Elite Auto-Tamp Espresso Machine With Grinder and Frother Semi-Automatic 15 Bar Italian Pump 2-Cup Silver/Stainless

If you want a 10 oz serving of coffee-style drink: Espresso + hot water: You can pull a double shot of espresso (e.g., 2–3 oz) and then add hot water to reach ~10 oz. Which is essentially an Americano. Many semi-automatic machines let you add hot water manually or through a hot water function.

Yes this machine does have a hot water function. It includes a hot water/steam selector dial — when you turn the dial to the hot-water position, the machine will deliver hot water through the hot water outlet until you return the dial to standby.
