Does it block coffee grinds?

I just received it and realized it does not filter coffee grounds. Looking for another option now.

No, it's not mesh, it's stainless steel so holes are too big for coffee grounds.
1078477
No, the perforations are larger than most coffee grinds. Why don't you put the coffee in the trash??

We use biodegeadable paper coffee filters, but I'm sure it will capture grounds.

Some, but nowhere close to all. If you have a septic field, dump your coffee grounds on your azaleas or dump the filterful in the garbage.

Yes it does...we also use a #4 filter (small) (i think that is the size) in the basket... the filter makes for a very clean cup of coffee...works fine

Yes it does. The caffeine is not released in full until you grind the coffee. The effects are relaxing and immediate! I hope this helps. AJ

Yes, although it's not "on the fly" adjustable. It's more like something you set and then leave alone. I just keep mine set to a nice fine grind for my Aeropress.

Yes it does. I adjusted my grind to fine to release the intense flavor of the coffee beans. It did exactly that.

Hi, assuming the holes on the filters are not obstructed or defective, using coarse ground coffee might work. If the coffee is too finely ground like a powder (like Turkish coffee), it can clog up the holes. Perhaps setting your grinder (or asking your coffee store) to grind your coffee at drip or french press setting will work.

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.

Unfortunately, I've only ground coffee in my grinder. The coffee grinds that result are close to the size of sugar particulates, so I would venture to say no. Your best bet is to contact the manufacture for a definitive answer.

No, it does not. By the way, I have found that I prefer to use a regular coffee filter in this. It is much easier to throw the filter with wet grounds away than it is to wash all of the grounds out.

Not really. I just experimented with my strainer. I scooped a few tablespoons of my ground coffee into the strainer over the sink. The finer particles peppered the sink with just the force of dumping them into the strainer. Had I run any water through, I believe more would have escaped the strainer. So no, it cannot filter coffee grounds. My only hesitation is if your grounds are very coarse; mine were a medium grind.

Not having tried to brew coffee with this, I would agree with the other people that, unless the coffee is really coarse, the grinds would likely go right through the mesh. Note that true "french presses" usually have a very fine (often nylon) mesh filter to filter the grounds from the liquid. The mesh on this screen is much larger than that.

No, under the grinder section is a sealed vane pump that would keep the water from flowing out freely.

If you use the coarse grind coffee for percolators, you don't need a filter. But, if you want to use one, you can. I don't use one at all.

Yes. I often have to scrape grounds out of my coffee grinder. I would think this would be bad for automatic grinders.

No. The grinder operates for a set time to grind a specific quantity of beans. Even if the amount of pre-ground coffee that went through the grinder was correct, the angle of the inlet from the hopper is quite shallow and I doubt the pre-ground coffee would even slide into the grinder.

No it does not. It works with regular ground coffee and coffee pods on the single serve side.

I'm not sure, because I did not try it. I have ground my coffee more than usual, and it seemed okay, but over the long term, it might gather inside the filter. Try it. If it seems to get clogged, then switch to a coarser grind.
