I use a big cup with my Keurig and I like my coffee strong. So I usually do two (8 ounce) servings to fill up the cup. It's usually a pain to clean up the reusable kcup and go for the second cup and often (at work) I don't have the time and miss out on a cup of coffee :( This changes that though! Drop it in, fill with Starbucks coffee, serve, dispose paper filter, replace with new paper filter, serve, dispose paper filter and drink! Love it!

Just used the filter today and it worked fantastically! I used the K-Cup without the filter(I didn't know they made filters at first), and what a pain it was to get the used coffee grounds out. Now, with the filter I pull it out and the K-Cup is clean and ready for another use. I will definitely save money on coffee now that I am able to buy whatever flavor I want and I don't have to buy the pods anymore. Great, great invention!!!!!!

I have an EZ Cup (brand) reusable plastic pod that uses the paper filters with the attached lid. I bought these filters knowing that they did not have tops because they were half the price (yay!) of the ones with the little flap & I had worked out ahead of time how to take care of that little deficiency. After reading the reviews here, I saw some complaints about these filters having no paper tops, so, if you have the type of reusable cup that needs those lids and have a few minutes to spare, you can read further to find out what I am doing to solve that issue. If you don't care about cost and don't want to be bothered with a quick craft project, then just buy the more expensive ones with the lid already attached and be on your way. For those with about 5 minutes of time weighing heavy on their hands and the urge for adventure, here is what to do:
1. Get ahold of some basket-style coffee filters. (I already had a pack of those for my Mr. Coffee machine that I only pull out a couple times a year for a party - so they were basically free.) If you don't have any lying around your kitchen feeling useless and unloved, just buy a pack the next time you are at the supermarket - store brands are cheap & you'll still be way ahead of the game.
2. Draw a little 2 ¼ inch round circle on a piece of cardstock and cut it out to use as a template. (I actually used one of the lids from the EZ Cup filters as a pattern, but, if you don't have one, just use the EZ Cup plastic lid as a guide and draw around it about 1/8 inch out from the edge.) This is a one-time step if you can manage not to lose it. I keep mine handy with the lids I made.
3. Flatten out one of the paper basket-style filters on your counter or table and with a pencil, trace around your circle template onto the paper. You can fit 7 around the outer edge and 1 in the middle.
4. Stack up 5 more flattened filters - total of 6 - under the one on which you drew your circles - keeping all edges even. (I suppose you could stack more, but I found 6 to be very easy to cut)
5. Grab your scissors again and cut roughly around one of the outer circles OUTSIDE of the pencil line. Then, cut it out ON the line you drew. (This is easier than trying to hold the whole pack while you cut each circle.) Repeat with the rest of the circles. For each circle you cut, you will have 6 lids. When you are done, you will have 48 adorable lids. When making a cup of coffee, just center the paper lid on top of the coffee-filled filter and snap on the plastic cap.
I used a stopwatch and steps 3 through 5 took me only 5 minutes and 15 seconds.
That was fun, right?! You are probably wishing it wasn't all over so fast. Well, do it again! And if you have kids old enough to do this, get them in on the fun, too. In no time, you will have more lids than you know what to do with!
As for the quality of the Simple Cups, I found them to work just fine - along with my little paper lids. I can't fit "quite" as much coffee into them as into the more expensive EZ Cup filters, but I haven't noticed that the quality or strength of my cup of coffee is appreciably diminished. I have used about 50 or 60 so far, and although they expand during the brewing process (as they would have to with the addition of water flowing through), I have not had one burst (as some other reviewers stated). I will buy them again because they work and I get to have the fun of cutting out the lids!

So do the math. Typically a K-cup runs 18 for 8 dollars, unless you buy Starb***ks and then its more for less. But back to the math. At the stated cost, that's about 45 cents a coffee. 300 filters for $17 ( no shiiping cost to Prime members and if you have gotten Prime by now, its not too late and a 5 star rating). Anyways, that's about 6 cents a filter and so far I've gotten 30 servings of coffee from a typical 12 oz bag of coffee. I luck ou because I get Gevalia generally at 2 for 1 at Publix so a $7 bag is costing me $3.50, but ebven at $7 that's 23 cents a serving. I bought the As Seen On TV refillable K-cups (4 for $9 at Target, but they get used over and over so 0 cents per serving) but here we will say 1 cent. So, 6+23+1 =30 cents a serving or if you take my coffee costs it is 20 cents. Drink a lot of coffee? I save 75 cents or more every day.
The addition of the filters allow me to easily dump the used grounds, easier clean-up (just a rinse each use and a wash each week) of the re-usable k-cup, and we're good. My coffee, my way, my covenience

I have the Eko-brew reusable filters for my Kuerig, and after dealing with the sludge, I picked up a package of the EZ-brew filters. After one use, I realized that the lids were useless, except to line the bottoms of the filters for about half of the sludge fix. These fit and filter perfectly. It also makes cleanup a snap. Tap over the trashcan, then rinse out and dry for the next use.

Love these filters! They have helped my reusable coffee k-cup filters to keep longer.
By William T Whalen
Great filter for your own ground coffee, a lot cheaper than the Keurig coffee machine. From about $0.45 per cup to $0.11 a cup. You do need to clean out your reusable plastic filter that cost under $8.00 for 2 of them.

I drink 3 cups of coffee every day, so the price of manufactured K-Cups really adds up.
I like the filters because they keep the sediment way down, and still allow me to have a great cup of coffee, and save a lot by buying whole beans and grinding them myself. It also makes it much simpler to dump the grounds from the My K-cup basket into my compost crock.
I've attached a short video on how they can be used really easily with the My K-Cup mesh baskets. The video mentions mounting squares (

For best results: use only 2 Tbs (10 grams) of ground coffee in the basket. Don't pack it. If you try to over-fill the basket, the coffee will not taste any better and is way more likely to overflow when brewing.

Does what I want it to do. However I wish it was just a tad bit taller. I push my filter down into my reusable cup and pack the coffee tight inside for a stronger brew. Because of this I still have to get my fingers a little dirty. It's a first world problem I know, but on the run and late for work sometimes I wish I didn't have to run to the sink for a quick rinse.
By E. Williams
I was tired of sludge in the bottom of my coffee cup from using the permanent filter I use instead of buying K Cups which are very expensive. I bought these and they are just what I wanted! No more sludge and coffee tastes great.
