Out of the Folgers plastic container I put 3 scoops in our drip coffee maker for 6 - 8 cups of water. This little filter will hold almost the same amount. So I reduced the amount of coffee and it came out looking like tea. I don’t want to use the same amount of coffee I normally use for a pot to make one cup. Is my math off?

This is turning into a real pain. Coffee is decent, but I think I am losing the time I thought I was saving. Still dont know what grind to use.

I tried my K Cup filter and every time, the water comes out over the sides after a few seconds of brewing. I have to keep a paper towel handy for overflow of water. I put the lid on the filter, so I don’t know why this is happening.

I have tried My K Cup and doesn’t matter what I do it overflows. Not sure if the coffee grind is to fine. I tried different levels and still overflows. I am dissapointed in the My K Cup.

My first K Cup let out both a stream of coffee and a stream of clear water. I bought a second K Cup and obtained the same result, a diluted cup of coffee. I use Peet’s coffee because of the taste and the bouquet. Both are diluted an unacceptable when the K Cup is used.

Additionally, I have tried several different grinds with the same result. I will purchase another coffee maker rather than allow Keurig to me to buy their coffee “pods.” Is this a purposeful design flaw by Keurig?

I took Tedd’s advice but I opened a new one as a used one would have the grounds compacted. I opened a new one (Green Mountain Colombian)and poured the grounds into the My K-Cup filter and discovered that they come right about up to the top set of lines that is engraved into the filter. (I brewed it rather than throw it way.) Repeated this with some Dunkin Donuts coffee and was satisfied with the results.

I haven’t tried the k-cup filter yet but it seems to me that opening a used one should reveal the type of grind and the quantity of coffee required.

Thanks so much for the detailed instructions. I wasn’t sure how to get the K-cup assembly out and found your site more helpful than Keurig’s!

I have been trying the k-cup accessory filter today. After two cups of coffee it is still weaker than I prefer. I am using a coffee that I love (Dunkin Doughnuts) that comes pre-ground for drip machines. I am beginning to think (after two cups) this may not be the right accessory for me. I am going to keep playing around with it though. I do think I may need to grind my own beans and a little finer than drip ground. I do appreciate Keurig making the effort with this accessory, thanks.
