Can this unit use other coffee SOFT pods besides the Melitta ones? (i.e., New England or Chock full O Nuts)

yes we use granules most of the time but have used different packets and it worked fine

I have used tea bags with this unit, just setting the tea bag in the filter and letting the water drain through. I assume this would also work for soft pods full of coffee. Not sure what "Melitta" ones are - I am only familiar with Green Mountain soft pods that are used at my office.

My experience I can use these and my own coffee I like my coffee pot so much

I don't know. I am unfamiliar with that coffee brewer. These fit the Melitta and the Senseo brewers and are a "double" pod size. That is, when fully filled, they substitute for two regular Melitta pods.

I'm looking into this one http://www.amazon.de/Melitta-Permanent-Kaffeefilter-f%C3%BCr-Senseo/dp/B000QDNIKU/ref=pd_ybh_7 but as far as I know it's only availabe in Europe. They make one for the new generation Senseo. Not sure if either will fit the Bunn. I'm holding off on buying the Bunn until I can find a refillable pod...I have a lot of whole bean and ground coffee to use up. Plus, I want to buy some Melitta pods that are ony available from Germany and want to be sure they'll fit the Bunn too. I'm having a really hard time finding information on what size pods will fit the Bunn.

If it is a pod coffee brewer (NOT Keurig cups), then the Senseo pods will work in it.

I have never tried to use my own coffee with my pod maker. Not sure if you can or not. To use my own coffee, I use myKeurig.

No, you can use ground coffee of any coarseness you choose. I like it, but I found that my Melitta single-cup brewing cone is still easier and more efficient. You have to use a paper filter with the Melitta, but then you just throw the filter along with the grounds away after you're done brewing - With the Zevro, you have to take it apart and scrape out the grounds and then clean it out, so I went back to my Melitta. Hope this helps.

The only coffee pods that'll fit this machine are the ones made for it. Sounds like captain obvious but in other words, there are NO OTHER PODS you can use. Only one kind in all the world will work and it's cuisinart coffee. Bummer for people like me that wanna use their favorite brand of coffee.

Not the particular one I have, it uses only the pods (which makes things a lot easier!)

No, only one pod can be used at a time. Although the BluTigres pods that came with the machine seem to make stronger coffee. The machine also has a volume setting, so you can make 5,8,10 oz cups. If you are switching over from the Senseo machine like we did, you won't be disappointed.

I would investigate the kinds of pods that you are using for your coffee. I have only had a top of the line espresso machine for the last 14 years- and this mere `coffee maker' matches in its' crema! I use the melitta or the actual Senseo brand. I tried making my own and the crema was still there... but not as thick. By the way... the crema is not made at the end it is seamingly made throughout the discharge of brewing. I LOVE this machine.

Unfortunately, Melitta pods don't really fit correctly in the Senseo Machine. They are much fuller and denser, too dense for the single cup tray and a little to thin to fill a double. I had the feeling that the necessary pressure wasn't there to make proper use of the coffee pod, still a bit too much water left in the tray after making a cup. This is bad news for us. We really love our Senseo machine and will have to change our coffee rituals if the appropriate pods are no longer available.

No I only use the pods on my Nescafe Dolce Gusto DeLonghi machine. Sorry I can't help you.

You may have to use more coffee grounds than what they say to get the flavor you want. I switched to Senseo pods and the Senseo coffee pot as it was closer to the full flavor. .. but more expensive.

This unit uses senseo pods that are largely unavailable at retail outlets and are best purchased on the internet. Most of the pods appear to come from Europe .... Selection is limited relative to the plethora of Keurig compatible pods .... Some flavored coffees, I haven't seen hot chocolate

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