What type of coffee do you put in this? Regular? Instant?

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

With all due respect, as a real coffee drinker instant coffee does not even come in my house. You need a fine grind absolutely not the ground coffee for a regular old coffee machine; water just runs through the grains rather than sit on it and slowly drip through. It's needs to be fine (not Turkish coffee fine but close). You can buy any coffee you like, Joe's brand or Starbucks, whatever. I buy the Seattle Mountain brand Colombian Supremo at Costco. It's a 100% Arabica bean. Excellent. Also comes in decaf if you so desire. Grind at Costco machines at "fine" setting, I believe 4 steps away from the left. I'm pretty picky about my coffee because I drink only 3 small cups a day so it has to be good! Good luck. Also' I vacuum pack and freeze my coffee as as I get home since I'm the only coffee drinker in this house. I make bags of approx. 250gr (about 8 oz) and keep in freezer. I keep the "in use" coffee in airtight container.

I get flavored coffee at the grocery and then use their grinder set on espresso. I have played around with how I put it in the duck and I find that tapping it down just a bit helps and I still get a nice foam on the top.

I use Costco Columbian whole beans, which is a medium roast. Then grind only as much as I use for a day.

I think a fine ground coffee is the best... not instant coffee. This way you can choose a decaf, flavored coffee or whatever. Grinding the beans in the store you can choose fine grind. You might experiment too with regular grind if "fine" seems too much. I've not tried the "expresso" setting...

I use Trader Joe's French Roast and grind it to an expresso grind ... very fine ... I serve it at my B&B; and everyone loves it. Just be careful to keep all the grinds in the container and don't allow any to get caught between the container and its cover, or it will make a mess. Use any kind of coffee you like ... not instant!

I use regular coffee and grind it on the first espresso grind. I like to also grind a decaf coffee and mix the two so I make 1/2 decaf, but you could make all decaf if you want.

Yes this is instant coffee. For best flavor, one satchel is good for one cup.

I usually just drink it with any liquid like water, coffee or juice. It doesn't taste bad at all so it's really easy to just mix it with anything.

It is not instant coffee but then why would you drink that anyway. Seriously, easy peasy, design takes only a few minutes to put up if that. I put it up myself and it goes on top of my SUV!

You can mix it with water or milk. I prefer milk myself only because I don't like black coffee. When they say 32 cups they are referring to an 8 oz size cup. The instructions say to mix it with either 9 oz. of cold water, or milk. I also add ice to mine.

Regular ground coffee works good. Take out plunger...put in coffee...( I use 4 scoops ) ....carefully pour in hot water up to the top chrome of the handle...... replace plunger pushing down halfway then pull back up to top of water.....wait for coffee to steep.... 8 or so minutes....push plunger all the way down.....and pour into favorite mug. Enjoy !

I really like the coffee brewed in my little red coffeemaker. I experimented with amounts and brands of coffee that I use. My favorite is Dunkin Donuts original. I use 4 cups of water and 3 Tbl of coffee.

I love the medium, Patti. It's called Three Sisters and is a delicious blend. If you like very strong coffee, go with the dark. Hope you like it! BH

Not sure, I used in recipes. If you are using instant try putting the dry milk in the cup with coffee granules and then add boiling water. If using perked or drip etc. try using a small whisk when add to coffee. Just some ideas....good luck :o)

yes, regular and strong. I might add the coffee is very hot. Excellent coffee

Haven't tried instant, but seeing the fine filter in the K-Cup, I'd guess that it wouldn't work that good as I don't believe all the instant would dissolve fast enough to give you a good cup of coffee. Best to just put the instant in your cup and use the Keurig as a hot water dispenser.

No, it is not like instant coffee. It is brewable in your coffee maker just like ground coffee, or for a single cup you can put it in a tea brewer, then you must discard the grounds.

Any ground coffee will work, but as a tea drinker, I use loose tea. The tea tastes great and a single cup means I don't waste tea because it gets cold. Love this product.

You can use any kind of coffee, just grind it fine for expresso or buy espresso ground type.

I like my coffee really strong so I use espresso (fine) grind. I've noticed regular grind makes for a little weaker coffee.

I buy this for my father. He prepares it like instant coffee. He spoons in the amount he like in the cup then creamer & sugar. Boiling water add last.
