Kaps for K-Cups - Reuse Your Keurig K-Cups (6 Clear, 6 Red, 6 Green, Cleaning Brush) - Over 30,000 Sold Review

I bought my Keurig in part because it had the "My K-Cup" option to reuse a filter instead of littering landfills with these little plastic things all year. But as others have noted, the My K-Cup makes terrible coffee because it doesn't work the same way as a K-Cup.

Enter My-Kap. These hard caps fit easily into rinsed out K-Cups you already have. Just add espresso-grind coffee. Works like a charm. I got the big set so that I can go several days before refilling them all. Different colors allow me to have some decaf set aside for friends. The quality is excellent, and they are easy to use because they are engineered really well to fit into the cups. The tools included make it really easy to get them back out and rinse out the cup for reuse.

So bottom line, I'll probably add 20 K-Cups to the landfill next year instead of 1,500. And I'll save several hundred dollars.

Product Description:
Also available in quantities of 3 and 9. Check "Other My-Kap products" above.

This product contains three (18) My-Kap™ kaps, one removal tool, one cleaning brush, and instructions. Colors are CLEAR, RUBY RED, and EMERALD GREEN. You also get a guarantee. If you are not satisfied within 30 days, you can send it back and we will refund your money. If it breaks any time, we will replace it.

These kaps will allow you to reuse your Keurig K-Cups many times. You can refill your K-Cups with your favorite coffee or tea. Three colors are included, clear, red, and green. In addition a cleaning brush is included which also can also be used as a removal tool to remove the kap from the K-Cup after it has been used.

The Keurig standard approach involves the purchase of K-Cups with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. The K-Cups make excellent coffee. But they each cost anywhere from $.25 to $.50 per cup depending on the quantity and where you purchase them. If you like to drink coffee like me, this can add up to quite a bill really quickly.

So you say, why not get a reusable K-Cup. Good idea. But there are a few problems with the system Keurig wants you to use. First the reusable K-Cups cost $14 and up. If you want 10 of them, that is $140 just for the reusable cups. Second, the Keurig's resusable K-Cup does not produce as good of a cup of coffee as the K-Cup itself. The designs are different and the water flows out the sides of the filter rather than down through the coffee. Third, the design is big, bulky, and hard to store. If you already have a turnstile for K-Cups, you can not store these there. With this product you can.

The Kap allows you to recycle your K-Cups. Fill them with your favorite coffee or tea. And use them many times before they have to be thrown out for good. That lowers your cost for each cup of brew and also give you better brews each time.

Toastess TFC-326 Personal-Size 1-Cup Coffeemaker, Black Review

I love coffee. And, I'm kind of an elitist when it comes to coffee. I can only use really good beans-- right now I'm using Lavazza, but my every day coffee is starbucks brand.The problem is, I cannot produce a good POT of coffee for the life of me. I don't know why. I use filtered water. I clean out the carafe. My regular every day machine has a water filter. I don't know why my pots of coffee are horrid compared to my husband's pots of coffee, which taste as if they came from the local coffeehouse/espresso bar.

So, after getting a free senseo (YUCK!), and giving it to a friend, I bought this little coffee maker.IT makes a really good cup of coffee I have not messed up even one time.And, I use it 5-10 times per day.It is just excellent.I've been looking at the higher priced one cup makers, such as the Tassimo, but I'm not sure I need it. With freshly ground good beans, this little coffee maker does the job.

This coffee maker, by the way, makes a hot cup of coffee-- definitely as hot as every full-size coffeemaker I've ever had. I'm wondering if the other reviewer just got a machine that didn't work too well.Or, maybe he just likes it from boiled water.Whatever the case, if you're used to drinking coffee made from regular drip machines, this one is fine.

I've had this coffeemaker for at least two months now, and I literally use it 5 to 10 times per day.I keep expecting it to break, because it's definitely not made expensively, but it keeps going.I think it's a great choice for someone like me or someone in an office.

This comes with a durable reusable gold-colored metal filter.

In addition to making coffee, the appliance also produces hot water for tea, hot cocoa, instant soups, and more. Other highlights include an illuminated "on/off" switch, a water-level window for easy filling, a permanent nylon filter, and a small footprint that takes up minimal space on the counter or desk.

I bought these for a couple reasons.First to have the option to use flavored coffees that I have been using for years; these let me do just that, even mixing to get what I want.Second, I can reuse the K-Cups a few times rather than tossing them, saving money and helping a bit with the environment.These are working well on most k-cups I've tried, although I've run across a couple that, due to the manufacturing process, make using these caps difficult or impossible.

Keurig My K-Cup 2-Pack Reusable Coffee Filter Basket Replacement Review

Something that is important to be aware of is that you can't use just any ground coffee in this filter.I have a Kuerig Elite and bought a standard bag of Dunkin Donuts ground coffee and when I first tried to use it, the water going into the cup overflowed and came out of the overflow which essentially watered down the coffee considerably and had water pouring everywhere.I tried it again, this time with a little less coffee in the filter and had the same result.I contacted Kuerig customer support and they replied and told me to make sure I didn't pack the coffee, the filter was clean, and that the grind wasn't too fine because a fine grind would clog the filter.I cleaned the filter very carefully and even stirred the coffee grounds with the end of the spoon to ensure that it wasn't packed.The results were the same.I haven't tried using a different brand but I will.As for now though, the idea is great but I'm not convinced that there isn't a possible design flaw with this.Once I try a different ground coffee I will update further.

Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter Review

Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.
