Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee FilterCustomer Review: A rubber washer fixed the problem Summary: 4 Stars
I tried a suggestion that fixed the problem. Put A 1/2 inch rubber washer in the well in the top of the lid surrounding the opening. This creates a tighter seal & prevents the water from leaking out. Make sure the hole in the washer is slightly wider than the opening in the lid & is fairly flush with the top.
I also tried the tip from J.C. Wallace from Texas Gulf Coast (Nov 6, 2010), and it worked. Thanks J.C.!
Here's what J.C. suggested:
Open up the lid and remove the filter basket, and look at the needle that delivers the water to the basket. You will see a black rubber gasket near the needle tip. Before you make your first cup, carefully grab the gasket on both sides and lower it until it is almost to the bottom of the needle (do not remove it completely, it is difficult to put back on). Once the gasket is positioned properly, load up the basket with coffee and hit the brew button. *With the gasket repositioned, the needle will seal tightly in the hole at the top of the filter basket, and you will have no more leaks.
*ETA: The only problem is, the gasket may reposition itself & you may have to pull it down again, especially after making a sealed, prepacked K-cup
Customer Review: A waste of money Summary: 1 Stars
At best it makes colored water. I tried all of the suggestions listed here and on some of the forums. I think the only way it would work would be to have paper filters in it. If you are going to go through all that trouble, you might as well use a regular coffee maker.
Customer Review: A waste of time and money.... Summary: 1 Stars
Simply put - this is junk. I have tried many different amounts of coffee, and many different grind settings...but nothing works. Put the right amount coffee for sufficient flavor, you'll make a mess of the Keurig machine. Put less coffee to avoid a mess, you get weak coffee. Find Grind, Medium Grind....neither works....
Not worth the effort, poor design, messy....toss this in the trash with your used K-cups, because that's where it belongs.
Customer Review: AWESOME LITTLE FILTER!!!! Summary: 5 Stars
AWESOME LITTLE FILTER!!!! (use only really fine grain coffee though, or else its too weak)
Customer Review: Add this to your Keurig coffee maker Summary: 5 Stars
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.
