Are 'ANY' K-cups equal to ESPRESSO?

this is the strongest i can find, and i wouldn't say it comes that close to espresso. Caffeine level is almost there if you make a small cup but for taste you just cant get that without an espresso maker. you can mix this Barista Prima Coffeehouse, Italian Dark Roast, 24- Count K-Cup Portion Count for Keurig Brewers with it... thats almost espresso.

Getting closer to expresso. After searching high and low. This is as close as your going to get. Brew the small size at the highest temp your k cup. Enjoy

I'm not sure if it's espresso,but jet fuel has a nice bite to it.i like the taste and at .61 cents a cup.i bet it's cheaper than espresso.jet fuel will make you stand up and walk talk.

I don't think equal. But once you try jet fuel you will love it. But only if you like a good bold coffee. I buy it all the time. Can't do without it. I'm sure you will to.

If you make Jet fuel on the smallest cup setting it is very close to espresso and it is very strong with lots of flavor.

I have not found any that are equal to espresso, but the jet fuel is great!

Are you talking about a refillable filter? If the answer is yes, then Keurig offers a K-cup filter.

Keurig has two different machines. One takes K-cups and the other takes Vue cups which are a different size and shape. The two are not interchangeable.

Yes, the espresso roast k-cup can be used in the regular Keurig coffee maker. I used it just as if was a regular k-cup.

There are big differences in the machines. The Keurig is essentially a *coffee* machine. It makes a standard cup of coffee. Yes, it can do flavors, and there are dozens and dozens of different varieties, but it is pretty much limited to straight coffee. (There's a hot cocoa K-cup, but it's made by Green Mountain. You know how famous Green Mountain is for their hot cocoa? They're not. There's a reason.) With that much variety, you're just about assured of finding a coffee to your taste. The brewing cycle is optimized for straight coffee (though there is some flexibility there). Temperature is sometimes an issue; some people find the coffee not quite hot enough. The Tassimo, on the other hand, has far fewer varieties of coffee, but a much greater range of beverage TYPES. It makes latte, cappuccino (regular or skinny), espresso, chai tea lattes, hot chocolate, black and green teas. It makes a nice three-level latte macchiato. The temperature of the finished product is higher, and it has Starbucks pods that taste very much like the real thing. But in general, it probably does not do straight coffee quite as well as a Keurig, and there are certainly many fewer bean types, roast types, and flavors for the Tassimo. We finally decided on a Tassimo, and we love it. And that's something you'll generally find to be true no matter what you buy. It's been our experience that unless you're a coffee connoisseur (in which case, neither machine beats the more labor-intensive brewing methods), you will probably be happy with either machine.

No the pods are different. The pods for the Tassimo come in a silver bag latte cappuccino's all of that will have a milk pod and then the espresso pod. A tip that I found that works well when your Plus sign light comes on tap it to completely empty the milk pod. 10 times better then Keurig

No, K-cups will not work. There are 3rd party refillable cups you can purchase, but otherwise you are limited to Nespresso cups. A razor/razor blade relationship.

If you have the 2.0 Keurig, you need to get a Freedom Clip so you can use all forms of k-cups including this one. One comes free with every order of San Francisco Bay OneCup, Donut Shop Blend, 36 Single Serve Coffees (Packaging May Vary) or free from their website.

Yes! I have ecobrew and ez-cup re-usable style cups and have used both within this last 3 days. I gave my 4 year old Cuisinart Keurig away and purchased the K75 this week. I have used both styles but prefer the EZ-cup with filter. Works great. Don't confuse this machine with the new "2.0 Keurigs", as they do not allow for refilables, so I have read in several places.

No Nespresso machines only use Nespresso pods, they do not use k cups. The system is totally different.

Yes, the ESE pods are for this type of Espresso machine that says it takes pods.

No, they do not use either Keurig k-cups or any other standard k-cup. You have to use the exclusive Vue cups which are not easy to find. They are also much more expensive than the k-cups, but the coffee is better.

Generally pods can be used with espresso machines if there is an appropriate and associated pod filter. The BES870XL Barista Express does not come with a pod filter. It is highly recommended that pods not be used on this espresso machine.

You should should an espresso grind. Illy makes very good espresso grinds. The black Illy is the best. I don't use k cups (?) or pods and not sure if you can use them with this machine, but the description of the machine should tell you that. Or, contact Krups.

Also - if you want / need something designed to work with K-cups, you'd be best off getting an actual Keurig. We have one of those as well - very nice machine.

It all depends on the k-cup (type of coffee) you purchase. I use Bustelo Expresso K-cups and the coffee is delicious
