Can you use ground coffee?

Yes, absolutely. it has a fine mesh filter but we like to quarter fold a regular paper filter to get less residue. The best advantage of this coffee maker is you can use you favorite coffee and mix it up the way you want.... half regular, half decaf or whatever suits you... Whatever strength you want.

Yes you can. It works just like a full size coffee maker only it allows you to make one cup at a time.The unit has a permenant basket(removeable for cleaning), a travel mug and works great.You will have a full cup of coffee in five minutes.

Yes, that's actually its main intention. You can also ground your own and add that. There's a screen filter that fits inside it, but I personally add paper filters as well to aid in quick clean up.

I've heard from a forum online that you want to use a bit more ground coffee than usual for a cup, as that's when the subtler elements of the flavor come out. There are also a lot of guidelines available here: http://www.realkopiluwak.com/perfect-cup/

You can definitely use the filter that came along with the coffee maker. But to escape the hassle of washing the filter after every use, people mostly use paper filters which are available in all grocery stores and supermarkets. Use any grounded coffee of your choice - ground it yourself or buy one from market. Enjoy your Coffee!

I use this coffee in K Kups at the same ratio as regular coffee. Since it's fine ground I'd try a bit less then normal grind in a pot.

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

Any ground coffee will work, but as a tea drinker, I use loose tea. The tea tastes great and a single cup means I don't waste tea because it gets cold. Love this product.

I assumed it was for whole beans but now that you ask, I guess ground would work. But ground coffee is best kept in the freezer in my opinion. That's what I do anyways if that helps.

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.

This machine lets you brew pre-ground coffee, so the only way I can think of is to grind the beans, add the chicory to the ground coffee, and measure the amount you need for a single serving into the ground coffee chamber. A long way of saying, yes, you can do it.

My guess would be No, as it looks like regular ground coffee. But I don't know for sure.

You can use loose ground coffee. The one cup maker has a filter with an extremely fine mesh that keeps the coffee grounds from flowing to your cup.

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

No, you should use real ground coffee (ground between a cone and flat-bottom settings (between 9-12 at Starbucks, I use 11)

Susan, if your coffee is ground very fine, you might want to use the filter. I don't use, although with a different grind I might want to to avoid grounds in the coffee dispensed.

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

You can use either ground coffee from a can or grind coffee beans, however the coffee maker does not have a built-in grinder. My husband prefers to grind coffee beans and uses the natural paper filters so he doesn't have to clean the gold filter. Recommend purchasing a coffee grinder so you can grind them fresh for each pot of coffee. The coffee from this coffee maker is very flavorable.
