How to Make Espresso / Cappuccino & Froth Like a Beast with a Mr. Coffee Espresso Cappuccino Machine

- Being born and raised in the Seattle area, I will admit that I am an espresso junky. The price of an espresso is a bit much these days, and I take pleasure in being my own barista. Yes, I like sugar. Yes, I know it's bad for me. Tweak your coffee, espresso, or cappuccino to your liking.
FYI:
Here is more information these current days:
Buying and drinking non-GMO/Organic Whole Coffee Beans has a lot of antioxidants when you drink it within 15 to 20 minutes. Grind the coffee once the filtered water is already hot, that's when you will be healing rather than feeling horrible based on acidic coffee. Filtering your water is very important. Please make sure you know which filters really remove toxins. Many now only remove the smell. I also sometimes use the Coffee Press or the Mr Coffee Steam Expresso Maker. I typically mostly use the most protected filters on top of the cup. I learned a lot about PODS and Pl@stic. Please pay attention, but all of you be you.
This is an older throwback video. I don't use the syrup anymore. I have been removing a lot of sugar over the past five years. I hardly ever have sugar, and I eat less food in a day than most eat for break-fast.
Today I want to share how to make espresso (some say it's cappuccino) and froth like a beast.
I have used Mr. Coffee Espresso machines for years. I've always had good luck with them.
I hope some of you find this useful.

Thank you so much for this! My daughter bought one for me for my birthday bc she said my daily visits to SB was out of control lol. She wasn’t wrong, but after watching this, I was super confident in making my very own. It didn’t quite taste like my usual, but I’m trying different recipes and ingredients until I find the perfect match
I understand. I was in SW VA at that time. No SB near. I am back in WA and SB's are everywhere but I'm a thrifty lady. I'd rather make my own and put my SB money into crypto. LOL

If you tilt it and barely put the tip in the milk for about 20 seconds then drop the wand down to the bottom till the milks hot you should get a nice thick foam. That’s the way they trained us at Starbucks. It gives the foam a slight sweetness
Thank you very much. I will try that today.
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy what you want is a deeper milk find a more tall cup instead of wide put it near the surface for 20 secs then put it down and heat the milk until it's the temperature you want 60c is ideal for a sweet milk that isn't burnt
Thankyou for the tip!
Thank you so much for sharing this
in frothing the milk, the process i love to use starts by letting out some steam before putting the wand in the milk until the air flow is consistent. then, i would dip the very tip of the wand into the surface of the milk while the steamer is off and then start steaming again. it should emit a very high pitched tearing noise. i do this for no more than 12 seconds (closer to 12 for a cappuccino, less for a latte), then i completely dip the wand into the pitcher at a slight angle so that a vortex is created. the goal is to have no air bubbles so that the texture of the milk is smooth like paint. once the milk is hot to the touch, i stop the steam, take the pitcher, tap tap tap it on the counter, and swirl. doing this is another way to get rid of any surviving air bubbles. then, i would pour the milk into my espresso!
i have the same espresso machine as you do! i definitely recommend removing the black cover before steaming the milk and cleaning the wand using a wet rag or paper towel when purging it! i noticed that the black cover caused a lot of bubble build up and removing it was the best decision i've made!
Finally, an espresso how to vid that got right to the point without a lot of BS talk first. Thank you
I bought this machine last year from a yard sale and ended up puttinh in attic because didn't know how to use it. Currently spending 10 a day at Starbucks. Yep getting ready to climb up the attic stairs
I hear ya. I wish you and your family well. Hope you have beautiful holidays.
I use my mr coffee to make iced vanilla lattes. 4 shots of espresso, ice, 5 pumps of vanilla syrup, funfetti creamer, & milk. Yum.
I just bought one today at goodwill the exact brand and I payed $2.00 was so excited to find it. It was regular price 3.99 but it was 50:percent off day
I love thrift store shopping. ❤👀😜
Now you own a deceased persons coffee machine! Congratulations! Hope it didn't come with evil spirits though..
@@purplethanggoldhammer We donate things we don’t want anymore to the Goodwill stores all the time. We aren’t deceased.

This was really helpful to watch. My grandma gave me hers without instructions after she decided it was too complicated to attempt using it.
You are an excellent presenter and your diction is very good. There are so many people who would benefit from your demonstrations and presentations. I certainly have. I have friends who have bought very expensive coffee machines, thinking that all they had to do was switch on! No prior experience, nor the methodology you have . To me and I’m sure to you; preparation of coffee and final presentation is an art form in itself.
Thank you very much from the Wild Highlands of Bonnie Scotland
Really helps if I plug it in xD I love this
Thank you so much for this video I've been having the worst time trying to froth but after watching this I made the perfect cup. ☺️
Thank you for showing this. Everyone gets so artsy and use industrial equipment it's hard to tell
Thank you! I purchased this at a yard sale with no instructions. This was tremendously helpful ❤. On my way to find a booby cup 🤣
Y'all would never guess what happened to me. I recently purchased a $250 cappuccino maker on Amazon... It's also a mr coffee brand. I even paid for rush shipping bc during quarantine my breville one broke and I hadn't made a nice coffee at home in almost a over a year.. turns out it got lost in the mail! Had to request a refund!!! I went to Walmart this weekend in a spur of the moment decision bought this for $40. Works fine for me!!! If I get a few years out of it I'll be happy. Thanks for the help!!! ☕☕☕☕💜🏡
Thank you for this!! I just bought this machine since I’m missing my favorite lattes right now. This was really helpful!
Thank you! I’ve tried frothing the milk like 80000000 times this helped so much
We are all different. I'm glad you got it working. I'd rather make my own different coffees and invest my 5 dollars a day in crypto rather than pay $5.00 for fancy drive-through coffees every day. LOL I still love Starbucks Sumatra. It's my favorite.
Got this machine yesterday for $5 at yard sale w/out directions - thank you very much - great cup coffee this morning. I use agave sweetener
Good. I'm glad. I use Stevia now.
Thank you for teaching me how to use this machine that I had no clue how to use, even after reading the entire instruction manual! Lol.....btw, you have lots of spirit orbs in this video.... That's so cool! 😁
Sending good vibes, blessings, and positive energy. So happy more benevolent beings are raising their vibrations. ✌❤
Thank you for saving my sanity this morning. I had packed mine away and found it and needed a damn latte this morning. Now I won’t kill anyone today! Lol!! Thanks!!
That's Awesome, Really helps a newbie like me, to start making my own properly.
Just bought an Imusa brand espresso machine with no instructions so your video really helped. Thank you.
Good. I'm not perfect, but I'm glad it helped. Hope you are well. Sending my love.
I just got this exact model at a Goodwill for $12! Thank you!!
I got one for $5 :P
Now you own a deceased persons coffee machine! Congratulations! Hope it didn't come with evil spirits though..
@@purplethanggoldhammer worth it.
@@trashpandagroot You must be one of them Goth folks
@@purplethanggoldhammer not even remotely close. I'm thrifty.
3 years later now i know how to use it....Thanks so much!!!
Good deal. Sending my love. ✌❤
I’ve had mine longer and I came here looking how to use the steamer option thing for cappuccino, lol.
Thank you I appreciate this video. Way better than reading instructions.
Thanks for the tip on using a wide cup for frothing- will definitely try it!
I just got an espresso machine for christmas and was trying to figure it out! Thank you!
lol I just got mine for Christmas as well, read the instructions but am a visual learner :-D
@@davidhicks8613 I'm a visual learner too. 😂 Enjoy your lattes/capaccinos!
Me too 😍😍 I got this exact machine!
Ok. I have this machine. Espresso needs 15 bar of pressure and has a pump.. This machine does not have 15 bar, or pump, just steam. Typically want micro foam when frothing. This machine create macro foam. 😂 Basically it’s coffee with large foam milk. Not even close to cappuccino. Starting price for a low end espresso machine is $150 range and low end frothing wand. Many people including myself get suck into buying this machine and ended up at goodwill or garage sale. Put 4 tablespoon of coffee in regular coffee maker you will get same results. Save you money get a real espresso machine. Anywho, good instructional video!
Yes. I don't use an espresso machine now. I grind my grounds fresh and make a cup at a time with no coffee machine at all. I don't use syrup anymore. I still use a little light brown sugar and almond milk. I prefer using honey now. As its better for us than sugar. I also drink at least one cup of tea in between each cup of coffee so I can balance my acid/alkaline levels. I never learn it all overnight. Learning about and starting symptom tracking for my health has helped me reverse almost all of my labeled mefical issues. LOL
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy Can I ask you how you make a cup of coffee without a coffee machine?? Thank you!! 🙏📿❣
*PS* - I _also_ live in the Pacific NW - not all that far from Seattle!!! We _do_ indeed love our coffee!!! (And tea of course - I love both! 😍❣😊).
Thanks for the video. I have had a Mr coffee espresso machine sitting in my cubbord a long time and forgot how to use it. Fyi Just the coffee part is the espresso. Adding the foamed milk and syrup turns that into a mocha. Great tip for cleaning the frother
Actually is was a latte, Mochas contain chocolate. If I had even foam milk and espresso it would be a cappuccino.
Oh man the chuckle is awesome 🤣 Ive tried making coffee 100 x's until I found you 💪🏼 ty
I'm glad it was helpful. Happy holidays. I hope you and your loved ones are well. ✌️ ❤️ and Kindness.
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy amen same to you. You know I had my coffee maker for three months... Until today that I found you I couldn't figure it out. Thank you so much
God bless you and the family 🥰
Thank you so much your video was the most informative that I have found . My sister gavee a Mr coffee cappuccino maker visit when only used it one time and didnt remember how it worked. Your video just helped me make the best cappuccino ever so thank you for explaining it so well!
It's no problem. Glad that you have one. I love it. I can't help it. Peace, love, and kindness to you and your fav people.
You and I could so be friends! “It helps if you plug it in” Thanks for the video, I’d lost my instructions.
Sugar free syrups are delish with lattes :) nice video thanks!
Yeah. Sugar is horrible for us. I admit it. 😛 Happy Halloween. #AllTheCandy LOL
I learned something thank you Cindy
As soon as some drops of coffee start dripping is when I start frothing
Why? So you stop the brew?
@@SooSmokie yes! It’s so it builds up pressure so it can froth the milk
Hello. Love cappuccinos and was looking at ways on how to use my brand new Mr Coffee expresso cappuccino maker. I also do a little bit of ghost hunting and couldn't help notice you got an orb dancing around in front of the camera. Maybe it wanted a cup as well... lol
Yes. I'm a crazy lady who talks to my passed away mama and three Aunties. We are all different. I don't care what others think about me. Living in many places and traveling many places woke me up. ☮💌
@Coffee Time with Cindy absolutely nothing wrong with that. I talk like my uncle and grandma are still around. Thanks for the tutorial. I miss the cappuccinos I had when I was stationed in Italy awhile ago. This is actually my first time buying one of these and seeing if I can make em on my own... lol
@@tejsel Yep. Me too. I love being a fancy, spoiled, but cheap as fu(k lady. LOL.
I skipped 1:06, waited 20 minutes, rewatched it again and figured out why it wasn't brewing, silly me 😋
That's more of a cappuccino because of how your steamed the milk. It was very foamy which is perfect for cappuccinos.
I didn't know this at the time. You are correct. I left Washington in 1993 and came back in 2016. I only realized recently that espresso was a small black shot. I'm a thrifty gal and don't buy fancy coffee out much. Maybe three times a year if it's something new and different, maybe holiday related.
Thank you for the video! It was fun. So you have to leave the black rubber thingy on the frothing wand? I just got a machine similar to the one you are using here and I can't figure out whether the black rubber "sleeve" is just to cover/protect the wand or to improve the frothing in some way. Any thoughts?
Ok. Tried it the 3rd try and got Works great.
Thank you for the video with no spin. Namaste
Ditto, you beautiful cat lover, you. Namaste. 🐾🐱
I do this every morning with this type espresso maker.
I've not had my espresso in a while. I'm jelly.
Thank you so much! I have snagged 2 for 5$ a piece at a local thriftstore!
Good for you
That first step is where I screwed up. I put the grounds in the cup first. Then the lid.
Thanks for the instructions. I bought this a while ago tried it once and put it away it sounded like it was going to explode I thought. Right now I’m trying to kick my monster energy drink addiction and going to try this machine again.
Good for you! Glad you're leaning towards more healthy. ❤💥🚀🌙
If you start getting stomach issues from the coffee you might feel better with some tea. Some of us are more Alkaline where others are more acidic. I still drink coffee for magnesium; however, no more than two cups a day. I drink tea all the rest of the day and my stomach issues are gone.
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy thank you and I appreciate the advice I used to drink coffee all the time But wanted to kick sugar so I switch to energy drinks because they’re sugar-free but I think the sugar substitute is bad. So now I’m going to go back to coffee with only using sweetened almond milk just to cut the bitterness of coffee.
@@WulfricTheBlack Good for you. I was told to do symptom tracking for mental illness. LMFAO. I did it for my diet and take zero meds now. I was on eight, and almost all of my physical symptoms are gone. I'm learning food and what my body can't deal with. I fast a lot and try to not eat any gluten or dairy. I still have a little sugar in my coffee sometimes. ✌❤
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy oh I’m glad the food restrictions are helping you! I’m on a similar path with food restrictions but mine relate to skin issues. Certain foods cause painful cysts. I can never spell the disorder but the abbreviation is HS. Not supposed to have bread or pastries, excessive sugar, tomatoes, potatoes, or any nightshade veggies. No black pepper or other peppers. No alcohol no vinegar or fermented foods or dressings. No fruit juice. Some people have issues with coffee but so far the only reaction I had was from a bottle of concentrate. No dairy at all. Processed foods are bad. So I can relate. 🧡
Thank you, Cindy!
Very very informative. Kudos!!
Haahaa. Yeah. Them boobie cups are my fav for coffee. I'm not anti real boobies but they aren't my thing. Been wanting a boobie reduction for years. LMAO
so simple and easy tutorial thank yo
Just to counter some of the “experts” here, if you like the coffee then its right for you.
no one will like this coffee! 😂
@@gordanbabic8028 She does and that's all that matters.
I just bought the same machine last night but mine came with a small white ceramic cup not the mini carafe with the handle. I think having the carafe would be easier.
Jessi Veasey mine too did u buy the carafe
En target xon baso ceramic
I buu mine yesterday en walmart carafe
@@mariacalderon4658 what is he Walmart carafe called?
Is the same the cup ceramic i use the jar pirex working good too
I made it per your instructions. I Had to froth with it twice. It stopped for some reason so I had to put water in a tiny pot and run it a little then froth again.
Thank you again
Thank you. Happy holidays to you and your family. Sending my love.
real moms appreciate the cleaning
Thanks for sharing...I received this as a gift...thanks for providing the very important information concerning avoiding the STEAM >>>YIKES 💀💀💀😉😀👍
Damn you made a good coffee. I didn’t even know my machine can do that 😂
Thank you but one important notice which is essential that you need strong ESPRESSO coffee while you used a lot of water for the amount of coffee you used.
Thank you and all the blessings ...
I understand. Sumatra is my fav today. We are all different. This video was my coffee preference way back. I only have a maximum of two cups of freshly ground coffee and I drink tea in between so I don't feel so acidic. I only drink coffee for magnesium amd antioxidants. I have had issues with low magnesium, potassium, and B12 on multiple occassions. Especially when I was suicidal in 1998 and 2017. I study naturalistic remedies now and in the past two years I have none of my old labled issues. No more GAD, Bipolar, Panic Attacks, IBS, or Fibromyalgia. All gone. I worked hard the past two years to figure out what was causing my issues by fasting and only adding in Country Farms mix and then adding one food at a time weeks apart. This helped me understand what is unhealthy for my body and blood type. I don't eat more in a single day than most eat for breakfast.
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy Your video was great! I even sent it to a friend of mine to watch. Thank you
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy i h8 to ask dealing with similar life issues. wjat wwas your change?
Thank u for the lesson! I think imma go buy this after work at target
4 shot? Lady your gona be up for a while huh,lol I got one at a estate sale giving it to my sister
I got one as gift but I need to know how to use it I love cappechino n latta .
😋 gonna have go Walmart get me one thanks I seen so many bad reviews on amazon
So frothing depends on the build up from making the coffee. It's not it's own water dispensing pressure. Separate from coffee.
Thank you. That's all I needed
Love it. THx for sharing. At the end that's the perfect recipe for diabetes
Yes. I understand your opinion. We are all different and take our own path.
thank you so much!!! we were so confused but your video helped so much 👍🏼
Good deal. Love light and blessings to you and your loved ones.
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy thank you, you as well💛
My frother on the side won’t say put. It launches back to original position
Hi, Great video! Is there a way where you can just skip the steam once in a while, or do you always have to use steam before next use?
It's really up to you. I just liked to keep it as clean as possible so I clean the steamer in the end after each use. If you don't use milk with the steamer it's no problem Just open it to let out extra water pressure. I hope I understood your question. I apologize if I answered wrong. I cut almost all sugar out of my diet. I only use Stevia now. I like the French Press coffee makers now.
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy Hi, thx. Actually I was just wondering if I can just not release the steam before my next cup? Wondering if the pressure will go down on its own after an hour or so. Or is it a must do for safety. Thx again for the reply
@@danielvitolo2595 I'd like to know too. 🤔❤
Thank you 🙏🏽 Namaste!
Just purchased. Let me try this out 👍
Thanks Cindy!! 💜
U just made me want to return this machine from how hard this seemed I just wanted to make a Carmel frappe
I understand. Everyone is different. I didn't learn my preferred method overnight. I love Starbucks but I'd rather load my crypto bags than spend 100 a month on Starbucks. Happy New Years.
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy I only bought it to make a Carmel latte I like that sweet can you make a video of how to make that before I hurt myself trying everyone saying it can explode if u do it wrong thanks for replying !!
@@happygirl2667 I don't think this will explode. My mom has been using this for 5 years. Just make sure you close the lid or it will boil over. It is super easy, just grid your beans, put them in the metal filter, tamp the grounds, put the filter where it goes. Put water in the top where it goes and make turn it on.
It will be better to buy a milk steaming pitcher for under 10 on Amazon. You don't need to even move the pitcher all around like that. Just tilt it and create a vortex and the milk will froth that way. You could also heat your milk in the microwave in a Pyrex cup, then get a handheld frother and froth your milk that way. I like to do it with the Pyrex and hand held after trying it so many different ways. People will argue that its not true espresso, or whatever but if you like how it tastes then that is all that matters. It's not like you're opening a coffee shop with a Mr Coffee espresso maker.
Green scratch pads work wonders for that scorched milk on the steam bar
Excellent recommendation. I will do that.
Honey :( that's medium coarse at best. And bless your heart, that tamper.
Haaahaa
Like a beast
Great Vid! Really helped
I'm glad. I hope you have Stellat holidays and you and your loved ones are doing well.
Hi!
I got this machine secondhand and it didn’t come with the carafe booo. Could you tell me the water measurements?? I can’t find the information anywhere online. Thanks so much! Loved your video :)
If you want a large cup full as I do it it is about one cup.
If you want it more like a shot of espresso try half a cup.
Thank you mucho! I’ll try that!
Thank tou for this!
Thank you. Hope everything is well for you and your loved ones. ✌❤
What kind of coffee is best to use?
Whatever you love best. I love Sumatra the most.
Does the machine automatically stop at the 4 shot mark
If you fill the water to the fourth water mark it will go to high pressure for the steamer before hitting the fourth mark as it is filling up. In the past, I filled it higher than the fourth mark and would turn on the steamer when the pressure was high and when the coffee was coming up to the fourth mark. I tend to not do the fourth mark now. I also don't use the goofy Hershey stuff anymore. I now use dry milk mixed with organic non-GMO cinnamon, cloves, and vanilla extract.
Froth is not working at all for me. Been trying for hours. It’s jumping and bubbling out of mug, onto wall, and burning me. Using almond milk. And why doesn’t this thing come with the frothing cup
I had trouble frothing Almond Milk with the coffee. I have trouble with coffee now because of the acidic nature. I need to be higher alkaline. I drink a lot of tea all day now.
If I remember correctly skim milk worked the best. If you have dairy issues you could try lactose free. Just pay attention to your rractions after drinking it.
I'm sorry. I wish I had talked about that but it took me a while to learn it based on illnesses, symptom tracking and modifying my diet the last three years. I take no meds now. I was on a lot approximately three years ago based on all the things I was informed I had by the doctors and psychiatrists. I beleive I was on about eight medications daily. This is when I realized the meds just covered uo my symptoms rather than me waking the fu(k up and figuring out where the problems arised from. I can't take hardly any dairy. My nose just runs and my lungs get horrific. I also don't eat any gluten because it causes pollups in my intestines. I will eat a little corn in chips but only if they are non gmo and gluten free.
You could try mixing some water in with the almond milk. That might work if you try half almomd milk and half water. I only drink filtered water.
Sorry for the delayed reply. I don't youtube as much and I am trying to not use social media as much.
You can use any cup to froth. Larger bottom cups work the best for me.
Thank you now I know what to do
Please, my can traved and I can’t open!!! It was hard. I can solve this?
Thanks Cindy!
Thank you. ✌❤
Great
I just bought the $39.99 version, like that one but different look.. have not used it yet. quick question.. you just made 4 shots, would it still taste good if you made 4 more shots using the same coffee that is in there? or to make a 2nd drink would you need to change out the coffee and put 4 more shots worth in there?
You can do either. The benefit to fresh ground coffee and brewing then drinking it within 20 minutes is that it gives you a huge antioxidant boost. You can reuse the same grounds. You will still get caffeine if it's not caffeine free coffee, but no antioxidants. It will be weaker tasting.
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy thank you, I plan on making iced caramel latte's like the caramel craze from Duncan Donuts.. I get one of them dang near every morning LOL this thing will save me alot of money lol
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy Just made my first drink.. I did end up making 4 shots, with pretty much 2 scoops of coffee, and made my GF one as well and used fresh coffee for the second as well. It's SO damn good.. it tastes JUST LIKE the caramel craze ice latte when ordered with extra expresso shot. To make just add some caramel to the bottom of the cup, make the 4 shots, pour in the cup, and I have a milk frother hand thing, like it for iced drinks cause it does not use steam just vibration.. put some sugar in it.. mix it with the frother, add a cup of milk, use the frother again, put some ice in it.. put some whipped cream, top it with some more caramel and a little bit of cinnamon.. MM MMMM GOOD!
@@GhostWritersParanormalPortalGood! Good for you and your gf.
I didn't hardly drink coffe until I was 22. I've been addicted to it ever since. I'm old. That was 1992. LOL I don't use the machine much anymore. I just do fresh brew. I do run an extra cup of water through and store coffee in old bottles so I have my own cold brew coffee ready to drink or take with me when I'm on the go. I'm still adficted to coffee. Crypto is my newest addiction. LMAO
Sending peace, love and light to you and your loved ones.
Thank you so much.
In an alternate universe she never plugged in the cable n we are all still waiting for the coffee to brew
Thank youuuuuuu
4:15 sounds like jeepers creepers dying lol
Cuban coffe La llave is good
Nicely done!
Mm, the Nespresso machines produce a massive natural crema. Can a filter pump press do this? There seems to be 0 natural crema here; the only froth is from the milk
I'm not sure what you mean. I'm sorry.
@@CoffeeTimewithCindy I thanx
I meant I don't think filter pump coffees can produce the foam layer - from the coffee itself alone (without the milk)
@@netweed09 I see.
This one doesn't produce any natural crema. It just makes strong coffee. Basically a strong drip coffee maker with a "steaming wand"
this also doesn't have a pump, so no pressure at all.
to steam and froth milk do you have to have water in the machine?
Yes. Pretty sure you do.
I mean, I don't know of any other way to produce steam than boiling water...
That's some watery espresso. . .
Your face looks like watery espresso. . .
How long does it take for tje water to start coming out? I got one this morning and it dod its first clean cycle fine but now it seems to not be heating up at all
thats not ground fine enough and it should be almost level with the cup, if its not ground enough it wont extract as good.
Thanks for the feedback. We all do it differently. Peace. ✌
I lost the water measuring cup, do you know how many ounces of water per cup of espresso is?
Between six and eight. It depends on what the glass container and water well will hold and how strong you want your coffee ☕.
Coffee Time with Cindy Ah, thanks
I thought you were suppose to keep the cap off the milk steamer....
They are listed as a "Frothing Aid". It may work better without the black steamer wand cover, especially if the "Frothing Aid" black steamer cover is plastic. The rubber steamer tip cover works way better than the plastic one for me. I've had two models.
I bet that would be best if you want steamed milk.
This is not espresso I believe. Still looks interesting though
Yeah. I understand. We are all different. I lived many places and even the same English language varies in different locations. I even lived in Heidelberg Germany 🇩🇪 for a while. I drink my coffee different now. I cut out sugar and sugar stuff.
Plastic cap on the steam outlet should be removed. It’s not food grade anyway so it will have health issue under high temperature.
I hate rhe plastic one. I like the rubber feeling ones. Are they okay?
Is the steamer supposed to heat up the milk?
Yes, the steamer heats up the milk as you froth it after pressure has built up The more milk you use the longer you'll need to froth
Okay thank you. Unfortunately I think the steamer on my new one is broken. Its froths but that's it
Just bought Mr. Coffee machine at Wal-mart for $40 and the frothing just ain't happening for me. You must have more expensive machine. I even have same frothing cup as you and all i get is hot milk and a few bubbles, but once I pour coffee over that, I have zero froth or anything white on top of my coffee. I can't keep going to Starbucks.
Watch this video, there is an art to frothing milk - th-cam.com/video/0vD--H7poxU/w-d-xo.html - PM
I got a machine today but it doesn't seem like the frother works very well. The hole is like a pin needle. Am I doing something wrong?
Make sure the lid is on tight or you won't get enough pressure. - PM
Good video. Thanks
Thank you. Hope all is well for you and your loved ones!!
