I hope you don't have to measure anything for just an espresso or americano, do you?

Seems to defeat the whole simpleness of the machine!

I was hoping it was a case of - switch on, insert pod, press button, drink.

Sorry I'm making it sound over complicated.
Pop pod in, flick level, water gets flowing. Just got to turn it off manually.
Different drinks take different amounts of water, so it's just a matter of flicking it off at your preference.

I like mine though, still just trying to figure out how to measure the water.

Other owners how do you do yours?
50ml here, 120ml there.... Is there a method?
I use the proper cups (Latte Macchiato glasses or Cappuccino cups) and use the levels from the box as a guide for 2 pod drinks.

Currently loving the Caffe Crema Grande and noticed they now have Vanilla Latte Macchiato on the site

Good call, I'm gonna get the cups soon I see one set is half price on the dolce site at the mo. My free points cover a pair of cappuccino cups.

Not that reliably A real macchiato would be a double espresso and a little frothed milk - this is more latte (milk) than anything else.
