only can be used with coffee beans or you can use ground coffee with this press?

This is a trick question lol. You need to use "Coarse coffee grinds" however I used maxwell house fine ground beans. The only down fall is I may of used to much because some parts where a DARK BROWN color. I would suggest grinding the coffee coarse like there directions say (AFTER YOU BUY IT HAS DIRECTIONS ON BOX)

If you use whole beans and grind them a little coarse, that's the best option. However, I've used pre-ground beans and its worked fine, you just have to beware the extra-bitter magic dust that settles out into the last sip. This is probably true of any press though

I have found that you can use oil beans sparingly and my experience is that the freshly ground dark roast is too sticky, will clog the chute to the brew group. I blend in 10% French Roast with medium roast espresso beans but I am afraid to use more as I think the machine will not handle it as intended.

Yes you can grind a small amount of beans & use the pulse control rather then the preset grind setting to control how fine you want the beans ground.

No, you can buy a Keurig or generic adapter which allows you to use ground coffee.

You can totally use ground coffee. Just throw it in the filter compartment, and press "grind off."

It's primarily for beans, but there is a button that shuts off the grinding cycle. You will have to put the grounds into the basket yourself.

The Aero Press is one of the best ways to brew ground coffee. It however only brews ground products. If you want something that is versatile, Can brew K-Cups, coffee pods, and ground coffee, then the My French-Press is the best way to do all three. Also, with the My French press you can heat water in the included microwavable pitcher.

The French press works best with a coarsely ground coffee. The Lavazza is ground very fine, for use in an espresso machine. If you use the Lavazza in your French press you will end up with a lot of grounds in the coffee.

You mean "ground" coffee. Yes, the machine uses coffee beans that have been finely ground (preferably in your own coffee grinder. A good coffee grinder.)

It depends, if you are making coffee from roasted beans, you will first need a grinder to create grounded coffee from the beans. You then use a percolator. If you already have ground beans just go ahead and use the percolator.

I use a French press. I would think it is better suited for drip. It's a medium roast.

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.

My understanding is that pods can be used, but I'm old school (and cheap!) so I use ground beans and a tamper.

There is a separate outlet for ground coffee but is restricted to one cup at a time. You can not used ground coffee in the main bean container. Use of the one cup slot is messy and requires cleaning after each use. I would not recommend if you intend to primarily use for ground coffee. BUT FRESH BEANS ARE BETTER ANYWAY!!

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.

I have not used this product for ground coffee so I'm not sure if it would work well.

I use any coffee and grind it fine ( or buy it already ground). As long as you don't grind it too small there is no problem. I usually get a dark, deep roasted espresso like one. I hope this helps.
