How long between shots will I need to wait? Can I use this when entertaining guests?

I don't think this machine is made to continue making shots back to back. We tried it a couple of times when we had visitors and it took longer the second time.. Once we made our coffee, we had to wait about 5 min before we can start making the next round... After entertains our guest numerous times, the machine started going slower.. In my opinion the expresso machine is pretty good, however, just for two.. Hope this helps.

After the machine is warmed up, (takes about 15 minutes) After the first cup, as long as it takes to empty out filter and put in additional coffee, you can continue to make additional cups of espresso. Just be sure that the water tank has enough water. If you have lots of guests who want espresso at the same time, maybe you had better step up and buy a fully automatic machine. DeLonghi has them....

Almost immediately; maybe 5 to 10 seconds max. The water in the boiler is already hot, so it only takes seconds to bring the temperature back up after one shot of water is used. By the time you get rid of the puck or used pod and reload the filter, the green temperature light is back on , and you are ready to brew another shot. I do this when making double shots, as getting 2 pods into the filter is difficult and the pump strains to push the water through the extra paper of 2 pods. If you want to brew doubles without having to reload the filter, I recommend using loose grounds, but that's messier than using pods. I prefer the pods, and reloading. Using it for guests should not be a problem. Almost immediately; maybe 5 to 10 seconds max.

You should be able to use this for entertaining. Once you load the machine since the water is in the back filled up. You fill the portafilter with your ground espresso or you can even use the pods. I have not used the pods yet, but my espresso after I fill mine once you hit the on button it has to warm up, then you will see the second light under the on button then when you hit this button it takes about four seconds to brew. I have my three ounce mugs under it to catch the great espresso. You can also make other drinks, I do not bother since I just take my espresso as it is with nothing in it I like mine very strong.

No! You get two shots and that's it! However from all that I have researched, they are very effective and all you need... Hope I never have to find out!

You only get one shot per cartridge. Then remove cartridge. Apply nozzle. Shake vigorously before each use thereafter. Keep cold but not frozen. Hope this helps.

About 10-minutes. It's a fun little machine. Good for parties to let everyone pick their own fillings.

Hi, Gregory. You can. The manufacturer of this one advises not to use for more than 60 minutes, so it's certainly okay in that respect. As for mood, I've found that sometimes I need a little extra time and so I'll do 45 minutes (or, if I really can't tear myself away - because it does feel really good sitting in front of it - I'll do the whole 60). Just keep in mind that you would likely find yourself over-stimulated with that length of time if you don't work up gradually. Best of luck with it.

You may have a wait while it recycles between shots, bu it shouldn't be a problem. Just be sure you have sufficient top pressure to initially activate the plunger. It's a nice tool! Don't forget to clean the jaws as they can jam if you use aluminum rivets or cheap rivits.

Not too long. That is the one negative, one does need to drink up or use a carafe.

Just get the "D5" product. Just use a quick shot - it can be a little messy.

I do NOT immediately, you should see improvement over time. As to your other question, I keep the solution in my mouth from 5 to 15 minutes other reviewers have claimed longer 30 minutes. I hope this but it really comes down to you and what you prefer!

Use a Blender and don't make a drink--Make a small 2oz shot.Or, blend it with lots of your favorite flavorful stuff; other than that it may not be for you...

Haven't measured it rigorously, but there's usually about a ten to 30 second delay between what you shoot live and what is seen on livestream, depending on the connection you are using - wireless or wired.

It is as manual as it gets. A lot of it is intuitive since the ready light is not a true indicator. At times the temperature got higher than ideal that it scolded the taste. Better have the espresso grounds ready Head of time. In my experience, it would take about 5-7 minutes for 6 shots.

I don't believe there's any limit to how often you can use it; you can use it every day if you like. However I think once a week may be okay. I usually leave it on till I get sick of it; but generally I'd say half an hour would be sufficient.

After every shot. It is also recommended to pump it 1 time and leaving it pumped while not in use. That is unloaded & not cocked of course.

Plenty for me, but when I go to an event/party, 20-30 shots, is by far the most I'll take (otherwise people get sick of ya ;) and that doesn't even put a dent in the initial battery's starting point. I know they're always trying to sell extra batteries, but i think that is excessive. It lasts for a quite a while, including if it isn't used for a period of days.

Kinect, Not long. Maybe 1-2 days? And for that reason, you shouldn't mix up more than you intend on using that day. This way you won't foul up your sprayer or end up spraying a finished solution which has deteriorated because the active has sat too long.Cheers,JonathanCustomer CareU-Spray Bugspray

I'm also looking at this as a wearable reminder for my senior Mother. She is someone that gets frustrated with the fancy cable remote for TV. When she takes her shots and medicine, does she have to reprogram the whole thing to remind her in 4 hours? Every 4 hours she needs a shot and/or medicine. Be nice if she had a 2 step sequence to reset it. This button , then press 4 ...ex.
