Can you also use k cups with this machine?

I'm not sure. Those are not cost effective for me so I've not tried to use one. It does have a little removable basket for coffee and I use that. I will say there is not a "well" to hold lots of water. It only holds enough for @14oz of water so it needs to be filled each time coffee is made. I don't mind that...I fill with fresh water and coffee, hit the On button and in about 2 minutes have a very fresh, tasty cup of coffee. I love this little purple guy and use it every day. I recommend it to everyone but it does have a few limitations.

This machine is made for ground coffee; if you wish to use K cups; one would have to open them up first then put the coffee in the coffee basket.

No. This is not a K-cup machine. It's a regular drip coffee machine, but its smaller.

Only if you empty them into the coffee basket... they just aren't strong enough for me.

you can use coffee from an opened capsule but one capsule isn't enough unless you like you coffee on the weak side

Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement basket? I lost mine and have been using papertowel squares... which isn't bad since I just throw them in the trash when I'm done, just would like to have the basket back.

I don't think so as it uses a pressure system to inject water into it before dispensing it. Whereas K-cups it is more of a drip style after it has punctured the k-cup. You'll probably/will end up with terrible coffee if you use these in non-iperespresso machines.

No. This takes pre filled k cups or you can buy a filter cup and use regular coffee grounds in it.

No, it cannot. The receptacle in Hamilton is not deep enough to use a K-cup.It uses coffee PODS, of which many are available (Senseo, Wolfgang Puck, Baronet).

There's an optional adapter for regular coffee but i haven't tried it. i've only used the k-cups.

No, Geraldine, you cannot. They are specifically designed for use only in Lavazza machines. You can purchase a refillable, reusable cartridge that works with Keurig machines. It can be filled with espresso. Amazon sells them.

If you can take the coffee out of the k cup you can use it in the pod. Any coffee can work in the pod.

Yes, this model does use k-cups. you can make a full pot, use k-cups or use the little filter with your own coffee. It's so easy even my husband can make his own when I'm not around! ... though he swears it tastes better when I make it. It must be the love I add. The hard part is trying to figure out which k-cup flavor is the best.

I haven't used K-Cups but judging from the basket in the coffee maker, you could. I think the literature on the coffee maker says you can use K-Cups. I didn't pay much attention to that because I'm not planning to use them. I love my coffee pot!

Yes, you can by buying the reusable k-cup filters. We use them all the time and they work.

There is an adapter so you may use K-Cups but I was not pleased with the results.There were grounds in the coffee after a few uses. I have gone back to the pods which are not as available as the K-Cups.I feel the pods work better.

YES it will utilize all brands of K-Cups and the reusable device that allows you to use your own coffee.

Yes you can only use k cups with an adapter like "K2V-Cup for Keurig VUE Brewers." I use k-cups everyday in mine without problems and my neighbor has one too and does the same. Vue cups are nice, but not found anywhere and not really worth buying online. Check this out at staples for great pricing.

Sorry yes like someone else said no but can use the hot water. Haven't had all coffee so tired:) Coffee grounds are good since that's what's in the k cups.
503401
Yes you can. But the little part that holds the coffee grounds is VERY small. I don't even use mine because of that.

I use both regular K Cups and the Reusable style (add your own ground coffee). Works great.

can this be left in to use with regular k-cups without switching back and forth?
