brew own coffee with this

I have the one shown here, the Keurig K45 Elite and it has a sharp prong on top and on bottom that punches a hole in top & bottom of the little K cup of coffee holder during the brewing process so by it punching the holes in it I do not think this model would work with the little reusable holders would it; seems to me the sharp prongs would puncture holes in the reusable holders would it not?

I use reusable cups in this model every day. I have never taken any parts off. I just fill my plastic reusables and pop in like the prefilled disposable ones and brew my desired cup size.

Yes - you have to purchase a separate little filter and take out the K-cup holder in the Keurig itself, but you can use your own grounds. The 2.0 versions of Keurig which are the newest models on the market will not allow this. So if you want to brew your own, then you will have to purchase a model number that precedes the 2.0 - which is why I bought this one

Presumably if you place regular coffee grounds in the basket it would brew one cup of regular coffee, perhaps a bit stronger than a conventional brewer

they make a reusable T-Disc that you can add whatever coffee you prefer into; http://www.my-cap.com/my-cap-products-for-tassimo-brewers/reusable-t-disc-for-tassimo-brewers-detail.html

Hi, We brew our coffee in the coffee makers regular steel pot then pour the pot full of coffee into this container. You could not brew coffee directly into this container. The container does work very well for its intended purpose of keeping coffee warm for a long time and dispencing it smoothly., Ray

You can use your own ground coffee if you have the special solo cup converter. I would not recommend this particular model. I've had many different Keurig machines and this was just not worth the price. The worst part is that the coffee (vue cups) are just too difficult to find. You can not use regular K-Cups, they have to be Vue cups and the selection is slim, if you can find them at all. In fact, my machine just stopped working (as soon as I started using the solo cups) and I went back to the regular Keurig Brewer with the regular K-cups. I hope this helps!

I have never done this, but I assume that it will brew it just like it would water. If this happens, I would suggest cleaning the machine thoroughly. Just fill up the back with a couple ounces of white vinegar and a couple ounces of water and brew it again. That should take care of any build up that happens because of the coffee being brewed in the back. It will make your room smell like you spilled a jug of vinegar in it, but that goes away quickly. I have used this method for every coffee maker I have ever owned, whenever they get clogged or dirty, so I know it's safe and effective.

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

Fill the K cup side with the coffee cup you are using to make your coffee or tea

I have not seen an adaptation for your own coffee use. My main complaint was the coffee and milk were not hot enough. My aeriator also did not foam milk well.

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

You can create a bolder brew with a "strong" setting - I use a refillable adaptor so I brew the strength I want (cheaper, too because I can buy packaged coffee)

No, you either grind your own beans or use coffee that is already ground. This is the BEST coffee maker I have ever had. It works perfectly, makes from 3 to 10 cups in 3 minutes flat. (I grew up when making "stove top" coffee was in vogue. Yes, I am THAT old!! So I know good coffee and good coffee makers---this Bunn is the best yet!

You could, the nozzles are close together so I just brew into the same cup. If you have small cups it could work.

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!

Sure you could! It would be an easy, tidy way to make coffee by the cup, without a coffee maker or a French press. Just put some coffee grounds in the strainer and steep like tea :) Then, lift out the strainer and voila: coffee with no grounds in it. Great idea.

Yes. I use the Ekobrew Stainless Steel Reusable Cup to brew loose tea, homemade cocoa and my own ground coffee blends. Add your blend, brew, rinse and repeat for the next cup.

It can, especially if you purchase the attachment that allows you to use your own coffee. As this is refillable, so you FILL IT with your choice of coffee and brew as large a cup as you wish (up to 18 oz).
