does it make single shot of espresso?

You have complete control of amount, type, strength, of coffee selected using any of four buttons. Two for coffee...two for milk. Very simple to use.

No, just espresso based drinks. You can however make an americano with this machine. Just add hot water to your espresso shots. Hope this helps.

It is designed to make espresso and lattes. I haven't tried it, but I imagine you could insert one espresso pod and give it two shots of hot water. I'm totally hooked on espresso and really don't drink regular coffee anymore.

I have always done two shots for one large cappuccino. I assume you could do just one but the markings on the carafe are for two and for four shots. I do not see why you could not adjust it. And no, it does not grind the coffee. It is quite a simple machine: it does regular coffee or espresso (and steams milk).

It is as manual as it gets. A lot of it is intuitive since the ready light is not a true indicator. At times the temperature got higher than ideal that it scolded the taste. Better have the espresso grounds ready Head of time. In my experience, it would take about 5-7 minutes for 6 shots.

If you are just pulling a shot of espresso it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. If you are making two capuccino's it will take about 15 minutes because it looses pressure/steam pretty quickly. The machines sucks, sorry for your purchase.

I don't think this machine is made to continue making shots back to back. We tried it a couple of times when we had visitors and it took longer the second time.. Once we made our coffee, we had to wait about 5 min before we can start making the next round... After entertains our guest numerous times, the machine started going slower.. In my opinion the expresso machine is pretty good, however, just for two.. Hope this helps.

Immediately pressing the button again after first pressing it to brew just simply pauses the brew. After using a capsule once, technically you could brew a second time with it - but please don't. The capsules are made for single use and the second brew wouldn't taste right. I always want a larger cup of coffee, so I typically use 2 capsules and fill my cup with 2 of the "double espresso" (aka the larger button of the two size options). This comes out to about the size of a typical American cup of coffee - but stronger!

Yes this WILL make espresso........you would have to use ESPRESSO beans instead. I ONLY use espresso beans.

It's going to be more than the typical single shot. My Racillio holds 1/3 the grounds that this one holds. So, you're using more coffee, but the shot is infinitely better.

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.

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

Yes. There is a selector switch on top of the coffeemaker that allows you to brew a single cup of coffee or two cups at once.

I believe it can only make single cookies, as it works by pressing it down on your surface (ie, cold cookie sheet) and pressing the handle. It's not a gun-style 'shooter' in the traditional sense.

No. It just does one cup at a time. We love it because we have a lot of people who are all particular about their coffee.

Caft? I never heard the word, looked it up: no results. AS for the machine: It broke, it just stopped working and then the espresso exploded (!) for no reason. Just don't buy it, You will be so much better off buying the cheap standalone espresso maker and a separate coffee maker.

It doesn't technically make espresso, because it can't build that many bars of pressure. It basically makes something sort of between espresso and coffee, so it's kinda like a strong coffee (hence the term 'moka'). I wrote a lengthy review on this product that includes instructions and tips, but here are some highlights: What I have found to be the best way, and also what Bialetti's website recommends, is to grind your coffee a step above espresso grind (so the lower end of fine drip) and then put it on the stove at LOW heat with the lid open. That takes about 11 minutes for me, so I set a timer for ten minutes so I am sure to be back in my kitchen in time (because once it starts brewing, it brews quickly and you want to remove it from the stove in time so the gasket doesn't burn). If it takes more than 13 minutes to brew on low heat, then your grind is likely too fine and it's having trouble building enough pressure to percolate (and it will probably taste a little burnt). If it takes 7-10 minutes on low heat, your grind is not fine enough. Do leave the lid open during brewing, both so you can see when the coffee brews and to avoid it burning. Don't use high heat, because you will very likely burn your coffee and the percolation spout (I call it a coffee volcano) could spew coffee outside of the pot and onto your stove. The handle should not be getting hot during brewing. I like to use an organic medium roast coffee bean. I've brewed some good coffee with dark beans as well, but mokapot coffee is so strong to start with that I find darker roasts are a little to rich for me.
