Can I just put a cup instead of the carafe to get coffee?

Sure, any thing that fits. Tall cups wont fit in well compare to short and fat cups

yes. I perch the cup on the lid of the carafe so it doesn't have too far to drop.

I wouldn't purchase, this product as it was not worth it. After multiple attempts, reading directions, following them to the letter and Googling work around, I threw it away. Total waste of money.

Yes you can, as long as it doesn't stand so tall that it doesn't clear the metal coffee retainer above

I don't think so, but you can set it up so you only need to push a button and you have great coffee in about one minute. I think it's fabulous..i used to do the automatic thing but this is better coffee and no fuss or mess.

You do not use a carafe. That is the beauty of this machine. Put your cup under the spout and press. No carafe to break. It never came with one.

You can remove the carafe, though it may not seem like it because it's a tight fit in the holder. Of course, be extra careful when removing yours since it's cracked. Hope this helps.

Not if you're like me & like coffee very hot. I run a pot of water through the unit first. That get the carafe and the heating coil hot.

No. Maybe but boil the water separately. Don't put the immediate boiling water so as not to burn the coffee. Wait a few secs.

Yes, you can. Its construction is very similar to 'standard' coffee maker, and cleaning is similarly easy.

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

Sorry, I have not tried it that way. I've only used a regular coffee maker with mine. I guess experiment is next.

Yes, you would just push the brew button without coffee or tea in the apparatus. I oft times put a tea bag in a cup and just use the water.

Yes you can. It includes a K cup reusable filter to brew your own coffee and loose tea

No. Just espresso shots. Clearly, you could add hot water to the shot to make a "regular cup of coffee". Best regards

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

Sadly, no--which is why it is inferior to the original. Again, EVERY cup you pour will drip coffee down the outside of the spout and down the front of the carafe, eventually finding its way to the base. If you do not wipe the carafe every time you pour a cup, you will leave a coffee ring on wherever you leave the carafe.

As long as you are using a long enough cup or carafe it will not be a problem. What will be a problem is that as the coffee drips, it has a tendency to run off the side and down the plastic, so your coffee is being exposed to plastic in that way.

Yes, you can. You can buy a re-usable K-cup and put any kind of ground coffee or tea into it that you want.

Yes you can but, it won't be hot. I returned two because the first one was missing parts,the second one the coffee was not hotand it had electrical defects.
