- A quick how to use Mr Coffee steam Espresso & Cappuccino maker.
This is how to make espresso.
For the devoted espresso lover, this espresso maker combines Old World tradition with the dedicated ritual. Pressure steam brews espresso with rich crema and robust flavor for authentic taste.
I saw that some people said that they couldn't get any steam to come out. I learned that it is best to use the steamer right when the coffee starts to come out. Once you see the coffee dripping into the pot turn it off, put your cup of milk or almond milk under the steamer then turn on the steamer. Once you got your milk just right then continue brewing. If you wait until the brewing is done you may not have enough steam to use. Try this and if it doesn't work take it back to where you got it and get a new one. I hope this helps.
Barbara Clay thank you!
@@MyMyMy69 You're Welcome☺
Congrats you just posted what the instruction booklet says to do.
@@user-op8pf3uf8s Thank You Captain Obvious.. FYI I'm vision impaired so reading a booklet with tiny print is not my strength. With a lot of things I have to learn by doing and here I just shared what I learned. Yes it's in the booklet but everyone learns differently. That is why UA-cam and thousands of books on the same subject exists in the first place. So thank you for your congratulations. I must be doing something right😁
@j c Also as someone who got this machine second hand without the booklet, her comment was really helpful.
You are a life saver bro!! I read the instructions a few times and was still lost. You literally made it so much easier. Please continue making videos like this. We appreciate you man!!
Glad I could help
I bought mine two+ years ago and haven't used it in so long I couldn't remember how to use it. Lol. 😅
I thrifted one of these for $3, thanks for helping me figure out how to use it!
Got this as a gift and I use it at least twice a day. I use the steam wand at 3/4 completion and still have enough to clean off the heavy cream by steaming in a cup of water, no mess.
My mom's been nagging me to use my espresso machine since I got it on Christmas , and this helped me a lot. Thanks for the info!!!
was it bitter?
@@candy5742 Well, yeah, but there's no helping that, I suppose. It definitely does it's job though
Thanks! Very helpful! New to being an adult lol
Same
hows it going for you now

Just made my first espresso lol
Easy ........ Straight to the Point ......... PERFECT ....... Thank you !! Great Video !!
2 things. I've used these for 30 years. First, I like the taste from THESE kinds of machines over the "real" 20 bar espresso machines. I have both. Plus you can brew 4 SHOTS with this, not "cups', whereas the "real" machines only brew 2 SHOTS. Second, with these cheaper steam espresso machines, you DO NOT want to pack and tamp the coffee. Just fill to the line, give a few taps to SETTLE it, not tamp it, and you will get a superior brew, less bitter.
Bruh you are a life saver.. my box had nooo instructions 🤣🤣🤣 thank you so much
Thank you for this, a coworker just gave me one of these with the instructions but your tutorial is so much easier!!!
Great job... you couldn’t of explained it any easier thank you
Thank you! We just bought this and had no idea how to use! Very helpful!
Awesome congrats and enjoy! I really enjoy the machine works great. Thanks for watching Please Subscribe To The Channel If You Haven't Already Done So - Thank You!
I was on a walk and I found one of these on the side of the road can’t wait to test it out!
Did it worked??

First I wanna thank you for a reasonable video for instructions. You didn't take 10 mins to introduce the product and another 15 mins explaining why you decided to make the video. But I do wanna mention that you said "this is the secret ingredient" but never demonstrated how the secret ingredient is used. Thank you again Sir
When I saw the Cafe Bustelo, I knew this channel has good taste XD. That's my fav coffee brand!
Thank you! Nothing can compare.
Just a dad on here said to unplug the machine to release the pressure, this was easier and less stressful to watch.
You didn't show how to froth the milk That's what I'm having a hard time doing. 😅
He sounds like if Garth from waynes world was southern
A shame there is no segment showing the frothing milk steaming for capuchino
That's how the instructions tell you to make it.
However anything that runs through the grounds after about 25 seconds is cooked and over extracted. It's bitter, washy, weak..
Better to turn the unit half way to steam to preheat and pressure up. Steam your milk first then run as fine of a grind as you can get and pack it lightly. You can also run a 51mm filter paper in the bottom of the basket.
Turn the handle to brew and count or time the run of the coffee for 27 seconds max. You should have about 2 oz of espresso. You don't get 4 "cups" from the dose that basket holds even though it says 4. You want to use about 17 grams of coffee and get about 34 grams of coffee.
Espresso is "shots" not cups.
Also you might want to get some fresh whole bean coffee and grind it fresh right before you make the shot.
That canned coffee has an expiration date not a roast date. It could be months or years old. It will not make a good shot.
I have this machine and used it like you did here for years before I figured out what was going wrong.
You also have to clean every part of the basket, holder and head up inside where the water comes out. Any grounds or old coffee inside will ruin your shot. Stale rancid coffee oils in your grinder or coffee hopper will also ruin your coffee. You have to clean everything with steam NO DETERGENT. Even soak your basket and holder in water.
This maker will never make a shot like a real machine with a pump but you can get a decent cup if you do all the things above.
Try tasting the first 20 seconds of run then put a second cup to catch the 20 to 30 seconds of flow. That first 25 seconds is the best. After 25 it gets terrible fast. Try it and you will see.
I thought I was making mine wrong since I wasn't getting any crema during my extraction. Thanks for those tips, I'll have to try the setting halfway to steam. I've noticed on my unit that I can set it to steam/brew, but not open the valve by turning the knob just barely enough to get the light indicator on the front to light up. Might be worth a try to have it heat up for a few minutes like that before switching to brew.
@@xXWhatzUpH8erzXx not sure if you saw my video but I did try to show how to preheat and pressure the system before making the shot. ua-cam.com/video/jaJjbN6AnVs/v-deo.html
I think the comment was a response to my comment on the video above.
@@seetheforest Just watched that one, I'll have to try that!
Thank you soooo much. I got one at goodwill BRAND NEW for $10 :) no instructions of course so this helped :)
Awesome thanks for sharing! Glad you found it helpful.
I CRINGE so hard when people say expresso instead of espresso
Hahaha I work at Dunkin’ I hear that all the time! People just tryna sound fancier🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Amen!!!
Yeah I get it, but some people really just don’t know in their defense lol. So just kindly correct them 😌
Have to have 2 cups a day, no sugar. Once you get use to drinking espresso, regular coffee will taste like watered down crap. Use to go to these Cuban places and get a coloda, cost between $1.25 to $2.00. I bought an expresso maker to save money, which you do, and convenience. Buy one of the name brands of coffee, if you buy one of the cheap ones, it will taste like crap. Never, never buy a store brand.
I agree but mine was bitter
Honestly I use Bustelo in my DeLonghi and it comes out really good I just can't Tamp them too hard because the water won't flow through but I have to disagree I think that if you buy a better espresso machine and you figure out how to Tamp the beans that you purchase the right way you end up getting good coffee as long as you're 15 bars of pressure I don't think this machine has enough pressure to make a good decent cup of espresso this is just making really strong coffee
How do you deep clean this? Every time I make a drink it has a metallic taste
This is why I love youtube. Thanks bro
Hello thanks for watching. I’m glad you found it useful.
I’ve used this expresso maker many times and it just doesn’t last and it can’t handle finely ground coffee. What’s more is that this machine has the LOWEST bar pressure of all expresso machines I’ve researched-3 bar pressure. Most expresso machines are 5-15 bar pressure. This is why the machine does not last.
I needed this explanatory video! Thank you!!!☕
Thanks for sharing. Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful.
quick and straight to the point. Thanks
Just an fyi, if you press coffee down it doesn’t brew properly. Doesnt allow air to travel through and you don’t allow all the grounds to be
I was compressing the coffee it’s part of the tamping process. Tamping plays a crucial role by compacting the coffee grounds into a uniformly distributed puck. When hot water is pressurized to pass through the coffee grounds during extraction, it naturally follows the route of least resistance. Thus, it is essential to guarantee a thorough and even tamping to achieve a successful extraction.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Mine isn’t as hot as a brewed coffee, I mean its hot but not hot like coffee should be. Is my machine defective? Is all your machines brewing hot hot espresso?
It's actually espresso, expresso is a fast train in Milan.
I love the name of the channel. Aretty Pwesome
Thank you!
Dude so mine has been on for the first brew for 18 minutes and zero has happened. 🤔 Did I do something wrong I did exactly what you did.
How do you use the milk wand?
Thanks, Woody Harrelson
I had one of these given to me, but it was missing that lil glass pot underneath- about how many US cups do you think it holds? So I know how much water to add
A lot of the water is lost to steam while brewing. I think you can measure out in whatever vessel your brewing into and you’ll never go over. It’s probably about 1 cup for 4 shots though
thank you! very helpful :-)
Cap on mine doesn’t want to go on straight
you didnt even use the frother!
Maybe he was makin some iced coffee, but I see what u mean cuz this is a review of the product...
The video was very educational but, nothing about frothing the milk to pure over coffee!
That's a latte
Where do u buy the sugar? What brand is it? Thanks
You dont ever pack your coffee as tightly as you can, your pull will be diluted. Your setup doesnt come with a tamper, but you can "lightly" pack the coffee grind in with the scoop never "tightly" unless you have an infuser build into the system (which this one doesn't) even then not the best idea.
jrzyxE I found that a small votive candle glass is perfect.
I'm really not trying to sound like a snob but I don't think it's possible to get good espresso out of this machine no matter what you do
@@angelinagiovinazzi766 Its not the worst but its not great
Man I was so excited to see you use the milk thingies, but you didn't
No crema
Thank you!!
Thanks, really helpful!
Can you use other ground coffee instead of bustelo?
Sure you can! I enjoy the flavors.
Thanks a bunch 😋 ☕🍰🌄
Don't release your pressure until after turning brew knob off and unplugging it you are running the steam. Just an fyi. Also, this unit takes FOREVER TO pull 4 shots of espresso. The steamer takes more than 3 minutes to heat the milk. It's a really annoying and slow machine. I was spoiled and had a d'longhi. (Sp.?) After the pandemic couldn't afford another after my original went on the fritz. That machine put it 2 10 oz. Lattes with 6 shots a piece in less than 10 minutes. These were Starbucks caliber drinks. I used to work at a coffee shop as a barista. I literally hate this machine but can't work now. So yeah. Beggers can't be choosers. ~toofles!
Does the 4 cup mean... 4 shots of Espresso?
Yes
Great Video Thanks
Very helpful, thanks
I had 2. Wish i bought 3. Bought more expensive pressure machine and i hate it.
What did you do about the plastic taste? Mine has an awful plastic taste
Hello I didn’t notice any plastic taste. I cleaned it prior to using with white distilled vinegar. Thank you for watching.
That's not espresso that's coffee. There's absolutely no Crema on there. You need to go back and learn how to make espresso. I bought this machine also and the only thing it's good for is making coffee.
Square Hammer I was noticed that! Having had Italian espresso for 2 week dunno if I want imitation
The can says Expresso u moron
We’re you ever able to pull a nice actual shot of espresso by using this machine?
@@KGotSlimes never once
Thank you!
help i can’t get the handle off
What is this thing ? An EXPRESSO machine ????
espresso not expresso
@@sydneysykes4312 u missed my point.
What do you do with that little lever on the side?
That's the steam wand
Very helpful
Gracias!
Some teach this guy how to make espresso. He'll bless u :D
How is it holding up 2 years later?
Can you just make flat out coffee. Not an espresso or anything else just coffee? Im looking to buy it if it makes coffee as well..
Mine came with a ceramic mug
Dude you can’t go wrong go wrong with Cafe Bustelo and Demerara sugar!
Hello thanks for watching. It’s good stuff.
@@how2af263 it's the only thing I'll drink at home. Been hooked since the late 90s.
Why isn’t my milk frothing
All you so called espresso buffs have failed to notice this is a moka maker.
Thank u I just got mine but I filled it up to 4 cups but it’s only made 2 and it was so slow am I doing something wrong?
Wilbur Nickle mine too! Pleaseeeee advise !
You're tamping it too hard; this means the coffee grounds are packed too hard so the water is passing through a lot slower than it should.
I don't know if you still need help your comment is a year old but you're most likely packing way too much coffee grinds in the portafilter also this machine looks like it takes a while to build up the pressure need it to make expresso I don't think it has enough pressure honestly to really make espresso
café bustelo
that can of coffe is probably more expensive than the coffee maker
Where do you live? Here in NY you can find it pretty cheap, and in PR it is basically the least preferred brand (favorites are Yaucono, Oro, Lares and Crema, for example)
I think I was confused I saw bustelo Supreme that is the expensive one
I just got mine, and have used it three times and my coffee keeps tasting burnt. Any suggestions?
Clean it
denise lopez your tastebuds just need to mature up
I would return this espresso maker to the store immediately and purchase something for at least $100 this machine doesn't have enough pressure to make good espresso and that's why it's bitter
Need a better espresso machine
@@codykyle8018 i agree
Looks like coffee not espresso coming out
You burned the coffee
WE CANT SEE THE TOP
If you do tamp the grounds don't tamp them too hard or your shit will come out too bitter
Ew why you tasting your shit
Is that a Flat Black?
What was the secret ingredient in the plastic?
Much Dutch It’s coarse brown sugar
Sugar is a stupid ingredient,you don't know crap about coffee.
Much Dutch sugar. raw cane sugar, or turbinado sugar to me exact. doesn’t confuse it with coarse brown sugar, brown sugar is a lot more wet.
Ronald gambino oh god, a coffee shop! How pretentious!
People are such assholes.
If this video didn't teach you what you needed, move on and watch another.
Once you've learned everything there is about making espresso, post your own video for the world to review.
Craig Tube try out the coffee called Death Wish it's the strongest coffee made. Not in stores you can find it on Amazon.
Lisa Thompson they sell it at Walmart lol
I can't get any water to pass through unless it's in the off position. What am I doing wrong?
Cafe Bustelo is the strongest shit on earth.
Nahhhh lol i got this columbian shit from a Spanish grocery store.... its like drinking liquid crack
@@fishingstix610 omg I woke my whole house from laughing so hard at that
Oh my
how much would the 4 on the carafe be in oz
I believe the 4 is for cups or shots so approximately 32 fluid ounces.
@@how2af263 thank you
@@how2af263 it cant be because a doppio (double) shot is 36 oz
Did Woody Harrelson get a Mr coffee?
Hello thanks for watching!
How do you use steam wand without having a milk explosion????
Jaheira start at the bottom slowly bring it up and tilt it
That’s what we did when I worked at Starbucks but the instructions say not to do that. Maybe I’ll ignore them and do it anyway.
This doesn't even seem like true espresso, just a drip style with a Porta filter.
It's a steam machine.
Not a pump
It's basicly a moka on steroids
Nice video! How to cleaning the water tank in this machine?
Let it dry out or use some descaler acid like for Keurig its liquid citric acid.
Can you use vinegar & water mixed to clean it??
@@Nat-nc5mi Yes but it's not very effective. You can also use water mixed with lemon juice (citric acid). However It's better to buy especially designed products for this purpose, and do it at least once every 200 uses.
I think it makes "Americano", not Expresso. No Creama!
I work at a coffee shop and an americano is literally adding expresso ontop of water. So this comment made ZERO sense.🤦♂️
@@maximocastellano9894 it’s espresso not expresso
Somebody know how many bar pressure has ?
Steam coffee machines like this one in the video produces less than 5 bar, 5 bar being overly optimistic (depending on how well constructed the machine is) generally between 2 or 3 bar. That's why they produce little to no cream at all. If you want a real espresso you have to go higher than constant 9 bar. Most "pump" espresso machines produce at least 15 bar.
@@crasheba1533 thanks! Actually I have some Oster OEMP50 and works pretty fine!
Too much water.. that’s coffee. To make espresso you have to put 2 cups of water and 4 scoops of your choice of espresso. If you want Cuban espresso, 2 1/2 table spoons of sugar to make espumita. Let the first drip of coffee hit the sugar and mix it till it’s a creamy paste. Then mix in the espresso! You’ll taste the difference.
Lol,couldn’t read the secret ingredient.
It's Florida natural cane sugar!!! Looked yummy
280k people are too dumb to read the instructions including me 😆😆😅
Mine didn’t come with any! Half the espresso machines were cut open.
Mine doesn't come out that dark.
MrChittyChad I’m having the same issue. Am I being too stingy with the coffee?
Jose Torres yep!!! Had the same issue. Pack that shit in haha
Craig Tube that did the trick
Jose Torres yep!!! I packed mine in and I’ll probably be up a few hours. I am going to catch up on work. Haha
Doing it wrong, I did too I just figured out how to work that dang thing finally, this guy does it wrong too.
Please for GOD SAKE it's espresso not EXPRESSO
Hi
*Espresso not expresso
Please don't
Technically both are correct. Expresso is the American way and espresso is the Italian way.
adnan e you knew what TF he meant!
Expressno
@@samrayne7348 I live in America. We don't say expresso.
ES. PRESS. SO.
Not EX. PRESS. SO.
Hello thanks for watching. I believe it’s the French thing saying EX. I don’t know if it changes the flavor. But saying ES is very difficult for me to say. I’m glad you found the video. Thanks for sharing I’m practicing daily now with saying “ESPRESSO”.
Best to use ONLY Stainless Steel coffee makers, due to the toxic chemicals emitted into the water; from the plastic inside the maker.
No espuma .no barista.
