Do I need to use a special kind of coffee with this?

We used fancy Stumptown at first (which was delicious, no doubt) but have since switched to much more affordable Dunkin which is still very good. The most important thing is to get it coarse ground. We just got a burr grinder but if you don't have one, get your grocery store/coffee place to do it for you. This will prevent it from being muddy. Good luck! We love ours!

No, ground coffee, not instant. Most people recommend something of pretty good quality like Pete's as opposed to basic Folgers

Any kind of coffee that has been freshly ground will work. However keep in mind that better quality coffee will yield better tasting results. Don't skimp on the good stuff

You can use any coffee as long as it's coarse ground. I prefer a medium roast coffee. I hope this helps !

Kana, I have used the Toddy Cold Brew system over the last 40 years and I have never used "special" coffee other than using coffee that I like. I think you might get a different answer from someone else who might say that you need to have a special coarse ground coffee, however, that is not my answer and I sincerely love my coffee !!!

You can definitely use pre-ground coffee. Before you start your pot, you would simply turn off the grinder with the grind button. Refer to your owner's manual for more details if you need them

Yes, I microwave some water, then add the concentrate. If needed I will give it a bit more in the microwave. I only use expresso coffee as other blends won't give enough flavor.

Use mine a lot. Drink decafe & can't get many flavored decafe K cups so use ground coffee.

nope, you're supposed to grind themusually use a slightly finer grind than a drip coffee maker, but it's mostly to taste, the coarser the grind, the longer it'll have to steep though

No must be the soft pod. However this machine works best with regular ground coffee in my opinion.

No. You can use any K-cup. There are many products on the market to choose from.

you can but i would wait till it fills past the four cup mark.it takes a few cups to get the coffee warm enough.

NO - it is just plain ground coffee with a flavor added - you would have to add your own cream, if desired.

Sorry, I have not tried it that way. I've only used a regular coffee maker with mine. I guess experiment is next.

You sure can. That's exactly how I use mine. My Medelco stovetop percolator makes perfect coffee all the time.

No. What ever you use needs to be ground. So either buy ground coffee or grind it yourself. Hmmm. Sounds good right about now.

Yes, you can use any kind of ground coffee in this pot and be prepared for a wonderful cup of coffee.

Yes, just keep water in it and the k-cup flavors you like. No clean up and a fast cup of coffee.

There is an adapter so you may use K-Cups but I was not pleased with the results.There were grounds in the coffee after a few uses. I have gone back to the pods which are not as available as the K-Cups.I feel the pods work better.

You can use it either way. If you do not use a paper filter it has a few grounds in the coffee but still tastes great.

I would. But I am guessing you don't have to. The more filtration the purer the coffee flavor and the less you have to descale.
