good idea, but.....

Customer Rating:
I read all the reviews on this and even did the recommended "fix" with the filter from a Kcup. However, the resulting cup of coffee was filled with grounds. I didn't mind the oily film, but the grounds really bugged me. Now, just trying to salvage it to see if I can make it work!

Consider at least 2!

..unless there's only 1 coffee drinker in the house and you drink 1 or less cup per day. Any more than that, and you won't regret having multiple. We have 2 coffee drinkers in our house and we thought 1 would be fine. A few weeks later we picked up a second filter and are much happier now.

The K-Cups are usually pretty hot after you use them and take a bit to cool down - and this filter is no different. If we're making 2 cups at the same time it's a bit uncomfortable trying to clean out the K-Cup filter so that we can reuse it right away. Having multiple lets you set the hot one aside for later cleaning, while still being able to make more.

We've been using them for about 5 or 6 months now and have no complaints. We try to treat them well and keep them clean, so they're in pretty good condition. The reusable filter not only saves us money and gives us the opportunity to use any type of coffee that we want - including FRESH ground beans (yum) - but we can then pretty easily collect the used grounds to fertilize our gardens and house plants :)

Save money by using this reusable filter.

This reusable filter allows users to save money by using their own coffee blends rather than paying the premium price for the one-time use K-Cups. Not only do you save money, you also help to keep America green by decreasing the use of disposable plastic containers.

******Fixed Problem******* Worked Great

I got the Keurig Elite for my birthday. I love my coffee. I was not an early fan of this coffee maker, but soon fell in love with it as my friends had one. Anyway, the downside for me was I didn't want to buy coffee (K-cups) all the time they are expensive etc. So I got this filter and I would say it was a rating of below one star. It didn't work leaked grounds into the top of my machine, spewed water and grounds into my cup over the top and out the hole in the top of the kcup that the water goes through. Very dissappointed with the performance. Was almost over this whole coffee maker and then I read a post on here about a fix for the leaking cup. The cup doesn't actually leak, it is the seal that sets on top of the cup. When you use a pre made k cup there is a needle that pierces the foil top and pressurizes the cup to force water through. On this needle is a rubber seal. I just worked that seal down a little bit (be careful not to pull it all the way off and the needle is sharp so don't poke yourself). I also ground my coffee a little more course to see if that helped, but I also used some pre ground costco 100% columbian and it brewed no problem. Don't overfill with grounds, there are two hash marks inside the filter. One teaspoon or two teaspoons. if you fill it more than that it won't work as well. Once completed I brewed coffee no problem. Great rich flavor. I am very happy with the performance now that i found this fix. Hope this helps!!!!

Dissapointed

I can not see how this product gets good reviews! I have followed directions and filled it with an appropriate amount of coffee, yet it is extremely messy. Coffee grinds get everywhere and the Keurig machine gets covered in splashes while coffee drips everywhere. I have to wipe down the machine and countertop everytime that I use this product. Also, there is sometimes coffee grounds in the coffee, however, this is not a big issue. This product recieves two stars becuse it makes a decent cup of coffee but is such a hassle to use.

Would not buy again.
