can you use your own coffee?

Nespresso sells the pods. You can look at YouTube videos about how to refill the pods at home, but I have not tried. The pods come out to less that $.50 a shot, so it is not terrible and is certainly cheaper than running to your nearby shop or even gas station. And, it is about as good as what you will find at a middle of the road quality shop. So, it is a win for me. I do not refill.

In my search for espresso machines, I came across a reusable capsules for Nespresso. So the answer to your question is yes. My husband has a Gaggia espresso machine and roasts his own beans, so at some point he may want to get the reusable capsules. The Essenza gives a smooth cup of espresso, so for the time being, he hasn't been using the Gaggia or his Technivorm.

No, you have to buy their pods (and they're not the standard size that go into K-cup machines). So, make sure you look at the price of those pods and factor that into your decision. It turns out to be kind of pricey; on the other hand, the coffee is excellent.

Not that I am aware of but I haven't looked either. I'm very happy with the Nespresso on-line delivery service. I consider the price to be a bargain compared to Starbucks, Peets, etc.

I think you could if you just used the coffee out of the cup but it is easier to just use ground coffee.

No you can not use your own coffee. The Tassimo reads a bar code on a T-Disk.

Why don't you use the solofill cups. You can use your own coffee & don't have to remove the kcup holder. Just be sure not to use fine coffee. It only takes a few seconds to fill and empty.

Absolutely! You may purchase a re-usable Keurig cup that you may fill with your own coffee. Really neat!

U can use u'r coffee but with special filters. I tried the filter purchased at the grocery or discount type stores and it didn't work for me. The best type is an additional piece 4 the machine that would be easier, less time consuming and work better; however, I wasn't willing to spend $48 more. Pay a little extra and buy a good machine, one that will be worth the money and give u the enjoyment of a good cup of coffee.

It really depends on your water. The more pure the water the better the coffee. If you're coffee pot didn't come with a filter you can always use your own filtered water.

No you can buy something to put your own coffee in and then put that in the keurig maker. But if you look around you can get the k-cups filled for a really good price. I tried both ways and eventually bought keurig k-cups green mountain 50 for $29.00 through Amazon.

So far I have not seen an adapter that allows you to use your own coffee. Hopefully soon.

You can definitely use your own. If you're thinking about buying one of these, do it. I love the heck out of mine!

It doesn't come with anything that would "translate" to using your own coffee, but that wasn't a concern of mine when I bought it. If you contact their web site, they might have an answer for you.

Yes you can. I imagine you could even use the single serving coffee bags (that are like tea bags).

If you are asking whether or not you could open a K cup and empty its contents into this Ready Joe, yes, you can use any type of coffee with this, as long as you have one of the filters in it already. I wet the filter first before I put the coffee in, that helps the water draw down through better, and I make sure the fold of extra paper at the bottom is out of the way of the drain hole. Then just pour the water slowly through, keeping all of the coffee grounds continually down in the water for more flavor.

You can use any cup provided it isn't taller than the space between the base and the brew basket. The coffee just drips out of the brew basket like any normal drip coffee machine.

Yes, there are third party "Nespresso compatible" pods, as well as stainless pods that can be re-filled with your own coffee as often as you want.

You proably can. You could also just run water through and then make the coffee. I see no problem putting instant in the reusable filter though I have never done it myself.

yes, you can use the regular Keurig. Just fill your mug/glass/etc. with ice and then brew it directly over that. Make sure to select a smaller brew size to account for the fact that your mug is full of ice. Generally, if I am using a large travel mug, I will use the medium brew setting. Also, after it brews, I generally add more ice until the mug is full since some of it melts when brewing.
