Permanent Keurig cup?

[North of Mouse]

I have a Keurig B130 machine. Its one of the smaller ones and all the refillable kcups say they don't work with this model. Anyone have a refillable one that works with the small models?

Thanks

I have the Keurig mini-plus and my refillable Solofil works great in it. Whatever grind I happen to be using seems to do ok. I have tried different brands in it. Also still use K-cups 50% of the time.

I also take my cup or filter out immediately when it brews, as I read somewhere that keeps the little needles from stopping up so easy - don't let it dry in place.

It's the mini-plus B-31

Another Ekobrew user here. We haven't bought k-cups in a year.

We buy big bags of great coffee at Costco and ground it ourselves.

I've tried a couple of the refillable k-cups and hate them. I switched to these: http://www.rogersfamilyco.com/index.php/new-san-francisco-bay-coffee-onecup-line-up/ They are more affordable and better for the environment than regular k-cups because they have less plastic.

Thank you for the warning. I was going to comment that I did not care for our My K Cup because I can never get the coffee strong enough, but maybe this is why. I've tried to use it with pre-ground coffee from the store.

Starbucks will grind it that way for you.

I use the my k-cup with my small kurig and it works fine. Never had any problems with any coffee being too course or fine.

We tend to drink our coffee v. strong here in Louisiana and the coffee we use most often is Community, which as a very coarse ground coffee - it was orginally made for percolators or for the very, very old school method of straining it through cotton cloth. It's apparently a known fact that Community straight out of the bag won't work in a k-cup. I'm told that some other companies, who grind finer do work out of the can. But, yeah, it's just plain dishwater to try Community straight from the bag.

Our grocery stores all have grinders, and Community comes in a bag that can be opened and reclosed (though not resealed) in the store. My de-caff can be bought whole bean and ground right there. My dark roast, well, it's already ground, but I just run it through on the French Roast level.

If your grocery store doesn't have a grinder for one company's coffee or another, you can buy a grinder, I suppose, or go to Starbuck's, but most grocery stores seem to have grinders for one company or another every where these days.

We, too, drink Community coffee (reg. dark roast). We have a grinder and lots of times will just get the beans. I have used my Solofil cup with it, and with the small cup of water, it does ok for me. My dh still uses a different pot as he tends to like it even stronger, so no Keurig for him.

We grind our own coffee and use the ekobrew and the plastic pack of cups I bought at Walgreens. You have to grind the coffee pretty fine for the cheaper cups(walgreen cups). We received several packs of coffee as presents and had to grind the already ground coffee for our personal kcups.

My husband likes his coffee really strong and makes the first cup in the morning and I just piggyback of his cup so it's "normal" strength for me. We do the same thing with regular kcups. We buy the strong brews and get two cups from one cup.
