I've recently added a keurig elite (b-40) to my coffee stable. The coffee is fine... some of the varieties are better than others. But one of the first things I did was order some reusable k-cup systems. My goal for this isn't necessarily to get "the best" coffee... I've got my other methods which I've nailed down for my own personal tastes. What I'm looking for is a way to somewhat maintain the convenience of the keurig, reduce waste, and save a few cents per cup made -- all while making the best cup possible.
So for those that use one of the reusable systems, what tips do you have? I've orderd two different kinds: solofill and ekobrew.
for those interested, the keurig is a decent system. Great for super fast pretty good coffee. Awesome for mornings before going into work. I even found myself using it even though I had the time to use another method. For me, the key isn't just the time I have to brew the coffee; it's whether I have the time to sit and enjoy and appreciate the differences between keurig and something like an aeropress or frenchpress... with two kids though, that type of time to just sit quietly and drink coffee is kind of rare.
