can i use this without a coffee machine; direct drip into cup?

I use it all the time direct drip into cup. Just put in 2 Tbs. ground coffee and pour boiling water through. Works great!

No - you would get coffee all over the place. I'm sure there are other, better products out there for that....

Not recommended. This type of filter is made for a drip brew coffee machine with hot water cascading down to dissolve the coffee grounds. You're better off with a French press or manual coffee maker. Google this for more detailed info.

sounds rather arduous, i'm sure there are items that cost about the same as the filter that are french press like (or some other equivalent) get one of those

I do not see how you can do a direct drip with this filter. It is a direct replacement filter for a Cuisinart coffee maker.

I make coffee by the quart in a large mouth Ball canning jar. Bring your water to 200 degrees, pour the coffee into the water and stir a little bit. Insert a large mouth canning funnel into jar then put this filter into the funnel. Slowly pour coffee into filter and you have the best coffee money can buy. Anyone who says you can't pour right into this filter just isn't thinking outside the box enough.

Yes. There is an adjustment that will slow down the dripping through the ground coffee so you can use a smaller amount of water and coffee to brew the amount you want. I use this every day to make just one large mug of coffee. It might take you a few times to get just the right amount of water and coffee to suit your taste, but it does make a great cup of coffee.

Other than instant coffee--no. I use a percolator. I also use a small filter for the basket, which stops sediment from getting into the water in the percolator. This is really good coffee but needs a coffee maker or percolator. Good luck!

Yes you can! And it would be stong, but it would be better with the percolator style coffee pot then an Automatic Drip Coffee maker style...

Put water in like usual but not coffee. Just use steamer at appropriate time.

Depends. I use water from the fridge that is already filtered and don't use the coffee machine filter

No, if you put instant coffee in any machine it will probably ruin it. You need the fine ground coffee or expresso :)

Sure. Just don't put a K-Cup in the brewer, select your cup size and press "brew."

Maybe if you used a very coarse grind of coffee (to keep it from getting through the mesh) you could pull it off, but my hunch is that the coffee would be weak and not nearly as tasty as drip. I have tried several different devices for brewing a "single cup" of coffee and, by far, the best I've found is the Aerobie Coffee Press, available from Amazon for $26. The Aerobie Press brews the best coffee I have ever tasted anywhere (if you buy good quality beans and follow the instructions carefully), as the 1400 glowing Amazon reviews of the device will attest.

It's easy to avoid the plastic touching the coffee. The above scenario depends on the amount of water and or size of contanier being used for the process. Do a simple test! Measure your desired amount of water, add the water to your vessel. Then place the dripper on top of the container. If the bottom of the dripper is wet; adjust the volume of the water lower or increase the size of your container. Btw, its a great product! I've been using mine for over two years.

Not really. To get coffee out of an areopress you need to put a lot of pressure on it, the plastics will probably break if you use this.

Don't think so.I use it as drip coffee maker. Mug or small pitcher at base.

Yes you can. But the little part that holds the coffee grounds is VERY small. I don't even use mine because of that.

Yes you can. I put hot coffee in mine and put it in the frig, but I'm also having a problem with the leads leaking when I pour from it. It usually makes a mess. I am looking to replace mine.

You can use drip coffee but nothing with extra fine granules....even better, get a little quick coffee bean grinder to make your own.

Yes, or you can use it in a drip-style coffee pot like Mr. Coffee. In this case, you don't need to use a filter.

These are for a commercial size filter, like in the restaurants. So I can't answer your question about home drip coffee.
