Questions & Answers
If you're referring to Keurig or other similar machines, I believe the short answer is no; this is an espresso machine, and the coffee must be firmly tamped into the container.
Mr Coffee ECM160 vs ECM260 – The Search for Great Coffee at Homebr>Choosing between the Mr Coffee ECM160 and the Mr Coffee ECM260, which both make fresh coffee in the comfort of your own home, can be difficult. Both have similar features and are priced similarly.br>br>We've compiled a list of the main differences between the Mr Coffee ECM160 and the ECM260 to help you decide which is the best espresso machine for your kitchen. br>br>While both models have a sleek finish, the stainless steel exterior of the Mr Coffee ECM160 gives it a more contemporary feel. The ECM260 is primarily black, with stainless steel on the front only. br>br>The ECM160 also wins in terms of size, as it is smaller than the ECM260, which means you won't have to give up as much of your counter space to get your coffee fix. The ECM160 is 8 by 6 12 by 10 12 inches in size, while the ECM260 is 14 by 10 by 16 inches in size. br>br>Milk Frotherbr>br>Both the ECM160 and the ECM260 can froth milk for creamy lattes and frothy cappuccinos, but which one is better? The main difference between the two models is that the milk frother on the ECM260 can be moved around rather than being fixed in one position like on the ECM160. Having a fixed frothing arm can result in a screeching sound if your milk isn't heated properly, which can usually be corrected by moving the arm. Because you'll need to buy a jug for milk frothing with both of these models, the ECM260's movable arm may come in handy if you can't find one that's the right size. br>br>Cleaningbr>br>Both the ECM160 and the ECM260 are simple to maintain. They each come with a 20-ounce glass decanter and milk frother tips that can be removed. br>br>Both models have easily cleaned drip trays that can be removed.

Selected User Reviews For Mr. Coffee BVMC-ECM260-RB-1 Steam Espresso and Cappuccino Maker, Black
This Mr. Coffee machine performed admirably after following the instructions on the package insert. br>Serves two espresso shots sized cups in a relatively short period of time. My only (minor) quibble is that the knobsbr>to open the water reservoir and the one to turn it on/off/steam are truncated cones, which, while attractive to the eye, are uncomfortable to use and take some getting used to. All- Overall, this is a well-made product, and I believe it is superior to the Braun machine it replaced.
This item was given an extra star for its convenience. At first, there was just the right amount of coffee and very little tea (which was fine). That is no longer the case. My 3- 4 oz. coffee from a cup on the stovetop This 4- The cup machine produces 4 ounces of coffee and a minute of steam, which must be bled away. I'm not interested in any steam. br>br>I'm going to use a cafetiere again.
Except for the port gripping design on the dials, it is exactly what I expected. Hopefully, the person who designed this didn't waste too much of their parents' money on college. Aside from that, it's a good product.
This isn't ideal. There is no auto shut off and no detachable water container, which is ideal for someone who wants to foam milk and make coffee.
It's perfect and it works perfectly, and the aluminum color gives it a professional appearance.
The first five or six times I used it, it seemed to work fine. Tonight's theme is belly dancing. The light is turned on, but the water does not heat up. I'm throwing something away.
excellent value for money.
This morning, my coffee maker blew up.
