A:Answer Kinda sorta. If you buy an espresso roast coffee or k-cup, it will come extremely close to a legit, tightly-packed, pressure-pumped espresso if you use the Specialty setting. If you're a purist, just know that this doesn't build up the pressure as a dedicated espresso machine does so you may be disappointed. I can't tell the difference if using a k-cup, but a connoisseur maybe can. Using grounds is a bit more obvious since it's only a gravity-fed drip that's being used to make the coffee.
