Looking for a cheap espresso maker? The Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Café Barista is a great choice

Do you just want a machine that costs (way) under a thousand bucks that'll make a tasty latté or cappuccino in the morning, and in so doing save you from supporting your local coffee shop owner's boat payments? If it's the latter, then I humbly recommend this fine little Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Café Barista machine.

It's easy to set up, and if one uses decent ground espresso (for the record, I use Lavazza) it makes excellent coffee drinks with a minimum of fuss. Unless, of course, you're a coffee snob who wouldn't dream of using anything smacking of "automatic" that doesn't involve multiple complex steps, a $300 grinder, manual frothing, a degree in engineering and animal sacrifices.

• 15 Bar Pump Espresso Maker
• One touch control panel allows you to choose from a single or double shot of espresso, cappuccino or latte
• Automatic milk frother turns your favorite milk into a light, creamy foam with ease. Select the froth level you want and the Café Barista does the rest
• Removable milk reservoir is easy to fill and clean. Great for storing leftover milk in the fridge too
• Removable water reservoir is easy to fill and clean and means fewer refills between brews

Do follow the setup instructions carefully, especially with regard to priming the machine the first time. I wanted an espresso maker that was cost effective but didn't feel cheap. I use the cheap cafe bustelo espresso and it tastes great. Though I haven't owned an espresso maker before. I'm taking an accelerated summer class and I need my espresso to study.

I invested in this little beauty -Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Café Barista- and boy am I in love!! It's quick and easy to make my favorite lattes (I have picky taste buds) it is easy to clean and it is too nice of a machine for my mom to even consider throwing the detachable stuff into the dish washer ALSO, most important!

The Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECMP1000 Café Barista stood out from all of the other espresso machines and my amazon prime trial gave me free 2 day shipping!! :D this little baby is special and much nicer than all of those other espresso makers. My favorite feature is how quick and easy it is to make your drink. Practically no mess and no work (except for when you're done). Absolute PERFECTION.
