Product Reviews
 (3 stars) - Mr. Coffee ECM20 Steam Espresso Maker
Mr. Coffee ECM20 Steam Espresso Maker is OK, but the new models are much better preform quicker and all for the same price.
 (1 stars) - A disappointment
I have owned several Mr. Coffee latte machines - but this one is difficult to operate with the smooth knobs - inadequate water storage. I miss my old Mr. Coffee which I do not believe they make anymore.
(1 stars) - Poor Design
Okay! Let me start by telling you this is my second one. I love the way it brews my espresso but....the handle breaks off. This latest unit lasted 8 months before the black handle attached to the brewing basket snapped off. What a mess. It's practically impossibe to use without the handle. I am not using brute force either. It's ridiculous how much I have babied this appliance. I'll sum it up as poor design!
(3 stars) - Doesn't last very long
I've had 3 of these in the last 3 years. The average lifetime of this machine seems to be one year. Something or the other will fail. On one of them, steam started leaking from the top and the control knob broke on another. Too bad because I really liked the cappuccino it makes. I'm from southern India and it made great South Indian Coffee. Maybe I'll get another one with the expectation that it will only last one year.
 (4 stars) - You will get what you pay for!
Iv'e owned this unit for over six years and it still works great. The seal on the lid still holds steam unlike other espresso machines that fail after a few years. This is not a professional unit that will produce the best espresso, however, this machine contains no pumps that could potentially fail. This unit simply and reliably makes OK espresso. If you are looking for a durable and reliable espresso machine, this is it. For you Baristas, do not expect amazing espresso.
Tips:
1.To get thing thing to work well, build up sufficient pressure and steam by steaming your milk first.
2.After you have steamed your milk, turn the valve on the left to the espresso setting and let the bad boy do its thing.
3.Grind your coffee grounds very fine and be patient, as this is not a pump unit. To make good espresso, do not make more than two shots at a time.
I use this unit every day to get jacked-up for work in the Military, it can work for you too! Enjoy!
