Mr. Coffee Caf � Barista--coffeehouse drinks in one simple touch.
Be Your Own Barista
Go ahead. Indulge. This easy-to-use Caf� Barista espresso maker from Mr. Coffee makes it easy to create coffeehouse-quality espresso drinks just like a professional. Now anyone can enjoy gourmet espresso-based drinks from the comfort of home--no more unnecessary trips to the cafe.
Make a Variety of Coffeehouse Drinks
Effortlessly brew anything from rich aromatic espressos, creamy cappuccinos, and luscious lattes to more decadent variations like toffee lattes, cafe mochas, espresso martinis, and caramel cappuccinos. And that's just the tip of the whipped, frothy topping--a recipe guide loaded with 20 different delightfully delectable recipes comes included.
Convenient & Easy to Use
With user-friendly controls that even a novice can master, the sleek machine makes it easy to brew delicious coffeehouse drinks in minutes--with just one simple touch. The unit's one-touch control panel allows for selecting from a single- or double-shot of espresso, cappuccino, or latte, and handy indicator lights highlight the current selection. Even more, the machine supplies 15 bars of pressure to ensure fabulous results, while its automatic milk frother turns milk into a light, creamy foam--perfect for drizzling with chocolate, sprinkling with cinnamon or nutmeg, or for simply oohing and ahhing over.
To begin, fill the removable water reservoir and slide it into the back of the unit. Then pour the milk of your choice (whole, skim, soy, almond, etc) into the removable milk reservoir, which can be stored in the fridge as needed. Next, place the single- or double-shot filter inside the portafilter, depending on the type and size of your beverage. Add the espresso grounds, tamping them down firmly, and attach the portafilter to the unit.
Position your cup under the brew head and aim the frothed-milk dispensing tube to the center of your cup. If making espresso, the pull-out height-adjustment cup tray can be used for raising up smaller demitasse cups. Next, turn the froth control knob to adjust the froth amount to match your choice of beverage or foam preference. Finally, using the one-touch preset buttons, select your desired beverage and size by pushing the corresponding button. Voila--the Café Barista espresso maker takes care of the rest.
Additional highlights include custom, froth, and clean buttons; a removable drip tray; and a side-mounted on/off switch. Plus, all parts, except for the portafilter, are top-rack dishwasher-safe for quick, convenient cleanup.
The Mr. Coffee Caf � Barista espresso maker works just as well for busy weekday mornings as it does for entertaining guests on the weekend or simply relaxing with a book on a Sunday afternoon. The espresso maker brews one perfect cup after the next. All you need to do is relax and enjoy.

Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Caf � Barista Espresso Maker, Without Free Sample Review
I purchased this from the local Bed, Bath & Beyond since the price in store was the same as that on Amazon($199), but I could use a 20% coupon in the store. This was a 'blind' purchase - I couldn't find reviews for this product anywhere on the net, in fact I seem to the first person reviewing this on Amazon as well.I didn't know what to make of the Mr. Coffee brand (cheap/commodity brand in my opinion, maybe I'm mistaken) and the $199 price tag, but the feature set seemed to be good for the price - a 15 bar pump, a milk frother that automatically dispenses the milk into the serving, espresso/cappuccino/latte at the press of a button and a cleaning cycle for the frother. I've used the machine for a little more than a week now and can confidently say that this is one hell of an espresso machine.
I've tried Illy and Lavazza in the machine so far, and the espresso comes out great - you won't believe the crema you get. Highly recommend it!
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.
Cons:
- none that I've found so far
However, if I could make one change to the machine, it would be the amount of force you have to apply to insert the milk container into the machine (and to take it out). I suspect this has to do with the O-ring in the interface between the machine and the container. Since the container and the interface are all molded from plastic, my fear is that one of them will give sooner or later. Let's hope that Mr. Coffee has tested this extensively.
