Regular ground coffee works good. Take out plunger...put in coffee...( I use 4 scoops ) ....carefully pour in hot water up to the top chrome of the handle...... replace plunger pushing down halfway then pull back up to top of water.....wait for coffee to steep.... 8 or so minutes....push plunger all the way down.....and pour into favorite mug. Enjoy !

Dead easy. 4 tbs of standard ground coffee (starbucks, peets etc) in the bottom. Boil kettle (I have a kettle I use for tea), let the water sit for 1 min so it is not boiling and scalds the grounds. Pour the just off the boil water on grinds, let sit for 4 mins then plunge the plunger and pour. It sounds much more complicated written down than it is in practice. Advantages over a coffee machine, 1) cheaper, 2) much easier to clean - just rinse out grounds and pop in dishwasher. You just unscrew the plunger components. 3) Easy to make small amounts 4) No filters or capsules required. However, if you drink a lot of coffee, you may prefer a machine.

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

This is prinarlly used for compacting the coffee foe espresso.. Fill the adapter w/ coffee, compact with the large dia.. Keep doing again sfter some more coffee powder.. Then compact with the smaller end so that the surface of coffee is below the compactor rim.. Load the adpater in the coffee machine tight.. You will get a good espresso at the end.. Good luck

Just put coffee in and let it steep a minute then push handle down. Works perfectly rarely any grounds in coffee.. Make a good cup of coffee.

This is the best reference I have found, though it's hard to say what will be correct for the coffee you are using. This is meant to be a general guide that you should adjust based on your personal experience, flavor preferences, coffee age, et cetera. http://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/1wxcs4/reference_hario_mini_mill_grinder_click_settings/

One. I grind a bit coarser than an open-bottom cone, or else it drains too slowly.If your cone is draining too quickly, grind your coffee more finely.

You are going to love the grinder! I would say try different grinds and have it set at 4 to start. I use a scooper to scoop out what I need for each pot. You'll also need to set your grind. It will all depend in what type of brewing system you use, ie, French press, drip, percolator, as well as the type of beans. It will be a little hit and miss your first couple brews until you get it just the way you like it. The instruction book that came with it is very helpful. Enjoy!

I use a PAINT brush (about 1/2 inch wide) to brush out the ground coffee, then use a damp paper towel to clean up the fine powder. This method works very well, especially if you use a soft brush. Keep the brush near the grinder and brush out the grinder after each use.

1) Be sure to use coarsely ground coffee - either grind it yourself or in the store but it must be coarse - not the relatively find grind in pre ground coffee in tins 2) I suspect you can find a manual online (it is quite brief) if you cannot find it I will scan and pdf the 3 important pages and send them

It's very easy to use either whole bean or ground. Just push one simple button on the front to turn the grind off and put your ground coffee right in the basket.

I'm using an all purpose grind (Starb_cks C_f_ V_r_na), 6 coffee measures (old C-F-Nuts measure) for an 8 cup pot. Using M-L_tt_ #4 paper filters, and coffee is very good. Found that some St_rb_ks stores grind coffee coarser than others, even when you specify conical filter. Like the pot; makes cosistently good brew.

I use a heaping 1/2 cup of coffee beans to make a 10 cup pot of coffee. I grind fresh beans each morning. It takes less than a minute. It's an on/off switch The sound of the grinder changes when the beans are ground so you can hear when to switch it off

I like my coffee really strong so I use espresso (fine) grind. I've noticed regular grind makes for a little weaker coffee.

I use a coffee grinder to grind whole espresso beans for this machine. Doesn't have to be super fine but I think you get better espresso that way. Great machine especially for the price. My local Peet's coffee recommended this machine to me - it's been a great little machine. Good milk foaming too. Hope that helps.

You can buy these empty capsules and simply use whatever coffee flavor / beans that you choose. Just make sure to properly grind the beans correctly.

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.
