After a few weeks of using the Keurig K45 Elite Brewing System, and subsequently running into the issue of K-Cups not being the most cost-effective products on the market (unless they are on sale), I decided to try out the Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter. Although the removal of the black plastic piece within which the commercial K-Cups sit is not as smooth a process as it could be, the "fill-up", assembly, and insertion of the reusable coffee filter is otherwise pretty simple. After accounting for a few issues, which I'll discuss below, the reusable coffee filter has proven itself a useful, cheap, effective, and an all around quality purchase.
As such, following the initial purchase of this reusable filter, and a dozen rounds of coffee brewing, I've found a few steps could be added to the process of using this filter in order to prevent issues such as splashing water, grounds in the coffee mug, and low strength coffee. First, concerning the splashing water and grounds in the coffee, these can be addressed through the adjustment of the black (round) rubber gasket, located under the lid, which surrounds the "needle" or water spout which punctures/inserts into the K-Cups and reusable filters. Carefully/softly pull the gasket down no more than a millimeter or two and this will create the pressurized seal that the low seated reusable filter needs (as compared to the ordinary K-Cups which sit higher or closer to the gasket's original position). With this adjustment creating the necessary pressurized seal, you can now fill the reusable filter to the very top while continuously tamping the grounds in order to tightly pack as many grounds as possible into the filter. This will allow for stronger coffee as the water goes through the filter. For even stronger coffee, please see the reviews concerning utilization of the used commercial K-Cup shells.
As of the writing of this review, I've gotten one of these for a friend and my grandmother as well. Very reliable, efficient, and well made. Definitely a great purchase to go with your Keurig! Happy brewing!

Dark, Smooth, Rich Coffee - Some Coffee Grounds in the Cup, But No Mess left in or on My Coffee Brewer
I am pleased to report that this K-Cup reusable filter fits into my new Keurig K15 coffee brewer. The little instruction manual was very helpful, and successfully guided me on how to remove the housing within my Keurig, which only took me a few seconds.I drink a medium roast blend, I like my coffee dark and rich, and after many trial and errors, this is my report.I receive the best brew from fine ground coffee, my coffee is rich and delicious, and tastes as good as brewed from a French Press. Unfortunately, when I used fine ground coffee in this filter, it left an awful lot of coffee grounds in the bottom of my cup.This filter used with coarse grounds, produced a tiny amount of left over grounds in my cup, but the coffee color was light, and my coffee was weak, and tasteless.I receive the best results when I grind my own beans. For an individual serving, I use two heaping scoops of beans and grind them to a medium/fine texture. I fill the filter almost to the top, and after I lightly tamp down the grounds, I don’t add any extra, because when the mesh filter is overfilled, the coffee grounds will spill and leak all over. For this amount of coffee grinds, I use 8 oz. of water.My coffee is nice and dark with a rich and smooth flavor, and although I do have a few coffee grounds in the bottom of my cup, the coffee is delicious.In addition, all coffee grounds remain in the mesh filter and therefore clean up takes a few seconds, because there are NO coffee grounds left in or on my Keurig brewer. The My K-Cup reusable filter is virtually mess free.
