Can you make latte's with this machine?

Yes. There are two ways to do it. One is with the frothing attachment and the other is with the external milk container. Both work well but I have been using the frothing attachment since it gets the milk hotter.

No, it's a frappuccino machine, not an espresso machine. You can use espresso grounds and blend it without using ice I guess, but that won't make a quality hot latte. It makes really good cold drinks.

Sure can. It's also way more than you'll ever need. Unfortunately, no matter how well you take care of it, the Barista Express doesn't last.

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

I guess so, but I haven't tried one yet. Check out the recipe book that comes wit the machine.

Not at all. This machine makes great froth. It will explain it all in the instructions. I love this machine and it just took me less than four minutes to make myself a latte, after work. I do use the Starbucks Via coffee thought and find it really easy to use. Even connoisseurs of a good latte, cannot tell the difference. Do use skim milk though, for the best froth.Good luck with giving your gift. They are lucky people.Regards, Dale.

Yes. You can adjust how much water is used in that single shot as well. In addition, you can make a latte using another button. I've had my machine for over a year and I highly recommend!

Yes. I use a full size latte mug for Double Espresso Latte, and a small cup with the pullout tray for a single shot Espresso or Latte

I'm not sure what you are asking, but if you are wanting to know if you can use coarser grinds of coffee, the answer is yes, you can. By that I mean that it will not break the machine. As you may know, however, the appropriate espresso grind is very fine so a coarse one will probably not make an espresso you would want to drink.

You could probably use it instead of milk/cream. I have used it as a coffee creamer and it was good. Make the coffee and use it after it is made to make your latte using the steamer on your expresso machine.

You really can't, that is, the machine uses special aluminum pods that you buy from Nespresso. There are instructions online on how to re-use those specific pods. But, I use my Keurig machine for coffee. The nespresso is truly a wonderful espresso machine, that's function is incredible espresso, and cappuccino.

This machine is more for espresso, lattes and cappuccino. It is not really used for coffee.

This is a hands on machine after you get use to it you can make a lattee in less then three minutes but you have to tamp the grounds ans steam the milk yourself, but it does have a very good bur grinder, and pulls a decent shot of espresso. The only downfall is we usually heat our coffee cup with hot water in the microwave for two minutes to get the cup nice and hot. For the price I highly recommend it. But if you have 1500 to 2000 there are better machines. All in all we love ours and I never regret buying it. Hope this helps :-) but I can make a latte in less then three minutes with it.

It's not a coffee maker. I recommend getting a seperate coffee maker if you want coffee. I make lattes and cappuccinos with this machine all of the time. I like to do two shots of espresso for each of my drinks.

You can do the espresso pods like the other users have said and in a pinch if you have the frother it can heat up the milk for you as well. It will also do a full cup of coffee (with the right pods) if you like that.

I have never tried it, but manual says you can. I'm satisfied with the machine , it does what I wanted it to do.
