This is such an easy espresso latte cappuccino maker. Mr. coffee has been at the coffee business for as long as I can remember and for them to create this type of machine has really elevated this brand to a new level for me. I can get coffee house style beverages without thinking too hard about it and it's a step above what I've had in the past in terms of latte makers. It made a delicious beverage in no time. The instructions were pretty easy to use and set up.
