Make cheap Mocha with a $30 Espresso Coffee Machine ECM250 - 用便宜咖啡機做摩卡

[retro80s70s]

This is a great review, and taught me how to use an otherwise scary looking espresso machine. The spoken language shouldn't be a problem to anyone who can read English.

[DJVARAO]

Great help :)

[lifethrufisheye]

Good video. Thank you. Sorry other people aren't grateful of someone such as yourself offering help.

[Ech0theDolphin]

great video, just what i was looking for, for my office.

[appa1920]

This guy makes sincere effort to create a video for all of us and some guys want to make fun of him?! I'm married to a Japanese woman and proud of it, and my children are awesome. Thank you for posting the video!!!

[mclamchristina]

多謝你整尼個video,我睇下walmart仲有冇30蚊咁平­先:P

[BreezesofConey]

Hmm, it seems like an awful lots of steps for first thing in the morning when someone is rushing around trying to get ready but probably worth it in the long run, once you get good at it of course, as a replacement for the store bought beverages. How do you know how much of each to add? Is it just trial and error based on what you like? I have an espresso/cappuccino maker here at home and I never used it for frothe until I realized I might not have been steaming it long enough. Can't wait now.

[omgBillyMayz]

ffs now I have to go on Amazon and buy an espresso maker just so I can try this out :P

[wchsgirl2121]

Great vid! =)

I don't have this espresso machine, mine is a different model. This still helped though.

[compston210]

thankyou, i was having problems getting a good pull, letting the machine heat up helps a lot. thank you again.

[mtheranus]

Thanks for the free education. Good Job!

[caseybivens]

Another cheap way to make a mocha would be to just put chocolate powder in the milk before you steam it, that way you dont have to mix the milk with the coffe/chocolate and loose your foam. You can also do that to make hot chocolate, just don't add the shot :]. Otherwise great video!

[ReverendRobin]

Loose the cap wait till water boils then tighten it. This way really makes better espresso.

[espirates2]

speak english I don't understand chink rap

[kwok3d]

@espirates2 Read subtitle you racist prick. Got something want to express? Get out and tell everyone, show some guts.

[compston210]

[DJVARAO]

[sgsound12]

[rostine1980]

Espressos r for Italians not chinaman!!

[kwok3d]

@rostine1980 Oh yea? Spaghetti was originally brought to Italy from China by Marco Polo. Think of me next time you order Orange Chicken, I will laugh at you.

[compston210]

@rostine1980 us whole word you racist fuck.

[rostine1980]

@compston210 y u 2 stupid 2 figure it out?

[rostine1980]

@compston210 who is racist? its a joke u homo! get ya head out ya ass

[compston210]

@rostine1980 No I fully understand what you are saying, and if slamming any one other then your race and sexual preference happens to be you preferred humor; I would expect you not to put forth the effort to type a whole word.

[yobiman4]

you are really noob that doesnt know how to make a simple coffe..

[realdan8899]

nice video yeah :D

[TheNatchers]

I'm getting MUCH better coffee from my steam machine since using your technique! Thanks so much for showing this.

[LT10megan]

"you will hear noises like WEEEE" haha lol

[moviemaster00000]

did it make crema?

[mandaloolu]

@ral5932 Hi I have a similar machine, and removed the frothing aid. I keep the tip near the service of the milk to get the most froth. However, the suggestion to froth for 1.5 minutes does not result in microfoam in my experience, but watered down milk.  I found that stopping just before the milk gets too hot produces creamy frothy milk that closely resembles microfoam the most.

[zumogo]

i bought it like 2 weeks ago and i had some problem making the foam.. thanks for the info and tips..

[Martimar470]

@zumogo Im having issues with the foam thing also. I got this one for x-mas. :)

[notyourbusiness123]

very good video. thank you.

[maypost]

That was a great looking pull for a steam driven machine!Great video!

[Severian126]

Awesome video man, thanks!

[imadeyourpizza]

@kwok3d Awesome, Thanks for the advice on how to make my cheap home made coffee better!

[ral5932]

still not good enough. notice how the espresso barely has any crema. these 30 dollar machines don't give you much crema because they don't produce enough pressure. I would recommend going with the 65 dollar mr. coffee ECMP50. 30 bucks more gets you top of the line espresso and frothed milk.

[GRANDECTV]

Good Video man!

[ALANSIANUQUI]

i agree with u man by the way great video thanx i have one of those cheap "espresso" machines haha

[MitchHonore]

AWESOME THANKS BROTHER!

[duaneafields]

Awesome technique on the cheap machine. Looked so damn good, I wanted to smell the screen. Thanks for posting.

[swarsny]

What size/make tamper is that? I can't seem to find one small enough for the coffee holder in the Mr. Coffee I use (Model ECM 160). It seems to be about 2 inch diameter on top, tapering down to slightly less than 2 inches at the bottom.

[kwok3d]

@swarsny Search "Cuisipro Coffee Tamper Small" on Amazon dot com. Bought it for $12.95 back in 2008, price went up nowadays.

[rajupowers]

excellent demo...

[ddoukopou]

Expensive isn't always better, but what I notice is you don't flush the steam nozzle before you place it in the milk. A stream of water always come out of mine at first but I have a more expensive one and the steam is ready even before I pour the shot.

[Egginamagail]

Thank you. :)

[ontrac88]

I hear a cockatiel! I had one of those once, annoying as f**k. Thanks for the instructions though, saved me $3.50 a day.

[quarterto12]

I can't get the right foam like you do, but I do exactly as you say...it's strange!

[ebruaksoy17]

thank you :)

[u2brr1]

A few suggestions. Use filtered water, leave cap LOOSE, then turn knob to heat. Do remaining steps to make coffee. Soon loud bubbling will tell you water is boiling. By now you should have your grinds and cup in place. Tighten cap & hot water will start. Eliminates step of hot water into cup. Another tip when you fill machine with water next time, turn knob to steam to let out any residue air pressure then open the cap to fill. This way you don't have to struggle with air pressure.

[HotPeachDoneRight07]

Any suggestions on how to make a better espresso? I use Starbuck's Espresso Roast. It has a burnt taste. I use 1 scoop of coffee to make 2 oz of Espresso (or 1 shot of espresso).

[oxygen63]

@HotPeachDoneRight07

perfect espresso - 7 g to make 30 ml ( 1 scoop=> 1 OZ)

[benjibenji8]

I always felt that Starbucks coffee always has a burnt taste, try another roast.

[benjibenji8]

(I always type always too much, always) :P

[grokker]

stop buying shitty starbucks?

[christiantotheend]

This video is awesome! Be sure to wipe off the wand immediatly like he said... I waited ten seconds and it was already hardened on to it. Also, you may think that a cheap espresso machine is going to be bad, but really they work great. Target has one in store for only $40. I bought it and it is AWESOME!! Wow

[aspenservices]

Best vid I've seen on this! Great Job

[tigercrap]

When I steam the milk, it gets too foamy!  How do you limit the foam before it gets hot?

[kwok3d]

Make sure it is the foam, not the bubble. You don't want any bubble. If you are getting bubble, you need to lower the nozzle (more distance from the milk surface) If you are getting too much foam before it gets hot... what types of milk are you using?

[tigercrap]

2% milk. I will use whole next time. Do I have to use an espresso grind coffee of can I use any kind of grind? Thanks.

[kwok3d]

Whole milk will get your even more foam than 2% or Skim. I'm wondering if you were just getting too much bubble. You need espresso grind yes, either buy the ready-to-use one or buy a grinder and whole bean to grind your own espresso. If you are just testing things out and not sure if you will do it often - don't invest too much on this.

[ShufflezNub]

May i ask malaysia got walmart a not?

[rlwalker2]

I prefer the ECMP50. The pump included along with the about 15 atmospheres pressure makes for a great espresso. It also does a super job frothing / steaming the milk. About $60-70 at Wal-Mart but might have to be special ordered. Shipping free if you pick up at the store.

[saphire82]

cool thanks!

[bgoodrick]

Good video, more clean than the instructions that came with mine. thanks

[jackolero88]

I bought the same machine at walmart. But every time I used it the coffee taste and smell like metal. do have any idea how can i remove the metallic taste and smell? BTW i've tried soaking it with vinegar over night, but comes out the same. pls help me with this thanks

[kwok3d]

Did you run it thru a few times before actually using it to make coffee? Also, please make sure to use distill water if available. How long have you had it?

[RyanLondon619]

you should probably steam the milk first then make the espresso. because the espresso expires fast and it should be added to the steamed milk right after the espresso is done.

[kwok3d]

Really? I'll try that next time. Thanks!

[grokker]

espresso doesn't expire fast. and you add milk to the espresso, not the other way around.

[MrTreeFingers]

Nice video, I saw that same espresso machine at walmart and wondered if it was worthwhile.
