Does the machine grind coffee or do we need to add ground coffee

This machine is what we call a super automatic. So it comes with a built in grinder, so you can have freshly ground coffee. It also comes with a by-pass doser for pre-ground espresso coffee.

This machine has a whole bean hopper which then grinds for you coffee. I t also has a by pass slot in case you would like to use preground coffee. great machine for espresso and capucino I use it daily. Have had Saecos machines fit the past 17 years.

Yes, there is a bean hopper, you just have to keep filled. The machine is a super automatic, meaning it does everything. You just push the button.

No. The grinder operates for a set time to grind a specific quantity of beans. Even if the amount of pre-ground coffee that went through the grinder was correct, the angle of the inlet from the hopper is quite shallow and I doubt the pre-ground coffee would even slide into the grinder.

You need to have the brew basket pushed to the left and locked in the open position. If it is closed, and you cannot see the open filter basked with the filter in it, then it will not grind and assumes that you have pre-ground coffee in it.

Yes, you can use ground coffee. There is a place at the top of the machine where you put the ground coffee and press a button to switch to ground coffee. It doesn't store the ground coffee like it does the whole bean.

Normal, must adjust both coffee and cup desired. Decrease number of cups, but add water to same 10 cup setting. Machine will grind 8 cups setting, but add water for 10.

The two piece grinder parts must be in the machine to brew even if you use preground coffee loaded in the brewing basket and hit the grinder off button. I have tried to run the machine with the grinder part out of it and the machine has some sensor and wont run...it beeps until you put the part in, but again you dont have to use it, just hit the grinder off button.

I use ground coffee. I grind it extra fine and it seems to work. Not as fast as course ground. But it works.

Ground coffee only. For best results grind coffee on espresso setting only. Now the reason it will not work with instant is the fact that putting steam thru it will not allow the right type of brewing, and it will mess with the brewing time.

You can increase the quantity of coffee and grinding fine. These selectors are located in coffee beans area.Even buy choosing the shorter coffee.

I buy regular ground coffee (Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts) or beans which I grind. I recommend regular ground coffee, or grind the beans yourself. Do not grind the coffee to a powder (like for espresso). I LOVE this machine - and it looks cool with the nice shade of turquoise blue light at night. It makes noticeably good coffee!

Don't use an "all-in-one" grind and brew machine. Purchase a $20 grinder, and an $80 coffee maker. This particular machine is hard to maintain and is messy.

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

No, you do not need a coffee maker, but yes, you do need a grinder to grind the coffee beans (I use Krups coffee grinder that I bought about 6 years ago; it does the job and it is inexpensive). You can cook the coffee in a small pot or a sauce pan. Make sure it is covered. You do not want it to evaporate. Good luck.

No ground coffee in the hopper. Just put in gold filter and select "ground coffee" so it skips the grinding process.

No, you either grind your own beans or use coffee that is already ground. This is the BEST coffee maker I have ever had. It works perfectly, makes from 3 to 10 cups in 3 minutes flat. (I grew up when making "stove top" coffee was in vogue. Yes, I am THAT old!! So I know good coffee and good coffee makers---this Bunn is the best yet!

The machine does not use capsules, you must grind the coffee separately before putting into machine.

this coffee maker does not grind the beans. You have to use already ground coffee
