2 Pack Reusable K Cups Coffee Pods for Keurig 1.0: Stainless Steel Refillable K Cup - Reusable Coffee Filter for Keurig 1.0 Coffee Maker, Permanent, Eco-Friendly, Innovative Design

These were an easy way to really up my coffee game. They are made of very sturdy stainless steel - no plastic components - so you don't have to worry about damaging the plastic, or whatever might be in the plastic leaching into your coffee. The sealing ring is the only non-stainless component, and that's made of silicone, which is food-safe, non-reactive, and temperature stable up to well over twice the temperature of boiling water.They seal nice and snugly and work perfectly in my K cup machine. In combination with a relatively inexpensive burr coffee grinder that I also got here on Amazon, now I'm enjoying fresh ground coffee in the mornings. The taste and aroma are so much better this way, and buying whole bean coffee is so much more economical than buying pre-filled K cups!I'm still experimenting with the coarseness of the grind and the fill level, but preliminary experiments seem to suggest that a medium grind is best, filling each cup up to about 1/4" or so from the top with ground coffee and *not* tamping it down like you would for an espresso machine. Cups should be just full enough so the little projecting screen on top touches the surface of the grounds when inserted. To measure the beans pre-grind, I use this reusable K cup as a measure. I'd say you want about the same fill level with unground beans that you do with the final grind - a bit below the top. Filling up 2 K cups with beans to the top seems to produce a bit too much ground coffee for 2 uses of the cup. For brew settings, I'm using the largest size on the K cup machine, without selecting the "extra strong brew" setting as that seemed to be a bit too strong for my taste, but that's probably going to depend on the exact beans you use.In terms of cleaning, the used grounds do tend to pack up very tightly in the cups, so you'll have to get your fingers or a brush in there to break them up as flowing tap water alone sometimes won't get all of them out, but once broken up the grounds rinse right out. I've been reusing the cups with only a rinse between brews during a single morning, then when I'm done making coffee for the day I give them a gentle soap with dish soap, rinse in tap water, then dry on a regular drying rack. I don't have a dishwasher, but you could definitely wash them in one if you had one, but I'd still get the grounds out manually first.

We are loving these stainless steel reusable K-cups! They are easy to clean, easy to fill, and they work great! I enjoy being able to fill them with my favorite coffee for a fraction of the price of plastic single-serving cups. I also like that they are environmentally friendly and not wasting all that plastic. The taste is great too, no metallic taste - just pure coffee. Good value too when you consider how well made they are and how many uses you will get. We have used them about 30 times so far, and the silicone seals are still like brand new. They wash out very easily. Would definitely recommend!

No more expensive pods. No more plastic waste. No more concern over drinking leeched chemicals.There is a small silicon type of gasket on the lid, and they give ya like a half dozen extras in the twin pack, but I think the contact is pretty minimal. I mean - it's as close to "all metal" that I could find, and there's no water "running through" plastic or silicone. It's a fine metal mesh screen that the water runs though to enter the pod, and the entire pod is all metal. Just 1 small gasket to seal the top to the bottom.Definitely buy the scoop with the sliding funnel top for these. They should sell it together with these pods. Fill, use, empty, rinse, repeat.

Over the years I've tried 'My K-cup' and many other third party reusable cups. All of them-- even on the Strong setting-- produced coffee that was noticeably weaker than actual K-cups. I liked the fact that these are stainless steel as opposed to plastic so bought a couple. They are *excellent*! The clever design of a graded set of holes (fewer holes on the upper side of the cup increasing to a lot on the lower side, along with holes on the bottom) produces a wonderfully bold coffee. I've recently used Illy, Peet's and Don Francisco and all of them have given me a bold, satlsifying cup. Hint: don't use the 'Strong' setting, for some reason it doesn't work as well.These work very well, avoid the landfill and save a lot of $$. My Illy has gone from almost a buck each for an actual K-cup to about 60 cents using these cups and a can of Illy coffee. Even better with other blends.One minor downside is that the lid gasket only seems to last about six weeks at three cups per day, which is probably why they include six extras. They should either include double that or offer the gaskets as standalone product (though with the low price of these that may not be feasible). Anyway, as a coffee lover I can highly recommend giving these a try.[Update] I contacted CAPMESSO via their chat and got the following: "Sure, thanks for your patience and kindness. We sell 20 pcs gasket solely, here is the Asin number that you can refer to:B0DMJHZZS9."

Good product better quality than the plastic ons.

My wife and I love to grind and brew our morning coffee, but the least our drip coffee maker can brew is eight cups, too many for our morning needs, so we also have a K-Cup brewer. That gets expensive, so these CAPMESSO Stainless Steel Refillable K Cups are both useful and economical. I can grind enough coffee for two cups, fill both of the pods in this kit, and brew us each a great morning cup. The stainless steel doesn't change the flavor, looks great, and should last forever. There are spare silicone gaskets included if we should happen to lose one or wear them out, and they're easy to clean. I am delighted with these.
