Will this machine use ground coffee as well as beans?

It's primarily for beans, but there is a button that shuts off the grinding cycle. You will have to put the grounds into the basket yourself.
264875
Yes. You can set the cycle to brew only without grinding. I recommend using a quality grind, make sure it is fresh and use a filter, rather than the basket.
264876
Yes but manually. You can't put ground coffee in the hopper but for a single pot you can measure ground coffee into the filter basket then hit the "don't grind" button, fill with water and set the timer. The coffee will brew without grinding
264877
Yes, just put a filter with ground coffee into the basket and push the "don't grind" button which is below the on/off button, or you can set the timer, but you still need to pust the "don't grind" button.
264878
Yes - You have the option of putting grounds in the filter basket and turning off the grinder at the start of the cycle.

I am not as good as you are and I use the already ground espresso coffee/espresso grind. I've used a couple of brands and both worked fine. FYI: this is a stylish little espresso machine and it works! Hope that helps.

You can definitely use pre-ground coffee. Before you start your pot, you would simply turn off the grinder with the grind button. Refer to your owner's manual for more details if you need them

I wish I could give you an answer, but there are too many variables that go into the idea setting for your choice of coffee and espresso machine. While time consuming the best grind setting will take a bit of trial and error. Good luck!

Yes you can. You will need to buy filters the reusable filter did not come with mine. Do not make a full pot of coffee or the grounds will run over as well. Lynn M N

Yes. However, the machines gets really messy abd clogged up when I put ground coffee. I read some other reviews which said same thing. For wholebean it great so far I must say and the frothing feature for the price point is good and it has decent size.

I cannot tell you - you should ask the producer. Know that the machine is not tight - you would have to get used to have little coffee powder in your coffee.

The answer is "YES", using the espresso setting. I would not recommend using the same grinder for both coffee AND spices, as the different flavors may have an unpleasant effect on one another.

I don't think it will brew ground coffee in a traditional way. There is a hot water dispenser if you wanted to use instant coffee or tea.

Yes, you push a button when you want to use ground coffee. Sometimes I want a decaf latte in the late afternoon or evening, so I use ground decaf in the machine.

There is no grinder on this coffee maker. You must use a separate grinder for whole beans or use ground coffee.

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

No, that us why I bought this model. Just rinse out the reusable basket filter. No grounds go into your coffee.

No. What ever you use needs to be ground. So either buy ground coffee or grind it yourself. Hmmm. Sounds good right about now.

It works a little if you leave the coffee in the bag it comes in. I only use ground coffee but assume it would be better with beans.

It's probably not a good idea to let the grinder run much without coffee in it. Metal grinding on metal is never healthy for a machine. You can put extra coffee in the hopper and just set the "cups" setting to the minimum, then only use the ground coffee you actually need.

I don't this machine will do it efficiently. You might do better with a coffee grinder but not sure. :)
