can you use already ground coffee like folgers

Yes, however, I do stay away from fine grinds. I do like the suggestion from Anita using a paper filter. This coffee pot makes great HOT coffee.

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

Hi Jennifer! Yes, you can, but because it is a much finer grind than "percolator grind" I would recommend a paper filter below and above the grounds in the basket. This will reduce the liklihood of grounds in your cup.

Yes. Any brand makes a great cup. I use the brand from the big shopping club that begins with a C_ _ _ _ O.

Yes. There are refillable pods. Some use disposable paper filters, some use a fine screen mesh. Refilling pods is much less expensive per cup, lets you use your favorite roast, and avoids plastic trash. I use screen mesh which lets some fine grounds into your coffee, perhaps not to your taste. If you overfill, compress or use very fine grind in your pod, the machine will stop itself due to pressure.

Either you buy a good grinder and make your own espresso with whole beans or you buy already ground espresso. I don't think you can use pods. Go to Krups website and look at their specs for the model you want along with user videos on YouTube.

Yes, you push a button when you want to use ground coffee. Sometimes I want a decaf latte in the late afternoon or evening, so I use ground decaf in the machine.

Yes, you can. You can buy a re-usable K-cup and put any kind of ground coffee or tea into it that you want.

The machine has a bypass valve so that you can use whole beans or ground coffee. The main point of the bypass is so that if you have regular beans in the hopper, you can make a cup of decaff using through the bypass (or vice versa). But you can only make one shot at a time, one tablespoon of coffee at a time. So, technically yes, you can make coffee with ground espresso, but it would be highly impractical to use that for anything other than the occasional cup.

My model is a Francis Francis X-1. That model does use ground coffee. It's been very dependable. I've had mine for 8 years.

I use regular ground coffee in mine, like Folgers and etc with no problem. Are you using instant coffee? That would happen if you use instant.

I can't see why you wouldn't be able to. I don't have an espresso machine but I was under the impression that you used ground coffee.

NO, NOT REGULAR GROUND COFFEE, You will need to use "ESPRESSO" Which is SUPER FINE GROUND UP COFFEE.

Yes but manually. You can't put ground coffee in the hopper but for a single pot you can measure ground coffee into the filter basket then hit the "don't grind" button, fill with water and set the timer. The coffee will brew without grinding

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.

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.

You can buy these empty capsules and simply use whatever coffee flavor / beans that you choose. Just make sure to properly grind the beans correctly.

No, they do not. They are much more cost effective than using a Keurig cup. If you want to have the same taste of the coffee, (Douwe Egberts) you could buy the ground coffee and then put it in one of those K-cup dispensers they sell separately allowing you to use your own coffee. You will not get the crema that you do with a Senseo Coffeemaker though.

No, I put regular coffee into those replacement filters and the filters leaked all over and made a mess. I finally found the flat coffee pods at Coffee Wholesale, USA www.cw-usa.com They have Folgers Coffee in several flavors. I like Barnies Coffee, but it's unavailable.

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