[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this coffe maker to make better coffe at home. This can do it all! I love that i can do my iced coffe or hot coffe easily. The milk frother is great also. I have all the fancy coffe i can drink now. I love the tumbler that it comes with and it fits my other cup easily too. Its perfect!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Mr Cofffee Latte Maker is great! You can make hot or cold drinks at the push of a button. It really is that simple. The difficult part is the foam layering. There is a learning curve, but it wasn’t too bad for a first try.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I own alot of kitchen gadgets (pretty sure my husband is going to disown me soon) but this one is amazing.... it takes a total of 5 minutes to make my favorite coffee drink (iced white chocolate mocha) and it comes out just like my local coffee shops...if not better. Super impressed with the quality and ease of use. I save so much money not driving to the coffee shop every day to get my favorite drink! I love it!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions for how to setup and use this machine are simple and easy! There are so many options as far as what type of drink you want to make. There’s hot brew if you want a hot coffee and cold brew if you would like it over ice!!! You can make cold foam or a frothy drink if you want! I love iced coffee and cold brew and it saves me so much money because my drinks come out just as good as me purchasing an iced coffee…if not better ! I have tried so many recipes with this machine and so far so good! I would recommend this to everyone!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mother always used a Mr. Coffee 12 cup coffee maker when I was growing up. I bought my own in college that lasted almost until my senior year (through many sleepless study nights and pretty much constant use between my 3 roommates and myself). I bought another Mr. Coffee maker when I moved out on my own that lasted me well into adulthood until my late 20s when I became a bit more sensitive to caffeine and decided a french press better suited my needs (because I'm the only one in our household that drinks coffee). All this to say, I’m no stranger to this product line. I was very excited to try this latte lux machine out - it’s the first of it’s kind from the Mr. Coffee line that I’m aware of.
Pros: Absolutely perfect for a single-person coffee drinking household. My partner doesn’t drink coffee so it’s great for just me. Brew time is quick! I haven’t timed it exactly but it maybe takes a minute or two after you’ve filled the water reservoir and coffee filter for it to make you a cup. Fits small-medium sized travel tumblers (I have a 16 oz hydroflask that fits perfectly underneath the coffee maker - see pic) I opted for the lux version because it had the buttons to automatically froth to your liking (latte, cappuccino, cold foam). This is a great feature because I can make coffee in a travel tumbler and it’ll heat up/froth the milk at the same time. When it’s done, I can just pour the milk in and quickly make a latte/cappuccino to have on the go. Personally, I think it makes everything to a great temperature. I have a sensitive baby mouth so I don’t like scalding hot drinks. The temperature is perfect for me - I can start drinking it immediately after it’s made and it’s just warm enough. I love that the catch tray on the bottom is completely removable, as well as the latte maker and brew baskets. This makes it really easy to clean.
Cons: The temperature this coffee maker makes the coffee/milk at may be too cold, depending on your preference. I’m not a scalding hot coffee drinker but if that’s how you like your coffee, this will probably make it too cold for your liking. I can’t have a lot of dairy so I usually use almond milk which has been very hit/miss when it comes to making foamy lattes. There seems to be inconsistencies with how much milk is added and how frothy the latte will get. I’ve used almond milk and ended up with a pretty sad latte (no froth, just a few bubbles + warm milk) but then done it again and the froth looks like something straight from a cafe (so frothy!) Not sure why that is. I do enjoy the frothiness but haven’t quite figured out how to consistently make it everytime. That being said, the instruction manual of the machine does explicitly say almond milk isn’t the best medium for a frothy latte/cappuccino. If you use regular milk, especially whole milk, or even oat milk, this probably won’t be an issue. I’m just a diehard almond milk drinker. I love that this doesn’t need any fancy/expensive cups (like keurig or nespresso) but it does use quite a bit of coffee for each brew. It’s a harty scoop and ½ for just a small amount of coffee for a latte (more for a serving of iced coffee). I’ve been using this daily with Folgers (reg/decaf) and that’s honestly what I would recommend using with how much coffee grounds this machine needs, unless you want more of a treat or can afford to waste higher quality coffee. I’ve included a pic of how many grounds were used for 4oz of coffee for a latte. Going back to my first pro, this machine is great if you’re the only one using it. It’s not really great for accommodating multiple people. It’s definitely a single-serve drink maker.
Overall I really like this product and think the price point is fair for what you get. I’ve really been enjoying my morning lattes with this and have even started doing decaf pumpkin pie lattes as an evening fall treat. It’s not the fanciest thing on the market in terms of machines like this but for what it does for the price, this is perfect.
I’m definitely considering getting my elderly mother one of these so she can make lattes at home (it’s so easy to use, I don’t think she’ll have any trouble figuring it out). I would also highly recommend this as a new-grad gift (they’ll be able to enjoy regular coffee, iced coffee, and lattes/cappuccinos from this when they need a pick-me-up to study).
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Mr. Coffee 4-in-1 Single Serve Coffee - Latte Lux machine is fool proof. This will save us so much money at the drive thru coffee places as we can make our own iced and fancy coffee in no time at home. The single serve hot brew is a one button push and I love the fact that it uses a basket for bulk coffee grounds and not the pods that are filling up our landfills. Bulk coffee is so much more affordable also. The tumbler has a very nice screw on lid with a gasket that keeps you from spilling anything and we all love iced coffee through out the day. The milk frother is so easy to use as well. Very clear instructions and super easy clean up. Our family now can save money and time as this brews quite fast . Very attractive machine that sits nicely out of your way when not in use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee maker comes with a plastic tumbler and straw that measures your water and how much ice you need for a iced beverage. It also comes with a double sided measuring spoon that measures for both hot and cold coffee. On the side of the machine there is a special place to pop in the spoon for storage. The machine conveniently comes with a reusable coffee filter that is dishwasher safe. The machines manual comes with instructions on how to make cold and hot coffees, latees, and cappuccinos. Next to the maker itself is a frother machine that is able to make hot and cold froth. There are four simple buttons on the machine to keep it easy to use. Hot brew, cold brew, hot froth, cold froth, all located on the flat surface of the machine. This coffee maker is so convenient for our 3 am mornings. We absolutely love all of the options and that we are able to make ourselves what we would each prefer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine does it all while still being compact in size! I love the fact that I can put ground coffee in it rather than using K-cups. It always tastes better with the real thing! This is easy to use and easy to clean!
