can this machine make regular drip coffee as well as expresso?

No, it is not a drip machine. Espresso is placed in filter basket and then "screwed" up tight to tamp it (in other words it is self-tamping).

this machine is designed for extracting espresso via pressurized extraction using grounds and also using ese pods. this does not make drip coffee. #bootscoffeebar @bootscoffeebar bootscoffeebar.com

This is really a specialty machine for cappucino, expression and lattes. I would not suggest this if you were looking for a regular cup of coffee

It will make a smooth, flavorable cup of regular coffee. Just grind the beans for a drip coffee machine. The Super Crema Espresso Beans are an Italian roast (medium) rather than a dark roast that is sometimes bitter. Some mornings when time is tight, I make a pot of regular coffee and steam milk for cafe au lait.

It depends what size cup you are making. I don't use it for expresso but rather regular coffee and the portions are very small for that. Using the max amount of water and coffee you get one small U.S. size cup of coffee. It does make it fairly strong so I add plenty of milk and some extra hot water to get a full starbucks size mug of coffee. Coffee tastes great. You can use less coffee and water if you like to get a smaller amount.

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

Hi Jack - yes it does make regular coffee, you can select different sizes from single espresso to an entire cup regular coffee. You can also use ground coffee instead of beans (different compartment), but the quality is definitely nicer when using beans. Hope that helps! My only gripe with this machine is that the coffee is never super hot, just regular hot.

Yes, the machine has a long coffee function which produces an equivalent to a drip machine.

Yes, it does. The machine has setting for standard long coffee and you can change how strong you want the coffee to be (mild, standard, strong, etc)

Absolutely. That's why I bought the Preciso. So I could go from Espresso to press on the same unit. I now own a Baratza Vario. It has a different burr setup and it's not as good for course grind, but most people wouldn't notice the difference.

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.

Yes. I bought this model for that reason. Sometimes a make a cup of 50% espresso & 50% black regular coffee.

Yes, but make sure you're using the round filters made for percolator baskets, obviously. Drip coffee filters won't work.

I have never thought that drip coffee was great. However, I have a good experience with my Cuisinart. The "secret" is that I am using a dark rich "italian roast" that I buy at a high end grocery. I have tried a few "boutique" brands and the italian roach is by far the best. I think the reason is that unlike esspresso machines, the temperature in drip machine is not as high. Therefore, I am using richer coffee to compensate.

NO, NOT REGULAR GROUND COFFEE, You will need to use "ESPRESSO" Which is SUPER FINE GROUND UP COFFEE.

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.

I cannot tell you - you should ask the producer. Know that the machine is not tight - you would have to get used to have little coffee powder in your coffee.
