Ekobrew Classic Reusable Filter, Keurig 1.0 and 2.0 Compatible - Orange

I have a reusable cup that I picked up at some grocery store. It was great. Been using it for almost 6 years. But the mesh finally gave out a little, so it started giving me tiny cuts.So Amazon to save the day! Found what I thought was the same brand I purchased in store on a great deal. Super excited to get my shipment in...Nope. Get it in the mail. The rubber seal doesn’t fit right, so it won’t stay closed. PLUS, it was manufactured without the mesh being properly trimmed, so a sharp piece is sticking through the outer corner seam, imbedded in the plastic. (Which, sharp mesh was my whole reason for getting a new cup.)Ok, so they offer to send me a replacement, free of charge, no hassle of getting the old one shipped back...awesome!! Love it! Great service! But this morning, I go to go use my new one for the FOURTH time...and there’s a good 1/2” of mesh that has separated from the rest of the cup, leaving a gaping hole in the side.Time to go shopping...

I haven't come across one of these that I truly find a viable alternative to K-Cups. I'm assuming that the way coffee is ground, there is some residual ultra finely graded coffee that remains until coffee is brewed. Unfortunately, the coffee "dust" turns to a sludge type at the bottom of your cup. In this model, there is less than the Ekobrew that I purchased about four years ago. As an environmentalist, the bit of chocolate syrup at the bottom of my cup doesn't bother me that much. However, I don't think this is a particularly hard problem to solve. I'm hard pressed to find a paper filter that won't impede the water flow to an extent that it damages the Keurig. Overall, it's a great alternative to throwing tons of plastic into a landfill and a great way to save money by purchasing bagged coffee at the small cost of having a little bit of coffee that I won't drink at the bottom of my cup.

I have a single-serve coffee machine which, while it accepts k-cups, is not a machine made by Keurig. This re-usable K-cup does not fit my machine, which uses a small spike at the bottom of the K-cup holder to puncture the plastic bottom of disposable coffee pods. Since this re-usable K-cup is basically the same dimensions as an actual K-cup, getting it into the machine runs the risk of puncturing the bottom and ruining it. Fortunately when I tried this, the spike hit the plastic cross section and not the screen/mesh filter. It's not usable though, and popping it into other non-Keurig single-serve brewers could be a risky affair. Look instead for one that's about half an inch or so shorter than a typical K-cup.

After I picked up an Ekobrew to make coffee in the Keurig at work, I somehow could never get the strength right, as compared to my home brewing. I discovered this is due to the extremely short brew cycle in the Keurig. Keurigs spray the hot water under pressure into the pod. This speeds up the extraction time even shorter than in pourover or drip, resulting in a less flavorful cup. The solution is to bloom the coffee first!This will be most convenient if your kitchen set-up has instant hot drinking water for making tea, like in a office water cooler or in-sink filtration system, or else you will need to microwave or boil water separately.Load the grounds to the fill line. Hold the Ekobrew over your cup at the hot water spout. Carefully wet the grounds all around so that it just begins to drip a few drops of coffee through. The grounds, if they are fresh, should foam up a little bit. That's the CO2 escaping the grounds, and that's "blooming." Close the lid of the Ekobrew. Wait 60 seconds. Run it through a 6 oz. brew cycle in the Keurig (the second from the left). That'll give you the perfect Starbucks or Peet's drip coffee strength.If you don't bloom the grounds, then the CO2 escaping in the first 60 seconds of contact with hot water will repel the water. The coffee that comes through would not even have a chance to make contact with the grounds in the short amount of time that the Keurig brews!The difference is AMAZING.

This WILL work for the B30 machine but you REALLY have to push down the lid with a little force after you insert the filter. It will take a little practice and frustrations before getting it right, I promise you'll get it working. By the way, make sure you insert the filter upside down with the orange arrow upwards. This will prevent ANY drips from forming on top after brewing. Nothing major, but if you're like me who's anal about small drips, this helps. Other than that, this didn't burst, leak or anything. Gave me a clean brew. Clean up is easy. Only takes a few bangs and boom, grinds are in the trash. Only needs rinsing. Holds more coffee too than the My K-Cup. Only thing that might bother people is that it does leave a lot of sludge in your cup so you might need to buy or make your own small paper filters. I am also a French press drinker so I don't mind and if you're also a French press drinker, this should be fine. : ) So to conclude, give the lid a little force and buy paper filters if the sludge bothers you and you're all set and caffeinated! I am IN LOVE with this filter! Much better than My K-Cup.

Está muy práctico, funcional y lindo. Lo utilizo para mi cafetera Kreurig 2.0Lo único es que la malla es un tanto sensible. Lo compré hace un mes y a la hora de lavarlo se le hizo un pequeño hoyo por donde se cuela un poco de los granos a la taza :( pero igual lo volveria a pedir

It has a paper label on top that is not meant to be removed. It does not fit our new Keurig Mini. The plastic ones with the metal mesh do.Sigh. Gave it away. Worked well with our older model Keurig.

These cups are quite nice, easy to clean. But if you want to use the paper filters in them, be prepared to hold them closed with a piece of freezer or masking tape.

Good unit. Works well, no filters, and easy to use, but you have to use course ground coffee or you will get a lot of sediment. Easy to clean, but a bit messy to empty the grounds before washing. Only been using it for a couple of months, but so far no issues with durability.

Yo tengo una Keuring 2.0 y NO SIRVE parA esta cafetera, al ponerlo la cafetera no lo reconoce y sale un mensaje diciendo que no es compatible.
