Can I use my own coffee in a filter pod?

They make things. Dark things. Evil things. This-coffee-doesn't-taste-very-good things. You can use them to disappoint yourself and everyone you love to produce substandard beverages using your own grinds through the Nespresso machine. I'd rather get a Christmas stocking full of dead hamsters than a cup of coffee made with self-provided grinds in a Nespresso machine. But then, maybe other people like dead hamsters.

These filters are made for the ez cup plastic pod. It costs $20.00 for one. You should be able to use any refillable pod with I coffee. I he filters might work in those but are not necessary.I have used Cafe cup refillable pods in an older Keurig for years.

The pods act as the only filter on this unite and there is no additional filtering. If you wanted to use your own grounds, you'd need to make your own pods (there are kits for this) or find a separate compatible filter.

I can't see why not but have not tried it myself. The filter has a honeycomb impression and the top lip locks in place when you put the lid and turn to lock. You might want to use a small spoon to lightly tamp down coffee and use with the existing mesh filter; gives you double filter for the fine grind of espresso coffee.

Yes, you are able to use your own loose coffee, but you will need to purchase a reusable 'cup' in order to do so.

I understand the issue you are having, I happen to have a pod maker myself from about 3 years ago and it is no longer available. If you get these filters you could use this little gadget I searched out for you. You would put the pre-formed filter in this, add your coffee, fold down the flap and iron over the top. It will work very well for you. I sure hope this helps you and if you get a chance, let me know what you decided to do. http://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Coffee-Pod-Fixture-DIY-Coffee-Pod-Maker-for-Senseo-easy-pack-pods-/301180687702?pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item461fc49556

I use the make-your-own pod papers for filters. 2 for 1- top then bottom separately. Makes it easy to empty. I now also make up pods to use in the loose coffee drawer. No messing with dragging it all out & measuring first thing in the morning. Keep them sealed in a container & can even freeze or refrigerate if you want to retain freshness.

Yes--you can find a filter that fits in the holder at Bed, Bath and Beyond in the section for Keurig coffee accessories. There is more than one choice--from about $5 to 20. True value hardware has an ad for something similar. I use the least expensive version from B,B and Beyond in mine for loose tea--which would also work for coffee.I've also had good luck shopping for pods by different vendors on amazon.

Yes, you can. You don't need any specific brand filter, but you need a cone filter to keep the coffee out of the carafe.

I never tried to use it with K-cup reusable pod . However, I would guess it may not work effectively. Using it with the reusable Pod will be equivalent of using double filters which may dilute the coffee and also cause back pressure within the filter. The back pressure may slow down the rate of coffee output in addition it may reduce the amount of coffee filling your mug. I know it is not fun to clean the reusable K-cup pod, but if you want to avoid the clean up process, I recommend buying the EZ-cup to be used with the EZ-cup filters. I hope this helps!

I feel the same way you do, I would rather have a filter. I found a way to make my own...take a 2-4 cup paper coffee filter, put it in a 1/3 size measuring cup, press down, fill filter with 2 TBs coffee, fold filter over until it makes a soft 'pod'. I tried it and it WORKS! I had also ordered Melitta size 1 coffee filters, am going to try those when they arrive. Hopefully, the cone shape on the filter bottom will work.

There is some misinformation in the answers posted so far. This unit is not designed to use K-cups or any other kind of pod or disk. It comes with a included coffee filter, and you simply fill the filter with however much coffee (grounds) that suits your taste. When done, you simple rinse the filter. OR, you can purchase disposable filters (#2 Paper Cone) and just toss them.

No you can't as far as I am aware. But the quality of the coffee that is available is the best I have found for pods

This product is two pieces. The outside section is considered the pod and the small insert ( basket/filter) is where your coffee of your choice is placed. Everything to start using your own coffee is included.

No you don't have to use their coffee packs only. Yes you can use ground coffee in a filter aaccessory. With regard to tea, I use regular tea bags.

No - The unit is designed to use only pods and can't be modified ( according to the company ) to accept ground coffee.

Lori, I have never taken the coffee out of a Keurig K-cup and put the coffee in the coffee pods filters, but I can't see why not. I use a lot different brands of coffee in the pods for the Hamilton Beach coffee maker and I have had no problems at all. You should be OK.
