Yes you can. Unit comes with reusable pod holder (uses K cups) and several other different coffee/tea holders. Coffee is hotter than Keurig and does not burn out after a year or two like most Keurig. This is a single cup server and does not store water for later. Fills my 14 oz mug. Best buy in this type of coffee maker.

The BUNN comes with a reusable tray that you can fill with your own coffee grounds or tea leaves. You don't need to buy a separate adapter.

The unit is 1400 watts, any common 15 amp AC outlet can handle the load with ease. This machine is for coffee pods only. Search for the Bunn MCU Single Serve Multi-Use Brewer for a model that can be used 4 different ways. That model will make just hot water, or use coffee pods, or use regular loose ground coffee, or the "K" cups. These Bunn brewers are "first class" for single serve coffee makers and are well worth the money!

You CAN use your own coffee if you have the drawer for that. It only comes with one pod drawer though. There are separate drawers for K-cups, tea & ground coffee.

Yes you can but, it won't be hot. I returned two because the first one was missing parts,the second one the coffee was not hotand it had electrical defects.

I have never tried to use my own coffee with my pod maker. Not sure if you can or not. To use my own coffee, I use myKeurig.

The coffee maker is 1000 watt. It takes about 3 to 4 minutes to brew 12 delicious hot cups of coffee!

Mine runs on normal 110 and makes the very best coffee! However, since this is made in Italy, I am sure that some of these (made for purchase in Europe) will run on 220. If you buy it in the states, 110 is the standard.

I've read that it's half horsepower, which makes it 373 watts (full horsepower is 746 watts, I googled it). I've also read that this brand is 700 watts. So I don't know which. Somewhere I also read that amps x volts=watts. So I read that it's 120 amps, but what are the volts? If someone can post a pic of the noted wattage on the actual machine, or at least the amps and volts, that'd be great. I know that Cuisinart has a 600 watt 11 cup capacity with dough blade. Still weighing my options.

No, It will run anything up to 300watts, my single cup coffee maker takes 600watts.

I have not seen an adaptation for your own coffee use. My main complaint was the coffee and milk were not hot enough. My aeriator also did not foam milk well.

Not sure on watts. It doesn't state on machine. It does state: power 120W, Volts 110V. Hope that helps. We use it lot. It is loud, but works great!

You should consider this machine to be load limited (full-time and NOT counting higher starting loads!) to around 1600 watts (figure about 15 amps). Without knowing the running/starting loads of each appliance (should be listed in the specs), it's not possible to give you a better answer. Good unit though, starts easily and runs quietly.

1500 watts. Added information you might want... 120V 60HZ All this information is located by the model number on the bottom of every Keurig.

Thanks everyone for their responses, all very helpful! I'll definitely get more than 1500W. I'll only use it to make a cup or two at a time, so won't be for any extended periods. Thanks again!

Can you use you own coffee? We roast of own coffee and while this unit looks very convenient, I'm not willing to give up my fresh roasted coffee.

My unit says 125V on the power cord, but there is no label on the unit. The manual says to refer to label, which does not exist! You may want to call the place that shipped my unit, Seattle Coffee Gear at 866-372-4734.

Unlikely - it only provides less than an amp of current - US coffeemakers are usually over 10 amps

It has the standard U.S. requirement. Which is 120 volt, 60 HZ. This coffee maker is also rated at 1500 watts.

not sure about watts, 110 volts. I enjoy my single cup maker, but I have decided that it doesn't give me a HOT cup of coffee, more like extra warm.

It will certainly run a coffee maker, but watch the power consumption of your heater. Both together should be around 1,400 watts.

Not sure what the wattage is on it but it died after only 6-8 months. We only used it once a day...in the morning to boil water for our French Press for coffee.
