Great video of the machine , but a few pointers for the beginners here that I feel are extremely important. As someone who’s been making home coffee for over years with machines ranging from £20, all the way up to £400, I cannot stress enough these are to. So the amount of grounds and especially the “Tamping” is so very important and actually has a massive effect on the coffee taste and quantity (hence you speak of a bitter coffee, this basically means if bitter you have done something wrong with the Tamping) So measure the right amount, and tamp with quite a bit of pressure, this is the most important part regarding taste. And takes quite a bit of practice. So great rule of thumb, the tighter the Tamp, the more bitter the coffee. So like I say practice to get the right amount of grounds and the right pressure applies to tamping. You should get a serving of coffee running at about 26-30 seconds., to little or to long effects the taste of your coffee, it’s that simple. This part is something you should take care of as it’s what makes the actual taste, you should be able to drink a smooth rich espresso right out the machine when hey the correct amount and tamp correctly, otherswise you will get a bitter horrible coffee. Just spend time learning this part is how you turn a home Machine into and exceptable coffee machine. One final point as well, stirring at the end is something I’d never do, gentle stir to keep the froth, as you drink through the sweet frothy milk, again to make a shop bought taste. Hope I haven’t stepped on any toes here, but I felt I really had to mention the tamping and coffee it’s THE single main thing you need to get right, and I see far too many people moaning and complaining saying this like , eww it’s bitter, tastes horrible. It’s all down to the measurement and tamp pressure of your grounds. When you practice this you will be amazed at the difference, just try it, makes one tight and too much coffee, and make one loose and too little coffee… It’s that balance you need to get right, in time you will literally know what’s right for your machine, and all are different btw…. That’s why getting it right is important. Enjoy your coffee’s

This is the best instruction manual I've ever seen, and a course in making delicious coffee. You have a great voice. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland.

You are extremely detailed. Appreciate your time for us. It really helps.

Perfect. Glad you explained about the manual function as well. Really clearly explained and expertly done. Top marks!

Man that looks like one of the best color and crema espressos I've ever seen. People struggle for that perfection..

his instructions are so clear, good job!

I love this tip, its well detailed

Awesome review before I open mine ❤ thanks

Just so everyone knows you do NOT have to use a dark roast. I believe that is just a US thing. I lived in Italy for a few years. You can use any roast that you choose. Lavazza, which is an Italian brand, has different roasts for different level of taste. They have from Gold to Forte. My fave was Rosé which is a lighter taste and no bitterness. One of the best dark roasts is Café Nero. But we haven't been able to find it for purchase here in the states yet. You can purchase any bean flavor you choose, have it ground for espresso or grind it at home. I have a Crux grinder which does not heat the beans when ground. Café Bustelo (boo-stel-oh) is a very very bitter café and is better used in a Moka to make café Cubano. Or if you are like my husband who loves the bitterness then make your espresso. The way espresso (café) is supposed to be served is with a small glass of water you drink behind the café. That is the way that is served in any coffee bar in Italy. .. here's a funny little tidbit, in Italy, Cafe Americano is called dirty water. 🤣

Wow so detail , such a great video and thanks on the coffee bean grin tips.

ty for the detailed review

Thanks for the detailed video! I really appreciate it!

Thanks for the video, it was very helpful!!!

Nice review

It is worth any mess you might make. Love mine. Also after placing espresso I do not tap it down tightly. I find that by taping to tightly not all espresso gets exposed to hot water as it drops.

Thanks looking forward to more videos on this one

Best video ever! Thank you for this class:-)

This is the same as a Breville machine we get in the UK, I’ve just bought one

Just got ours. Great video

Thank you for the video, I just got the same machine

Thank you so much,

I saw at end of video you can add extra frothed milk with the manual button. I'm curious if that only works after making espresso? I would also sometimes just like to have a cup of coffee and add frothed milk and thought I could use that to add to my hot coffee I made. Your video was awesome!

Costco is selling this unit and it looks exactly the same but they have a different model number BUMC-EM7000DS. I'm curious if this is the same machine with just a different model number exclusively for Costco. And they are selling it for $159 includes $60 off. It sounds like a good deal.

Thanks so much for your very informative videos.I've learned a lot about espresso machines from you.I have a question since you have both models.Does the portafilter of Mr Coffee Cafe Barista(old model)fit into this one? Thank you.

Thank you for your detailed review, I so appreciate ALL your videos. They are always so comprehensive. I have a small Delonghi right now. But the portafilter is really small, even for the double shot. I read that in order to make a decent cup of espresso, it needs 16 to 18 grams of espresso ground to 2 ounces of water. Unfortunately, the double shot portafilter for the Delonghi only holds about 14 grams of espresso grounds, so my coffee is either very small or if I use just a bit more water then it is very weak. I’m really interested in the Mr. Coffee but am concerned if the portafilter holds enough grounds. Would you happen to know how many grams of espresso grounds the double portafilter can hold? Thank you so much for your reply in advance.

Thanks,great video

Great video! I cleaned it, but ever since I used very finely ground espresso (different than what I normally use) it's been totally clogged. Do you have any tips? I'm sure it's the tiny hole you mentioned that is clogged.

Cafe Bustillio lolol 😂 well, you tried and that's all that matters! Enjoy your coffee!

I've used two machines like this now - pressurized baskets and automatic frothing. These things are good for breaking into the espresso at home market. However, after getting a machine like the Breville Bambino, I have learned the true limitations of these cheaper home epsresso appliances. The baskets are smaller, so you don't get the full flavor, and it froths wrong - you usually end up with a lot of big bubble foam with heated milk, instead of true microfoam. These are OK to start with, but if you can afford it, move on.

Hi there! I just got a brand new Mr. coffee one touch coffee machine. Woot! But for some reason when I make either a Latte or Cappuccino the drink isn’t HOT. It’s warm but not hot like how it should be. Any idea of what I did wrong ? 🤔 Do you think if I leave the machine on for at least 10 mins before I make a drink would help ?

Isn’t it technically a macchiato if the milk goes in first? No matter, thanks dad 👍 good video

You could probably take the bottom drip tray out for larger cups

TY

I have a question about this machine: when you pull a double shot of espresso, does the machine have any way of sensing how much liquid it has passed through the grinds or does it just pull a shot for 15 seconds or whatever and then whatever's in the cup at the end is what's in the cup? I've seen some videos of these automatic espresso machines where they dump out a single shot of espresso in about 4 seconds, and I know nothing about coffee, but I don't think that's supposed to be right.

Excellent video! Thank you. My water tank keeps leaking after sitting for hours…always see water around in the afternoon or evening. Any advice? FYI it is brand new. Thanks

Does this machine have any indicator when there is no water in the water tank?Thanks.

Can you do a video and compare this with the Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista?

Love this machine but the milk compartment seems impossible to clean, can taste off milk and can see old white dried milk on the internal tube that doesnt come out, impossible to clean it and completely put me off using it now. Huge shame, guess automatic milk frothers arent great.

I've had a few coffeemakers over the years. This has outperformed them all giving perfect coffee. However, mine has suddenly stopped working... once it warms up I get three flashing lights and the machine will do nothing. fyi they are the lamps for large espresso, large latte and large capuccino. this happens most times I turn it on, but occasionally just the large and small capuccino lamps flash. Before this it has made delicious coffees every day for 15 months, and has had regular cleaning. Is my machine dead or is there a factory reset?

Can you make americano?

does it have plastic parts ? does the coffee taste plastic ?

Are you able to use it without the milk, just the coffee? And is this better than a bean grinding coffee machine is your opinion?

Ur vid was better then this stupid instructions they provide..thank You !!..now I know how 2 use this machine...😃

Am I supposed to empty my milk out of the machine before I turn the knob to clean the frother? or do I leave it empty or put water in it so it can be cleaned. Im confused.

👍🙂

No way to make americano/long black?

Got mine at $78 at a discount store for $79

Anyone try a bottomless portafilter on a Mr Coffee?

hello! after brewing coffee, there is water in the filter, what could it be? Thanks

Why my mr coffee make does water come out instead of milk if it is in cappuccino mode?

I keep getting buzzing sound when I push frother button, and latte button

Anyone knows the best size milk jug to use with this, rather than a cup?

Coffee is not comming and always filters fill with water 💦 can you guide me please 🥺

it's actually pronounced Boo-stell'-oh.

Guy

No, no, I'm doing it very wrong here, if there isn't another basket to put the coffee in, the gasket that can be seen at the bottom of the filter holder is useless. Someone from the factory should clarify what they are doing there is gasket. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZllqbZjmZu2npc.html

Just finished watching your cleaning video, watched this recommended just cause I wanted the satisfaction of hearing someone else have praise for this cool machine. ...what I didn't expect was to see and discover that I could have lifted the lower metal plate to a higher position this entire time. 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙄 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩. That's 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆.

There is no such thing as too much chocolate!

Lmfao what the hell.... this is a Breville knockoff or Breville knocked off Mr Coffee. Either way this is so embarrassing to see
