[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reviews on Moccamaster say you need to grind your beans?  Is that true?  I have a grinder, but it's a cheap one, and I'd prefer to use Cafe Bustelo pre-ground coffee.

[quote]This looked great on the website. Then you find out:
1. Can't use reverse osmosis water. I would never use my tap water, it's so hard it would ruin the machine just like it ruins my water faucets and shower heads with mineral deposits. So now I have to buy bottled Spring Water?
2. Can't use gold filter or regular grocery store paper filters, they only want you to use their special Technivorm paper filters, which you have to buy online?
3. You can't use regular pre-ground coffee, it's "too fine" for this machine. So now you need a coffee grinder and have to grind your own beans![/quote]

First seeing this.  I use a regular #4 filter from grocery store and regular ground coffee.  I usually get coffee from Trader Joe’s and grind in their machine.  But we’ve picked up bags of ground coffee from Starbucks or DD on occasion.  Never had any issues or notice any quality problems.  I use regular tap water that isn’t the softest.  Again, no issues.  I do run a cycle of surgical descaler every 100 brews (every time I use up a box of 100 filters) and I clean the removable parts with a soak and scrub in cafiza cleaner [/quote]
