrible and I almost had to resort to going back to buying coffee out again. Fortunately, the Mr Coffee website still sells my old machine, of which I have already ordered one. This new one is the pits, with a higher price point, and I don't recommend it to anyone

Rated 2 out of 5 by tigerslover59 from Cute espresso maker I bought this 1 week ago and was so excited about the frother!! The major problem is the wand cover broke after the 3rd use and the frother doesn’t work without the cover. No replacement parts online. It sounds like they don’t have replacement parts available right now. Why do they sell products that are not tested first?

Rated 2 out of 5 by WKen from Does not last very long We have had two of these so far and both failed the same way. If you have even a small amount of water splash outside the filler opening it runs down into the housing. There is a small microswitch on the inside connected to the dial. The water runs over that microswitch getting it wet so it fails. On the first one I replaced the microswitch and that one lasted about a year. We have two of them one up at a cabin in Georgia and that one too failed the same way. So I bought two regular switches and installed them in the side of the housing rather than throw them away. They have been working fine since. If they had simply installed a little shield over the microswitch they would not fail.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Marcia234 from Good little machine, but I received this expresso machine for a Birthday present. Makes a small cup of expresso but it will do. What i was disappointed with is that with my second time using it, the black steam wand covering melted and broke away. I know I can steam without it, but why did it break off and get real soft?

Rated 4 out of 5 by brokebutlikescoffee from Great Value I bought this machine a few days ago in an attempt to save some money and stop going out for coffee everyday. It does everything that I need it to and works pretty well. I am glad that I bought it do not regret buying it at all. I am excited to buy some coffee syrups and make all different kinds of lattes. Perfect for a college student on a budget. The only issue I have had with it is that one time when I went to steam my milk, the wand sucked all the milk into the machine? I'm assuming some kind of vacuum was formed but I wasn't sure how to clean the inside of the machine so I really hope I cleaned it right.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cschwartz321 from Great daily latte/macchiato machine! This is a great machine. I’ve always independently held an espresso machine and a separate frother because these combo machines never quite did the trick. This one actually makes beautiful fluffy hot froth. I have had to be careful to have a large enough cup because the milk and froth with the attached wand can more than double in size! Great little machine and super easy to use. Feels like it will hold up well to daily use too. It comes with easy markings in the coffee chamber and water fill cup that shows you where to stop filling if you’re working with 2 shots or 4 shots. Nice little machine!
