I saw at a Friend’s house an espresso machine that uses ground coffee. The brand is called Delongui, which machine is it, does anyone knows?

I’d like to use a packet of coffee in a pod adapter instead of tamping ground coffee. Thanks.

Can I use Starbucks/Kivu/Peet brand finely ground coffee in an Espresso Machine?

I just don’t want to buy a coffee grinder and beans, seems like too much trouble.

Also is there a big taste difference between grinding your own beans and just buying ground coffee?

I’m getting an espresso machine off of Target.com and I’m not sure what kind of coffee to buy.. is it better to grind your own, buy the pods, or just use regular ground coffee?? Thanks!

Here’s the deal: Husband goes to grocery and buys coffee. Comes home and notices he bought whole bean instead of ground coffee. We don’t have a coffee grinder and don’t want to buy one. Is there a way to grind the beans some other way with common household items?

I accidentially bought whole beans rather that the ground coffee and I don’t have a coffee grinder. Would a food chopper work? Any other suggestions?

Meaning, I bought regular ground coffee and do not have a coffee machine (it is not instant coffee)… Is there a way to make it without having floaties or without a coffee machine??

Thanks in advance
Dayle, sorry, what is a French press? LOL!! My family are not coffee drinkers, so I’m new to a lot of this (if that’s not already obvious!!)
