4.0 out of 5 stars Cheap like me? Yeah, you're gonna like this too..., February 27, 2006
By 
This review is from: Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter (Kitchen)
Being frugal (all right, cheap) by nature, I held off on buying a single-serve coffeemaker until I could find one I liked that offered a reusable filter. When Keurig came out with the B-40 Elite, a handsome, reasonably priced unit, and announced that it would be releasing its "My K-Cup" reusable filter for separate sale early in 2006, I was primed. As soon as I saw this product on Keurig's website, I was ready to buy my new coffeemaker from Amazon.com and the filter from Keurig's web site. My only wish was that Amazon.com would stock the reusable filter so buyers could purchase the coffeemaker and filter in one fell swoop, and here my wish is about to come to pass!

I have had my Keurig B-40 Elite for about a month now, and I've had great success with it. Bear in mind that if you're using the reusable filter, you must first remove the black plastic K-Cup holder from the unit's filter assembly (instructions on how to do this are included with "My K-Cup"; the black piece in...

4.0 out of 5 stars Here's a tip for stronger coffee, October 10, 2008
By

This review is from: Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter (Kitchen)
After reading many reviews about the problems with the My K-Cup and experimenting on my own, I have found an easy solution to the problem of weak coffee using this filter. As others have noted, the water goes through the My K-Cup way too fast as compared to the K-Cups. My solution was to take apart a K-Cup and use the outer plastic shell with the My K-Cup filter. Here's all you need to do:

Take a used K-Cup and cut the top foil off of a K-Cup. Cut the paper filter out of the K-Cup. It's okay not to cut it all the way off of the rim of the K-Cup because you will need to cut the top of the K-Cup (where it gets wider at the top). You need to cut the top of the K-Cup off because you need to fit the K-Cup shell into the My K-Cup holder. Once you slide the bottom shell of the K-Cup into the holder, you can add your coffee into the My K-Cup (tapping or gently pressing the coffee so that it is not loose inside the filter). Then place the My K-Cup filter into the holder... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Found a way to fix the issue with water splashing everywhere., January 4, 2010
This review is from: Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter (Kitchen)
So I bought this filter, installed it, and when I made my first cup of coffee water splashed everywhere and I got a ton of coffee grounds in my coffee. After playing with it for a while and wasting almost 10 cups of coffee, I finally figured out how to fix it.

There is a needle on the top that, when the handle is closed, inserts into the hole in the reusable filter. Surrounding this needle is a rubber gasket. Gently pull this gasket down a little bit. Be careful, not to pull it off completely. Once I did that no more mess and better tasting coffee.

3.0 out of 5 stars Does what it should, pain to clean up, February 11, 2011
By

This review is from: Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter 5048
This does exactly what it advertises - lets you use your own coffee rather than a K-cup. For those that complained about leaks, it's all in how you put it together. You have to make sure there are no coffee grounds around the lip of the container before you put the lid on. If you have coffee grounds between the filter and the lip or between the filter and the lid, it will not seal properly and will leak. This leads to:
A. A mess
B. Gross, weak coffee
C. Grounds in the coffee

As long as you put it together properly and have the top free and clear of grounds there should be no problem. Avoid overfilling.

The one thing that I don't like is the cleanup hassle. You have to bang the filter cup in the trash can to try an knock out as many grounds as possible (coffee grounds are bad to put down the drain). Then rinse the thing. Now that your fingers are wet, you'll likely get new grounds stuck to them when you try to fill the thing for the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars leaking caused by overfilling, December 6, 2010
This review is from: Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter 5048
I've used My K cup for a year because, fresh ground local roasted beans tastes batter than something than coffee sitting on the shelf.

I know that when I overfill the mesh cup, it will leak. I also use a dedicated toothbrush for cleaning the mesh cup and plastic lid.

For those Keurig users concerned about waste while using pods, or for those who still want to use their own coffee grounds, this is perfect.

3.0 out of 5 stars Has it's problems, December 7, 2009
This review is from: Keurig My K-Cup 2-Pack Reusable Coffee Filter Basket Replacement (Misc.)
Something that is important to be aware of is that you can't use just any ground coffee in this filter. I have a Kuerig Elite and bought a standard bag of Dunkin Donuts ground coffee and when I first tried to use it, the water going into the cup overflowed and came out of the overflow which essentially watered down the coffee considerably and had water pouring everywhere. I tried it again, this time with a little less coffee in the filter and had the same result. I contacted Kuerig customer support and they replied and told me to make sure I didn't pack the coffee, the filter was clean, and that the grind wasn't too fine because a fine grind would clog the filter. I cleaned the filter very carefully and even stirred the coffee grounds with the end of the spoon to ensure that it wasn't packed. The results were the same. I haven't tried using a different brand but I will. As for now though, the idea is great but I'm not convinced that there isn't a possible design flaw with this... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Gives you options, July 27, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Keurig My K-Cup 2-Pack Reusable Coffee Filter Basket Replacement (Misc.)
If you have a Keurig brewer then you need these extra filter baskets to please the other coffee drinkers in the morning. One works, but you don't need to constantly wash them before brewing another cup. While there are many flavors and types of K-cups, there is none better than using your own grind.
