Can you use this with an espresso machine?

Not having an espresso machine I don't know. It is recommended to use either a coffee press or a coffee maker with a gold filter. You could certainly try.

I believe the instructions say to use a French Press or a coffee maker with a gold filter. I use a French Press and absolutely love it.

I am not sure. The tablet goes in where the espresso coffee normally would go so if you have a machine like that you probably would be ok. i would go on the manufacturer website and look if they have something similar for your machine and if they do then you could order these

Hi. You would need an adaptor. However, it is worth it. Makes very good espresso and is nice looking.

I have to modify my answer after i double-checked the machine. It does have the function for turkish coffee grinds so it could be quite useful for you. This unit also has different modes for drip/pump-machine espresso. Quite universal :)

No. Since it is preground you cannot control the flow through adjusting the grind size. Therefore it will only be "useable" in cheaper espresso machines that have a pressurized portafilter.

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.

We haven't used it for espresso, but the grinder is metal. According to this site: http://cupandbrew.com/pages/buying-guide-coffee-and-espresso-grinders , you'd want a ceramic one.

No, not unless you want bad espresso. This is a blade grinder, and will never be able to achieve the consistency required for good espresso. It may be able to make a powder out of some of the particles, but unless the particle size is consistent, the extraction will not be consistent. You need a burr grinder to get more consistent grounds.

Absolutely. That's why I bought the Preciso. So I could go from Espresso to press on the same unit. I now own a Baratza Vario. It has a different burr setup and it's not as good for course grind, but most people wouldn't notice the difference.

We would recommend the LiteFuze LT-3000 or the convertingbox 3000 for your Espresso machine.

No, unfortunately. Illy made these specifically to fit their own espresso machines and they are to small for Keurig.

It would go well with espresso. I love it. It is solid wood and very good quality.

i think you can use whatever beans you want--i use decaf espresso so that i can use our coffeemaker for caffeinated. i think the manual said how fine, but i can't remember. i know it's not the super fine, like an espresso machine and it's not the really coarse grind, so it's in between. just start with a middle setting and if you start to get sludge in the bottom, it's too fine.

Yes! as long as your breville came with the 'pod' basket. Some do not have it. Mine came with it. Its much shallower then normal espresso basket.

Not sure. Others have complained about grind consistency. I grind fine but for a drip machine, and if have had no problems overall, I love it. But sorry, not sure whether it is consistent enough for an espresso machine
