What to know about Mr. Coffee 2213533

A very low-cost 15-bar pump machine with a steam wand, dual-wall baskets and a 50 oz tank. It is Consumer Reports' Editor's Choice among budget espresso makers for its simplicity and its milk foam.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

Consumer Reports praised its simplicity and milk foam. The dual-wall baskets work with pre-ground coffee, so you need no grinder, and the total cost stays near $130.

It rests on one independent test. Consumer Reports found the shots bitter at first, and the build is mostly plastic. Amazon's current offer is from a third-party seller.

What to know

Skip it if shot quality matters to you or you want something that lasts for years.
