I use the regular auto drip setting. I fine bit of sediment gets through but that doesn't bother me. If it bothers you, you might try a coarser grind.

I grind my own coffee. If u grind it at the store, try between fine n medium. U don't want it to fine or it will be bitter. I don't buy pre ground coffee.

I use 2 scoops for 1 large cup of coffee. I also use the Turkish grind from Starbucks.

I use regular coffee. Be sure not to over fill the filter or else your machine will make a mess.

No. What ever you use needs to be ground. So either buy ground coffee or grind it yourself. Hmmm. Sounds good right about now.

All depends on your brewing method. Regular autodrip (think Mr. Coffee style maker) use medium grind. French Press and Percolators need a coarse grind. Espresso machines need a fine grind.

nope, you're supposed to grind themusually use a slightly finer grind than a drip coffee maker, but it's mostly to taste, the coarser the grind, the longer it'll have to steep though

I use espresso grind, not the finest. It depends on how strong you wish your coffee to be, you can use any kind but the finer grinds give you a stronger coffee. Also, the milk does not get hot in the top, just warm unless you start with warm milk.

I use a coffee grinder.... it takes a boatload of time but it works if you have no other choice

A coarse grind works well. The filter won't clog like the one for the Bodum does if you use a finer grind, but the coarse grind seems to provide a little more flavor and eases cleanup. Play around with the amount of beans you use until you find the amount that meets the taste you like. One other tip is to boil the filter in a pot of water with a little Oxyclean every couple of weeks and the filter will last longer. Enjoy some great coffee.

It works better with coarser ground coffee. I have even used Folgers from Grogery store and it worked fine. If you grind your own coffee...just select a coarse grind.

Too fine of grind would be my guess. I use Gevalia espresso roast (ground) which is fine for my unrefined taste. Alesso is another good pre ground. I've used Starbucks whole bean ground by their grinder and for the money I'll use Gevalia and get better espresso.

I use a medium grind. I prefer Peet's coffee and buy it from the grocery already ground and that consistency always works well. I prefer a strong cup of coffee so I add a bit more than I do when brewing for guests.

By trial and error. It depends on how much coffee you like to use for each cup. If you grind a little more just save it for next time.

I used coffee ground slightly coarse but it makes great coffee regardless of the grind. The problem with this item is that the coffee pot is not made to last. Don't worry about the grind, it won't last you long enough to make a difference. I replaced the coffee pot twice and gave up on it. It turned into a monthly expense.

I use a regular or drip grind with this filter. However, since I use a Mr. Coffee grinder, it varies. The mesh is extremely fine so any grind would work. It depends on the user's preference.

Yes, especially if you use a cheaper blade type grinder, if you grind your own beans. To minimize particulates in the bottom you really need to use a coarse grind coffee.
