Can you use regular ground coffee, not a pod, with this coffee maker?

I use a small muslin bag I had purchased for brewing loose tea - can't remember where I bought them but they were cheap and bought online. I use 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground coffee and it works well. The bag is 2"X3" and has a string closure. You can then add the used coffee grounds to your garden and rinse the bag out for next time. So much cheaper than using the pods. I did buy the Melita pods that fit this unit and it's great coffee. But over time it's not really cost-effective to do this. So I thought I'd experiment with some decaf and am quite pleased with the result. Good luck - if you find something else to use, please post it on the Amazon review area to let everyone know.

Yes, they sell paper filters that are ok... plus they have plastic ones which I use , put the ground coffee inside but don't use the lid that comes with it... works great...

no - requires 'pod' filter paper. I purchased 200 pre-formed pieces when buying the HB. They're working fine just takes a few seconds careful handling to load

There are 'reusable' pods things out of plastic that you can refill yourself, but I don't think you can just dump in coffee.

I've seen a number of suggestions here for how to use your own ground coffee. This is what I do though...I buy the empty "tea" bags (they are quite cheap) and put my coffee in them. They have drawstrings and really work well. Simply put however much coffee you want into one, pull the string, turn the bag onto its side and give it a little shake so the grounds aren't in one lump right in the middle, put the bag (on its side) into the little brew basket, and you are set to go. I take a few minutes each weekend and make up a bunch of them and put them into an air-tight canister and I'm good to go. Easy.

No. This machine only uses the iperEspresso capsules. There are other machines that can use either the capsules or ground coffee.

No - The unit is designed to use only pods and can't be modified ( according to the company ) to accept ground coffee.

Yes, there is a Special K-cup that you can and stuff with regular coffee and brew! Works great... Sometimes a little messy but not bad!

Yes you can, I am an expert on commercial coffee machines and I have to say that this little machine is really not bad. Not to be compared with one of the big ones like Saeco but what comes out, can be strong and pretty good. Only thing it is a little messy but that is the handle system. It is certainly a step towards the big ones until one can afford it. You can make a regular cup of coffee by using the double filter and let it run two cycles with the same powder. or the single filter and one double cycle. If you want a stronger one press the coffee powder good in the filter but careful not too much and not too high so that the filter has problems going in its place. AR

I don't know, but in looking up the type of coffee maker, it says you just put the coffee in, no pods needed, although I note there is also an option to purchas 350 filters so it appears that the pressure used to make the coffee may push through some of the coffee grounds. I'm thinking that I'd need to see the part of the coffee maker that you place coffee in to see if the pod filters would work. Sorry I couldn't be more help, good luck finding a resolution.

My guess would be No, as it looks like regular ground coffee. But I don't know for sure.

No it takes the pods I have a problem finding them the storesI bought the filler pods so I can use regular ground coffee.

Sure, it's up to you how much ground coffee you put in the filter. You can experiment. We make our morning coffee every day using the Melitta Cone Filter Coffeemaker.

I am not sure, but our cafejo did come with an adapter to use ground coffee in.

You can definitely use the filter that came along with the coffee maker. But to escape the hassle of washing the filter after every use, people mostly use paper filters which are available in all grocery stores and supermarkets. Use any grounded coffee of your choice - ground it yourself or buy one from market. Enjoy your Coffee!

This is for ground coffee, NOT pods! The filters work great...and it's far less costly to grind your own beans (or use pre-ground coffee) than buying pods!

I use regular coffee. Be sure not to over fill the filter or else your machine will make a mess.

You can only use the little pods. It will make espresso or regular coffee. It's great and no clean up time!

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

You can use loose ground coffee. The one cup maker has a filter with an extremely fine mesh that keeps the coffee grounds from flowing to your cup.

This drip coffee maker does not have an integral grinder. You must supply your own source of ground coffee.
