How many cups of espresso does it make ?

Does not make espresso. It is just a steamer. We only steam milk for one or two lattes at a time but it holds plenty of water to do many more.

I'm not sure what you mean by making expresso with a steamer, but here goes:I make cappuccino from either ground expresso or ground regular coffee in a drip coffee maker. I use a 20 ounce frothing cup with about one quarter to one third cup of either skim or regular milk (the fat in regular milk gives more froth). I use a stove-top frother.In this manner I usually make two 8 ounce cups of cappuccino.I hope this helps.

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.

Amy, personally I am not a fan of espresso or extremely strong coffee. I make 10-cups every morning using 1 3/4 heaping Tablespoons of regular coffee grounds, and it's just right for me (probably about a 3+ on the scale). Five heaping tablespoons of coffee to 10-cups of water, would be way to strong for me. Hope this helps. Good luck! V.T.

I would say that it makes two-three cups, but it depends upon your cup size. I purchased it for my personal use, not for inviting a large group. It is great for my needs.

There is a single and a double sized cup. The single holds the amount of coffee necessary to make one shot of espresso. Obviously, the double makes two. Oz. wise - that depends on if you like a higher or lower concentration of coffee when you make espresso.

When they say 6 cups they mean 6 really small espresso cups. one pot fills about a Starbucks grande cup.

It means 6 espresso-sized (demitasse) cups. I have been able to make, at most, a tad over 8 oz. of coffee by filling the water just above the pressure valve and importantly, lowering the gas flame once the water is boiling, thus getting the largest cup without triggering the pressure valve. And not to be too geeky, this is not strictly espresso which is made at 7 or maybe 9 bars of pressure, while the Venus can only manage 1.5 bars of pressure (just boiling water pressure). I have found it to be a great alternative to Melita filter coffee (too weak and bitter for my personal taste) and to real espresso (expensive machines, small amounts of fantastic coffee). The Venus provides me with almost enough volume of smooth, strong coffee (I also had to try different roasts to find my preference - smooth Mocha-Java beans and strong Espresso-Forte beans mixed together). Highly recommended.

We purchased the 6 cup model. It actually produces approximately 1 2/3 cups of coffee. Why they call it 6 cup I have no idea.

We make a 12 oz cup of coffee. You need to select that special size of disk. If you want to make a latte, it makes up to an 8 oz cup of coffee.

When I received the 3 cup pot in the mail, I realized it was too small for the amount of espresso that my husband & I drink in the morning. It makes approximately 3/4 cup of espresso total, which is less than the two of us is willing to share. I sent it back and ordered the 6 cup size instead and it makes about 1 1/2 cups when finished and then we add milk or cream to make it a larger cup. The 6 cup pot is NOT large but the perfect size for the two of us. It makes like 8-12 oz of coffee.

Just espresso. It makes three cup sizes: Ristretto, Espresso and Lungo. The largest is Lungo, around 2 oz, although you can program the volume you want.

I have made a small 4oz cup in it using regular grounds but it is much better for making espresso or cappuccino you will have to play with the amount of coffee you use two scoops is going to be strong I used 1/2 scoop. If you like regular coffee I suggest you look as one of the small one or two cup coffee makers.

yeah, it's true and pretty funny. I have one that half this size too, and sure enough they call it a 3 cup maker. Espressos are pretty tiny! I don't let that stop me from having 5.3 oz daily, however. You shouldn't either. It makes delicious coffee, I think.

I've never really measured it, but I'd say it only makes about 8-10 oz of coffee at a time (maybe a bit more). I can generally make 2 very strong espresso drinks per pot. The "6-Cup" description is referring to cups of espresso, not 8 oz cups. Hope that helps.

You can make 5 to 7 cups easily. Personally, I find it does best when making 5 cups.

This makes excellent espresso! This easily makes two very large "shots" of espresso. We easily make two drinks with it, keeping in mind that an espresso shot is considerably smaller then a cup of coffee.

Yes, just one. And its colors were more faded than I expected. More so than the espresso cups of the same style. Different brand, I think.
