What coffee should I buy with this machine?

I just use a good espresso coffee - (drip grind) - LaVazza is good but any good espresso will do.

I have found that the best brew from an espresso machine comes from a very finely ground coffee in whatever roast you prefer. Almost any grocery or Costco has a bean grinder where you can set the grind to suit your preference. I prefer a very dark roast, particularly the Espresso roast from Peets.

I do believe you have to purchase the illy espresso pods which are around 14 bucks. It may come with a few but I suggest buying a box of them to go along. I hope that was helpful:)

I use the delonghi ec702 and The coffee has a good taste. I use two for double expresso but I am Italian and I like strong expressos. Lol you can get good coffee with 1 too.

Nope, not at all. Try the Dark Brazilian or the Tiger Nebula. I love this companies coffees. They also sell a french roast.

I don't. Afte using a variety of coffee makers, I switched to a Tassimo and actually upgraded to another Tassimo. Since you are actually buying the discs you use, if you are on a budget this might not be a great choice. But it provides great tasting coffee every day.

okay i'm replying to an old post and you probably bought one already. if you like and drink more frothy drinks, then gusto, if you like more coffee, keurig. easier to find pods for keurig also. gusto coffee doesn't taste that good. more variety with keurig.

Yes. Buy I DON'T recommend buying it from amazon! The sell used. I purchased that coffee machine and received the used one. I sent it back for the replacement and got second one that was even more used!

Go to Google and type in "coffee pods". I buy from Coffe Wiz. Good price and selection.

I like strong coffee too, so the Cuisinart will do it ~ but you must get good beans. I like the French Roast from Costco,.

With all due respect, as a real coffee drinker instant coffee does not even come in my house. You need a fine grind absolutely not the ground coffee for a regular old coffee machine; water just runs through the grains rather than sit on it and slowly drip through. It's needs to be fine (not Turkish coffee fine but close). You can buy any coffee you like, Joe's brand or Starbucks, whatever. I buy the Seattle Mountain brand Colombian Supremo at Costco. It's a 100% Arabica bean. Excellent. Also comes in decaf if you so desire. Grind at Costco machines at "fine" setting, I believe 4 steps away from the left. I'm pretty picky about my coffee because I drink only 3 small cups a day so it has to be good! Good luck. Also' I vacuum pack and freeze my coffee as as I get home since I'm the only coffee drinker in this house. I make bags of approx. 250gr (about 8 oz) and keep in freezer. I keep the "in use" coffee in airtight container.

Any brand of ground coffee you like. I love this coffee maker. Its perfect because all I drink is a couple of cups in the morning. Its compact so it doesn't use much counter space.

If you are looking for a one cup, similar type of coffee, get an Aeropress. Well worth it.

any coffee can be used. That is what I don't like about Keurig as you have to use the premade pod or use the contraption to make your own pod which is messy. It says no filter is necessary but I use filters size #2. Otherwise it will have some sediment.

I use any coffee and grind it fine ( or buy it already ground). As long as you don't grind it too small there is no problem. I usually get a dark, deep roasted espresso like one. I hope this helps.

For the second part.. any coffee is fine. It does a fine job on any. You may want to use a bit less than normal. Tends to make maximum use of the coffee.

I don't know I bought this as a gift for my sister. She loves it and he coffee it makes. I am sure you could probaly find that info on thier web site or maybe if you call them. I will tell you the coffees are not available at least in my area expect by mail order. I get them from bed bath and beyond. I always use a 20% off coupon and they offer free shipping on them. I am sure you can buy them on amazon as well. I did a lot of research before I bought this machine and it has lived up to its reputation as a good one.

I would buy directly from Nespresso and join the club. They have a machine for $100. same pump in all machines.
