Cafe Barista is heavenly! Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Café Barista Espresso Maker

This Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 machine is fantastic! It is user friendly and easy to clean. The froth is amazing and I love that I can customize each drink that I make. My husband loves the espresso and I get to have a coffee shop drink every morning in my own home!

The Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Café Barista Espresso price is great compared to other similar models and I love not dealing with pods! I would highly recommend this machine. I thought I would give this a try since I have had the old version of the Mr. Coffee Latte machine for quite some time and enjoyed it. Making your coffee and having the milk froth up and go into the coffee without having to do a dozen steps is so cool.

I need my jolt in the morning and this Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Café Barista Espresso gives me just what I want and need without a big fuss and break the bank feeling. It's so easy to use and easier to clean. I drink my coffee black, so my first drink was naturally a double espresso. I suggest you purchase some REALLY good quality coffee to take full advantage of just how well this thing works.

Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Café Barista Espresso Maker Pros:

• can use whatever brand of coffee you prefer, you're not stuck with expensive pods/capsules
• strong pump that produces rich crema
• milk frother
• espresso/cappuccino/latte at the press of a button (the machine automatically adjusts the amount of milk and coffee in the serving)
• options for making single, double shot and custom servings
• milk frothing can also be controlled manually (you can adjust the amount of milk in the serving if you're unsatisfied with what the automatic programs provide)
• the milk container and the lid of the container (which contains the frother) are both dishwasher safe, although I haven't tried washing them in the dishwasher.

Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Café Barista Espresso Maker Cons:

• none that I've found so far

We purchase whole bean dark roast Costa Rican coffee exclusively and grind it as needed. The espresso had a beautiful rich crema and was delicious. My first foray into a latte for my wife was met with great enthusiasm. Evan as a trained chef, she never really got steaming the milk for a latte or cappuccino down to an art.

Fill the milk reservoir with your choice, milk, soy, almond milk, half and half, whatever you'd like. I'll easily save the cost of this machine several times over if it lasts a year by staying out of Starbucks. My husband and I enjoy strong coffee, this machine is simply perfect for a good cup of coffee. Instead of tasteless and expensive coffee pods and cartridges, you can use your own coffee.

I saw previous review that mentioned you don't need to go to Starbucks for coffee anymore, that's very true, we used to be big Starbucks fans, not anymore, the coffee makes better coffee and I still enjoy watching the brewing process after having this machine for few months. With this Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Café Barista Espresso Maker price, every coffee lover deserves to have one.
