If you use the reusable coffee filter insert, the cost of the coffee is dramatically reduced because you don't need to buy k cups. I get some very strong coffee with the reusable filter insert using ground espresso for the coffee, and filling it all the way to the top.
Thanks, THIS is what I needed to know.
I didn't realize I had so many options with the Keurig until this thread!
*I understand why you don't want one Banshee, but I rarely need more than one or two cups at a time, these days.
Oh, glad I could help. There are several little reusable filters on the market, I do NOT recommend the one by Keurig for their machines as it squirted water everywhere in my machine. I got a different one through Amazon and it works much better. It's just a little baby coffee filter, and you fill it to the desired level to decide how strong you want it with whatever ground coffee you wish to use. Before they came out with Dunkin Donuts k cups, this is how i had Dunkin Donuts k cups [:)] Obviously, the price of a cup of coffee from a Keurig machine drops dramatically if you aren't buying k cups, and are only paying for the amount of ground coffee used in this filter.
For strong coffee I bought Medaglia D'Oro ground espresso and filled it to the top line on the filter insert; give it a bit more time for the water to finish dripping through the filter. You dump out the grounds, rinse, and voila, ready for another cup whenever. Just a note, there are NEVER any grounds in the coffee, even with the fine espresso bean grind.
It's really a waste for me to make a pot, and even when there are more people around, they rarely seem to want coffee at the same time, lol.
