can the amount expressed be adjusted to larger than espresso size cups?

What I do Sherry is boil water in a pot and make a Americano with espresso shot. illy also sells a shot that is called a lungo which is approximately a double espresso shot. I hope this helps. I do love this Machine! Yes, it is time consuming to make an Americano/cup of coffee one shot at a time but it taste better than any coffee you ever had:) Happy Holidays!

I am no sure exactly what you mean, but I will try to help you out. 1) If your order the "lungo" illy capsules (blue can), the amount of liquid will be double, meaning, it will yield a "double espresso". You cannot fit this amount of liquid in an espresso cup because it would spill over. You would have to use a cappuccino cup for that. 2) You CAN fit a cappuccino cup, which is bigger than an espresso cup, in this machine. What you CANNOT do is fit a coffee mug in this machine. A coffee mug is much too tall to fit under the coffee capsule holder/lever. If you want to percolate more coffee (several capsules), you can use a frothing stainless steel or porcelain jug (ie. from crate and barrel) but it would have to be shorter than a regular coffee mug to fit. Hope this helps....

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.

You need to measure the ones you are using now and reorder accordingly. These are appropriate for 10 cup; the 12 cup need the larger size.

I don't have a Keurig. However, I found these cups to be too small for a double shot s espresso.

Hi! Hey, you can use any size you want! Personally, I use a 10 oz. porcelain cup, I let it fill half way with espresso, then I add hot water from the wand, for a plain Americano. Less water, the richer your drink. As long as you have the "go" button on, it will continue to dispense, though gradually the brew will lighten in color and flavor. How's that? If all you want is the Traditional Espresso, then you would serve it up in a 4 oz,cup.Straight.

Yes, I think this easily approximates cafe americano--there are knobs that adjusts 1) the volume of the coffee you want (maybe ranging from 1 oz. to 4 oz.) and 2) the strength of the coffee (I assume it adjusts the amount of grounds used). If you turn both up to the maximum and hit the button for 2 shots rather than 1, I suspect you would get something approximating an americano--a decent-sized and almost espresso-intensity beverage.

This machine will make espresso, long coffee, cappuccino and latte macchiato - plus milk can be adjusted. For more info I can recommend the Nespresso web page :)

Oh yes, you can. There are three settings for concentration of beans and three more settings for how much water. And you can match those six buttons up any which way you want. A cup of ristretto would be made by using the most concentrated beans and the least amount of water. An espresso would be made by using the little bit larger amount of water. A "regular cup of coffee" would use the largest volume of water. The largest amount of pre-programmed water is about 6 ounces. You can easily re-program the machine to give you even more water. (We've not tried to do that, but I just checked it out in the instruction booklet.) Besides the six settings on the machine, you can also change the strength of the coffee by your choice of coffee bean. Where we buy our beans--Peet's--they offer a complete range of "strengths": More robust, less robust, milder, medium, etc. (you get the picture). But, bottom line: The fact that you can pour in ONE kind of bean and each person can immediately create their own preference by hitting one button from the grind category and one other button from the water volume category, is the reason our family loves this machine. I can pour in some beans, then make a single shot of espresso, then my husband can follow me immediately and make a "regular" cup of joe. I totally understand your concerns: Because you might not always want an espresso; you might want a cup of coffee to go along with your bacon, eggs and toast. And, very definitely, you can have both with this machine. Just comment to my review if you have any other questions; I do read comments to my reviews and I'm always happy to answer any questions.

I have a Bialetti Venus 2 cup Stainless Steel Espresso Maker, the filter fits fine but the gaskets were slightly too big. They didn't fit. Plus the item that I received only had 2 gaskets instant of 3. So I returned the item.

Espresso extraction should be around 9bar. There is an adjustable valve inside the machine, preset to around 12 bar to handle coffe pods, which require a higher pressure. If you are not considering the pods, you can regulate it to 9bar (google 'gaggia opv mod' for how to do it). So, it does not matter much whether 15 or what not.

No. Just fill to how many cups you want. Had it for awile now and love it for the value.

mine, also Italian, has 019 on the bottom, inside the lid 1111 and 11 and kmai-2--yours could be for demi tasse, not american size coffee, do you s'pose? what do you mean ,,"ordered a 3 cup filter but it is too small. Is this a 6 cup".??? get in touch directly with Bialetti would be the best idea.

You'll need to make the translation from 'cups of coffee' demarcations on the settings to '3 ounces'. There's no in between.

The one that comes with the machine or your choice of the same size. Maybe the size is on the listing. I bought this as a gift so I cannot remember the exact size of the cup.

Almost. They are just a fraction too small, but can still do the job. They are just loose when you take it apart to clean/empty. I've been using this on mine and it still makes the espresso fine.

You can use any size cup you want, just adjust your coffee for the right strength

Just over 2" high - demi-tasse size for espresso coffee. Good quality, but a bit pricey.

I hope you found the right cup. If so do let me know which one did you choose as I have a new Barista machine with similar size constraints.
