Does the machine cafe Roma make only espresso or does it make regular coffee?

One could always make an Americano by adding boiling water to the espresso. The recipe varies from 1-16oz of water.

This is an espresso machine that is very good at what it does but it doesn't make what is normally thought of as regular coffee. I think Breville makes coffee machines but I'm not positive. Hope this helps.

Definitely. This machine is designed to produce espresso and it has the capability to steam and froth milk. Essentially the French café au lait and the Italian caffè latte is 1/3 espresso to 2/3 steamed milk, or a three ounce double serving espresso to five ounces of steamed milk.There can be a slight learning curve when it comes to frothing the milk. Make sure you are using a fresh and cold skim or 2% milk. Bleed your frothing tube line before lowering it into your frothing pitcher. Water will dilute the milk if line hasn't been bled.

No, this does not make espresso. Its a different kind of brewing method all together.

Hello, I don't have the Poemia espresso machine because I returned it to Amazon for the same problem that you are encountering. It would be a shame if Amazon would resell the same coffee makers that other buyers return because of faulty engineering. I advise that you return it as soon as possible. It's a good-looking piece of junk.

The Nespresso Citiz machine is for making espressos only, not Keurig-style coffee. However, the strength of your espresso can be adjusted as you can vary the amount of water that is brewed for your espresso. The manual shows how to do this (basically has to do with how long you hold the espresso or lungo buttons). What's nice is that the machine will remember the amount of water you want until you change it. I like being able to vary the strength of my espresso, so I don't miss "coffee."

I use Latin Style espresso grounds. you can find it preground in the coffe area of any supermarket. I like Pylon and Bustello, depending on whats on sale...

I haven't used the Sbucks espresso but I do use Lavazza - Crema e Gusto which is the coffee of choice of my native Italian friends and have no problem.

It makes only espresso and a slightly diluted version they call lungo. They have another line, I think called virtua, that uses different capsules that makes larger volume drinks.

No. This machine only uses the iperEspresso capsules. There are other machines that can use either the capsules or ground coffee.

Yes. I suggest you by-pass the Lavazza & get a Rancillio Sylvia with a PID temperature controller. It's all metal plumbing inside whereas most semi or automatic machines have plastic water lines & connectors. Bought a Saeco automatic which makes marvelous espresso but breaks down every 9 months when a plastic part breaks. I then got Miss Sylvia. Check out videos from Seattle Coffee Gear on You Tube as I think there's one on the Rancillio

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.

It was not the machine for me. I couldn't get it to work and returned it. I bought Mr Coffee and it works fine. Easy to use and makes a satisfactory espresso. Adele

No. Just espresso shots. Clearly, you could add hot water to the shot to make a "regular cup of coffee". Best regards

No. This is a regular espresso machine, called "Moka" in Italy, that basically has it's own burner. I have been using it for several years now and I am perfectly happy with it.

The espresso is excellent. You can prepare it in two strengths: 1) knock your sock offs and 2) strong. My machine works fast and effectively and the coffee is very full bodied and rich in flavor.

It does both. The regular is brewed beautifully. Be sure to buy Nespresso pods, as they are better quality than the others.

Espresso is a brewing method that is completely different than the method employed by the Snowden Oskar. The resulting brew can not be compared to espresso. It's totally different. I can't say better or worse because it depends on what you like but if you want espresso, buy an espresso machine because this will not give you anything near that result.
