FAQs

Are reusable K-Cups worth it? ›

Disposable K-Cups generate significant waste, as they are typically made of plastic and are only sometimes recyclable. In contrast, refillable K-Cups only produce leftover coffee grounds, which can be composted, resulting in less environmental harm [[1](5 Best Reusable K-Cups - July 2023 - BestReviews)].

The Keurig Universal Reusable Filter can fit any model of Keurig machine, but other reusable cups may only be compatible with certain models. Check the K-cup's packaging to see which Keurig machines they work with.

It's also really nice that this refillable filter is an all-in-one - the holder and filter mesh are all built in together. It does not require disposable paper filters, too, like some of the other refillable holders on the market.

The My K-Cup holds 10 grams of coffee, the equivalent of the standard 2 tablespoons needed for an 8-ounce cup. Disassemble the lid of the reusable cup, turning it counter-clockwise against the grey holder, and remove its silvery metal filter basket.

Filling the Filter

For a light cup of coffee, use 1-2 tablespoons of ground coffee. For a medium cup of coffee, use 2-3 tablespoons of ground coffee. For a strong cup of coffee, use 3-4 tablespoons of ground coffee.

Reusing a K-Cup doesn't just change the beverage. It directly impacts the brewing cycle, where only the right conditions the first time around create the perfect cup. The second attempt yields a less-than-ideal drink. Beyond taste, reusing a K-Cup creates sanitation concerns.

A: The Keurig My K-Cup Universal Reusable Coffee Filter is compatible with all Keurig Home Coffee Makers. Please note, you may need to remove the 2.0 adapter on the bottom of the accessory and the K-Cup Holder in your brewer in order for it to fit properly.

Simply by filling your own eco-friendly coffee pods, an average household can save over $300 a year, making refillables a much more economical choice.

WHICH COFFEE BEANS SHOULD I USE FOR THE REUSABLE K-CUP? To get the best experience, you should use a dark roast or a medium-dark roast. If you use a lighter roast, it will brew weak coffee (under-extracted). You are brewing coffee not tea, you wouldn't want this experience.

Medium grind is the best for your Keurig: Medium grind will produce a cup of coffee that is not too strong or too weak. Grind your beans at home to get the best flavor and consistency: Grind your own beans for the best cup of coffee you can get.

Why was Keurig 2.0 discontinued? ›

The problem with Keurig 2.0 is with the machine's DRM (Digital Rights Management) system. DRM makes it so Keurig 2.0 machines only accept official, and more expensive, Keurig K-Cups that are one-time use only. The consumer backlash to this decision was more than the company anticipated.

Like the Keurig machine, pod machines brew a single cup of fresh coffee for each user. Unlike K-cups, pods consist of only the ground coffee or tea packed into a circular paper filter and are entirely biodegradable. This makes a pod machine a great option for an eco-conscious office.

Low-cost refillable K Cup pods are prone to leaking, spilling and generally making a mess. They're unable to provide the same flawless seal as a traditional K Cup, and therefore don't work in the same way.

How Many Times Can You Use A Reusable K Cup? Unlike a traditional K cup, reusable Keurig pods can nearly be used indefinitely when taken care of correctly. This plays a significant difference when you're trying to reduce your waste. You could probably expect at least four years out of the k-cup with little care.

Switching to reusable coffee cups and remembering to take them every time you get a takeaway coffee reduces litter and the amount of waste in landfill, protects the planet by saving natural resources and saves you money.

Another potential disadvantage is that the pods may not be as environmentally friendly as other options, as they can create a lot of waste. Additionally, some people may not like the taste of coffee made with a Keurig, as the pods may not offer as much variety or customization as other brewing methods.
