Can you use any coffee?

I use any coffee and grind it fine ( or buy it already ground). As long as you don't grind it too small there is no problem. I usually get a dark, deep roasted espresso like one. I hope this helps.

Hi. You can use any coffee ground from beans to espresso fineness. You can also use pods but freshly ground coffee is best. Enjoy.

I'm not a coffee expert, but from everything I have read and experienced, the quality, freshness of the roast and the grind will determine how good your coffee experience is. I would at least choose an espresso grind when choosing coffee beans. (Finer ground then coffee for drip machines)

I started with regular coffee and it worked fine but recently, I changed to espresso beans, ground fine with a conical burr grinder. The difference in the flavor is amazing! I will never switch back.

You really can't, that is, the machine uses special aluminum pods that you buy from Nespresso. There are instructions online on how to re-use those specific pods. But, I use my Keurig machine for coffee. The nespresso is truly a wonderful espresso machine, that's function is incredible espresso, and cappuccino.

Yes. You can make any size cup of coffee by only pouring in that amount of water.

I think you can use either. We have had our Capresso a little over a year and we love it. coffee has never been so nice and hot.

Using this product is a great alternative when you run out of those prepackaged coffee packs. You can use any ground coffee with this product, just make sure you don't over fill the basket to where the lid wont close. I hope this answers your question.

No. This machine only uses the iperEspresso capsules. There are other machines that can use either the capsules or ground coffee.

You can - that's what my husband always does and I do sometimes. We both like strong coffee!

No you can't as far as I am aware. But the quality of the coffee that is available is the best I have found for pods

No Joan, only for use of Nespresso CUPS or maybe some other cups that are compatible for this machine or can be refilled for this purpose. Nespresso has many coffee flavors and blends. The machine makes an amazing espresso in the most simple and fast way possible. You can visit a Nespresso Boutique to sample coffee and get acquainted with the machines.

Yes you can, but sometimes they don't seal very well and the coffee leaks from the side, causing some stain on the stove

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.

You can but it won't be as strong unless you put in another little individual coffee. You can set it up however you want.

Yes, you can. You have to adjust how tightly you compress the coffee in them at first, but they work good.

For the second part.. any coffee is fine. It does a fine job on any. You may want to use a bit less than normal. Tends to make maximum use of the coffee.

You can use it either way. If you do not use a paper filter it has a few grounds in the coffee but still tastes great.

Yes, you can use reusable pod, buy tea I cups, or put a tea bag in the coffee cup and leave machine empty and just have it brew plain water
