The My K-Cup filter works with all the home Keurigs. We have two machines, and it works with both - one is the B60 Special Edition. You have to take the black insert out of the machine before you put the gray My K-Cup in. Take it out carefully - it has a sharp needle in it!

We use the My K-Cup a lot for tea or for special coffees, so we've gotten used to switching it out.

Here's a video for you:

Thank you for the video. That's the model brewer and filter I have and I've been doing it just that way. I'm going to try another filter, there are too many other coffees I like that Keurig doesn't carry.

I appreciate everyone's help, thank you all.

I wanted to bump this thread up and get more current opinions on using a filter for a Keurig machine. I would love to have one but would rather use my own coffee instead of the K-cups(less cost, waste, etc). Is there anyone here who uses the filter and is happy with it? I've read a lot of issues, between here and other online reviews, especially Amazon.
Thanks

I have the reuseable K cup and I don't like it at all, makes the coffee taste too weak and I like bold coffee. I use the K cups. I get them on Amazon.

I bought the Keurig reusable vs. one of those after market knock off brand ones. I only use French Roast beans, grind them fresh, and fill the filter till its flush with the top. It brews a decent cup for me that way.

We just got the 4-pack of reusables ($9.99 at Target), and have been using them for the last few weeks. We're pleased with them. The only (slight) negative is the residue from the finer grounds at the bottom of the coffee cup, but as long as I remember to swirl it as the level gets lower, it incorporates.

I would say the reusable cup is better since your coffee can be as strong as you wish, and the quality comes from the coffee you purchase, not from the coffee the Keurig people tell you to have. My husband has been using reusable cup in his Keurig for 4 years now and he likes it much more than the pods.

Since I have been drinking the coffee K cups like Newman's own extra bold, donut shop, timothy's dark magic ect... all other coffee tastes nasty to me. I used to love maxwell house and I recently had it at my SIL and I did not like it. I have filled the reusaeable K cup to the brim and it's still too weak, my keurig is about 3 years old and the newer ones have an option for coffee strength. My husband prefers the pods as well.

Thank you everyone for their opinions. I'm used to the residue since I currently use a French press. I'm concerned about the strength which can be adjusted (by type of coffee, amt, etc) . No one really mentioned that it can make a mess, supposedly?

We have not had any problems with mess. You do have to empty the reusable cups, but if you let them dry for a while, it's easier than dumping wet grounds. Also less weird than dumping warm damp coffee grounds! LOL
