Traveling to Italy will,it work to make a quick cup of coffee

I would say no. It will keep a cup warm, but doesn't get nearly hot enough or soon enough to heat water. Look for an immersible heater. Of course you have to get a European adapter. If you get this, find a cup with a completely flat bottom, to make contact with the warmer. The little lip on most cups hinders it a lot.

No, it will not MAKE coffee - it is only to keep coffee hot. Furthermore, you will need a voltage adapter to use this outside U.S. Having lived in Germany for several years, I found that our "little useful things" need a lot of help in Europe.

No. It doesn't get that hot. Only keeps your already hot coffee from getting cold.

No, it won't. It's only a warmer, meant to hold the temperature of the liquid that is already hot. Even at that, if you don't immediately put the filled cup on the PRE-HEATED warmer, it will go cold in little time. A possible solution: as soon as the coffee is ready, pour half in the cup you'll use right away and the other half cup on the warmer. When I did that, the coffee stayed quite hot and didn't cool. It probably seems a bit of a hassle when traveling, though. Good luck.

I've never used it for that, but it looks like it would work--except if the coffee is very finely ground, as for expresso.

That would depend on your coffee cup or mug. The machine does not store the coffee, it just brews it and dispenses it into whatever receptical you choose.

The tamper makes it easy to pack the espresso. If you don't pack the espresso the coffee just doesn't brew as well as it should.

You can use any kind of coffee, just grind it fine for expresso or buy espresso ground type.

While it does not make "coffee," you can program the "lungo" setting to a higher volume very easily (you can program all the settings, including milk, to higher or lower volumes). The result is a somewhat weaker "lungo" but it still tastes pretty doggone good.

Definitely. This machine is designed to produce espresso and it has the capability to steam and froth milk. Essentially the French café au lait and the Italian caffè latte is 1/3 espresso to 2/3 steamed milk, or a three ounce double serving espresso to five ounces of steamed milk.There can be a slight learning curve when it comes to frothing the milk. Make sure you are using a fresh and cold skim or 2% milk. Bleed your frothing tube line before lowering it into your frothing pitcher. Water will dilute the milk if line hasn't been bled.

I'm not sure. I returned mine and went back to a Tassimo machine. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords;=tassimo+machine&rh;=n%3A1055398%2Ck%3Atassimo+machine The coffee was luke warm in the Verisimo and it only brewed an 8 oz. cup with no button to add more coffee and no room in machine for a travel mug. Tassimo does cappuccinos too and the Gevalia Dark Roast Italian is my go-to brew again.

It should work for a coffee grinder, but if you are going to China you will need to take a coffee maker as well. The hotel rooms do not have coffee makers.

If you travel with it, it's going to break. You can't just buy one thing for your coffee game. You've got to buy a way to brew it, store it, and transfer it, like a Thermos.

The Verissmo is optimized for 1 oz shots of espresso, so it's not comparable to a Keurig for regular coffee cups. Even making an Americano would probably not suffice....

I use my DeLonghi purely to fix espressos, I guess you could use it to fix a cappuccino too, but it is not suited for a regular cup of coffee as the coffee will be very strong. It is perfect for what you see in the picture - little work, lots of taste!

Short answer - yes. And it will be a very nice cup of coffee. The regular setting is the equivalent of a "normal" cup of coffee, but it is way nicer than your average drip.

If i am using one in Jamaica , you should be able to use a Bold 9700 in Italy.

Yes, it comes with an adapter. We just used the pot in Italy and the pot worked like a charm! My fellow travelers were reduced to hunting for early AM coffee in many cities. We are glad that we got it! We are about to use it here in the US and tried out the adapter. Works fine.

Hi Saida. Yes, this should work in Italy because it's listed as working in the European Union.

Presumably if you place regular coffee grounds in the basket it would brew one cup of regular coffee, perhaps a bit stronger than a conventional brewer
