Using Silvia as a coffeemaker?

Non-espresso that is...

The other night, we had company over and I was making coffee with press pot.

A guest looked over at Silvia and asked, "Can't you just put drip grind coffee in the espresso machine and use that to make coffee?"

Heck, I never thought of that. Have any of you used your espresso machine with loosely packed coarse grind coffee in the portafilter basket to make a cup of regular coffee?

Of course you can. Will it be a good espresso? No of course not. Can you use espresso grind in your press pot? Yes of course you can Will it be a good press pot ? Yes it will be, better than you used to have.

I guess I never thought of putting a coarser grind of coffee in the portafilter in an attempt to pull a "regular" cup of coffee. My first impulse would be to pull a double and add hot water from the boiler to about six ounces total.
