Does this work well in Superautomatic Coffee makers?are the beans oily?

They beans are slighty oily, but I feel that this doesn't affect the taste in any negative way. I never have used it in a super automatic coffee maker, I believe this is a coffee that should be madein a french press.

I grind mine at home/work and run it through my French press. There is some oil, but I don't think it would be enough to damage your machine.

A little oily, not sure about superauto makers though. I grind mine at the house and use a course grind for a french press or a fine to make a k-cup. Worked fine on both

Depends on what is "regular". You can control the amount of caffeine and milk that goes into your coffee quite well. It has a lot more flexibility than the fully automated pod-based machines. Just watch the video on Youtube.

It worked great for my coffee. The big problem I had is it ate batteries in like two day. I never used it to mash anything, just to stir coffee and occasionally whip eggs. But it broke after about 10 uses. So, I would look for something a little more reliable, that my opinion. I hope this helps? Thank you

When pushing the lid down with resistance, you can hear the air escape. I have had beans in the container for up to three weeks and they are still oily so I would say it's air tight. If I leave the beans in the ziplock like plastic one way ventilated bag the beans were sold in, they only stay oily for about a week. That's with squeezing out the air before sealing up the bag. The Tigthvac Coffeevac works very well and is highly recommended in my opinion.

Yes, they work perfectly well. Just be careful about the refillable cup, they don't work well. Very weak coffee.

Also I see others were not happy with this coffee maker and I don't know why. I drink a lot of coffee and have had many diff kinds of coffee makers. This one extracts the full flavor of the coffee unlike quick drip types which don't heat the water hot enough so the flavor is not as full and rich. I grind Arabica beans prior to making the coffee. You don't need a beep. Just be a little patient. Its only a few min more for a full pot and its well worth the wait. What's the rush for a great cup of coffee. You can also set up the timer so its ready when you get up. Very simple to use and make very well. Also I see others were not happy with this coffee maker and I don't know why.

Using oily beans will create build up in the grinder that will cause it to fail over time. Medium roasts are best with super automatic machines

the coffee isn't as hot as I'd like but the coffee tastes fine. I have a friend with an older Sunbeam coffee pot (I think) that makes extremely hot coffee. I wish I had hers!

Absolutely. Go for as fine a ground as you can get without coffee dust flying out of the machine. A very fine setting and dark-roast beans will get you the strongest flavor -- because the more surface area that touches the water, the stronger the brew. I also use more coffee per cup than most instructions suggest: 1/4 cup of grounds per 8-oz mug of coffee. I prefer medium dark beans and less than espresso strength. You get more coffee flavor from beans that aren't dark roasted, in my opinion and that of many coffee roasters, baristas, buyers and growers. If you like the burnt bitterness of espresso, though, go for it. Absolutely. Go for as fine a ground as you can get without coffee dust flying out of the machine.

Thank you for the advice! I've tested 2 of the included samples using 9-10oz and using the pulse button and it's not to bad... like I said I'm pretty bland when it comes to my coffee :) I bet a 12gram pod and maybe using pulse will be perfect! There aren't any reusable pods yet for this machine that would let me use my own ground coffee are there?

I haven't had any issues. But I do make sure that I do not use "oily" beans. I had a Krups machine prior to this one and I was told by Krups that oily beans can clog the machine. What kind of issues are you having?

These beans are very oily. We grind them pretty fine and use them in a Mr Coffee machine.

I purchase the KCM22WF and have used these for four or five years now. They have always worked in the Kitchen Aid coffee makers that I have had. Hope this helps!

I tried it in my coffee, it is more like putting coconut oil in it, what ya use is coconut milk..

Yes. It works much better with ground coffee than with whole coffee beans. Much better and stronger taste.

Coffee always contains natural oils, but no, these beans are not overly oily (& no oil is added to them).

The cup is compatible and works well with the filters. I've had issues with coffee strength after using it but I think that has more to do with the ground beans I'm using.
