- Does the Capresso EC50 have a built-in grinder?
- No. You need a separate burr grinder for fresh grounds; blade grinders give uneven shots.
- Can it brew two espressos at once?
- Yes. The portafilter has two spouts, so you can split a double shot into two cups.
- Does it come with a milk frother?
- Some versions include a plug-in frother; others rely on the steam wand. Check which version you are buying.
- Is it good for a beginner?
- Yes. The programmable shot button and simple layout make it easy to start, though a good grinder matters more than the machine.
- How much counter space does it need?
- About 7.5 inches wide and 11.5 inches deep, plus clearance above for the tank and cup warming area.
- Can you steam milk and brew at the same time?
- No. It is a single-boiler design, so you brew first, then switch to steam and wait for the boiler to recover.
