K cup filter alternative!! Don't waste you money!!

Enjoy!

[@reese457]

Amazing trick!! Just tried it myself and it worked amazingly! Some might complain about having to cut filters but if you just take the 15 mins to cut them you will have filters for months! Great video and great instructions! Thanks again!

[@roberts1924]

Unless your coffee is very finely ground, you won't get much sediment and don't really need these paper filters at all. It will make cleaning the filter more work, but you'll get the routine of it quickly and probably won't mind. Just make sure to dump the majority of the grounds in the garbage, not your sink. Then you can rinse the rest off in the sink.

[@latachia_2981]

I've never had to use them....I've had a Keurig ever since they first came out & have always used the reusable filters in them & neve have need an extra coffee filter in them.

[@nialloftheninehostages1004]

I’ve designed a little template that I trace around , then cutout the filter. I’ve added a little lip to make pulling the filter out of the cup easier.

[@evtyler]

You, madam, are a true GENIUS! Thanks for sharing.

[@carenome1]

No matter what I did. Those reusable K cups would NOT allow my keurig to close. They would never work for me. Ps. Dollar store coffee filters are about $1 for 250! Even more savings.

[@roberts1924]

You are probably using the wrong kind of reusable cup. Perhaps you have a regular Keurig 1.0 and are buying 2.0 filters? It could be something like that. I have a K-Elite and used to have a K-70. They worked great in both.

[@rhondaschroeder1230]

Thank you for this video. Sediment in the cup was not an issue, however, clean up is the problem. I don't like having to clean out those reusable cups. Your video solved that for me. 😊

[@gunneraitsu2735]

For those asking why people use filters for the k-cups-it's to prevent sediment
If you don't mind sediment in your coffee then don't worry about these filters

[@jpeood32]

yes and that's why is use the additional filter, I don't like sediment

[@monubhogal4839]

If you like your coffee strong. You should use filters. Thank you for the video. Very helpful, money-saving. I will definitely try it.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Amazing how many cups of coffee have been percolated in traditional coffee pots without using any kind of filter. Holes in the basket are a heck of a lot larger than that fine mesh K-cup style screen. So fine, it's called sediment. Growing up, what was sometimes left in the bottom of a coffee cup was called grounds. (Long before modern coffee appliances became mass marketing merchandise. BTE, there a several ways to minimize grounds in the bottom of the cup. Primary one is patience.

[@roberts1924]

I use them without filters and don't really get any sediment.

[@latachia_2981]

Mine don't get any sediment in them. I've been using them in the Keurigs that I had, ever since they first came out.

[@laurendavis771]

I'm going to try this. WHY??? Because I don't have the time (patience) to tap and rinse to clean the used grounds out of the plastic filter.

[@jeanwhite2705]

We have the refillable Kcups, been using them for 7 years now, but can’t understand why you purchase additional filters for the Kcup. Never have used a paper filter, just put coffee in the Kcup, use and empty coffee grinds into compost, rinse a bit under running water or drop it into dishwasher top rack.

[@lifestylewithruth7874]

Ahhhhh!!! Thank you so much! I have been doing it all wrong then lol

[@Marvelous3215]

I tried the one like she used in the video and it got coffee ground all in my cup. I bought the Keurig brand though and it works good.

[@elainedaniels6541]

I use the filters because I hate the sediment left in the coffee cup. I love this idea.

[@SaltyMouse10]

I used to have one and I didn't even know there were filters. I used to out the grounds right in the cup as well

[@deenakeys6646]

Actually I am researching a cheaper version of the kcup filter because even though I shake out the coffee grounds into my garbage can, my kitchen sink clogged up and still not sure why. I thought it may be from coffee grounds, who knows. But I am taking precautions from now on. I am so thrifty I am renting a plumbers snake from home depo. Ain’t nobody got time for any of this drama 😞. Thanks again for the video. Helped immensely ‼️‼️

[@claudettecardinal1816]

Actually, cut big filter in 4 parts. Take 1 piece and fold them up. So...fold up the corner just past the top of filter then fold each side in. Makes a perfect filter. Easy to put in pods.

[@lifestylewithruth7874]

Thank you!! So helpful!

[@claudettecardinal1816]

@@lifestylewithruth7874 Your very welcome this way you get 4 filters out of one big filter.

[@junaidhassan6839]

I see what you mean now, I cut the filter the same one she is using to equal 4 part (the first half then half to half now I have 4 pieces) then don't know what to do I put the one piece in the middle of the refill k-cup and with a finger push down and now I got a filter amazing man. I like it.

[@tammyhollandsworth6783]

I knew you could do that. It’s so easy to just toss and throw. Less messy. Thank you!

[@sandysue202]

Good idea, especially since I also buy the big filters for my Mr Coffee regular coffee pot anyway. I bought a package of the little paper filters, but I will make them when these run out. Thank you!❤

[@bobg1685]

The paper prevents fine sediment from passing through the mesh screen of the insert. Having the grounds contained in a paper filter also helps in the cleanup.

[@latachia_2981]

Mine don't get any sediment in them. I've been using them in the Keurigs that I had, ever since they first came out.

[@roberth.9558]

This is fantastic. Thank you Ruth.

[@Irene-ke6to]

The wire mesh on the plastic cups IS the filter. WHY would you add an additional layer of filter? I'm with Jean White. We've been using the refillable Kcups for years and never had an issue with grounds or sediment!

[@lifestylewithruth7874]

I tried to use just the Kcup filter cup without a filter and I got grounds in my coffee. I am unsure but this method works perfect for me. I have actually switched back now to the pre filled kcups because I like different flavors ♥️

[@jpeood32]

Neil Do you realize she probably does this cost savings with other products. I should have said, hack.

[@chutethemall8099]

Three years of inflation since you posted means everything is much more expensive now.

Isn't the filter that's already on the refillable cup enough? Keurig makes an official refillable cup that uses a reusable filter.

[@davidhart4789]

Paper towels work just as well

Great question! I really am unsure and I have asked this to my friends but still am unsure... I assumed you needed a filter because in stores, the paper filter and the Kcup are right next to one another. If you find out, please let me know!

Unfortunately the Keurig machines don't use pressure, the water flows through the filter basket and doesn't create a good extraction of the ground beans. Move on, nothing to see here as they say in the movies.
