I just got a new espresso machine and it only can make espresso from pods. I’m used to grinding, tamping and pulling my own shots. But my question is can I pull more than 1 shot with 1 espresso pod? I usually pull 3 shots of espresso for my drinks (combined with milk). I guess I just want to know if I should pull 3 shots from 3 pods or can I pull multiple shots from 1 pod? Thanks, take care.

Are you one of the many people around Australia that has a passion for drinking coffee? Nowadays coffee is not only regarded as a drink that is used to help wake you up in the morning, or give you a boost of energy during the day when you need it most. Coffee is fast becoming a popular beverage that people go out to drink on a social basis. Many people actually schedule their days around going for a coffee with their friends, or even having one after a meal. The growth of coffee use and production has boomed in Australia.

Today Australian coffee is gaining a name for itself as one of the finest quality coffee in the world. It’s unique qualities and taste have people searching for Australian coffee not just in Australia but around the world. Because of Australia’s particular micro climatic conditions, the coffee is naturally low in caffeine and is noted for its sweetness, medium body, and chocolate/nutty flavours, this is a major advantage for many people who want to drink the coffee without the effects of what caffeine on your body. Australian coffee is also one of the most naturally produced coffee’s around the world because of the low use of pesticides on the crops.

At-home coffee consumption is witnessing a strong demand for high quality roast coffee as consumers are seeking to replicate the quality that they seem to get when visiting a specialised coffee shop. According to a recent survey, retail coffee sales in Australia grossed $752 million and ranked second, only behind Singapore, in per capita coffee consumption amongst the Asian economies.

should i let it brew until it fills a 6 oz cup, or stop after 1 oz (a “shot”), then am I wasting the rest or do I not want that extra 5oz?

also, what’s the diff. between running the brew for 6oz, and making an “americano” but adding hot water to 1oz of espresso?

I like coffee to be piping hot. I tried Senseo. 5 different Mr. Coffee machines, GE, Perculators, even a $100 Bunn. They all make coffee that is only warm to me. So who is really happy with their coffee maker? What is the hotest brand out there. You can tell I’m very into my coffee. It is the first thing I care about in the morning, and I have about 8-10 cups a day, so its only natural that I want it my way.
I suspect that the manufacturers produce their machines to work with lower temperature water for safety reasons. But all elecrtic kettles, stoves and ovens go to propper temps. Why should my coffee suffer? Do I need to pay $250 for a commercial brewer?
Thank you for your time on this.
