DO NOT BUY – Dies Not Work!
DO NOT BUY! Youâll be disappointed.Product listing said it worked with Keurig mini. Even showed Keurig mini in picture of product listing.Received two stainless steel cups, and assembled with rubber ring around lid and funnel water dispenser in hole and center of top.Put coffee in cup, placed lid on, and attempted to make a cup of coffee.Water went everywhere. Water was running down the outside of the cupholder on the machine, all over my counter.Meanwhile, there was one stream of coffee, going into the cup and two streams of plain hot water streaming into the cup. Donât know how they managed that. And I didnât even get a full cup of coffee, barely 3/4 of a cup.This product does not work! Do not buy or you will be cleaning up water everywhere and return returning the item.

Worked Well in my Machine
I used this pod in my espresso machine which has an adapter to be used with k cups, with the same results. I love the idea of it being reusable, no plastic waste from the disposable cups. I did find the rubber ring hard to put on and keep on, for some reason it wanted to come off at first (maybe I had upside down?) but other than that, this seems well made and makes a nice cup of coffee.

To get one thing out of the way, there are no instructions included, and these cups need to be assembled (gasket, “top release” piece, etc.).It’s not difficult to figure out, but instructions for use should have been included.The quality of these cups is really nice. I have zero complaints with that.Included in the box are several spare gaskets and those “top release” pieces. I don’t expect that these will need to be replaced, unless they get lost or are damaged from misuse.We’ve been using these in a fairly basic Keurig machine, and it works better than the reusable cup they provide with the machine.The cup holds what I estimate to be between 11 and 14g of ground coffee. I use a small measuring spoon that came with my coffee tin, so I’m not super precise with measuring.The results I’ve been getting are fairly good. I think I’ll need to experiment more with ground sizes because I do get some silt at the bottom of my cup.One thing to note is that because there’s no paper filter that the coffee is running through, oils do pass into your cup, which does slightly change the flavour you get.This isn’t good or bad, but a matter of preference. Since I make coffee with both paper filters and metal, I’m used to each result.Unlike with the compostable pods we usually use, you can’t just remove and clean these metal pods because they get very hot and need to cool down. I also find that getting the used coffee grounds out of the pod isn’t as easy as just turning it upside down. It does require some tapping.Since you can use your own coffee, both pre-ground or whole beans that you grind yourself, you can both lower the cost of coffee and get better results in my opinion.Overall, as far as reusable K cup pods go, these are near the top. They require no consumables (i.e replaceable lids) and will likely last forever.

These reusable K cups are perfect for my Keurig machine. They were easy to use and worked perfectly without spilling any of my coffee grinds. The only issue I had is that these cups are rather difficult to thoroughly clean because of the oil in coffee and how small the holes are in these metal cups. After a few uses, I feel like I have to soak them in concentrated soapy water before washing them in order to get the oil off. These reusable cups are supposedly dishwasher safe, but I wash these by hand. Great to use, but take a bit of work to clean thoroughly.

Some assembly required
Going with 5 stars, they fit my Keurig, the seals and lids fit very flush, the mesh allows the water to pass easily. When I used this – I put a teabag in the k-cup, will try grounds next time. There was a tiny bit of water left on the top of the lid, but it had a steady stream, into the cup. It didnât keep draining after it was done, it seems to work just like a regular cup. I may try taking the small basket out next time, but the amount was definitely not concerning. It comes with 2 extra seals and baskets. Very easy to clean.
