Summary: Plastic Cup Needs A Re-design!
Comment: I like to brew my own coffee.
When I saw the K-cup, I decided to give it a try. I was not completely happy with it. First clean up was a pain because I had to dump out the used coffee grinds in the trash. Then rinse out the remaining coffee grinds from the coffee filter in the sink and wash the K cup. Second, the plastic cup is not durable. All the teeth on the cup have broken off. After having enough, I set out to find a replacement.
I saw the great reviews for the Perfect Pod Holster Use Any Pod in Your Keurig Coffee Maker - Over 10,000 Sold and Perfect Pod Coffee Pod Maker + Replacment Coffee Filters and decided to give them a try. Unfortunately Perfect Pod Holster did not work out for me. I own a Keurig B40 so the coffee squirted all over the counter while it was brewing. If you own a coffee maker with a smaller spout, Perfect Pod Holster may work for you. Perfect Pod Maker is a great solution because I can make my own pods. Clean up is so much easier now. All I have to do now is to dump out the used pod in the trash and wash the K cup.
Although the design for the plastic K cup does need to be improved, I now use my K cup with the coffee filter and a pod until there's a better product out there.
I think the ideal product would be something cross between the K cup and the pod holster.

Summary: Add this to your Keurig coffee maker
Comment: The K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter completes this coffee system. While we enjoy all the varieties and the ease of the K-Cups, this reusable filter allows us to use other coffees we enjoy that are not available in K-Cups. It is easy to use and easy to clean.

Summary: Careful
Comment: This is a great product if it fits. We have two machines - both supposedly one cuppers. We have the deluxe model and the economy model. The cup fits fine in the economy one, but not so in the deluxe. Make sure it will fit your model, or that you can return it.

Summary: The technology of the Keurig with my own grounds? Brilliant!
Comment: I work for a VERY well known coffee chain (haha) and so I get a free pound of joe a week... obviously buying the k cups would be a silly waste of money. I love this machine but I hate the available coffee pods... fresh ground is the only way to go for my palette.
The Reusable filter, while not exactly durable, allows for some of the best coffee I've ever made. Even my tea drinking fiancee has turned in to a total coffee nerd since I perfected the use of this product. Success!
Anyway I found that when I grind my beans to a metal filter setting it works the best... this would be slightly finer than a french press grind. A good visual would be a texture only slightly finer than kosher salt.
Using 2 tablespoons, slightly packed down (or actually 3tbsp, in my case to counteract the weaker result with the coarse grind,) the resulting cup of coffee is bold, free of grounds, and has a lovely almost espresso-like crema at the top and minimal sludge at the bottom. I hate drip coffee because it's far to bitter and most of the volatile oils from the coffee are lost in the process.
Another good way to keep the flavor of the coffee is by putting your condiments at the bottom of the cup so the flavor gets locked in as soon as possible. Remember... the longer you let coffee sit, the more of those precious volatile oils are lost. If you like the taste of milk or sugar in your coffee, adding it to the coffee PRIOR to brewing so the coffee falls right in to it will help slow that acidic turnover down. (There's a reason baristas throw away any espresso shot more than 10-15 seconds old... it's because it turns into a black acidic extract!!!)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Just what I expected!
Comment: This product is great for brewing your own coffee grounds! Though the little K-Cups are great for the quick cup of coffee, buying this reusable filter helps keep the costs down as you can put your own grounds in. Daily routine: Get up, grind coffee (separate grinder), put grounds in filter and brew. Easy to interchange with K-Cup adapter that the Keurig comes with.
