does this make cappucchino as well as expresso

How well the cappucchino taste also heavily depneds on the foam you make. This machine make reasonalby good espresso, but is OK for foam. If you are really into cappucchino/expresso, I would recommend a manual machine like Breville 870. My personal bias, it worths it.

Sorry but mine died before I had the chance to try out a lot of the functions. Saeco had a terrible return policy as well. I'd avoid this product.

Yes it does both well. However the cleaning and maintenance required is overwhelming-- you will need to take the entire machine apart weekly with tools

Yes it does, in addition to ice cream, frozen yougart, sherbet and Gelato. Very easy To use and very easy to clean up. One recommendation is to make multiple batches at a time. Most base ingredients are the same it is the "flavors" that are different. Example I made today Honey & Tyme ice cream, Chocalate Bourbon Gelato and Avocado ice cream this morning. Each make about 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream and we are having company for Mother's Day tomorrow, this will be dessert.

Yes to making good espressos and cappuccinos. The closest to a regular cup of coffee you can make with this would be an Americano.

Yes, it makes all of them. Go to the Nespresso website (or Youyube) and there are videos on the different espresso based drinks. It is the Nespresso UMilk.

This machine does not make regular coffee, so you still need to keep that machine, it makes great espressos and cappuccinos when you're in the mood for that.

It is not automatic (in effect you push the button to start and stop). Making espresso shots is easy. Making steamed milk for cappuccino takes a little practice. But compared to other espresso makers I've had this one is pretty easy. There are really good videos on YouTube of using this machine to make espresso and steamed milk for cappuccinos or latte's - I'd check those out if you are concerned about being able to do it.

I'm not sure what you mean by making expresso with a steamer, but here goes:I make cappuccino from either ground expresso or ground regular coffee in a drip coffee maker. I use a 20 ounce frothing cup with about one quarter to one third cup of either skim or regular milk (the fat in regular milk gives more froth). I use a stove-top frother.In this manner I usually make two 8 ounce cups of cappuccino.I hope this helps.

It makes espresso in a small cup and a lungo in a larger cup (3.25 ounces, about). Although the lungo is more equivalent to the size of an American coffee, it is more intense. You could add milk to it if you want it to be more like a cappuccino. You MIGHT be able to make American coffee if you used a different capsule, maybe from a company other than Nespresso. Their capsules seem to me to be very European.

No, you have to brew your expresso first then froth your milk. If it was me I would keep looking for a better machine.

I believe it is. Not 100% positive. I love the machine. Cappuccino looks just like ones we had in Italy.

Yes, I microwave some water, then add the concentrate. If needed I will give it a bit more in the microwave. I only use expresso coffee as other blends won't give enough flavor.

I don't think it is as rich as expresso, but it has a fuller taste than from a drip machine. I really like my Presto.

The grocery store should have a special section for espresso... it's a special roast for coffee makers like this. Regular coffee won't fit through the holes as well, and won't taste as good. I put a little sugar in my cup before I pour the cappuccino in.

Absolutely! I've made chimichurri sauce and pesto with no problem. Love this appliance for so many reasons!!

Yes, that does work just fine. I also use Lavazza Rosso and it makes splendid coffee. Hope this helps.

You need to add the coffee after it brews. This machine does not combine steamed milk w coffee or espresso at the same time
