<p>I have inherited a Krups Nespresso machine model F893. The machine has a detachable filter basket, where you sit the Nespresso capsule. Manual here (for reference): <a href="https://manuall.co.uk/krups-f893-espresso-machine/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">manual</a></p>

<p>I am wondering if I can swap out the filter basket holder for one that takes a basket of ground coffee, like <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Krups-Espresso-Machine-963-972-Primo-Original-Part-Filter-Holder-Basket-Black-/372350848524" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>. The fittings look superficially similar.</p>

<p>Or just shove a basket for ground coffee in the current filter basket holder?</p>

<p>Has anyone tried this? Many thanks! </p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-08-15)

I have inherited a Krups Nespresso machine model F893. The machine has a detachable filter basket, where you sit the Nespresso capsule. Manual here (for reference): [manual](https://manuall.co.uk/krups-f893-espresso-machine/)

I am wondering if I can swap out the filter basket holder for one that takes a basket of ground coffee, like [this](https://www.ebay.com/itm/Krups-Espresso-Machine-963-972-Primo-Original-Part-Filter-Holder-Basket-Black-/372350848524). The fittings look superficially similar.

Or just shove a basket for ground coffee in the current filter basket holder?

Has anyone tried this? Many thanks!

 But this comes with some disadvantages too, like the capsule can only hold 5 grams of coffee, maybe 6.
