you can make Americano (English: American coffee) is a style of coffee prepared by adding hot water to espresso, giving it a similar strength to, but different flavor from, regular drip coffee. The strength of an Americano varies with the number of shots of espresso and the amount of water added. The name is also spelled with varying capitalization and use of diacritics: e.g. Café Américano - a hyperforeignism using the French word for coffee and the Italian word for American, but with the correct French accent - café Americano, cafe americano, etc.I find it much better than reg coffee! you can make Americano (English: American coffee) is a style of coffee prepared by adding hot water to espresso, giving it a similar strength to, but different flavor from, regular drip coffee.

This machine is an 'espresso' machine. You may make a so-called regular coffee called an 'americano' by adding an espresso shot to hot water....the amount of espresso or hot water to suit your taste. Personally, if I want regular coffee I will use the regular coffee maker rather than my Breville espresso machine. I've had my Breville for over a year and find it to be an excellent piece of hardware. It is essential to have a quality grinder. A less than high quality grinder will not provide a quality drink.

Yes and no, u can make americano, but do not expect to get regular drip coffee. This machine is designed for espresso shot..

Presumably if you place regular coffee grounds in the basket it would brew one cup of regular coffee, perhaps a bit stronger than a conventional brewer

No, but you can make an Americano which is shots of espresso and hot water - essentially the same thing as coffee, personally use a good old coffee press for coffee and this lovely machine for everything else.

You can make a version of regular Coffee called a Americano, the only problem is, it will taste a 1000 times better.It is a shot of espresso with some water added to dilute it to a regular coffee taste, only much better.

Sure, it's up to you how much ground coffee you put in the filter. You can experiment. We make our morning coffee every day using the Melitta Cone Filter Coffeemaker.

No. You put in as much water as you need to make the amount of coffee you want. It all heats, pours through the grinds and becomes coffee.

It only uses the specific pods, which are not like any others. To make a regular coffee you have to make an espresso and add hot water, basically make an americano. I haven't found any tea pods yet.

Yes, you can make a regular cup of coffee, all my guests love it. You can either use a longo capsule which is for a bigger cup, and or use another capsule. And yes, we make ice coffee drinks in large cups all the time.

Not at all. Making fewer than four cups, however, does not produce a full-flavoured cup of coffee.

You could use your own coffee and put in a small filter, but I use the pods, they are easy and taste very good.

The machine has a bypass valve so that you can use whole beans or ground coffee. The main point of the bypass is so that if you have regular beans in the hopper, you can make a cup of decaff using through the bypass (or vice versa). But you can only make one shot at a time, one tablespoon of coffee at a time. So, technically yes, you can make coffee with ground espresso, but it would be highly impractical to use that for anything other than the occasional cup.

I am not sure what you man by "regular cup of coffee" as this could mean different things to different people I suppose. The Nepresso pods and Citiz machine are geared toward making strictly espresso and or latte beverages. So if I understand you correctly then my answer would be "no" you cannot. This is, presumably, the reason why Nespresso has developed their new system Vertuoline which does that but uses a different type of pod than the previous models.

Yes. You can make any size cup of coffee by only pouring in that amount of water.

Of course. It's the only coffee you can use since it's not a Keurig or pod coffee pot, and it makes good coffee.

Yes you can, I am an expert on commercial coffee machines and I have to say that this little machine is really not bad. Not to be compared with one of the big ones like Saeco but what comes out, can be strong and pretty good. Only thing it is a little messy but that is the handle system. It is certainly a step towards the big ones until one can afford it. You can make a regular cup of coffee by using the double filter and let it run two cycles with the same powder. or the single filter and one double cycle. If you want a stronger one press the coffee powder good in the filter but careful not too much and not too high so that the filter has problems going in its place. AR

You can use it to make regular coffee, and it is a great cup. Just use a scoop of grounds and fill the chamber with water and proceed as instructed. You can adjust the strength by adding a bit more water afterwards if its a bit too bold, or brew a bit longer if its too weak.It's convenient, easy and makes great coffee. Look at how many opositives there are for this $25 invention. By the way, I think its made of Lexan (polycarbonate) so it will be practially indestructable.Just go ahead and pop for one. Its free shipping and no taxes, a bargain.

Espresso is not a type of coffee but a brewing method. However what most would think of as "regular coffee" this is not.

NO - it is just plain ground coffee with a flavor added - you would have to add your own cream, if desired.

I guess if you found a reusable capsule you could put regular coffee in it but not sure how it would taste...I've only been using the Nesspreso capsules
