What kind of Grind coffee for this machine? Is it Drip grind?

I buy regular ground coffee (Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts) or beans which I grind. I recommend regular ground coffee, or grind the beans yourself. Do not grind the coffee to a powder (like for espresso). I LOVE this machine - and it looks cool with the nice shade of turquoise blue light at night. It makes noticeably good coffee!

This machine does not grind the coffee beans. You must use a separate grinder.

I use any coffee and grind it fine ( or buy it already ground). As long as you don't grind it too small there is no problem. I usually get a dark, deep roasted espresso like one. I hope this helps.

We use regular drip coffee. But if you ground up your beans, I am sure you could use them too. We just haven't ground any beans to put in the pot, yet.

Glass carafe for the KGB and stainless for the KB. I have the glass - Best drip style coffee maker I've ever owned. Pair with a cuisinart conical burr grinder for an extremely consistent cup. You can really dial in your preferred flavor with this combo.

I just buy espresso grind coffee, making sure that arabica beans are used 100%. But, I am not a coffee connoisseur by any means. You will have to wait for the machine to cool almost completely before you use it again. My biggest reason for having at least two of these.

this machine is designed for extracting espresso via pressurized extraction using grounds and also using ese pods. this does not make drip coffee. #bootscoffeebar @bootscoffeebar bootscoffeebar.com

yes, but don't recommend it. The whole purpose of the grind and brew is to have freshly ground beans for the most flavorful coffee.

Not that I know of. You may need to adjust the amount of coffee you use. we like strong coffee and find the grind just over medium good for a drip style coffee maker

I'm not a coffee expert, but from everything I have read and experienced, the quality, freshness of the roast and the grind will determine how good your coffee experience is. I would at least choose an espresso grind when choosing coffee beans. (Finer ground then coffee for drip machines)

I have never thought that drip coffee was great. However, I have a good experience with my Cuisinart. The "secret" is that I am using a dark rich "italian roast" that I buy at a high end grocery. I have tried a few "boutique" brands and the italian roach is by far the best. I think the reason is that unlike esspresso machines, the temperature in drip machine is not as high. Therefore, I am using richer coffee to compensate.

Happy coincidence, as I text this response, I'm drinking a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee ($51/lb!) freshly ground in my Baratza. The coarse grind setting is perfect for my Bodum press. I couldn't be happier. BTW, works all the way to an almost powder fine grind for an espresso maker, also. You can't go wrong!

It is a fine grind, like coffee. I brewed it in a small auto drip coffee maker (cone filter) but found it very week even when made with an enormous quantity. Perhaps it might be better in a french press...I do not know, since I gave up on it!

I have not used it for Expresso Grind, however, there is a setting. I would also say that for a drip coffee maker, it is almost set at the maximum (largest grind). This would indicate to me that the finer grinds are all that ... fine grinds.

This coffee maker makes drip coffee, not espresso. Not sure what "cafe style" means since the taste of your coffee depends a lot on the beans you use as well as the coffee maker. This coffee maker will make a decent cup of coffee if you follow the directions and use good coffee beans to begin with with.

The coffee should be very rich and full flavored. Use 2.2g per ounce of filtered water. The grind should be a bit finer than French press but slightly coarser than what would be used for drip

You should use a finer grind of coffee when brewing with a drip cone than you use with a regular coffee maker. With the proper grind and correct tempure of a water, you can get a strong, dark cup of coffee that lacks the bitter, burnt taste of a regular coffee maker.
