Does this work with ground coffee?

Yes, it´s perfect for ground coffee... I put a paper filter in the deposit for the coffee (although I don´t think it is necessary)...I haven´t found any small filters, so I just cut up the big ones to size and put it in.

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

It works with ground coffee only. You need to put a cheap disposable paper filter (get at any grocery store) in the basket and the ground coffee in the filter. After the water is poured into the chamber, turn it on and enjoy. I suppose that you could just use it it to heat up water without the filter and the ground coffee and then use the hot water to make instant coffee but that's not as good.

This pot doesn't accommodate pods. Yes, it works with ground coffee. I has also tried ground espresso coffee, and it makes a very nice cup of espresso as well. I hope that this has helped to answer your question.

It ONLY works with ground coffee. You open the top and put in a small coffee filter, then your ground coffee. I believe the instructions say 4 tablespoons (double check your own to confirm) but I usually just put an amount that looks like "enough" to me. It's not exactly rocket surgery.

Of course. It's the only coffee you can use since it's not a Keurig or pod coffee pot, and it makes good coffee.

We only use the Illy pods and these work very well. I do not think you could use ground coffee with a "home made" filter since everything would become very messy and the machine would not work correctly.

It might, but I don't think it's a good choice. It's not as good as a paper filter. leaves too much coffee ground through. Sorry.

Using this product is a great alternative when you run out of those prepackaged coffee packs. You can use any ground coffee with this product, just make sure you don't over fill the basket to where the lid wont close. I hope this answers your question.

Yes, and it works fine. I do put a tiny pinch of salt in the pod with the coffee grounds which lessens the bitter taste (depending on your water).

It works in my Mr Coffee 'style' maker just checked the bag it says Med ground. I'm pretty sure you can also get it in bean to ground yourself.

It does not work well at all with regular grind coffee. It is better with a finer ground coffee (like Melitta) but does not filter grinds completely. I have gone back to paper filters and this sits in the closet

If you mean pre ground coffee, yes you can add a measured amount of ground coffee to the hopper in the bean area, also you can vary the amount of water to achieve the same result. Its called an Americana. Hope that helps.

Yes. However, the machines gets really messy abd clogged up when I put ground coffee. I read some other reviews which said same thing. For wholebean it great so far I must say and the frothing feature for the price point is good and it has decent size.

Yes. Works the same as a standard no-grind coffeemaker. There is a selector button to turn off the grind function

I don't use it; it doesn't hold the grounds and just lets them go into the coffee. It's worthless!

No ground coffee in the hopper. Just put in gold filter and select "ground coffee" so it skips the grinding process.

I would imagine that if it can turn coffee beans to coffee grounds, that it could do the same for most similar items, but I'm honestly not sure. I could try it on mine for you and let you know the results if you'd like, I'm actually selling mine on Amazon.

I've never used it for that, but it looks like it would work--except if the coffee is very finely ground, as for expresso.

John, I have never tried that, but it might work. It works very well with coffee.

NO, NOT REGULAR GROUND COFFEE, You will need to use "ESPRESSO" Which is SUPER FINE GROUND UP COFFEE.

I would say yes if not tooo fine a grind. It is a fine mesh and if you've ever use a coffee press you would probably get same effect. I haven't done it myself because I don't drink coffee so I don't see why not. Finished pot should contain no grounds. Not to mention that when I was young, my grandmother use to make great coffee by putting the grounds in empty egg shells. The coffee stayed pretty settled at the bottom of the pot inside the egg shells and you poured carefully. So this should work.
