Mr. Coffee Compact Espresso Maker with Steam Wand, 15-Bar Pump

The Mr. Coffee Compact Espresso Maker delivers exactly what it promises: an easy way to make espresso drinks at home without breaking the bank. The 15-bar pump extracts a decent shot with crema, especially for a machine under $100. The steam wand froths milk well enough for basic lattes and cappuccinos, though it takes some practice. It's not built for heavy daily use - the plastic housing and single boiler mean you'll wait between brewing and steaming. But for occasional espresso drinkers or beginners, it's a fantastic entry point. 99 (66% off), it's nearly a steal compared to pricier models. The included pressurized baskets make it forgiving for fresh or pre-ground coffee. If you want a no-fuss starter machine, this is it.
