Does it work only with prepackaged coffee like those that come with it?

There's an optional adapter for regular coffee but i haven't tried it. i've only used the k-cups.

You can get a separate filter basket (it's a metal mesh filter, no paper involved) and put your own coffee in that. To me, it's never as satisfying as the pods, however.

You can get a refillable type cup in which you can put regular coffee or even coffee that you grind yourself. Cup may not be the best word buy I don't know a better word to describe the container.

No you can buy something to put your own coffee in and then put that in the keurig maker. But if you look around you can get the k-cups filled for a really good price. I tried both ways and eventually bought keurig k-cups green mountain 50 for $29.00 through Amazon.

Any keurig k cup or you can buy a small filter that you can fill on your own. https://m.bedbathandbeyond.com/bedbathbeyond/product/detail.do?itemId=18168952&cat;egoryId=&path;=&notinregularhierarchy;=false&comeFromSearch;=true

No, if you buy the filter (cost approx. $10.00 and purchased through any of the coffee companies or even Amazon I think)) you can switch from K-cups to regular ground coffee. I have the filter and switch back and forth depending if I run out of K-cups. It is easily interchangeable, slip one out slip the other in, as easy as that.

No, you can buy a Keurig or generic adapter which allows you to use ground coffee.

Yes, this model is the K-cup brew system. However, you could choose to use the Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter that can be purchased separately so you can grind your own coffee beans and fill it yourself each time. Be sure you purchase the correct one as: Keurig My K-Cup Replacement Coffee Filter Set fits B30 B40 B50 B60 B70. Here is the Amazon link for it - Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter (Single)

It comes with an adaptor & you can by plastic & mesh cups to use your own coffee. I have the adaptor and the cups but have not tried them yet. I have not found any sugar-free hot chocolate and plan to try the Swiss Miss with Splenda. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. That's the machine I have. Keeps coffee close and ready for action

I have one and it works great. I also buy whole bean coffee and grind it extra fine and don't have to buy the expensive pods...hope this helps you.

No; it works great in that regard. I've been using the thing every day (at least once a day); mostly for cold brew, but also for hot French Press when I need an extra boost. It's been great.

It works great with using your own coffee or even tea (leaves) it works ok with using the k-cups,sometimes they don't brew so great but if your purpose for it is using loose coffee it's great

It works with powdered substances like coffee creamer, However; the rising steam from hot brew gums up the mechanism quicker, a quick sweep with a small sharp instrument to dislodge clumps works for me.

No. This machine only uses the iperEspresso capsules. There are other machines that can use either the capsules or ground coffee.

No. The grinder operates for a set time to grind a specific quantity of beans. Even if the amount of pre-ground coffee that went through the grinder was correct, the angle of the inlet from the hopper is quite shallow and I doubt the pre-ground coffee would even slide into the grinder.

Absolutely. However, if you are using a coffee grinder for the coffee it does not work with the refillable cups that are screen only. Those would require a paper filter in the Kcup also. I have not tried it with store-bought coffee that is already ground. The grinder we have in our office grinds the beans so fine that the ground coffee ends up in your cup, seeping through the screen filter of the refillable Kcup.

Whatever your favorite brand is. That was why I bought it. I didn't like the prepackaged coffees that were available. You have to empty the grounds, so it is not quite as convenient, but less costly.

Pre-ground coffee does work. I've had this for several years now and have experimented with different grinds. My findings? The bigger the better. There is no filter, though, so there are some super fine bits that get through the mesh regardless of the level of coarseness used. I haven't been bothered by it at all. They are so fine I can't actually feel them when I drink the brew, but I see some "heavier coffee" in the bottom of my last cup. Not bothered by it.

No it doesn't but most travel mugs or coffee mugs work. I am very pleased with this coffee brewer. Marilyn

It ONLY works with ground coffee. You open the top and put in a small coffee filter, then your ground coffee. I believe the instructions say 4 tablespoons (double check your own to confirm) but I usually just put an amount that looks like "enough" to me. It's not exactly rocket surgery.

I use both regular K Cups and the Reusable style (add your own ground coffee). Works great.

Yes it does. Have used several, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. All worked fine.

Yes it does. I adjusted my grind to fine to release the intense flavor of the coffee beans. It did exactly that.

If you mean pre ground coffee, yes you can add a measured amount of ground coffee to the hopper in the bean area, also you can vary the amount of water to achieve the same result. Its called an Americana. Hope that helps.
