Can I use k cups or what kind off coffee do I buy for this

You should should an espresso grind. Illy makes very good espresso grinds. The black Illy is the best. I don't use k cups (?) or pods and not sure if you can use them with this machine, but the description of the machine should tell you that. Or, contact Krups.

I don't know what k cups are, but I buy regular coffee beans and grind them for espresso.

No this model Krups uses raw non-capsule ground coffee. Buy whole coffee beans and get a burr grinder.

This model is primarily for use with ground coffee (I buy Starbucks Pike Place whole beans and grind the beans myself) or "E.S.E." (Easy Serving Espresso) pods like those from Illy or Lavazza ESE pods, which are paper pods that meet the ESE specification. You cannot use K-cups or other pods designed for coffee brewing machines.

This machine is made for ground coffee; if you wish to use K cups; one would have to open them up first then put the coffee in the coffee basket.

The VUE packs may be purchased where the K Cups are sold. I also order VUE packs from Amazon.

It sounds as if a K-cup is not designed for your machine. It would be a little extra work, but the only way I can see you being able to brew this coffee is to peal off the aluminum top then pour the coffee into a brew cup that fits your machine.

You could take it out of the K cup. I would buy the coffee beans and grind them. The same coffee is sold in a bag of whole beans.

I've accidentally bought some different cups in the past, but when I looked at them more closely, they weren't actually K Cups, but were something else. :) All K Cups should work with this thing. I've been using it for almost a year and I love it.

Sorry, I'm no help here, Mitch. I buy the 36 cup boxes of 3 different San Francisco Bay coffees for just a little more than your 80 cup price. I don't use the K cups exclusively ... I also make pots of coffee, too.

U can use u'r coffee but with special filters. I tried the filter purchased at the grocery or discount type stores and it didn't work for me. The best type is an additional piece 4 the machine that would be easier, less time consuming and work better; however, I wasn't willing to spend $48 more. Pay a little extra and buy a good machine, one that will be worth the money and give u the enjoyment of a good cup of coffee.

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.

Yes you can use K-cups as well as other types of coffee pods or your own ground coffee with the Solofill V2 cup/adapter. Here is the link to the item Solofill V2 3 in 1 Gold Cup

Sorry, I don't know. I have a Keurig, so if your machine uses k-cups it would work. If you're not sure you can buy a small box of k-cup coffee for about $8 at a grocery store or dollar store before investing in a big box. Good luck!

There is an adapter so you may use K-Cups but I was not pleased with the results.There were grounds in the coffee after a few uses. I have gone back to the pods which are not as available as the K-Cups.I feel the pods work better.

You can. I use mine at work. You just have to go into the bin after your coffee brews to get the my k cup back. It's an extra step but you can make it work.

K-cups will not work with this system. But the coffee is just as good and not as expensive as k-cups. The only drawback is the coffee does not get as hot as k-cups.

That's what I use. I had a different keurig and it was great, but this new Keurig B155 doesn't do so well with the my k cup. It fits in the machine, but the coffee goes all over the place as it pours out. You have to hold the cup right up to the spout and even then, some of the coffee runs to the wall of the keurig it goes down into the basket that catches the spilled coffee. For this reason, I would not get this machine...so frustrating! The other reason I don't ike this machine is that it smells like burning plastic when it's on, and the top of the machine gets pretty hot.

Hi, Love the machine, great quality, durable and looks good. Use it many times a day. And yes, I can make my own coffee with this machine. I had to do some research beforehand, for only certain types of fill-able kcups work. The one I ended up buying works great: "Solofill K3 GOLD CUP 24K Plated Refillable Filter Cup" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C3828WA/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1).

No. It is specifically for ground coffee and it comes with its own ground coffee filter that is easily removable for cleaning purposes. No K-cups for this one, although others are designed to be used with K-cups. Hope that helps!
