Although there are ads that says Keurigs can make espresso shots, actually it cannot. It isn't designed to make espresso drinks since there is not enough pressure for espresso making but that does not mean you cannot get the same concentrated taste similar to that of an espresso. When using a Keurig to make a coffee similar to an espresso drinks is to make the coffee drink as concentrated as possible. This means, using a dark roast coffee pod. Set Keurig machine to brews the smallest cup (6 oz.) so that it will result to a more concentrated dark coffee. Though not an espresso, but more like an espresso like coffee that none of the regular coffee's can.
