Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter
Customer Review: A Nice Idea
Summary: 3 Stars
This product is a nice idea, but I doubt that I will ever really use it. It takes away most of the CONVENIENCE that owning a Keurig provides. Basically, it is too much trouble. However, it does provide you with the opportunity to save a lot of momey by using your own ground coffee.Customer Review: A better solution...
Summary: 3 Stars
Although the My K-Cup is a solution to using your own coffee grounds, there is a better & less expensive option out there. I found the My Kap ([...]) to be a much better alternative because you can reuse your old K-cups. Where the bulky My K-Cup requires you to remove the Keurig's K-Cup inner assembly and also allows the water to flow freely from all sides of the filter, the My-Kap simply snaps onto an old cup, allowing you to reuse your K-Cups several times, and only allowing the water to flow through the bottom pinhole. Also, you cannot store the My K-Cup in your carousel (if you have one), whereas the My-Kap allows you to by reusing your old cups. Lastly, at two My-Kaps for $10, it's a slightly more economical choice than the My K-Cup. I bought mine a week ago and couldn't be happier.Customer Review: A corporate maneuver, for you to switch brewers
Summary: 2 Stars
Maneuver: to guide with adroitness and design
First, I would like to state up front, that I love my Keurig B50 brewer. I find many of the K-Cups convenient and tasty. But, I do believe that the 'My K-Cup' product is nothing more than a tactical maneuver.
I have tried, as no doubt many have, to get a decent cup of coffee using the 'My K-Cup'(even using the Internet 'fixes'). But, as many have discovered, the product produces consistently weak, watered down coffee (R.I.P. Boca Java Sunrise, Boca Java Bananas Foster Float, and Chock full O' Nuts Original).
I believe the company is aware of this. How could they not come to the same conclusion during the product testing phase? But, think about it. If they offer a product that 'touts' the fact that you can use your own coffee grinds with the Keurig unit, many people who are deciding which coffee maker to buy will think, "Oh, this one not only offers the convenience of single serve coffee, but I can also use grounds I already have. This is win-win!" Wrong.
If you are considering a Keurig, buy the unit with the thought that you will only be able to use the pre-made K-Cups (which are good, convenient, but more expensive than buying it by the bag). Do not allow them to deceive you into believing you will be able to make the same (or even close to the same) quality brew with your own grinds as you would with a traditional coffee maker.
Just a 'heads up' for potential buyers. A little bait and switch action.
Customer Review: A cup of coffee that is good to the last drop!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought the system about 2 months ago, and, wow, we are really pleased!
We have bought two of the reusable coffee filter units that insert into the Keurig Brewer because the k-cup coffees are expensive by comparison to regular coffee makers. But, that way we can get our coffee made in the brewer since it isn't available in the k-cup system as yet. And, we keep our costs lower to boot! Great value!
And, we bought a 'pod' brewer maker for our Keurig. That was costly for the prices but the ease of use for our pod tea drinkers works just fine.
Customer Review: A frugal alternative to buying K-cups.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the Keurig coffee maker at work, but didn't like paying 40 to 50 cents per cup for the K-cups.
This is great alternative and allows you to drink your favorite coffee blends that don't come in K-cups!
PROs: Good solid construction. The metal mesh filter does not let grounds through and is easy to clean.
CONs: Not really a bad thing, but be aware that at the end of brewing, the coffee comes out in a somewhat violent way. It wont' cause your coffee to make a mess but if not ready for it, will wake you up a bit!
Also, do not fill it before going to work as the grounds may come out of the top. Lesson learned there.
Overall, I would recommend it to everyone.
