If you add pre-ground coffee (decaf) into the funnel area can you make a drink that uses milk such as the latte or are you restricted to coffee?

You can always heat milk up separately and add the coffee to it. So, it might be two-touches.....not a big deal. Either way, this machine makes AMAZINGLY good coffee.

Push the coffee button and when the coffee has been dispensed, move your cup to the Cappuccino area on the right, rotate the dial to dispense milk and push the button in the middle of the dial to start hot milk/foam flow, which will continue until the same button is pushed to manually stop the flow. Enjoy.

You need to add the coffee after it brews. This machine does not combine steamed milk w coffee or espresso at the same time

Yes you can. But the little part that holds the coffee grounds is VERY small. I don't even use mine because of that.

Yes you can, I am an expert on commercial coffee machines and I have to say that this little machine is really not bad. Not to be compared with one of the big ones like Saeco but what comes out, can be strong and pretty good. Only thing it is a little messy but that is the handle system. It is certainly a step towards the big ones until one can afford it. You can make a regular cup of coffee by using the double filter and let it run two cycles with the same powder. or the single filter and one double cycle. If you want a stronger one press the coffee powder good in the filter but careful not too much and not too high so that the filter has problems going in its place. AR

I haven't used milk in it. It gets sweeter the longer it steeps, it doesn't need anything added to it. They also make it in a decaf form. If you go to the Harney and Son's website, they might have a better answer for your question. It is also sometimes available at Target.

Yes, depending on what type of coffee you want, you sometimes need more than one disc. From what I can tell, the milk is more a liquid pasteurized milk product (it doesn't need refrigeration). It has a slightly different taste than normal milk I think. There is a different milk pod for lattes and cappucinos. It's convenient and if you're like me and don't drink milk (and any milk you buy goes bad before you use it up).

Yes. You can adjust how much water is used in that single shot as well. In addition, you can make a latte using another button. I've had my machine for over a year and I highly recommend!

I like my coffee drinks with sugar. I pour the coffee out of the maker into my mug, holding back the foam with a spoon, and then stir in sugar. After the sugar is dissolved, I scoop the foam onto the coffee with the spoon. Any finely ground, dark roast coffee would be fine, but I usually use espresso.

Yes. At first I thought the milk seemed luke warm. Then I found a solution. Simply heat your coffee cup! Fill your coffee cup with very hot water and let it sit while you prepare your drink. Then dump the water out of your cup before adding espresso and milk. Piping hot latte every time!

Yes, you may put your favorite coffee. I don't fill it to the brim. I use the scoop that came with the keurig and the grounds stay in the filter and not in my coffee. This filter is better than the cheaper ones because when I use the cheap ones there is a lot of sediment at the bottom of my coffee cup.

I use espresso grind, not the finest. It depends on how strong you wish your coffee to be, you can use any kind but the finer grinds give you a stronger coffee. Also, the milk does not get hot in the top, just warm unless you start with warm milk.

I drink the Organo Gold cafe noir which is just plain instant coffee. I add half and half but don't like sugar.The reason I am drinking it it because it was recommended by by cardiologist. It has less caffeine than regular decaf . It's fine but not like drinking regular coffee:-) but, if you can't have regular it is a good substitute!

Before you plunge, just add the milk and sugar. I must admit to not adding sugar but it works for the milk

you might find you get better results overall if you use a small pitcher for the espresso and then add it into the cup after you have your milk in there (I don't have these cups, I just love coffee :D )

I do because I use milk in my coffee. You wouldn't have to. Its a good drink.

Using this product is a great alternative when you run out of those prepackaged coffee packs. You can use any ground coffee with this product, just make sure you don't over fill the basket to where the lid wont close. I hope this answers your question.

Can you? Sure, with a refillable basket. But...the coffee might be the color of dirty dish soap and have no coffee flavor.It's a question of water contacting the maximum surface area of the coffee. Whole bean (grain) coffee should only be long steeped, if you choose to use it. Which means: not the machine for you.Or, Handyman Corner time: zip lock baggy and a hard sole shoe. Shoes: not just for opening wine bottles.

Add less coffee and water to make as much coffee as you like. You can even add half decaf and half caffeinated if you are trying to cut back on caffeine . You'll need to experiment with it.
