How to use Mr Coffee steam Espresso & Cappuccino maker

[@BarbaraClayArtisticsoulwithin]

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.

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 KZbin 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😁

[@CultureCrusader]

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.

[@chinacarter8319]

[@williamprice3929]

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.

[@candy5742]

I agree but mine was bitter

[@angelinagiovinazzi766]

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

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

[@annabrunson5481]

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

[@warhorse2034]

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.

That's the steam wand

[@pmpdx]

I had 2. Wish i bought 3. Bought more expensive pressure machine and i hate it.

[@seetheforest]

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.

[@xXWhatzUpH8erzXx]

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.

[@seetheforest]

@@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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJKtm5WEa6ahjNU I think the comment was a response to my comment on the video above.

[@xXWhatzUpH8erzXx]

@@seetheforest Just watched that one, I'll have to try that!

[@SimpleTheist]

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

[@how2af263]

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.

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.

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

[@ericabowen4935]

[@beccaselman555]

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!

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.
