is it possible to fill only one espresso cup at a time with this?

Yes... basically u just turn the nob to stop the brewing process once u have ur one shot. I personally fill 2 at a time and find that 1 1/3 scoop works well

I also have Nespresso and just got the reusable/refillable capsules, they don't sell them at stores, only on eBay and maybe on amazon, work great! Nespresso machines use more pressure than most machines over $2000. My friend also has the one for $99, nothing fancy, but so good!

I can't believe these answers. lol.Bob S. had the only correct answer to your question. Of course you probably figured it out by now, but this is for others who might have the same question.

Yes....as long as the single expresso cup has a lip diameter that is greater than the distance of the two drain spouts. I'd measure that distance for you except that I somehow inexplicedly lost my complete coffee grinds strainer mechanism!

I disagree with Tina. I've had this machine since Christmas and the only times I've made a mess, it was my own fault. You can make a single shot by using the single portafilter, or a double shot by using the double portafilter. By using a mug, you can catch the drips from both spouts in one cup, whether it is a single or double shot.

I always make 1 or 2 cups only, so, I don't have this problem... Don't make a lot of coffee as well. :)

Yes, you can. Four cups is really equal to 2 mugs. Set the Aroma button so it drips slower.

No, they cannot be done simultaneously...there is only 1 pump. You can do either function first. I preferred milk first, then put the shot directly into the frothed milk.

Yes you can but honestly I would not recommend this machine. Since we received it it gives an error if it has been several days since it was used and we have to run water through the carafe side before we can use the individual cup side. I wish I had purchased another machine.

Yes you can do it. The coffee container/filter has marks for 2 and 4 cups of grounded coffee, so, you can measure half way up to the "2 cups" mark and you will have coffee to make 1 cup.At the begining, I found kinda hard to measure both time and coffee, but after two or three tries, I found the right amount of coffee and brewing time to have a nice cup of coffee (I usually like very strong coffee, so, I use the 4 cups line to make 2 cups of, i.e., moka).

Yes. It can make one oz. or 2 oz. of espresso. It comes with 2 sizes of filter holder depending on how much you need. Be sure to clean the filters on a regular basis (including the one that is attached to the maker).

Yes you can. It works just like a full size coffee maker only it allows you to make one cup at a time.The unit has a permenant basket(removeable for cleaning), a travel mug and works great.You will have a full cup of coffee in five minutes.

I've loaded just enough for 4 cups. I'm assuming you could use just enough for one cup.

yes, just select the amount of water you want, less water for a stronger cup and more water for a weaker cup.

No. Filling the reservoir is pretty straightforward. It pulls out cleanly, remove the top, fill, back, in seconds. It's good for about three extra long or a half-dozen espresso shots before refilling.

The machine has a bypass valve so that you can use whole beans or ground coffee. The main point of the bypass is so that if you have regular beans in the hopper, you can make a cup of decaff using through the bypass (or vice versa). But you can only make one shot at a time, one tablespoon of coffee at a time. So, technically yes, you can make coffee with ground espresso, but it would be highly impractical to use that for anything other than the occasional cup.

yes, but it's more a one cup at a time, bypass doser so you can put in decaf or something special. to use it just this way would defeat the entire purpose of owning it. it is to make espresso and all drinks related to it. To have the option to use a bypass doser is great though, for the odd time you'll need decaf or someone else will ask you for it.

Yes, you can program the amount of coffee it produces with each capsule by holding down the blue 'brew' button until the amount you desire is reached. The machine then remembers this size until you decide to change it. This can be as little as a small espresso cup to a larger cup. Of course the coffee gets weaker the larger the cup but it is still quite versatile while producing a great cup of coffee to your liking.

No, this machine does not have that capability. In fact, the user's manual recommends warming one's cup, as well as the machine's components, by running only water (no coffee) through the espresso side before actually brewing espresso.

Yes if you do not put any coffee. But the amount will be equal to a double espresso. You can repeat this action over and over until the amount desired. You need to be careful to watch your water tank.
