Does this machine use the "K-Fee" Pods? I recently was gifted a "Verismo" and am looking for more coffeeoptions to use other than the SB flavors.

The Verismo will fit BUT the plastic brew disk inside does not work with the CBTL kaldi. I found it is best to stick with the CBTL coffees for this machine. If you want an exceptional coffee experience please try Gevalia french roast in a pour over; best coffee I ever had!!

No. It only uses CBTL pods. Most capsule coffee makers only use their specific capsule type and cannot cross over.

I can't believe there is not a reusable. Hello all you carbon foot print peeps. really.

The product is called the "My K-cup" and it works fine with my B30. It seems expensive, but if you consider the cost to the environment of using the wastefully convenient disposables, plus the advantage of being able to use your own choice of coffee, it's definitely worth it in my opinion!

I haven't used the Sbucks espresso but I do use Lavazza - Crema e Gusto which is the coffee of choice of my native Italian friends and have no problem.

I'm sorry you cannot. Most machines have their very own custom pod. Go to the website to get the best selection in coffee. I absolutely LOVE this machine and the coffee variations, especially the price! Makes coffee the way they do in Italy.

This model has been discontinued. When mine failed Keurig replaced with a V700 and now the Vue series does not show up on their site except to sell the pods. Pushing the 2.0 now and that has DRM

Machine will not operate with less than 6 oz of water. I've tried :-( With a single serve machine you really need a rich coffee. B'fast Blend is weak to begin with. And, the single serve machines do not give the water enough time to soak the grinds so the first water comes our almost clear [about half the cup] thereby producing a weak cup of coffee. My work-around is a coffee POD instead of a K-Cup. I put a JavaOne FRENCH ROAST POD in the My K-Cup and now get the best cup so far. French Roast is a richer coffee but not bitter; it translates well to a single serve machine. Result is a stronger, richer cup, but not too. When I put the pod in the My K Cup I put the pod seam to the sides, then I cut an "X" in the pod so the water can penetrate the pod and get to the grinds faster. Sounds complicated but it's really not at all. With pods, you can run them under water before inserting in the holder too [before cutting the "X" that is]. This will get the grinds lubed so when the water hits the coffee it's more ready to release it's flavor. Make sense? Pods are about 1/2 the price of the K Cups too, and the coffee selection is excellent.

you can use the k cups in the v1 as well. you just remove the top as they show, put in the k cup, and brew. i have the v1, works good and is less expensive

These pods will only fit the Starbucks Verismo machines. They are a different dimension than the K-cups and the Starbucks K-cups and will not work in any machine other than Starbucks Verismo.

Only the Dolce Gusto pods.. unless it says it fits the nespresso machines... for sure the k-cups are too big.

just to give you a complete answer.. this brewer came out last year 2012 and the version does NOT accept k-cup but the NEW version 2013 does accept K-cups... and it also accepts the flat pods as well and it give you a third option of using your own ground coffee.. so lots of versatility

My sister has a senseo and I used those pods. Even the regular coffee pods came out nice! I was very surprised at how good the latte/cappucino pods were. Unfortunately my coffee machine is out of commision since there is a leak somewhere and the espresso button sticks. Have to send out to fix :(

You really can't, that is, the machine uses special aluminum pods that you buy from Nespresso. There are instructions online on how to re-use those specific pods. But, I use my Keurig machine for coffee. The nespresso is truly a wonderful espresso machine, that's function is incredible espresso, and cappuccino.

You cannot on the new Kerig 2.0 I think keurig missed the boat on this decision. I am in the market for a new Kcup coffee maker and have decided not to buy Keurig

I have been searching for one and have not yet found it. It is a beautiful machine but I did not know what to look for when I bought it. It's Cafe "Americano" is terrible. I just got the "Lungo" and it is better but not great. The Cappuccino is good but very expensive. If I had known more I might have bought something else.By the way, Amazon has most of their coffees shipped free if you have Prime.

Me, too. Got the Ecopods. Don't work. My Cafe makes much better coffee than Keurig. Please let me know what works. It's not easy finding the pre-made single serving pods neither...but I really want refillable pod.

No. This was a gift. We never use pods nor Keurig coffee makers. Convenience costs way too much.

Sorry, Tammy, I have to plead ignorance on that one. Never tried it. But it looks as if the Senseo type pod would be too small to work with Verismo (& much of the method has to do with sufficient pressure). I once emptied a K-cup into a pod & sealed it with the pod maker (sounds ridiculous, but I really wanted that flavor) & that worked, of course.
