Hello there. I got the Ena 9. I had an earlier model before (I think it was ENA5). You Cavan make a perfect espresso with this machine with one button when the machine is switched on.

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!

Yes....We bought this specifically for my wife's Starbucks addiction (Carmel Macchiato) and it's impressive....One touch for Espresso, Americhano, Coffee, Cappucino....Very easy to maintain and the bean grinder works perfect....It took a good 50 tries to get the perfect blend but my wife wanted the exact taste from Starbucks....You won't be disappointed with guests as everyone loves using ours when they come over....I'm looking into getting another one for our office....If you get one feel free to call me so I can walk you through setup as it will save you a lot of time around the holidays

Yes one touch of a button creates a customized espresso as you have the ability to add additional shots with the boost button

You can only use the little pods. It will make espresso or regular coffee. It's great and no clean up time!

There are two size buttons on the machine. The Espresso button brews 1 oz. and the coffee button brews a 6 oz. cup. That was a big part of my disappointment with the product because the pods are so expensive and it takes 3 to make a decent size cup of coffee.

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

You should be able to use this for entertaining. Once you load the machine since the water is in the back filled up. You fill the portafilter with your ground espresso or you can even use the pods. I have not used the pods yet, but my espresso after I fill mine once you hit the on button it has to warm up, then you will see the second light under the on button then when you hit this button it takes about four seconds to brew. I have my three ounce mugs under it to catch the great espresso. You can also make other drinks, I do not bother since I just take my espresso as it is with nothing in it I like mine very strong.

The foil isn't removed to begin with. But yes you can make espresso. You would just have to buy the espresso pods and press the espresso button

hmm not sure, all i know is you have to have the machine on for atleast 30 mins before getting a hot cup of espresso

Actually, if you want to keep the steam going you have to hold it. To start the steam you push the button till becomes blue..it takes a few seconds. It is not that convenient...besides that, the machine makes a great espresso...and I am Italian so picky with good coffee :)

You can "train" the machine to the brew the strength of coffee you want.Technically, yes. But you have to train it, which is nothing more than holding the button of your choice to the level in the cup with the appropriate capsule.

Yes, you can do that. The other option that you have is to simply press the carafe (or single serve) button when you have the amount you desire (just a moment before actually to give the machine time to respond) and the brewing will stop then too.

NO, We use it to make one cup all the time. Use the larger basket and only one scoop of espressco coffee. The reason you use the large basket is so the coffee does not stick to the top of the machine. We use it mostly for cappuccino but espresso is great also. Be sure to wait till it gets a crema of top of either cappuccino or espresso. we love this machine. We have used very expensive units and this works the best and for the price :) it can't be beat. Good luck!!!

No, it's a frappuccino machine, not an espresso machine. You can use espresso grounds and blend it without using ice I guess, but that won't make a quality hot latte. It makes really good cold drinks.

cappuccino, too. there are four buttons. Cappuccino Espresso Large and small = 2 buttons Latte Macchiato - Large and small = 2 buttons There is a knob that controls the amount of milk you like in your latte - It is a great machine.

I can't see why you wouldn't be able to. I don't have an espresso machine but I was under the impression that you used ground coffee.

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.

Not as fine as espresso. But pretty fine. If you're getting it ground by someone or grinding it yourself there should be a French press setting.

You only need a tamper if you are making espresso. This machine is NOT espresso machine. However, it makes fantastic strong coffee.
