A:AnswerYes, the amount of beans ground is the same for each of the three options for brewing. I like dark roast coffee and prefer it a bit stronger than most…it meets my expectations.
A:AnswerMy daughter told me that she has opened the Pods and put the grounds in the other cup for ground coffee and it worked for her. Just switch cups and use the one for ground coffee.
A:AnswerMine does this too, no matter what brand I use. Sometimes you can use a pin to puncture a tiny hole and it might stop this but it helps about 50-50. I hate this coffee pot for this alone.
