Can I put coffee ground down this unit? What about the Evolution Essential model?

Weput coffee grounds down our cheaper Insinkerator for years with no clogs. Once a week we fill the sink half full with water, remove the stopper and immediately start the Insinkerator. That quickly flushes the sink drain line clear.

I have the evolution Excel 1 ph. model. I have not seen anything about coffee grounds being a problem. I wash coffee down with running water and the unit off. The grounds simply pass through the grinding area and down the drain. I did make the mistake of disposing of artichokes once many years ago and totally blocked the drain. That did not do anything to the disposal unit but sure did make a mess getting through the blockage with a full sink of water.

I flush coffee grounds down this thing every single day. I usually wait until all of my 4 days of french presses are dirty, then I rinse all grounds into the drain, then I run cold water, turn on the disposal, a jolt is heard, some loud noises for a couple seconds (due to 4 days of coffee grounds) then its smooth and quiet and all is well. I have been doing this with every disposal I have ever had though, and never was there a problem

Yes, I have put coffee grounds down this unit with complete success many times a day in some cases.

I can't say about coffee grounds as I put them on plants around the house, however, this disposal has eaten everything I have given it thus far.

I have no experience with the "Essential" model, but I have no regrets at all with the "Evolution".... Coffee grounds, banana peels, onion skins, meat, bones... No problem whatsoever.... And it is so quiet, after I turn it off I find myself checking the chamber to see if it actually did anything and there is not a trace of any food items left. This thing is just great!

No, fill the water accordingly with amount of ground coffee of your choice and your liking. I didn't follow their instruction of using coarse ground, fine ground works for me.

It's very easy to use either whole bean or ground. Just push one simple button on the front to turn the grind off and put your ground coffee right in the basket.

No. What ever you use needs to be ground. So either buy ground coffee or grind it yourself. Hmmm. Sounds good right about now.

Okay- so I just checked this out: http://www.breworganic.com/coffee/howtoroast.htm& the beans need to be in motion to prevent scorching- so this model would definitely not do it! Hope this all helps!

You can add water only up to the level line where marked inside and use less coffee grains to make it weak. It will work that way too.

I take the pods back to the store for recycling, but I don't think every store does that (I live in NYC). There's a contraption called the Outpresso that makes it easy to empty the coffee grounds (once they're empty they can be recycled anywhere). Unfortunately it's not widely available, but I think it can be ordered: http://www.outpresso.com/index-e-1.htm.

Yes. The unit will accept ground coffee, but whole beans make the best coffee.

No, that us why I bought this model. Just rinse out the reusable basket filter. No grounds go into your coffee.

was told by Dolce Gusto customer service that we should never leave water in the tank, in other words, just put enough water to brew coffee and then remove tank, empty it and replace. Mine's been taken away today and I won't be seeing it for nearly a month. Hope they can fix problem as I have a large stock of coffee that cost me a lot of money.

I assume that you actually put the ground coffee into the water reservoir, so just turn the machine upside-down to remove as much as possible, then rinse the reservoir out with water.

Not physically possible to remove the entire coffee unit, but if you do not wish to use the coffee maker just don't switch it on. You can use all other appliances separately at your own discretion.

It is not fine ground - more like medium. SO it doesn't work too well if you coffee maker uses #4 or so. It is good coffee but has gone up in price now so you are better off with Fairway or Zabar's (in NY) otherwise coffee is expensive.

It will do a good job but static electricity can be a problem with coarser grinds. Tap on the unit after grinding and s l o w l y remove the container of ground coffee and you shouldn't have any problems.....

Yes, it's easy to remove the hopper and get to the burrs (but I don't remember the last time I did that). I put so much coffee through it daily there's no chance for stale ground coffee to accumulate. As I recall, a little brush comes with the grinder. --Jene

Sorry can't help with this one. I only used it once and it left coffee grounds all over the place so I just trashed them.
