#UPDATE JAN 2023After 6 years, my Mr.Coffee espresso machine was still working and now is gone, BUT, not because any issue with the machine. Long story short, Dez 2022 we had that snowstorm in Buffalo, NY and my backyard door was blown by the snow while me and my wife were in a trip. Snow everywhere inside my house, broken pipe, etc and the cold damaged both my Mr Coffee espresso machine and my Nespresso. It seems that the water inside the pump got frozen and damaged the coffee machine. My insurance paid for a new one and I bought again the same espresso machine, but now with a steel front panel instead of the white.#UPDATE Nov 2022Well, more than 5 years after, my Mr Coffee espresso machine is still working great. Not a single issue so far.Important: I keep using ONLY distilled water. So it keeps the machine clean from mineral elements. I don't need to use any kind of cleaner.#UPDATE: Mar 2020 - Almost 3 years and 3 months (39 months) later, my Mr Coffee BVMC-ECMP1102 works perfectly. No problem so far. Very sure I will buy another one when this one breaks. I hope it won't be soon. I enjoy so much this machine since the beginning. Don't forget to check my tips down on my review. Carlos, Williamsville,NYUpdate Aug 17th 2019 - 2 years and 7 months later - Working perfectly! I still love this machine and use it every single day, usually, more than once. Check my tips to keep it working for this long.Update Jul 24th 2018 - Almost 18 months, it still works perfectly. If it breaks, I would buy another one. Check below the secrets to keep it always new.Update Mar 9th 2018 - After 13 months I'm still in love to our Mr. Coffee Espresso Machine. My wife also loves it. We have been using it every single day, at least 2 times a day, sometimes up to 6 times.TIPS & SECRETS ==========================Here are some SECRETS to keep your machine working, lasting longer and having more fun.1- Use DISTILLED WATER to make coffee. Spring water is worst than water from your sink tap. More minerals on water, more metal residues on machine parts that will cause damage. Distilled water has no minerals. You can find it in a good grocery store. I buy mines on Wegmans.2- CLEAN it. Always. Use the clean function after using froth milk, clean the water tank. Small milk of any other residues can damage any espresso machine within time.>>>update: It happened to me that the coffee was not coming out and overflowing the grind coffee support. It was a mess, BUT, after a few times, I found out that it's also about cleaning. If you make a coffee and don't clean and use for a few days, especially in a dry weather/ar conditioning, the coffee inside the coffee filter gets stuck and hard to clean (I mean, inside you can't see. Spray some strong cleaner on it and let it under very hot water for some time. Repeat if necessary. This can happen with any espresso machine.3- Make MOCHA out of it, it's awesome. A good Chocolate syrup, whipping cream, added to the regular Cappucino. Cocoa power and some cinnamon powder.4- Godiva's Chocolate liqueur on a cappuccino will add nice taste for hot weather.5- Use the froth milk to make a fantastic Hot Chocolate, but before warm the cup and drop a square of a good dark chocolate on it.6- Espresso is supposed to be very hot in temperature. Always warm the cup with boiling water if possible.Update APR 5th - After almost 2 months It works perfectly, I simply love this Espresso Machine. The automatic milk foam feature is fantastic. I've bought cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, Hersheys Dark Chocolate Syrup, Godiva Cocoa Liquor and Whipped Cream to make some awesome special coffees.FEB 9th 2017 - Loved ! I had a few Espresso Machines and decided for this after my older one burned on my fault. I just loved this machine, specially considering its price. Good espresso quality ! The Cappuccino and Latte features are awesome. Just the froth milk is a little bit watered. I make awesome mocha with it too. Really beyond my expectations. Let's nee its durability. Will be back to this review in 4 or 6 months. Feb/2017
