can Medaglia D'Oro instant Espresso coffee be used in recipies that call for espresso powder

Yes! It's perfect in recipes. The powder is more finely grained than others I've tried so it blends better.

I bought it expressly for that reason. I was making some Kahlua and the recipe called expresso powder. After I did a lot of research and asked friends, this was the recommended brand. It was the perfect addition.

There's plenty room in this machine for you to use any cup you want. However, regular espressos shots are small. I like to use 2 ounces cups half full. So, one shot is 1 ounce. Anyway, you must keep in mind that gourmet espressos are difficult to achieve using a manual espresso machine, but if you succeed, you'll have an amazing espresso (and this machine is able to do that) which is impossible to achieve with an automatic machine.

No. This machine only uses the iperEspresso capsules. There are other machines that can use either the capsules or ground coffee.

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

No, I made that mistake too. You need to buy vertoline capsules for this machine, it has digital markings so the machine is able to determine if it is making coffee or espresso.

If it's in a liquid form you will have to adjust the other liquids in the recipe accordingly. If it is espresso ground coffee then you can substitute. Or use instant coffee, a dark roast, and increase amount by 50%. Hope this helps.

No, not unless you want bad espresso. This is a blade grinder, and will never be able to achieve the consistency required for good espresso. It may be able to make a powder out of some of the particles, but unless the particle size is consistent, the extraction will not be consistent. You need a burr grinder to get more consistent grounds.

You use coffee beans ground specifically for espresso, which is finer than the grind you would use for regular coffee machines. But no, it does not take the pre-filled pods. You measure coffee grinds into the little basket. God bless!

It can grind coffee beans into espresso use fine powder so I think so. I'm not 100% sure though.

I suppose you could, if icing sugar and espresso grind is the same consistency, but I would not be surprised if sugar, being more corrosive than coffee, wears out the burrs faster: http://www.cibtech.org/J%20FOOD%20AGRI%20VETERINARY%20SCIENCES/PUBLICATIONS/2011/Vol%201%20No.%201/17-13-JFAV-Singh.pdf

Yes. I put a tsp of the powder in a mug, then a little hot water to make a thin paste, then slowly add more hot water while stirring well until the mug is full...Great just as it is...Lots of flavor for the Matcha afficianado!

Unfortunately, no. The strongest cup of coffee I've made so far was with fresh-ground beans and the 'gold' coffee pod I bought on Amazon. (Really like that, by the way. You can adjust the coarseness and strength of the grounds.) I haven't tried it with "espresso" beans, but would think you could get a pretty stout cup that way. All of this, of course, pretty much cancels out the 'instant' factor touted by the makers of these machines. And I still think the water needs to be hotter to get good flavor extraction.

I don't see why not. I have never used instant coffee. Instant coffee just needs hot water so it should work fine. Try it and see if you like the coffee. Good luck!

Instant coffee would not work. It would desolve, but it would turn out like regular instant coffee. Regular ground coffee it too course. Chances are, you would get something, but it would be weak. The grind is the thing. It needs to be extra fine for the process to work correctly on pretty much any espresso maker.

I would use it, remembering that it is espresso, of course. I have used it to make iced coffee, like a Frappuccino to fortify weakly brewed coffee.

I believe so I don't use espresso maker but like my coffee ground to a powder............

You could use it in a Cuisnart probably with just one filter but you may not like the flavor as this grind is really made to be used inan espresso maker.
