Can you use ground coffee in this coffee maker as well?

Yes. You just push the grind off button and put the coffee in the filter instead of the grinder.
137880
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

yes, but don't recommend it. The whole purpose of the grind and brew is to have freshly ground beans for the most flavorful coffee.

Yes, the grinds will go in the basket-instead of the top grinder. I do love the coffeemaker, but suggest paper filters over the gold permanent one as if not the coffee will be weak. With the paper I use the same amount we did in all other machines we have owned!

YES, There is a button on the front that says "Grind Off". After you hit that button you turn the unit on as usual and it goes thru the brew cycle as usual. We love this coffee maker. It makes really good coffee.

Yes - just put a coffee filter in the basket and add your ground coffee to it. Be sure and put water in the reservoir. Then press the "grind off" button and then the "on" button. Then it works just like a normal coffee maker.

No, you either grind your own beans or use coffee that is already ground. This is the BEST coffee maker I have ever had. It works perfectly, makes from 3 to 10 cups in 3 minutes flat. (I grew up when making "stove top" coffee was in vogue. Yes, I am THAT old!! So I know good coffee and good coffee makers---this Bunn is the best yet!

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

Unfortunately, I've only ground coffee in my grinder. The coffee grinds that result are close to the size of sugar particulates, so I would venture to say no. Your best bet is to contact the manufacture for a definitive answer.

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

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 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 use it in my Keurig Vue so we can also use the K-Cup for brew coffee, and use the filter in it for brewing ground coffee without using the K-Cup. It works great.

No. Not designed for it. It might possibly work but the ground coffee would probably not feed efficiently thru the grinder.

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.

We use regular drip coffee. But if you ground up your beans, I am sure you could use them too. We just haven't ground any beans to put in the pot, yet.

No, if you buy the filter (cost approx. $10.00 and purchased through any of the coffee companies or even Amazon I think)) you can switch from K-cups to regular ground coffee. I have the filter and switch back and forth depending if I run out of K-cups. It is easily interchangeable, slip one out slip the other in, as easy as that.

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 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.

Yes you can. But the little part that holds the coffee grounds is VERY small. I don't even use mine because of that.

I am not as good as you are and I use the already ground espresso coffee/espresso grind. I've used a couple of brands and both worked fine. FYI: this is a stylish little espresso machine and it works! Hope that helps.

I wouldn't chance it only because if you ruined the machine your SOL. Also, if you don't have it ground the proper grind it will not give as good brew. I understand your problem I truly do-sorry about that:( I just went to SB the other day and had them put the grind on the 2 setting (if that helps)
