How do I identify "non-oily beans"?
Hi is making an Americano completely automatic, or do I have to do more to have the shot in hot water, basically?
Can the temperature be controlled on the frother to go hotter or colder and does the frother heat the milk while frothing or does the milk have to already be warmed in microwave before using the frother?
Is there enough room for a regular mug to fit under the spout? Or is the drip tray removable so that larger mugs can be placed under the spout?
Can you just make a regular cup of coffee with this or does it only do smaller espresso shots/coffees?
Best Answer: You can't make a classic cup of drip like your thinking, but you can make a lungo (extra water pulled through an espresso shot) or an americano (hot water added to an espresso shot). I find that americanos have a rounder, sweeter cup than drip coffees.
Hope this helps!

On the Xsmall Vapore, can you adjust the amount of grinds? If not, will you be having the refurbished Saeco Odea Giro with optidose in soon? Thank you, Steve
Can this machine be plumbed?
Reviews
- Great machine with a great valueReview by Trevor
-
I used this machine for about 3 years before I started to run into a leak possibly from the Brew group. But it's easily made a minimum of 3-4 Americanos a day for it's entire life. The only complaint I have is its water tank is small but I knew this going into it. This means it will make 3 Americanos per tank before you gotta refill. I've ran everything from dark to light roasts through it dry and oily (although not recommended) and it's never faulted. I've even had room mates pour pre ground coffee into it not understanding that it doesn't take it and it still would work and make a good coffee. I've loved this machine but the water leaking onto my cabinets has become annoying. I highly recommend the machine regardless especially if you're looking for a great machine that will fit into a tight space. Would make a great gift for someone for Christmas or even a house warming gift!Price Quality Value
The hot water out of the wand works great for teas and hot chocolate and the steam works great for whatever you want to do with it but be cautious as it's initial spray can burn you or scare you especially if you just ran hot water through it before steaming.
The auto clean function is nice but I recommend placing a small cup or bowl under it after every cup as the tray fills up kinda quickly and the little orange float sticks eventually and might not notice about to overflow, plus it helps keep fruit flys from accumulating (Posted on 8/22/2017)
