can i use preground coffee in my delonghi magnifica s automatic machine? beans are expensive.

Yes. Use pre-ground coffee labeled for espresso machines.

Fix:

1. Lift the pre-ground coffee funnel lid (A5).
2. Add no more than one measure (the provided scoop C1) of pre-ground coffee into the funnel (A6).
3. Close the lid. Turn the selection dial (B6) to the pre-ground coffee symbol.
4. Press the 1-cup or 2-cup button to brew.

Heads up: Do not use oily or flavored pre-ground coffees, as they can clog the machine. Clean the pre-ground coffee funnel after each use.
