We use all free trade products at our church. Can we use our own ground coffee or do we have to use pre-measured packets?

Absolutely, Use whatever coffee you choose. It uses 4.375 inch filters. I buy them at Smart and Final.

This coffee maker allows you to use pre-ground coffee or you can grind your beans and add the amount you desire to the filter to the make your coffee stronger or milder. It will not accept the k-cups. Be sure and read the instructions for the coffee maker. It doesn't have a pause and pour feature. Also, the water in the reservoir will heat up in about 15 minutes. After which you pour a carafe full of water into the reservoir, and the hot water will empty through the coffee in the filter and into a waiting carafe.

Make your own pre-measured packs with your favorite coffee. Depends on how much work you want to do. You can purchase green beans and roast them in a air roasting popcorn popper. You can buy roasted beans and grind your own.

It all depends on the brand and grind of the coffee and how big the cup is you are using, but usually one heaping tablespoon per cup. The method I see the most is to put the coffee in your boiling water and let it brew for a minute or so, then pour the coffee threw the sock to filter out the grounds. Enjoy!

The package shows usage in a regular coffee maker but I would not attempt it due to the fine powder grind of the coffee. I agree with others as to how these grounds should be used. You could end up with a sludge type of residue at the bottom of the carafe!

It is usually about $7 for a pkg of 5-6 packets, that depends on flavor for some reason. Just be careful, I was taken advantage by one seller who added more in postage to overnight the coffee than the coffee was worth. AND I never asked for overnight service.

No it does not appear you can. I always use a container of some kind and if say I am measuring loose or wet items I use a disposable paper coffee filter.

Yes, you can process 1 cup at a time for pre-ground. You can also setup any of the buttons to be pre-ground all the time.. This way when you select the button, it will automatically call for pre-ground coffee.

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!!

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

I've not thought about it so I'm not sure. It would make it simple to brew a cup or pot and not have to measure but, I'm not sure whey you'd want to just use ground coffee when the fresh grinding is available. You can bypass the bean hopper if you want.

No you don't have to use their coffee packs only. Yes you can use ground coffee in a filter aaccessory. With regard to tea, I use regular tea bags.

Yes you can. You will need to buy filters the reusable filter did not come with mine. Do not make a full pot of coffee or the grounds will run over as well. Lynn M N

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

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

Sure, it's up to you how much ground coffee you put in the filter. You can experiment. We make our morning coffee every day using the Melitta Cone Filter Coffeemaker.

Yes. The unit will accept ground coffee, but whole beans make the best coffee.

I use regular ground coffee of the shelf. If it's too fine, you may get a lot of coffee powder floating in your coffee. You will notice it when you add milk into your coffee.

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.
