Mr. Coffee Steam Espresso and Cappuccino Maker - ECM91 Review

    As a coffee lover, who's favorite coffee beverages are breves, and having not been able to have one for quite some time, (gee, at least three days), I was thrilled to find this awesome machine at Wal-mart.

     It was at a time in my life when my most recently owned cappuccino machine had to be given up for a very important relocation,(space for items I wanted to take was very limited, and I was down to eenie-meanie-miney-mowing my last three items I really didn't want to give up!) Please keep in mind that the one I'm giving up here is a Braun espresso machine valued at over $100.

    After I'd arrived at my new location, I was still in a state of mourning for the machine I had to leave behind, when I stopped in at the area Wal-mart. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when my son, ( who is in his thirties, and is a worse caffeine freak than I), brought this Mr. Coffee Cappuccino machine to me and said, "you won't believe this, guess how much this machine costs?" I think my answer was something like .. too much, when he said thirty bucks. I grabbed the box, looked it over carefully and said, "but it's a cappuccino maker, are you sure that's right?" He said, "yes, I couldn't believe it myself." Of course, we bought it!

    It has done just as fine a job as our Braun machine did on making an excellent cup of espresso, cappuccino, and, of course our favorite lattes and breves. We grind our own beans, (the bean grinder is a much smaller machine, and I'd have carried it in a larger purse, if I would have had to!)

    The only down side is that the markings on the one knob that it has for operating it, wore off rather quickly, but you can be sure we found a way to make a necessary mark on it for our personal use!
