are you able to use your own coffee with this machine/ a refillable pod?

Don't think so. The pods are barcoded and that tells the machine what size coffee cup you need.

You need to buy the Nespresso brand of pods. I had one of these machines but it did not keep the coffee hot enough. It was just sort of warm... I sent it back.

No . The pods have bar codes imprinted on them to tell the aching the correct temp and amount of water for coffee. Great coffee, great machines!

No you can't as far as I am aware. But the quality of the coffee that is available is the best I have found for pods

Not on the market but you can reuse the ones you have... I do and have. Peel off the foil top and carefully remove the plastic bit on top. clean out the grounds but also look for another plastic bit on the bottom. rinse all parts out. Then put the bottom but back in as you found it, pack your own fine ground coffee in the cup, about a tablespoon or a bit more and be sure to pack it down. Then cover the top with aluminium foil and fold the edges as tight as you can. Basically just imitate the original construction. The pod should slip in and it works just fine. I use the expresso button to make coffee but I push it about three times. For some reason the coffee comes out stronger that way. Not on the market but you can reuse the ones you have...

This machine accepts only ground coffee. You can grind your own or buy pre-ground coffee. I highly suggest grinding your own as it will be much fresher.

yes sir you sure can if you have a kuerig filter replacement ot a k cup with a seal for it on line here. i bought the holder and five refill baskets and use my own brand of coffee . You can make it as strong or as weak as you like it.

You can only use the little pods. It will make espresso or regular coffee. It's great and no clean up time!

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).

Yes you can but you have to hack the Keurig. There are youtube videos on how to do it. You can also get a DRM freedom clip for free that tricks the sensor and allows you to use any kcup you want, even the refillable ones. Everyone should realize by now, that eventually, someone will find a hack to counteract companies that try to limit us into just using their products. :)

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 don't think so ! You have to use the Nespresso capsules (you have so much choice !) until someone finds out the way to create a capsule in which you can put your own coffee !!!!!

Do not believe you could insert the pod into one of the reusable filters. The grounds annoy me as well but not a deal breaker. Would like the see Rodgers coffee add paper filter inside the mesh or a finer mesh to provide a ground free cup.

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?

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!

any coffee can be used. That is what I don't like about Keurig as you have to use the premade pod or use the contraption to make your own pod which is messy. It says no filter is necessary but I use filters size #2. Otherwise it will have some sediment.

You can't! Do not waste your money on this machine. It makes a huge mess when the coffee was brewing. I returned it and would not waste my money on this garbage.

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.

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.

Yes, you can use most of the pods on the market in the Melitta now. There is also a "pod maker" you can buy. You use your favorite brand of coffee and this small machine seals the pod for use in your Melitta--clever.
