Yes, absolutely, in the end you can conjure up a Long Black or Americano with one or two espresso shots and hot water from the milk frother. Café Creme would be an Americano for me, it's never advisable to make a Café Creme from a portafilter. I prefer the long black version. In the end, both are variants that are diluted with hot water.
I'm very happy with the machine, I've owned it for a year now.
