Is this a good machine for making lattes or would I be better off looking for something else? Any recommendations?

I got this for a friend for Christmas. And I asked her afterwards if she liked it, she said yes. That it was a good choice and she was satisfied. Sorry if that wasn't specific enough.

It was okay... however I went to a higher end as I love Starbucks and drink them often so we got a Gaggia.

My question for you is why you would want to buy this coffeemaker? It has poor ergonomics and makes a less than mediocre cup of coffee. It would be a terribly disappointing device for half the price they are trying to extort from you. Don't worry about the overpriced filters, find a coffeemaker that will deliver a decent cup of coffee first.

It worked pretty well for an at home machine. We had a different brand that we bought locally and returned it. My granddaughters were happy with the results we got with the Waring pro. Of course it is not as good as a commercial machine. but the price isn't anything like it either.

I see the previous 2 answers and agree, it's not really a coffee machine, it's for espresso or cappuccino... I use 2 shots and fill to the first milk line and that gives me a pretty good amount. Again, it more potent and robust depending on the flavor pod you prefer. Otherwise you need a Keurig or something of this style.... I hope this helps?

It's not a coffee maker. I recommend getting a seperate coffee maker if you want coffee. I make lattes and cappuccinos with this machine all of the time. I like to do two shots of espresso for each of my drinks.

I have been searching for one and have not yet found it. It is a beautiful machine but I did not know what to look for when I bought it. It's Cafe "Americano" is terrible. I just got the "Lungo" and it is better but not great. The Cappuccino is good but very expensive. If I had known more I might have bought something else.By the way, Amazon has most of their coffees shipped free if you have Prime.

It worked great for my coffee. The big problem I had is it ate batteries in like two day. I never used it to mash anything, just to stir coffee and occasionally whip eggs. But it broke after about 10 uses. So, I would look for something a little more reliable, that my opinion. I hope this helps? Thank you

How well the cappucchino taste also heavily depneds on the foam you make. This machine make reasonalby good espresso, but is OK for foam. If you are really into cappucchino/expresso, I would recommend a manual machine like Breville 870. My personal bias, it worths it.

I would say probably not. Have you looked into renting a machine? I worked with one that ground the beans per cup and made coffee, espresso, cappuccino and latte with a touch of a button.

Yes! It's one of my favorite parts about this machine. It takes a few seconds for the pump to get the steam going but it froths & heats milk well. You can even practice latte art :)

I would go with the Breville I have not used that machine but I have had a omega it juices great but the two handles on the side break easily when put back together.

This is an excellent machine. We have not had our machine very long but my wife's friend has had one for several years and she uses it daily. That is why we bought this model. Good luck!

Yes and yes! The only problem we have had with it is the frothing issue I wrote about in my review. We have madeChai lattes with it in the past.

Agreed. I wish I would have bought one much sooner. It works, makes a damn good cup of coffee (especially compared to the Keurig My K-Cup) and you can get a pound of good coffee for $8-10 (obviously less if you're not picky...im picky)

Hi Frank:If, cost and value and taste are your concerns, you will get far more for your dollar with the Mr. Coffee Espresso Maker. With this machine you control the flavor and number of shots. I've had many brands and they typically fail after a short time. Hands down this is the best machine yet and I use it everyday. One tip, grind beans yourself as preground is too fine and will likely block filter.Hope my feedback help! Happy brewing.
