How do I brew coffee using pre-ground coffee instead of beans?

Open the lid of the pre-ground coffee compartment and pour one leveled measuring scoop of pre-ground coffee into it, then close the lid. Select a single drink, then press and hold the aroma strength icon for 3 seconds until the pre-ground coffee light turns on. Press the start/stop button to brew; note that you can only brew one coffee at a time with pre-ground coffee. (Page 9)
