Can you use this with coffee grounds?

I have used mine with finely ground tea and it works but not as well as with regular tea. The screen will let some of the grounds thru.

Haven't tried, but I imagine it may be difficult to clean as the grounds could potentially get embedded into the mesh filter. The filter itself does look fine enough to strain coffee grounds though.

I haven't tried it with coffee as I am trying to cut back on that and drink more tea.

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. There is an adjustment that will slow down the dripping through the ground coffee so you can use a smaller amount of water and coffee to brew the amount you want. I use this every day to make just one large mug of coffee. It might take you a few times to get just the right amount of water and coffee to suit your taste, but it does make a great cup of coffee.

Yes you can if it's a coarse ground. There is another brand that has a fine gold mesh that works well for coffee and tea.

I have not used this product for ground coffee so I'm not sure if it would work well.

Not really. Or at least I've never tried. You use loose grounds. You could probably cram one of those teabag-style pods in, but not the hard plastic critters like k-cups or other varieties.

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.

Probably not, unless you don't close the filter. I use it in a 12 cup percolator and I can barely fit enough grounds in when I wrap the filter closed. I suppose it might still work if you leave the filter flat in the basket.

It works a little if you leave the coffee in the bag it comes in. I only use ground coffee but assume it would be better with beans.

I don't see why not. I use them in a machine that is supposed to be coffee grounds for an individual cup. It works just fine. (I have a pod machine in the bathroom at my house, and the coffee ground one at work, so I use at both).

I'm sure it could, but I agree with the others... unless you're grinding a whole bunch of it, it'd just make a mess, and even with a large batch, I don't think you'd get a consistent grind. Better to use a small coffee grinder.

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, this will strain out finely ground coffee. This is a fine mesh like a pair of panty hose to give you an idea.

I don't think you would want to use this for coffee. In this tea kettle, the water circulates through the infuser. The tea is then infused. When you make coffee, the technique is more a drip. You want the water to drip through the coffee, not continue to circulate through it. Also, after examining the holes in the infuser part of the tea kettle, I think the coffee grinds are too fine and would fall out of the holes.

You can still make coffee with it, but it won't have an even filter of water over the entire container of coffee. I would say yes, to have a great cup of coffee.

Yes, but you will need a conversion K-cup. It's a K-cup sized apparatus that you put normal grounds in and run it through this machine.

No. This takes pre filled k cups or you can buy a filter cup and use regular coffee grounds in it.
