Customer Review

Cheap like me? Yeah, you're gonna like this too

Being frugal (all right, cheap) by nature, I held off on buying a single-serve coffeemaker until I could find one I liked that offered a reusable filter. When Keurig came out with the B-40 Elite, a handsome, reasonably priced unit, and announced that it would be releasing its "My K-Cup" reusable filter for separate sale early in 2006, I was primed. As soon as I saw this product on Keurig's website, I was ready to buy my new coffeemaker from Amazon.com and the filter from Keurig's web site. My only wish was that Amazon.com would stock the reusable filter so buyers could purchase the coffeemaker and filter in one fell swoop, and here my wish is about to come to pass!

I have had my Keurig B-40 Elite for about a month now, and I've had great success with it. Bear in mind that if you're using the reusable filter, you must first remove the black plastic K-Cup holder from the unit's filter assembly (instructions on how to do this are included with "My K-Cup"; the black piece in the coffeemaker's filter basket doesn't act like it's supposed to come out, but it is, and it does).

Also, I've read elsewhere that some people don't like having to remove the reusable filter and clean it out after every use. However, I've found it to be a relatively simple affair: the reusable filter doesn't drip when you remove it, and takes about 30 seconds to rinse out after each use. You can use it again right away to brew successive cups.

One caveat is that the output splashes a bit when using the My K-Cup filter, so I always have a damp paper towel at the ready when I brew a cup. That having been said, I'm really happy to be using my own coffee and saving lots of money in the process. Those who are, like me, loathe to shell out 55 cents a cup for K-Cups will probably really like the new My K-Cup.

Easy to Use and Environmentally Responsible!

Let me start out by saying that I love my Keurig brewer. It brews a great cup of coffee (GMCR Dark Magic is my fav) and the convenience can't be beat. However, I've always felt a little guilty every time I throw out a used K-Cup. It seems like they're not only completely UNrecycleable, but totally UNbiodegradeable as well.

Enter the My K-Cup reuseable filter. Yes, it takes a little practice to fill up the mesh filter with grounds without making a total mess, and sure it takes a few seconds of rinsing when finished. But the result is a great cup of coffee and no guilt trip about filling the landfill with punched out K-Cups. And if you're feeling reckless, it's an easy switch back to those good ol' prefab cups.

I'd recommend this to anyone with a compatible brewer. It's not that much more of a hassle to use, the results are excellent, and there's no waste. Oh yeah, it's also a whole lot cheaper to fill these with your favorite pre-ground GMCR blend (Dark Magic baby!) than to buy the equivalent number of cups.

The only negative that I've seen is a tendency for more "sludge" to get through to the bottom of your cup. Watch that last sip, it's a doosy!

How to use

1. Ball up the 55mm pod, or greater, so that it was tight

2. Push the pod firmly up to the lid of the pod holster (push up from the bottom while holding the lid on). It should fit tightly at the top of the holster to prevent grounds from leaking out into the cup. 

3. Place the holster in the machine and QUICKLY close the lid, then brew.

Customer Review

Economical and Ecologically Friendly! Love it.

The Keurig coffee maker is great but the price of K-cup is costly and the used K-cups are not recyclable. It will be no big deal, if it was just me drinking 1-2 cups per day. But then my family found out how tasty the coffee from this single coffee maker is, now my trash filled up with little plastic cups and the total cost of K-cups is pretty high.

No problem now! the Pod Holster WORKS. Use a coffee pod with a K-cup coffee maker is costs only half as much as before, it is still incredibly tasty and convenient, and everything that goes in the trash is biodegradable. Need I say more?




 Worth every penny

The pod holder is easy to use and lets me use far cheaper pods (I uses Senseo) than the ones designed specifically for Keurig coffee makers. Be sure you follow the instructions to tamp the pod with your finger so that it presses against the top of the holder.
