Unfortunately, no. The strongest cup of coffee I've made so far was with fresh-ground beans and the 'gold' coffee pod I bought on Amazon. (Really like that, by the way. You can adjust the coarseness and strength of the grounds.) I haven't tried it with "espresso" beans, but would think you could get a pretty stout cup that way. All of this, of course, pretty much cancels out the 'instant' factor touted by the makers of these machines. And I still think the water needs to be hotter to get good flavor extraction.

I Love this machine but I also just fill it halfway and don't need that much milk and froth. I would just do that and do it again if you need more.

not exactly. It is to make espresso. I comes with a frother for the possible latte.

It is not for espresso or cappuccino. You could certainly heat water to make hot chocolate. This machine is strictly for making coffee only.

Yes!! It works amazingly well. I have had this machine for over a year now and Iove it!! Friends frequently want just the frothed milk and they are amazed at how perfect every drink turns out. Every cup is hot and perfect. I do maintain it well though; whenever it says to descale the machine I do as instructed. Very easy to maintaine. I would never live without one now and it paid for itself after six months!!

It only makes coffee. You have to steam the milk separately. I did not like this machine, I gave it away.

I am sure. Using a concentrate liquid no problem with milk it will warm and froth beautifully. There is a heat range and you just have to figure out how hot you want it. We use cocoa and agave and sometimes it is a bit too much for it. Wait until the liquid has started to warm and pop the lid and sprinkle don't dump in the middle using the cappuccino frother attachment not the smooth one.

This machine has been great. I use it in my cafe in Mexico. Its on all day and makes alot of coffee. I did buy a stainless steel frothing so I could make certain espressos. I have a couple of extra of all excersories. They are much cheaper in the States. I also have a themostat to tell me how hot the milk is.

You can do the espresso pods like the other users have said and in a pinch if you have the frother it can heat up the milk for you as well. It will also do a full cup of coffee (with the right pods) if you like that.

Yes, you can. To heat up the milk and not froth it, you would not put on the cappuccino or latte attachments. The milk would still get stirred as the machine heated it up but it wouldn't be geaten "beaten" to a froth.

Another option...I don't even use that bothersome setup. I just stick the steamer nozzle straight into my cup of milk, froth it and then stick the cup under the espresso spout and finish up. In the meantime, I take off the steamer nozzle and go rinse it and put it back on. It's just a lot faster and less of a hassle.

Yes, and there is a good video on youtube. In Italy they pore the brewed coffee and the frothed milk at the same time, then spoon the foam on top.But it's really up to you how strong you like it. you will find your sweet spot. I love my machine. And the price was right, thou if I was rich (very rich) I would get a fancy one with an Eagle on top. One note: to clean the grounds underneath, run water thru the brew cycle into an empty cup. Cleans it for the next day.

Yes! I have recently made the switch from cows milk to almond milk. I was a bit worried about frothing the almond milk in the nespresso. But I tried it and it worked perfectly. I'm so happy it can froth anything. I love my nespresso.

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

Yes. There is a setting to only get only frothed milk as well as the cappuccino setting that is milk froth and espresso.

I've also never tried milk from milk powder, but yes, you can froth directly in the mug itself. Please note that in my review I discuss how this item stopped working approximately 2 weeks from receiving it and I would not recommend this product.

Kind of... to steam and froth the milk (required for a cappuccino) you would need a separate device. Nespresso makes models that have a milk reservoir that will steam and froth milk for you, but that is not this specific model. This one does espresso (one part of the cuppiccino) and coffee
