And I can't seem to get enough coffee into one of them to compensate. All the reusable filter cups I've tried result in a weaker (to me) cup of coffee. If I have to buy the tiny paper filters for use with these kinds of reusable cups (and pack the coffee in them) to get the strength I like, then most of the associated convenience and cost-savings are lost anyway. |
My experience as well. It isn't about the money, it's about the coffee coming out. I get excellent coffee with regular k-cups (assuming I buy good coffee, obviously), but can't duplicate it with the reusable ones, no matter how I modify the grind.
