Great accessory.......2007-06-06

So I just purchased the Keurig B60, which I reviewed separately. I also purchased this little gizmo as I have a lot of coffee at my house.

After reading other reviews, my primary concern was the durability of the plastic...some reviewers commented that the holder had broken, etc. I've had this for 1 day so I can't comment on that.

What I can comment on is why this thing is great:

1.) You are concerned about the environment to the extent that the k-cups aren't something you wish to throw away on a daily basis.
2.) You don't like the selection of K-Cup coffees out there.
3.) You have an absolute favorite coffee that you can't get in a K-Cup.
4.) You just like buying things at Amazon.com

If you agree with any of those, this accessory will suit you.

My recommendations:

1.) Medium/Coarse grinds do not brew a very strong cup of coffee. Consider getting a finer grind.
2.) Pack the grinds into the filter like you see people do when making espresso...you'll get more flavor out of the coffee.
3.) don't overfill - the grinds will come out.

Overall, this thing works well. I'll likely use it when my wife wants her "Green Mountain Coconut Hazelnut" that you can't get anywhere but on the GMCR site. And keeping a zillion plastic k-cups out of landfills isn't bad either.

Keurig My K-Cup Reuseable Coffee Filter - It is what it is.......2007-05-30

I made a cup of Starbucks Komodo Dragon (my favorite!) coffee with the K-Cup reusable filter. I wouldn't recommend trying this product for your first cup of coffee, better to wait until your eye hand coordination ramps up a bit.
The first challenge was filling the Lilliputian filter basket; good luck hitting it on the first try! The second challenge was the lid; it didn't screw on comfortably and when I tried to remove the lid I thought it might break. The third and final obstacle was removing the standard K-Cup holder from my Keurig B60. The reusable filter box had vague instructions and grainy before/after pics, how could I go wrong? After a big struggle and a little cursing I figured out how to remove the standard K-cup holder without piercing my hand. Now that I have the technique down it is fairly easy to swap the K-Cup holder for the filter. It is still a little dangerous to make the change; I would recommend that the manufacturer consider a safety feature that locks the lid open for maintenance.
In conclusion, this product works for those moments when you want to brew a specific cup of non k-cup coffee. I could have made an entire standard pot of Komodo Dragon in less time than it took me to clean, fill, dismantle, assemble, disassemble, clean and reassemble for my one cup. Better yet, I could have made a cup of coffee with a K-cup in less time than it took me to decide which kind I was going to make.

Optionability!.......2007-05-25

This product gives me the ability to use brands of coffee not available in k-cup varieties. Although many of them are very good, there are a couple of local brands here in Hawaii that are outstanding. Thank you Keurig for making this option available.

Great Little Product.......2007-05-21

Very simple to use and no problem if you read and follow directions. Use coarse coffee for best results. Shake a regular K-cup, you can hear the grounds which means the coffee is coarse. Be gentle when you put the top on. It goes on very easily; no force required. Fill the little basket to just below the plastic rim. Cleaning is no problem. Right after the coffee brews brews rinse the lid and holder under the faucet and use the hose sprayer to clean the basket and it gets all the residue out of the mesh. I have a Kroger store near me which carries different blends of Millstone ground coffee in little 1.75oz bags for $1.59. You can pour the coffee from the little bag directly into the basket. Like others I do recommend doing this over the sink for any stray coffee grounds.

The my K-cup doesn't stand up the wear of daily use!.......2007-05-21

I love the idea of this product, but the my K-Cup does not stand up to daily use. The product is a poor design and I can almost guarentee that if you use this daily you will need to replace it in one month. The top screws on and notches that hold the top to the body of the filer will crack and break. This causes the my K-cup to loose its seal and water leaks out all over so it makes a mess and a bad cup of coffee. I have had my K-cup since Feburary and I have replace the my K-Cup 3 times already. I just got 3 weeks ago and it broke again today. If you purchase the Keurig brewer just plan on using the ready-made K-cups.
