Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter

If it is necessary to modify a product with rubber bands and O-rings to get it to brew a decent cup of coffee, which seems to be the case, then it is junk and should be re-designed.

This is such a good idea - I wish it worked better. The coffee comes out in multiple jets, some coffee-colored, some clear. I imagine if I could keep out the clear liquid, the coffee would be good - as it is, it's weak. I wonder if I'm using it wrong - it seems so simple though, it's hard to imagine how to experiment with it. I will go back to the reviews to see if someone has solved a similar problem.

This is a great idea and I was hopeful it would work but water spits out from the reusable filter and makes a weak, ground-laden cup of coffee. I called their customer service line and they said they've heard this before and to make sure the rubber gasket at the top of the pin area is pulled down tight--which I did. It gave me the same weak coffee ground filled brew. Don't bother buying this.

Saves lots of money on coffee, and saves tons of wasted k cups from cluttering up the planet. I grind my own coffee fine...it works best with fine grounds, otherwise it's watery and weak.
I use it everyday and enjoy it. Highly recommended.

I am glad I did. I use it regularly and have done so for several months. I have not encountered any of the problems mentioned by others. The tabs ARE a bit small, and possibly will deteriorate in time. But the ability to use my own French Roast ground coffee and the reduced cost make this a very viable alternative. I do not give it 5 stars because it is true that it's a bit of a hassle to change over to the K-cup insert when my family want to brew their favorite flavored coffees.
I will update the review if I run into problems....for now I'm enjoying good coffee. After reading some of the negative reviews regarding the flimsiness of the reusable filter I hesitated to get it. After many months of using the K-cups and assessing the different offerings, I finally broke down and got the filter.
