Sit back, relax, and sip on your favorite latte…at home!

I’ve been a coffee snob ever since I was a Starbuck’s barista. You should have seen me go. I was a coffee making machine! Then, I made a monster. My husband is 10 times the coffee snob that I am. Logan can smell a bad cup of coffee from a mile away. Not even kidding. Don’t get me started on his picky palate. 😉

I have to say, I was a little skeptical before I tried the Mr. Coffee Cafe Latte maker. We have the Breville espresso machine with which we make Starbucks-like lattes. Unfortunately, the one time you want to relax and have a latte is when Liam is sleeping. The Breville is so loud that we just take it outside to brew our coffee. It’s quite a sight to see Logan outside on the front porch making lattes. He may as well open up shop for the neighborhood. $2 a latte? 😉

I didn’t think anything could top the Breville machine, especially since it’s a $400 machine. Well, Mr. Coffee, I think you did. It’s perfectly hands free like a coffee maker, but delicious like an espresso machine. I can’t tell you how much we’ve enjoyed a quiet latte while Liam naps these days, and without having to annoy our neighbors.

Not to mention that this machine is easy to clean up and the coffee grinds are ready to dump when the latte is done brewing, just like you would a coffee maker. It’s also mesmerizing to watch the little whisk stir up the massive amount of delicious foam in the pot. Mmmm!

I just have to give a shout out to the Mr. Coffee marketing team who sent the largest, most precious display I’ve ever seen! Check out the board and goodies they send to the bloggers:

Anyway. Back to the coffee, because you know we need some today…hump day! 😀

The beauty of this machine is that you just put your favorite ingredients in the pot and it mixes them up…the result: a beautifully flavored latte. I’ve been loving all of the recipes provided by Mr. Coffee. You can be so creative with this machine!

You can even go coffee-free and make some pretty gnarly and creamy hot chocolate. Mmmm!

Never in a million years did I think I would love this machine, but I do believe I would buy this machine for my family members, just so they could enjoy it as much as I do. I even brought the Mr. Coffee Cafe Latte machine to Charleston for Thanksgiving to share the latte-goodness with our families! And yes, they were just as happily surprised as I was.

A little note on this honey cinnamon latte:

The inspiration for this latte came from my favorite local coffee shop in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, called Metto. This honey cinnamon latte is slightly sweet and spicy…the perfect balance to the espresso and milk. Plus, it makes the foam taste AH-mazing. 😀
