Does it grind beans and take pods?

Yes. It has a built-in grinder for fresh beans and also accepts pods, so you can switch between the two.

How big is the water tank?

The tank holds 8.8 fl oz, which is small for an espresso machine. Expect to refill it after a few shots, especially with milk drinks.

Yes. It has a steam wand for frothing milk for lattes and cappuccinos.

No. It is semi automatic: you control the grind, dose and shot, so it takes some practice.

Buyers who want a grinder and espresso maker in one retro-styled unit and mostly make one or two drinks at a time.

It ships with the standard espresso accessories for its portafilter, including filter baskets. Check the box contents for the exact set.
