I have the opportunity to purchase a near new Ascaso Dream dedicated pod machine...[pods only] can anyone tell me what I would need to do to change it over to grounds....I am not interested in using pods. Do I need to change the grouphead and portafilter completely of just the portafilter and baskets?
I know some of these machines use both pods and grounds but this one is definitely pods only...
would appreciate any info...thanks.

Hi, the group head is totally different so unless you are getting the machine almost for free I don't think it's worth it. The pod system on the normal one is through a dedicated PF.

Thanks Tribe3 I suspected something like that, I will give it a miss...
