I can’t tell you how much we’ve enjoyed a quiet latte while Liam naps these days, and without having to annoy our neighbors. Coffee goes in the brew basket, milk, chocolate and caramel syrup in the carafe and in minutes I was sipping on a delicious drink. I’ve since made caramel and a vanilla cinnamon that was out of this world! So if you’re looking for a fast, inexpensive way to enjoy lattes at home, this Mr. Coffee Cafe Latte is for you.
There’s a lot to love about this latte machine, and positive reviews stated that it was easy to operate, was highly customizable, and delivered great-tasting coffee. However, others who left negative reviews claimed that it was overly loud, while others mr coffee latte maker said that it did not last as long as they were anticipating. As a former barista, I personally encourage you to use the manual mode, so that you can control brewing time perfectly. This will allow you to tweak your grind size for quality espressos.
I have learned to make almost effortless Espresso’s from my home without the big ticket prices of the best coffee shops. It also has a built in milk frother and a removable drip tray and two separate coffee baskets as well. Although it has two baskets, you don’t have to make two cups each time. It’s helpful to center one cup under both holes if you want to make a single cup at a time. I was slightly let down that it does not take coffee pods because they used to be my favorite.
Flanking the buttons are a pair of status lights, a power indicator on the left and ready indicator to the right. If you have the budget for a latte maker, we say it’s definitely worth the counter space to invest in one. A Moka pot is one of the best substitutes for an espresso maker. In fact, the Moka pot has been nick-named a “stovetop espresso maker” for this very reason. It was designed in Italy by Alfonso Bialetti to allow home baristas to get espresso-like quality in the comfort of their homes.
It also makes delicious coffee in general, which I consider a huge perk. Whether cold or hot, it can froth up milk for a solid latte, cappuccino, or macchiato. Top it mr coffee machine all off with the fact that this beaut is SCA certified, meaning it meets high-quality standards for even saturation, coffee blooming, and consistent temperature.
Granted, it’s likely that with low-budget espresso makers, you won’t get the quality brought by the high-end ones. Still, some can actually bring you close enough to the result so that you won’t even need a professional espresso maker. Users can definitely use this machine to make pretty latte art, but my skills are still at a rookie level.
