Download Article
You love how quick and convenient it is to brew a cup of coffee with your Keurig, but the cost of all those K-cups? Not so much. Rather than tossing out a K-cup every time you want more coffee, putting in a reusable filter lets you use any fresh grounds you have at home. Not only does a reusable K-cup cut costs at the grocery store, but it also prevents single-use cups from piling up in landfills. Even though there are multiple reusable K-cups out there, they all work the same way. Keep reading to find out how to fill, load, and clean your reusable K-cup so you can enjoy a hot cup of joe whenever you want.
Things You Should Know
- Fill your reusable K-cup with coffee grounds up to the fill line for the coffee size you’re brewing.
- Secure the lid and place the K-cup into the holder on your Keurig machine. Close the lid and press the button to start brewing your coffee.
- Empty out the grounds and rinse the reusable K-cup under warm water.
- Wash your K-cup weekly with soapy water or in your dishwasher’s top rack.
