What kind of coffee/grind do you recommend using for this coffee maker? Is the cord compatible with US outlets?

on mine I use different coffee/ fairly fine grind. the cord I got with the machine was the USA plug outlets. I use it in australia as well wiht different cord. I found that the same cord that is on my computer power sorce works it is the three prong one. the machine I have is 240/110 compatable. I like it but for me it does not make a big enough cup, I need to make two little pots for my cup of coffee.

Espresso grind coffee. Yes, does fit US outlets. Makes a very small amount of coffee, and then you have to clean it out if you want more. It was my only option in a hotel.

I always use LAVAZZA and don't know the other brands. It has an extra socket for US outlets.

The fine grind is the best. Sometimes is also called espresso grind. Yes my came with US outlet cord. Actually the cord is very convenient because it can be detached from coffeemaker and replaced with any other outlet design. the coffeemaker end has standard computer cord plug. And coffeemaker is 110 - 230 V so just by buying couple standard computer cords with different otlet plugs you can use this coffeemaker all around world

No. It works on standard US current. If you are working outside of the US an adapter would probably do it. It is labor intensive but that is it charm. You will have guns like Michelle Obama if you drink a lot of espresso. I also vacillate between the beans, so I think pods are for debutantes.

Hello, I do not recommend buying that coffee machine at all, mine burnt out after 2 months of careful use. But if you still decide to make the purchase, make sure they send it to you with the right plug (or you get an outlet adapter), and compatible with the power in UK (220 V) versus 110V in USA ( a transformer/adapter will do the job). Good luck!

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

I'm using an all purpose grind (Starb_cks C_f_ V_r_na), 6 coffee measures (old C-F-Nuts measure) for an 8 cup pot. Using M-L_tt_ #4 paper filters, and coffee is very good. Found that some St_rb_ks stores grind coffee coarser than others, even when you specify conical filter. Like the pot; makes cosistently good brew.

It should enable you to connect the coffee maker to the us type connection but be sure that the machine is designed to operate on 110 volts. The adaptor in question is not a voltage converter. It is simply a plug adaptor.

I am sorry but NO. U.S. uses 110 voltages. This coffeemaker use 220 voltage. You would need a transformer to convert. I hope I answered your question.

Hi Michelle - yes, the Senseo machine I purchased was designed for the US market, so the plug is a flat-blade two prong. One consideration can be if the spout is adjustable for taller cups. The one I replaced was, but the one I purchased from Amazon does not, so I have to tilt the cup to remove it. Or, I have found that removing the pod holder and the spout before removing the cup works better.

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.

I use a medium grind. I prefer Peet's coffee and buy it from the grocery already ground and that consistency always works well. I prefer a strong cup of coffee so I add a bit more than I do when brewing for guests.

It is electric, 120 V (regular US power outlet). It is about 18" long, 12"high, 12 wide. It is much bigger then the small home coffee makers, but cooks 2.5 cups of beans. we get about 6-8 pots of coffee from one roast. We love ours. weight is about 10lb. You do have to watch it, we had one get stuck and melted part of the machine quite badly, and a second one caught on fire..(we roast on our patio- because there is a lot of smoke). The company sent us a replacement, and said they had improved it since we purchased the one that went up in flames...REALLY UP IN FLAMES!! - check out Sweet Maria, I posted photos. But we are using the third one now, and do like it a lot...we are just very careful with it!!

I'm not really sure, but I don' think it is compatible. The Amazon coffee maker cord has a tapered female plug whereas the Corning Ware E-1210 percolator plug is squared off. The size of the electrical pins may not match.

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.

The cord from surface of coffee pot (cord inserted) to where plug would be flush with wall when plugged in (in other words your actual distance) is 25.5". No. Mine is not a cool bottom. I noticed my counter was warm (enough to bother me) so I have mine on a trivet. I believe Folgers, etc. off-the-shelf coffees will work just fine in an electric perc. They used to when everyone had perc coffee pots. After drip became the common norm, the grind may have been modified to follow that trend.

I have found the link below helpful on the grind setting for each method. I tweak it based on my liking and coffee properties.http://www.thecoffeechaser.com/a-guide-to-grinding-your-beans/

I use Costco columbian, which I assume is a regular grind, although I don't think it would matter much. The coffee comes out of a small hole in the cone. I ordered a package of #2 Melita filters, but found that the Costco filters could be easily cut to fit the cones.

All depends on your brewing method. Regular autodrip (think Mr. Coffee style maker) use medium grind. French Press and Percolators need a coarse grind. Espresso machines need a fine grind.
