It is possible if you buy a kerig refillable filter cup (web site: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/Solofill-reg-V1-Gold-Refillable-Filter-Cup-for-Keurig-reg-Vue-Brewing-Sytems/1041166376?Keyword=keurig) at a retail store such as bed bath and beyond or true value hardware store. This filter screen will fit in the pod holder allowing either coffee or loose tea to be used.

Yes but you need to buy the pods to fill....they are cheaper than buying the pods but they leak a little you have to put the end that is attachedto the top and bottom toward the back and the leakage is less. i buy the pods and use it when we are not drinking alot of coffee. Good for one or two cups a day

Yes, you can. You have to adjust how tightly you compress the coffee in them at first, but they work good.

No, but I have seen a gadget that makes pods. Maybe you could make your own coffee pods and use the pod drawer that comes with the brewer.

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.

Unfortunately, Melitta pods don't really fit correctly in the Senseo Machine. They are much fuller and denser, too dense for the single cup tray and a little to thin to fill a double. I had the feeling that the necessary pressure wasn't there to make proper use of the coffee pod, still a bit too much water left in the tray after making a cup. This is bad news for us. We really love our Senseo machine and will have to change our coffee rituals if the appropriate pods are no longer available.

My understanding is that pods can be used, but I'm old school (and cheap!) so I use ground beans and a tamper.

I'm not sure if we care referring to the same coffee maker. Mine is the BUNN MY CAFE single cup multi-use brewer. If that is the coffee maker you are referring to, then yes! I place the pods in the drawer with the edges (where the pod is sealed) down rather than just lay the pod in the opening, because the entire pod needs to be in the pod cavity and they want to lay on top.

No....definitely not as the nespresso pods are much smaller. I got a K-cupholder from Amazon which holds 35 k-cups which is great.

Yes, it comes equipped with a basket for loose coffee but the pods work better.

You should use pods,although I believe now there are plastic refillable pods you can use your own in. I really do like this machine and use it a lot.

If the pod is the same size and shape as the Kcup, I don't see why not. I keep the little plastic cups to use my own coffee in there as well as the teaspoon. Hope this helps.

I have the Hamilton Beach single cup coffee maker and it uses the Senseo coffee pods or these. You have to put one in the bottom of the holder then flip the top closed and set the second on top of that. Works great for two of these pods. I wish I could attach a picture. If you look at the Hamilton Beach coffee maker it shows the pod holder that is supposed to work with the Senseo coffee maker too.

You can use loose ground coffee. The one cup maker has a filter with an extremely fine mesh that keeps the coffee grounds from flowing to your cup.

You may have to use more coffee grounds than what they say to get the flavor you want. I switched to Senseo pods and the Senseo coffee pot as it was closer to the full flavor. .. but more expensive.

There are 'reusable' pods things out of plastic that you can refill yourself, but I don't think you can just dump in coffee.

you can sit coffee maker on something like a drawer that holds your pods, then with the drip try removed you can fit a taller cup. Mine is on something so i can drip into travel cup it can be done, but some may not feel its worth reconfiguring.

I have never tried, however looking at the Nespresso pods, these are a slightly different size, so I would say no.
