can you use a coffee or espresso pod twice?

You would have to empty spent contents (I used in flower beds) then fill with your own grounds then there are little stickers you can buy in Amazon that re-seals. It's really not that convenient.

I would only use it twice on espresso to pull a double shot. It. Would not be good to use once then use again on different day. As for coffee pods one time but it is strong so if you hold down coffee button you can add additional water then depress button to stop so you don't have to make an entire other cup. I have to say the machine is awesome! I love espresso and this pulls Starbucks quality shots just like at cafe

I do. I mean I give the two pods, especially espresso a second run in different cup for quick shot, or to make a bolder flavor. You can pull off grande latte if you two shots and heat fresh milk. So good. Coffee I just use it once depending on strength falls on how much water you use. But I've noticed third time is no charm. In fact I found 90% of me running it through a 3rd time, the lever exploded even with my arm putting pressure, and had hot espresso grounds and water shoot at my face and hand. Once is right, twice is nice a little light, third gives you the bird.

Yes you can. It's significantly weakened however, which is good some people.

yes I do all the time.one time through gets a lot but there is some left and I just hit the button again . three times for the expresso pods

I imagine you can. I haven't tried it but I did try reloading the pod and covering up the top with a piece of foil. It didn't taste good. You can buy new covers on Amazon and try that. I haven't.

If you use two pods as I do in my Senseo SL7832, two of these reusable pods, do not work unless you take the actual two pod spoon out and just drop it in.

No, only one pod can be used at a time. Although the BluTigres pods that came with the machine seem to make stronger coffee. The machine also has a volume setting, so you can make 5,8,10 oz cups. If you are switching over from the Senseo machine like we did, you won't be disappointed.

I use regular coffee and grind it on the first espresso grind. I like to also grind a decaf coffee and mix the two so I make 1/2 decaf, but you could make all decaf if you want.

Yes, but I believe you can get pods to refill. The bigger issue to me is inadequate steaming & how long frothing takes. Check out the Ranchilio Sylvia which is what I use now.

No you can't as far as I am aware. But the quality of the coffee that is available is the best I have found for pods

No. This was a gift. We never use pods nor Keurig coffee makers. Convenience costs way too much.

Hello, No you CAN NOT use double sized pods in this machine, it states using standard size pods only. It is a shame, though, Thank you for your inquiry, if I can assist you further please contact me, Kimberly nGAP Customer Support Direct Line - 760.477.8713

The 800ESXL Duo Temp Espresso Machine does have a POD filter that fits it and is made by the manufacturer. ESE PODs can be used in that filter to make espresso.

Yes, you can use reusable pod, buy tea I cups, or put a tea bag in the coffee cup and leave machine empty and just have it brew plain water

You can. I use mine at work. You just have to go into the bin after your coffee brews to get the my k cup back. It's an extra step but you can make it work.

It's all about taste preference. I use shot glasses, 1 glass=1 shot (such as in a coffee shop). Just play around with it. If two shots aren't enough in the largest pod container then pull an extra shot, but with new coffee, if not it will be weak.

Either you buy a good grinder and make your own espresso with whole beans or you buy already ground espresso. I don't think you can use pods. Go to Krups website and look at their specs for the model you want along with user videos on YouTube.

When you turn the dial to 2 this gives you enough ground coffee for 2 shots of espresso just grind what you need, you just guess depending on what kind of coffee you drink don't force the timer backwards it will break

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 don't see why you couldn't. If you sit your two cups beside each other, it would not make a mess as you switch from one cup to the other. It is really easy to keep lifting up and checking the level of the coffee in the cup because I keep doing this to see if I have poured enough water. Something I need to try is pouring a cup back through to do a "double brew" to see if I can do my normal amount of coffee grounds. With all the travel drip systems the main complaint was needing to use more grounds for normal strength and this one is the same in those regards. :) Heather

yes it would. Technically that cup is to make 2 espressos.I would also add that the espresso done with that cup is more creamy and overall more tasty than the one done with the single cup.
