I always add chicory to my coffee so my question is can I add the already ground chicory in some way (to the beans) or the grind with this machine?

This machine lets you brew pre-ground coffee, so the only way I can think of is to grind the beans, add the chicory to the ground coffee, and measure the amount you need for a single serving into the ground coffee chamber. A long way of saying, yes, you can do it.

I have never had the French market version with chicory added, but judging by the price and the fact that Cafe du Monde is a real place in New Orleans (that only serves this coffee and beignets) I would bet this one is better. It is one of my favorite coffees.

yes, but don't recommend it. The whole purpose of the grind and brew is to have freshly ground beans for the most flavorful coffee.

I use a fine grind like you'd get when you buy ground coffee from the store. Hope this helps.

Thanks JJLet me know how you like the A10.Now the question is, how are you grinding your beans? I have a Baratza Vario and I am also very happy with it. Occasionally grinds will stick in the basket due to static, but overall pretty rock solid. They have the new Vario that doses by weight; wish I had it. When I use my Chemex or Hario pour overs, I weigh out the beans and water. If you haven't tried a pour over, it's an inexpensive investment which brews excellent coffee.Happy brewing my friend...

NO - it is just plain ground coffee with a flavor added - you would have to add your own cream, if desired.

You can use either ground coffee from a can or grind coffee beans, however the coffee maker does not have a built-in grinder. My husband prefers to grind coffee beans and uses the natural paper filters so he doesn't have to clean the gold filter. Recommend purchasing a coffee grinder so you can grind them fresh for each pot of coffee. The coffee from this coffee maker is very flavorable.

Although I have ground only coffee beans in mine, it seems that any bean that is dry could be ground in this. Due to the price of this grinder however, I would check with the manufacturer first just to be on the safe side.

I did grind my coffee first and then I cooked the coffee in a pot on the stove. I did not brew it although you probably could. I also added dandelion root to my coffee. I have a 2 qt bag so I used about 1/4 cup of coffee. Please feel free to contact the company, should you have any more questions.

That the beans are not uniform is the only downside. Plus, you have to carefully time the process to not get it too fine. If you do French Press a lot, a burr grinder might be better. I used to have one, but I don't find the higher price fully justified replacing it once it broke. It might if I regularly did a lot of different coffee grinds.Otherwise I find with just a little experimentation I can find the sweet spot for most coffee using the blade grinder. To me the results are not that different than some might have us believe.

As others have answered, you can use a mason jar. But you shouldn't keep ground coffee for too long. It goes stale very shortly after grinding.

I do not get grinds, but I do get dust from the coffe if it's ground to fine. I suggest using medium to coarse ground coffee if you can, otherwise, you can make a filter from a regular coffee filter and insert it before the basket is put in. I have not experienced any problems with the coffee maker form any detritus I have experienced.

Yes, it's easy to remove the hopper and get to the burrs (but I don't remember the last time I did that). I put so much coffee through it daily there's no chance for stale ground coffee to accumulate. As I recall, a little brush comes with the grinder. --Jene

You want expresso grind to be powder like and feel smooth between your fingers. If your beans are freshly roasted you can try one step less fine because the beans have a little more moisture in them. Really fresh ground beans should brew with some "crema" brown foam on top. That amount of crema is a clue to freshness. Different beans with different roast times also can change the "best" grind setting. Experiment, LOL

Hi---You have to be careful and know what you want to use it for. If you plan on brewing it or otherwise using it in a conventional coffeemaker, make sure it says 'granules' or 'drip-grind' or something similar, indicating that it is uniformly ground-up like regular coffee would be. I got a couple of bags from other companies, but they were little rough chunks of roasted chicory root, which are definitely difficult to grind-down. So, it was smart of you to inquire.Good-luck,John

Start with whole beans and grind them yourself. I have a burr grinder and set it for a fine grind. I only grind enough for several days. This way I get the freshest coffee every day. I fill the filter to about 1/4" from the top, but do not compact the grounds. This works great for me.
