 Good Addition to a Keurig September 12, 2008
As with other wire mesh filters, some fines come through and settle to the bottom of the cup. Makes a good cup of coffee with Boyer's Columbian decaf.
 A must-have addition for the Keurig September 8, 2008
I've had this for almost a year and use it four or five times a day. Never had it break or give me any trouble at all. I just rinse it out and let it air dry in a dish rack.
With this item you can use any brand or type of ground coffee you choose.....nice not to be restricted to only what's available in super expensive k-cups. Even pricey gourmet coffees are cheaper in ground form than pods or k-cups. This is a real money saver. Also nice that you can adjust the amount of coffee you put in to make a larger or smaller cup of coffee. The reusable filter pays for itself in short order. I'm very glad I bought one.
Add this to your Keurig coffee maker September 7, 2008
The K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter completes this coffee system. While we enjoy all the varieties and the ease of the K-Cups, this reusable filter allows us to use other coffees we enjoy that are not available in K-Cups. It is easy to use and easy to clean.
 Careful September 6, 2008
This is a great product if it fits. We have two machines - both supposedly one cuppers. We have the deluxe model and the economy model. The cup fits fine in the economy one, but not so in the deluxe. Make sure it will fit your model, or that you can return it.
The technology of the Keurig with my own grounds? Brilliant! September 5, 2008

I work for a VERY well known coffee chain (haha) and so I get a free pound of joe a week... obviously buying the k cups would be a silly waste of money. I love this machine but I hate the available coffee pods... fresh ground is the only way to go for my palette.
The Reusable filter, while not exactly durable, allows for some of the best coffee I've ever made. Even my tea drinking fiancee has turned in to a total coffee nerd since I perfected the use of this product. Success!
Anyway I found that when I grind my beans to a metal filter setting it works the best... this would be slightly finer than a french press grind. A good visual would be a texture only slightly finer than kosher salt.
Using 2 tablespoons, slightly packed down (or actually 3tbsp, in my case to counteract the weaker result with the coarse grind,) the resulting cup of coffee is bold, free of grounds, and has a lovely almost espresso-like crema at the top and minimal sludge at the bottom. I hate drip coffee because it's far to bitter and most of the volatile oils from the coffee are lost in the process.
Another good way to keep the flavor of the coffee is by putting your condiments at the bottom of the cup so the flavor gets locked in as soon as possible. Remember... the longer you let coffee sit, the more of those precious volatile oils are lost. If you like the taste of milk or sugar in your coffee, adding it to the coffee PRIOR to brewing so the coffee falls right in to it will help slow that acidic turnover down. (There's a reason baristas throw away any espresso shot more than 10-15 seconds old... it's because it turns into a black acidic extract!!!)
