AMAZING little latte maker... Tastes exactly like Starbucks!!
October 10, 2016
I love this little machine!!! My new favorite kitchen gadget!!! If you use and take care/clean it as instructions suggest, you will have no problem! It brews the espresso and froths the milk flawlessly!!!! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this latte maker for the price! (A plus, should something happen to the carafe, lid, brew basket, froth whisk.... You can purchase replacement parts at Mr Coffee website for a reasonable price) ...if you use Starbucks espresso in your latte... It tastes exactly like the $5+ latte I would purchase at Starbucks regularly!!!! This little gem is a real money saver for any latte lover!! Highly recommend!!!
You will not be disappointed as your wallet and taste buds will thank you!
October 1, 2016
This Latte maker is amazing! I received it as a birthday present and cannot believe how easy the whole process is from start to finish. It is unbelievable how much money I have been spending on Latte's every week and I asked for something that will save me time and money while also allowing me to be the coffee snob that I am. I fill the top with 6tbsp of espresso and the reservoir with the max amount of water. I fill the carafe to the max line with 1% milk and 8 pumps of my favorite Toffee Nut syrup from Starbucks. I press the lever down and let the machine work its magic. Once it's finished, I line my 20oz Contigo coffee cup with caramel syrup and pour the deliciousness into my cup. I then spoon the rest of the foam into the cup and top with more caramel syrup. It tastes exactly like what I used to spend $7-$14 a day on and I mean exactly like it!! I highly recommend this Latte maker to any high end coffee lover. You will not be disappointed as your wallet and taste buds will thank you!
You will never have to stop at a coffee shop again.
August 3, 2016
I bought this as a Father's Day gift. my husband never uses it- why should he when I am - and I quote- so much better at making coffee. Not to worry- I love the drinks it makes too and so I don't mind making his coffee for him one little bit! This machine is fantastic! My son (13) and I use it daily. It's fast. It's easy to use. It is super easy to clean. You combine the ingredients and push a button. That's it. It took about 45 seconds to initially set up. I use it for lattes, white mochas ( white chocolate powder combined with the milk before you heat it. It's amazing) iced drinks ( made the night before and put in the fridge for the morning) and hot cocoa and steamers. I have also used it to make warm milk and honey and warm milk with Macha and melon flavor. I have used it to make warm slim fast shakes. Honestly- it's fun. I hate cooking and pretty much anything related to food prep. i avoid it when at all possible and using this is fun for me so it must be something special! It's worth every dime!
Holy crap, if you like some froth you'll be happy
January 7, 2016
This thing can FROTH. Holy crap, if you like some froth you'll be happy. I have only tried regular 2% milk so far.

It did take some time to figure out how to make stronger coffee, my first attempt was basically coffee flavored milk. My current setup is 4 spoons of espresso roast, slightly less milk than fill line, and slightly more water. It's not going to be like a coffee shop latte which usually consists of a shot or two of espresso but it's not bad. My brother-in-law who lives a few miles away helps himself to a latte whenever he visits.

Nothing about this is dishwasher safe, and the heat + milk combo can make some residue on the bottom, but as long as you rinse it out pretty quickly after poor you should be okay.

Overall, for the price, this is an awesome machine if you like lattes.
Save money, save time, get fancy!
December 7, 2014
I got this to replace my Keurig coffee maker. I was tired of boring straight coffee with cream and sugar and stopped by starbucks every now and then which can get expensive fast. I was worried that this wouldn't brew fast enough but a nice latte takes under 5 minutes once you get the hang of throwing everything in. It gets a wonderful froth going and is great with regular milk or soy milk. I've used almond but that gets quite a bit less froth. Some things to note if you're moving from keurig, there's a little more stuff to clean, the carafe and the lid and the frother need a quick rinse and I usually pull out the coffee filter after using it so it stays clean.

May Not Work Well For All
July 9, 2017
I have found this filter to work very well, with no noticeable grounds winding up in the cup or coffeemaker. However, that could be a function of the coffeemaker and the coffee you use, and so far I have only used it with one coffee brand in my Mr. Coffee 4-cup coffeemaker. It is very easy to clean. I cannot say that this filter will work well in every case, but I think it would be worth a try.
Good fit
April 16, 2017
Works well, fits my Mr Coffee 4 cup - "handle" is however useless as it came unattached and after snapping it in, it just falls down inside, unlike my other filter for full sized coffee pot which only goes down to level with top of filter
Fits great, works well. Worth the purchase price.
May 22, 2016
The only issue I had with this product was that the handle was not attached and was sort of a pain getting it through the small plastic holes. Other than that very minor frustration, it arrived on time, with the new 4 cup Mr. Coffee that it is meant to go with, and the fit is perfect and it works well. Seems fairly sturdy and not having to buy coffee filters is a wonderful plus. I am glad I made the purchase.
this evaluation written by a possible sort-of coffee expert
June 9, 2015
I own a Chemex (the one that looks like a nun when it has both coffee and filter), two Melitta cones (one-serving thingies that make a cup at a time, handy for those who want different coffees), a large French press and a smaller one (because my doctor suggested I drink less coffee), three ibrik (in different sizes), for making those teensie cups of coffee that make you faster than a speeding locomotive and able to jump over tall buildings with a single bound, and a 20-ounce automated Mr Coffee. (I used to have a Cory, too, but it broke.) I also used to have a 20-ounce Mr Coffee that WASN'T automated, for which I bought a mesh basket similar to this one. Of course the old mesh basket doesn't fit the new Mr Coffee, so I ordered this, hoping never again to have to search for UNBLEACHED 4-CUP Mr Coffee filters (which I suspect exist only in theory). Of all these, my favorite is the faster than a locomotive kind, with the French press second, but I read that that filtered is the healthiest, so usually . . .Amazon's description isn't specific about the mesh, but it looks to me very like the one that didn't fit, which reliable sources alleged to be actual gold. If you prefer to pick up a bleached paper filter and dump it in the garbage, give this a skip; but if you put the grounds in your plants or don't mind washing the filter, it's the only way to go.
Works perfectly, replaces hard-to-find paper filters for 4 cup
February 2, 2014
Tried to find this (4 cup) size of coffee filter in an affordable pack of paper filters in two separate supermarkets while shopping. Could not find anything worth the money. Decided to try this filter out, since at the low cost it would be worth it if it worked properly. It works great! The coffee goes out the sides through the mesh of the filter and makes a fine cup of coffee. This will save money in the long run with not having to purchase paper filters.Contrary to another review, I found this filter quick and easy to clean, like in under a minute! Here is how I have found it works well to clean:1. Just tap as much of the used grounds in the filter as you can into the garbage (tap while massaging the outside bottom of the mesh part where the grinds are to loosen the grinds);2. Then wash the filter from the outside in (through the mesh) by rotating as you run it under the faucet, from the bottom to the top;3. Finally, wash the inside of the filter from the plastic bottom up, until the remaining few grinds are washed down the drain in the sink.Main thing is to clean/wash the filter from the bottom up, so the grinds at the bottom will easily be worked up and out.Bottom-line: Not a whole lot to say, well-worth the money at under $6.00 currently!!!
Mr. Coffee Permanent Filter
January 9, 2014
Item is well made, does a good job of filtering and the price and free shipping can't be beat. I ordered a second unit just in case something happens to the first.

Would definitely recomend
January 5, 2017
Over all I have loved this latte maker. It's easy to use, straight forward, and not difficult to clean. It does occasionally stop working which I find frustrating. I do get grounds in almost every cup I make. Which doesn't really bother me, although sometimes it's worse than others.

I did find, to get the milky foamier, you can turn on the foaming part while you add water and coffee grounds and then turn it on to brew the rest of the way. It aggitates the milk a little more to give it more volume. I also tend to like my coffee and lattes strong so I use about 1/3rd of the recommended milk.

I would definitely recomend this coffee maker, it's very tasty and I've made it in such a way I prefer my latte to Starbucks.
I would like to tell everyone about the one flaw that makes ...
February 18, 2016
I would like to tell everyone about the one flaw that makes this a 4 instead of a 5 star product. Aside from this one flaw, everything works great and its very convenient!

The flaw is the water spigot that spits out the hot water into the coffee filter is not designed so well. Or perhaps the cup that holds the filter is not designed well.

What happens every single time when I make coffee is the water flowing out of the spigot hits the side of the filter, and folds it down into itself. This results with the water+coffee grounds overflowing out of the filter and through the hole into the coffee pot, leaving you with tons of ground coffee bits in your coffee. NO BUENO!

The solution to this, is I wet the edge of the coffee filter and fold it under the section of the filter holder where the spigot arm moves across. This section is slightly lower than the rest of the filter holder, so you can fold the edge of the filter over it without losing too much of its height so that the filter is not lifted too much from the bottom.

This usually prevents the rest of the filter from folding in on itself when the water hits the side, because now the filter is stuck to that section and wont fold into itself.

Hopefully that tip helps everyone who purchases that machine, because its very annoying to have ground coffee bits in your coffee!
Good latte, convenient single step use
March 2, 2014
This is a nice machine. It is easy to use with simple directions, and makes a decent cup of latte in one easy step. You just have to add milk to the carafe and coffee and water to the top compartment, press a single button and wait a couple of minutes. It froths the milk and adds the espresso coffee. It turns off when finished. I added a permanent 4 cup filter basket, and this would have been a logical item to come with the coffee maker, as using paper filters is awkward. The water dripper swings out of the way when you open the top and back into place when you close it. The milk froth is a tan color since it is mixed with the coffee, but otherwise, this machine does a credible job with minimal fuss. I just use low fat milk, with no additives, but others seem to like sweeteners or other flavors, which are easy to add. Hard to improve on this design, though it does drip a bit after it's finished and could have had a little catch basin. It is easy enough to wipe clean afterwards, however.
Get his pot. Now.
December 1, 2013
This is not one of those gimmick appliances you;ll use once or twice and put away high up in the cupboard. We use this every day, along with our regular coffee pot. We've gone from struggling to use up a quart of milk before it expires to buying a gallon of milk every 4 or 5 days. It's pretty simple to use, and make delicious lattes. And the process couldn't be simpler. Get some small basket coffee filters (the unit ships with 5.) Move the water arm to the back of the unit and add coffee. Put some water in the reservoir beside the filter (the internal markings are easy to see.) Put the top in place, and add milk (we like 1% because it froths better) and turn it on. The unit brews one or two lattes very quickly. Pour into a cup and enjoy!

Clean up is a bit of a chore since you can't put the pot in the dishwasher, so here's my method. Rinse out the pot a couple of times. Add a squirt of hand soap and fill the pot with hot water. Let it set for a while, then pour out most of the water. Now take a paper towel and wipe out the bottom of the pot and the sides. Rinse it, and set aside to dry. When you're ready for some more (and you will be) repeat the process.

In the evening, we use a dark roast decaf coffee in place of the espresso blend we use in the morning. The Cameron's french roast coffee you can order from Amazon is very good. Two big advantages to drinking lattes: They just taste different than a regular cup of coffee. Better, in my opinion but I still drink straight coffee along with my lattes. And you'll drink a lot more milk, which has to be good for you. Experiment with different syrups. My wife likes hazelnut while I prefer vanilla. Since the syrup goes in your cup, you can each have a different flavor from the same pot.

I see three negatives to this purchase. The pot is a bit of a pain to clean. Not a real problem, just a bit of work. You'll be buying a lot more milk and a lot more coffee. And your local coffee shop will be getting less business from you since you're making your own drinks now. Prices for the unit are all over the map, but you should be able to score one for less than 50 bucks on sale.

The unit looks nice on your counter, and works very well. It appears to be very well built. One tip:. Use water from your refrigerator filter. It'll taste better, and you'll avoid the lime build-up inside the coffee maker. Want a hotter latte? Run the pot on on "heat and froth" first, then flip the switch to "cafe latte" and brew your coffee.
I like it! Broke but was quickly replaced
August 11, 2013
I had written a bad review, because it quit working after 6 months, but I just called Mr. Coffee and they are sending me a new one with no hassle. So paying for shipping or anything. They just needed the number written on the plug prong to be sure it was in warranty and sent me a new one!

I really like the lattee maker and hope the next one lasts longer. Im trying to get more calcium in my diet and my morning latte is a great way to do it. Its not a "real" latte machine, it doesnt make espressso and then mix with steamed milk. But if you use dark blend coffees Its a very close substitute. It does heat and froth the milk.

My biggest complaint is that it doesn't hold very much. My husband and I each want a cup and it wont hold enough water to make decent sized cups. We each get our large mugs about half filled. If I have the time I wait till the water resevoir has about emptied and then put in more water. But its annoying to have to do this. Still, we enjoy these faux lattes and I have loved how great Mr Coffee was when it broke?

Works as expected.
September 11, 2017
Makes a bit of a mess when I empty it by splattering all over because I have to tap the bottom. It manages to hit the wall sometimes, even when the garbage is nearly empty and I can reach down and try to keep it from splattering. Since I use a cloth to do a quick wipe, this is still more environmentally friendly than using paper filters.I give it a rinse and occasionally a good cleaning with a scrub brush, baking soda, and peroxide. It removes the stains and oils that make the coffee taste bitter.

July 14, 2017
The cup is hard to rinse out, since the bottom is solid. It will only hold enough coffee for 4 cups, and my coffee maker is five cups!
Pretty good
February 25, 2017
Working OK ... debated about drilling holes in the bottom for better flow, and using a paper filter inside ... defeating the eco purpose, I know. My elderly mom is the coffee drinker, and she doesn't have the steadiest hands -- so we use a paper filter inside the receptacle, then place this basket on top. No problems with flow either way.
not a perfect fit for a 5-cup machine but works fine
September 8, 2016
This filter works well and is easy to clean - my only complaint is the size, which is my own fault. I was looking for a 5-cup filter and someone indicated in reviews or FAQs that this one should fit, but it doesn't fill up the whole space in the machine. That makes sense because it is only for a 4-cup machine, and it works fine for my purposes because I only put in about 1 scoop (1/8 cup) per 2 cups according to the machine. If you are used to putting 2 scoops per cup, this filter would not likely hold all of the expanded grounds.
Works well
June 13, 2016
I really like this basket for my coffeemaker, however when I brewed my first coffee today, there were some grounds in the carafe. It is still better than the paper coffee filters by a long shot though. It's also easy to cleanand I don't feel like I am wasting paper. I like the handle, it makes it very easy to remove. I noticed that others for sale online did not have the handle so I am glad I went with this one,
Good if you care about trees.
September 25, 2015
Sometimes it takes time to clean, I mean it is evidently slower than just trowing away a paper filter. In this case, the ground coffe is wet and all packed inside the filter, so you have to use a spoon or something to get all the ground coffee out; which may take some precious seconds that could be used in something more productive. The good thing it's that it works really well with the Mr. Coffee DRX5 4-Cup, so I can't really complain about it.

Taste Good But Limited
May 28, 2017
This has pros and cons, so I gave it three stars.

The coffee tastes good--the warmed milk is tasty and frothy, making a quality latte similar to Starbucks. So that's great! The downside though is that it can only make latte, you can't just make regular coffee with this, which is a bummer since you may not always want coffee with so much milk in it (the milk is supposed to fill enough of the carafe to meet the frother. The other, bigger issue is that it takes a lot of coffee to make a small cup of coffee and it isn't even strong coffee, it's a bit weak and milky. It calls for 3 scoops of coffee and lots of milk that just makes one small cup. I've tried changing portions and have it down to 2 scoops and add more water, but it just doesn't brew the coffee like regular coffee. So good for lattes but you'll need lots of coffee and milk and another coffee maker for regular cups of coffee.
It will eventually leak
July 7, 2016
This makes great coffee. The lattes are as good or better then any you can buy at coffee shops. The problem s that the last three machines we have had last not quite a year before they start seriously leaking water all over the counter. I've done everything but take it completely apart to see if I can repair it, but it is constructed in such a way that disassembly is very difficult. Easier just to buy a new one. Not well engineered.
Disappointed
April 21, 2016
This was purchased to replace an approximately 5 year old machine (same product). One day the carafe shattered while I was cleaning it (hand wash, warm soapy water b/c you can't submerge or dishwasher this one). I was devastated, because I love my lattes and this makes them so quickly and easily. So I ordered my replacement (the entire machine, because they don't sell just the carafe) and life went on. Fast forward three months and it's just happened again. On the pitcher I've been using for THREE months. Needless to say, as a working mom of three, I'm uncaffeinated and unhappy about it! I would've given this unit 5 stars but after a three month old pitcher shattering I'm dropping it to 3. And Mr. Coffee customer service has given me the name and number of another company to call because they currently don't have any pitchers in stock to replace it. I refuse to purchase a third latte maker machine so I guess if this other company doesn't have this part, this is the end of the line for me and Mr. Coffee latte maker.
This makes a good latte. The 2000 reviews don't lie
September 28, 2015
This makes a good latte. The 2000 reviews don't lie. BUT, the "whisk" that makes the milk into foam is very fragile, it's part plastic and cracks easily. We've broken and replaced it 4 times in a year. We're not rough with it, but the part is thin plastic and it's obviously poorly designed. There's no reason they couldn't make the whole piece metal and avoid this problem.
FANTASTIC MACHINE HERE !! BUT>>> ((update 12/25/2016))
December 7, 2013
OH MY THIS IS DELICIOUS !! I used half and half...frothed right up too...used a dark ground espresso blend which I ground fresh from Starbucks.... Sure beats my old coffee maker now....Easy to set up, light, solid, small foot print, comes with a few filters and quick start guide (no wasting time on this baby) - is so quiet. I added a bit of flavored syrup in vanilla and YUM. That comes out very hot and light, frothy and a nice change any way you taste it. Arrived on time of course with Amazon : )))).........I love this machine. I would have to honestly say it is really a close second to the one's I buy at the expensive coffee carts here. For the price, the ease and the fantastic taste ::: This is the blue ribbon winner. It's a good size too. Gave me 2 very large servings in my mason jar. What a great gift for someone or to have for guests also. I don't like my coffee too sweet so here I can control it easily. Wow does half and half give it a nice, rich, frothy kick !! Gotta go..........off for a couple more. WOULD BUY AGAIN AND AGAIN.
___________
>>>>UPDATE : December 25, 2016 - This is the 2nd Mr. Coffee I have purchased. Each one has lasted approximately a little over a year. I just bought this 2nd one last Oct. 2015 and THE STEM STIR THINGY IS BROKEN AGAIN. Both had / have the same problem. That stir thingy which spins, stops working. This is getting EXPENSIVE / not to mention, frustrating. I don't know what to do and I'm not buying more warranty insurance. I TOOK OFF 2 STARS FOR THIS CONTINUING PROBLEM. Yes, I could let it drain through for a plain cup of coffee but that is not what I bought it to do. :/ The first stem broke off, the second one just stopped spinning. BIG MESS.
..........5/07/2014 -- I think this is my favorite thing I ever bought :D......Gosh it sure makes great latte's. People get a kick out of my entire little kitchen counter as they say it looks like Starbucks, LOL....lot's of flavors and my little coffee maker which is still going strong and is a wonderful way to start my day. I really love this thing! I sure makes great tasting lattes and is easy to do and clean up. I still use my half and half and Starbucks espresso whole coffee beans, fresh ground. Would make a great gift for coffee lovers!

Should have shopped at Walmart first…
September 16, 2017
This product works great. It's easy to clean, and a very functional. The only reason that I rated it has three stars, is because it should have come with the coffee maker. After I purchased and received the Mr. Coffee on Amazon, I went to Walmart, only to find that the price was slightly cheaper, and included this coffee filter. Too bad I threw away the package and use the coffee maker… Oh well, the coffee still tastes good.
Great filter but wash carefully.
September 6, 2017
I have owned this coffee filter for quite a while. My main goal was to find an environmentally sound way to make my morning cup while not sacrificing on flavor or with loose grounds in my coffee. After a year plus of use, a small tear has developed on the filter that renders it ill suited for finer grinds. If you plan on using this short term to save on paper filters it should be fine. However be careful and avoid machine washing and it may last a bit longer.
Works okay, but paper filters work better.
June 14, 2017
I bought this because I liked the idea of having a permanent filter around. It works okay but I noticed that I have less grounds/residue in my cup of coffee if I use a paper filter vs this permanent mesh filter. I still use this filter occasionally but it's for this reason my boyfriend never uses it.
Good product
May 11, 2017
Good price and save money in paper filters but i think change the flavor because not filter a good amount of coffee. A paper coffee filter more flavor, more colour, dismiss more coffee aroma this not all i don't know it's my experience after a year.
Makes coffee like it came from a french press
April 13, 2017
I found that the handle is pointless because it gets covered in grinds anyway. Using this filter makes the taste/texture of my coffee come out similar to that of a french press. Not a bad thing, depending on your preferences - just be aware that you will be left with some fine grinds at the bottom of your pot as with a french press.
Okay, but still lets some particulates through
May 18, 2016
This filter is not your end filter. I have used this for coarse grinds for cold brews and auto drips. It is okay for quick and dirty filtering (literally), however, it does let some particulates through. I still use it a first step in filtering cold brews and then pass it through a paper filter to get the rest, otherwise I end up with black sludge in my cold brews :(. For auto drips, this will produce a weaker cup of coffee than paper filters since the pores are larger which results in less brewing time and you are more likely to find particulates in your coffee. Overall it is okay for a first filter for 2-3 step filtering process, but I would not use this filter by itself.

Great at first but leaks after only 8 months.
February 17, 2017
I bought this for my girlfriend and she was so happy. Mr. Coffee discontinued this product for some reason and her old one stopped working after 5 years so she was very sad and thought she wouldn't be able to get another. Thank you Amazon!I purchased this back in February if this year and for some reason it has started leaking water when you brew a latte with it. The craft is in perfect condition, the water is leaking out of the bottom of the machine itself. My girlfriend loves this thing and had one previously that lasted more than five years. I'm very disappointed that this one only lasted 8 months. Can Amazon or Mr. Coffee help us out?
Great concept, questionable quality
August 14, 2016
We got this about 3 weeks ago and absolutely looooooved it from the start. It brewed regular coffee quickly for my husband and prepared tasty lattes for me in a snap. It was AWESOME. the reason I am giving it a low review is because it only lasted 3 weeks before the caraffe shattered. It is very specific on not immersing in water, which we abided by, but while rinsing out the milk-it popped and shattered in my sink. Now I'm left with a great machine and no caraffe to hook up for morning enjoyment. :( will be calling customer service tomorrow!
Great with Cons - Stopped Working After 2 Years
January 15, 2016
Good machine for the most part; however, since it is hard to find filter for this machine the normal coffee filters constantly cave which is a ruined latte and is very frustrating (even when using 2 filters sometimes). Unfortunately after 2 years the froth part on the machine has gone out so I simply get some coffee with milk now :( Very sad because when this machine worked well I loved the lattes!!!
Parts break easily and unable to replace. Doesn't make strong coffee.
August 9, 2015
Flimsy carafe that has racked in two places; the second piece was a chunk of the brim of the crafe that just broke off when I went to pick it up to use it. Now I am unable to find a replacement carafe and another reviewer just confirmed what I thought- they no longer maufacture the carafes for this model. Makes pretty good lattes, however it does not make good strong coffee. You can only put so much water to brew the coffee and the sprout that the water comes out of to brew does not soak through all the ground coffee up top before it drains into the carafe, so when I want a good strong cup I use my drip coffee maker and use the heat and froth setting to froth just the milk/ cream. All in all, I would say this is a waste of money and I would not recommend the purchase of this item, especially if you cannot replace the parts when they break so easily.
... give this 2 stars because it does make a good hot milk froth
February 22, 2015
I give this 2 stars because it does make a good hot milk froth. It heats and whips the milk which is what I wanted. The coffee itself is not of good quality so I use my Capresso machine to make the coffee and this little number to heat and froth my milk and I was happy with the results. HOWEVER, it is really hard to clean around the little ledge in the bottom of the unit, milk gets cooked on and you have to get in there with a cloth and your finger. I cannot stand cooked old milk in my container so it is a daily ritual to soak and clean this pot.
THE WORST PART IS THE PEELING BLACK COATING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MACHINE.
Maybe it is because I clean it throughly everyday, but the black coating around the edge of the little ledge is peeling. It rubbed off the front within the first 2-3 months, I thought I used too scratchy of a sponge, so I am now very gentle and use only soft cloth, I just noticed today it is peeling in several other places. I would have given this a 4 star if the thing didn't peel or didn't have that stupid ledge.

Cheaply made - the handle would not stay attached and has since been lost for all eternity. The solid bottom leads to the basket not draining quickly enough, causing grounds to wash up over the edge of the basket while you brew if you make any but the weakest coffee. Prepare for a silty brew.Also the gold tone has disappeared over the course of just a few pots of coffee, leaving me with the unpleasant question as to whether there's been a little... chemical additive in my morning joe.
other than the fact that it's easy to clean and saves paper (hence the 2 star)

other than the fact that it's easy to clean and saves paper (hence the 2 star)..the product is very flimsy. The handle broken within seconds of opening the box.
Not great. Handle feature is worthless.

Plastic handle is worthless. Pops out every time you use it. Not sure if I am going to keep this product. Not a good fit for Mr. Coffee timer coffee maker.
Poor design
October 10, 2016
The bottom is complete plastic so it doesn't allow for good filtering of the coffee when it brews. The coffee has to filter around the sides in order to get through to the pot. Therefore the coffee is extremely weak. Disappointing.
Too small...should be larger
June 27, 2015
Tried it once and the coffee was fine but it is too small and unless you center it some of the water will bypass the grounds and I did not like cleaning it. After dumping the grounds into the waste basket you still get a lot in the sink when rinsing it. I will use it as an emergency backup if I run out of filters and that's all.
Good for weak coffee
April 3, 2015
This coffee filter does not hold the amount of coffee I like to use to get 4 cups of strong coffee so I had to go through the process twice which is quite bothersome. Used it for a few days and went back to paper filters.

Defective
April 16, 2017
Only two weeks after I started using this product, it started acting up. If it worked properly, the milk you add to the carafe would start to swirl so that it does not scald at the bottom of the carafe. Secondly, the coffee should flow in a steady stream into the carafe. Neither is the case with this unit: The swirler does not work most of the time and the coffee comes out of the basket at a 45 degree angle, not in a straight downward stream into the carafe; it goes outside the carafe and onto the base of the unit, causing a coffee flood all over my counter and floor. This is clearly a defective item.

How this thing ever got 4.5 stars is beyond me. I purchased this thing ages agobefore I found out that I could call customer service and express my dissatisfaction so it's my fault for not knowing basic customer facts.There's a reviewer here who's put up pictures of her melted latte maker. Mine was exactly like this as well! From the start, I tasted something bitter, burnt and not at all unlike plastic in my coffee but I chalked this up to new product taste and continued to use until a week later when I realized the taste wasnt going anywhere! So one day I tried using only water and the water tasted the same: like bitter plastic! I wish I could get my money back. I'd gladly send the barely used embarrassment back!
Just OK
July 15, 2016
I probably wouldn't recommend this.Let me start off by saying that I bought this on prime day for a reduced price so I'm not too bummed about it. But I'm not happy with this machine at all. I didn't expect a coffee shop latte but I did expect it to be decent enough.... First off the latte maker takes about one minute to make a latte. Doesn't seem like enough time to brew the coffee much less brew and froth. I used 2% milk so maybe that's the problem? Shouldnt be. I made two lattes after throughly reading the introductions. There was barely any foam and the latte isn't even hot enough to drink. So the milk isn't heating up at all. I'd have the same results if I brewed a cup of coffee then added milk to my cup.I'm disappointed but I can't be bothered to send this back. Ugh.
Won't last long....

This coffee/latte maker is great at first, but be forewarned it will probably give you problems. I first purchased it in October 2015, but a few weeks in it would just cut off in the middle of the latte. It kept doing this, and Amazon was great about sending me out a replacement. (I was hoping that I just got a lemon). Well, the second one lasted six months instead of one (as the first did), and I am having the same problems as before. I use the coffee maker about five times a week, and I am very careful with it (don't get any water on anything electrical) and follow the directions. Now, it looks like I cannot return it a second time (maybe Amazon policy). I am out $65.00. You've been warned. I hope this review helps you save money.

August 11, 2015
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter who loved it while it lasted but the carafe is *extremely thin and fragile*. Although we took extra care, it cracked after about 8 months of use. Mr Coffee no longer manufactures a replacement carafe and all avenues to locate one have failed. Why a company would continue to sell a product that has a known design issue yet not sell the replacement part, preferably of a more robust design, is beyond me. If you go to the Mr Coffee site this is a common issue. I called Mr. Coffee, was told they aren't making replacements and was referred to a service center who didn't have any carafes either. Clearly without a carafe the whole thing is destined for landfill so unless you like extremely limited life items and don't mind throwing stuff (and your money) away, avoid this unit! I won't be doing business with them again.
Good lattes, easy to use
July 15, 2014
Update: 5/10/15 The latte maker no longer works. It runs for about 10 seconds then stops. The water does run through it to brew the coffee or tea and the frother stops spinning. Bummer. We really like this latte maker.--------------We purchased this to try cut down on our frequent trips to the local coffee shop (and we have). My husband loves it and makes at least one every day. It's fast and easy, especially if he grinds his coffee ahead of time. My son loves making tea lattes and hot chocolate. I like the coffee lattes it makes, but not enough that I want to have one more than once every couple weeks. For me, the expresso isn't strong enough and I prefer the taste of the steamed milk from a coffee shop. It's not bad, just different.If I could change anything, I wish that you could add less milk and still get a nice froth. The way the whisk in the latte maker works, you have to have the full amount of milk to get any froth. I'd rather use skim than 1% or 2%, but it makes way too much froth. Plus I think I'd personally enjoy the latte with a little less milk mixed in.This latte maker is very well-designed, easy to use and easy to clean. This is our coffee drink of choice, so I don't mind that it is a single-purpose gadget.

Coffee machine like it said it would
July 11, 2017
This product did not fit my Mr. Coffee machine like it said it would. Too much money to send it back so I will just chalk it up to a bad buying decision. Be careful with this one.
Though advertised as such, it doesn't fit my Mr. Coffee coffeemaker
May 6, 2017
This was listed under 'frequently purchased with' when I bought my Mr. Coffee. Turns out it's too big to fit the removable filter basket. Not sure how this wasn't a problem for very many others, but no biggie, it was only 7 bucks.
Waste of money
May 1, 2017
It has no handle, and without one, too problematic for me. Back to a paper filter.
Will NOT fit Mr. Coffee 4 cup
April 26, 2017
Did not fit my brand new Mr.Coffee 4 cup at all, much to large, so much for the item name and description. Not worth the headache to return, so I guess I'm out the money. The product was poorly packaged as well; it's amazing it had not been crushed in shipping.
Watered down coffee
May 12, 2015
Produces watered down coffee. I'd have to use far more coffee grounds than usual to get the taste I was accustomed to with paper filters. I'm back to using paper filters.
