I've been using this machine for years, and NEVER thought of just using the steam for stretching foam . . . I've always thought you needed to make espresso ALONG WITH the foaming wand. Thanks for "enlarging my worldview!"
Man I have been watching so many videos for making perfect foam and latte, but no one didn't mention about Stretch and Mix concept. You didn't really quite make a latte but the technique really worked out for my Mr. Coffee machine. Thanks brother :)
Awesomeness! So I became hooked on Duncan Donuts Cake Batter Lattes.☕ And if I don't find a Coffee/Expresso maker soon (to DIY) some I will continue to cough up 6 bucks daily. This definitely looks like an affordable start. Ty.👍🏽😉
Indeed, a great grinder is key to quality shots. However, in the case of the Mr. Coffee, the inner chamber is reactive enough that I can taste the metal contamination in the shot itself. That's why I don't like using it.
No problem. In fact, I think it steams better without it. Just surf the top of the coffee to make the bubbles then submerge to mix them into the latte evenly :)
Autumn Anderson yes I made a caramel macchiato in my espresso machine made the coffee first then I steamed my milk with vanilla and caramel in it and it came out hot in my mug afterwards I poured my mixture in the coffee

Kyoto Black excuse me, that's a Frappuccino Alright! And btw, change the title of your video. You dint show how to make a latte for Godsake! Stop fooling people Alright ya douche! 😡
Kyoto Black Jeez I didn't know farpuccino drinkers were that touchy about lattes. Might be going through sugar withdrawals. BTW I don't mind the espresso from those machines. I sometimes drink it strait up or I'll use the steam to heat water and make americanos.

Anytime!

Glad it helped. I know it's not a traditional latte but the shots for the Mr Coffee taste horrendous imo
Awesome love this.from Alabama,Teresa Farr Hazelrig
Thanks for for stopping by!😀
Thanks! This helped a lot. Found this machine for $5 at the goodwill and I'm glad it works!
Sure thing!
Thank you. Finally found the answer to what the plastic cover is supposed to do.
Sure thing!

You're very welcome!
Finally!! Thanks! It's very helpful 😌
Sweet!
Another way to help get a better foam, try grooming it. Tap and swirl your steamed milk so that the milk has a smooth glossy surface.
Nice info about steaming. Thanks. I found it steamed better with the frothing cap on, but I'm going to try it again your way and see what's what.
It pulls good shots if you have a good grinder

Kyoto Black that literally makes no sense at all. The inner chamber is reactive ? Sounds to me like you don’t really know much about the subject
@@welfaregod612 Damn, you totally figured me out. Excellent sleuthing. Someone get this man a medal for his hard work!
Interesting thought with cold coffee. I’ll have to give it a try.
i could tell you make good lattes
You know it!
Thanks for this video. My frother aid broke apart and I can't seem to find a replacement. Glad to know I can still get a good froth without it.☺

Silly cheap me bought this machine. I've since developed standards. What would y'all recommend with a $300 budget?
For $300 your best option might be the Breville Bambino machine.
Is this the emc160 model of Mr. Coffee maker? Thanks!
L Anderson not sure as I no longer have it. Sorry.
I thought I was the only one who did this!
So you have to add water to use the steamer?
Yep
where to get the carefee or the pot separately?
¯\_(ツ)_/
This may be a stupid question but can you froth it right in the mug/glass? Or will it break?

@@mslikenootha Quick question- Do sentence breaks or periods bother you? Cuz my friend, that was one difficult thought to read lol
you really shouldn’t, since the heat may damage the glass (temperature, expanding and contracting, etc.)
You only need a filter.
You are hereby conferred Phd in Latte Making!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
Hot water is full of metal particles. Way more than cold water.
Care to explain?

@@Valient6 will do thanks for the insight
That's why you use a hot water kettle to boil cold water and add that to the Mr Coffee.
That's not a latte! 😑
Yes, that is not a latte in your profile pic. I wonder why they call it that?

They're a weird bunch indeed. For some reason, I find the shots too metallic. Glad you enjoy your experience though!
Rong bro
Who the hell drinks a hot drink out of a glass cup. Come on lol
He was trying to show how much foam his technic created.
