A:AnswerI would say malfunctioning. I am returning my second machine because the lights that are supposed to blink while heating are not and it is only making me about 1 ounce of espresso, not a full cup. Had the same issues with the first machine. Looking in to different machine now. Over it
A:AnswerYou CAN buy pre-ground espresso, but it's better to grind your own right before use. A burr grinder is best for that. Alternatively, since this unit includes a "pod filter", you can buy pre-made "pucks" called E.S.E. (easy serve espresso) for those times you don't want to grind and tamp your grounds.
A:AnswerI don't think so, Kyle. I'm very handy and understand what you're trying to do. You may be able to do it for the espresso side reservoir, though you'd have to remove the cover and it wouldn't look nice. On the coffee pot side, you can't do it. The reservoir is accessed only through the swivel container (for lack of a better description). Good thought though.
A:AnswerNo. I wouldn’t recommend it. Go with the Hot / Cold Brew system from Ninja. It has a frother for cappuccinos. It’s cheaper and much easier to use.
