When brewing your shots does this machine stop when the correct amount of espresso is brewed?

Yes. The machine comes preprogrammed for single and double shots and will stop when the preset amount is reached. You can also reprogram the settings yourself. I found that this was required initially, as the amount was slightly off, and you may need to do it again a couple weeks later as the pump gets broken in.

If you need to change the amount, you can program it to brew longer or shorter. I've also noted that depending on the grind and pack it will either brew more or less.

Yes it stop, but you can set how long or short you would like to have your shots

it will if you set it up that way. the machine is versatile. personally, I like to use the manual option. this machine may be somewhat complex, but operation is simple.
463795
Yes it does this automatically. Just make sure your coffee is ground properly for the automatic setting. You can change the settings manually if you want it set differently. Works well.

This makes excellent espresso! This easily makes two very large "shots" of espresso. We easily make two drinks with it, keeping in mind that an espresso shot is considerably smaller then a cup of coffee.

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.

I have noticed a very slight variation in temperature of the espresso. Typically it is just at a comfortable temp to drink as soon as it is drawn but sometimes it is a bit too hot.

No it does not but I have not found it to be a problem. Sometimes I like my espresso a little watered down so its helpful to be able to choose that option. The only con is that you can't just press the button & walk away or else you might have a bit of a mess on your hands. I have truly enjoyed my Nespresso machine. I used Tassimo prior to purchasing it & over all I liked the Tassimo but unless you wanted the pods sold in retail stores which I didn't it was very difficult to get them as ordered. Their customer service was terrible. Nespresso's customer service so far has been excellent!!!! I would highly recommend this machine as one of their lower priced products!!!

Make sure your pod is inserted in the correct way & that you are pressing the correct button for the type of coffee you are making eg, brew is only the bottom 3rd button & buttons 1 & 2 are for espresso only. Be careful not to mix them up.

Yes. You can adjust how much water is used in that single shot as well. In addition, you can make a latte using another button. I've had my machine for over a year and I highly recommend!

I have same machine. Never had any issues. Only suggestion is to ensure you use quality espresso ground coffee. If that doesn't help return machine.

Thanks for the insight... I'm frothing before pulling the esspresso now. I'm still very happy with the machine.

After the machine is warmed up, (takes about 15 minutes) After the first cup, as long as it takes to empty out filter and put in additional coffee, you can continue to make additional cups of espresso. Just be sure that the water tank has enough water. If you have lots of guests who want espresso at the same time, maybe you had better step up and buy a fully automatic machine. DeLonghi has them....

I don't set it on the finest setting but pretty close to that. For espresso, you want the grind to be fine enough that as the water goes through it extracts the most flavor but not so fine that it becomes mud and the water doesn't go through well. If you have an espresso machine at home, you will want to play with the grind a little. The grounds should be well packed and not have excess moisture in them when the extraction is complete. If there is moisture left in the grounds, you will need to adjust.

Beth,Get ready to part with your machine for some time!I had my machine for 3 months and steam dial developed an in-out play! If I inadvertently pull the dial outward the pump/steam stops!? Just finished talking to Krups. To fix the problem, I would have to send the unit for repair - it takes 4-8 weeks to get the machine back. So, the tally is: 3 months of use, 1.5 month to repair for 600 dollars Espresso machine - UNACCEPTABLE(in my opinion)!

I have never seen any markings as you describe. I use ESE pods. I run water through the machine to warm it up, counting to 25. Then I stop the water flowing, empty the cup, put a pod in the machine, turn the knob to begin the process again, and count to 25 - at 6 the espresso begins to pour. At 25 or 26 seconds, I stop the machine. That's it. I use Island Joe E.S.E. pods and it makes very good espresso. Hope this helps.

No, you have to turn it off yourself. Good think is that you can control the strength of the espresso.

I typically extract one shot. Although two are feasible since there is a double spigot outlet. Apparently, it is a matter of personal preference, I prefer my espresso double (two extraction cycles); "ristretto" with crema. My water setting is very close to the minimum, 10 grind and about half in bean amount. Cheers!
