How to get the most out of my keurig and the
May 16, 2007 3:14 PM

I love my new Keurig and I love the idea of using the My-k cup. How do I get the BEST possible cup of coffee from the refillable my-k cup? Also, does anyone DIY or hack their Keurig?

I just got a Keurig special edition B60 for law school graduation. I love it! However, I am having trouble finding the best way to use the my-k cup refillable attachment. How do you fill your my-k cup? Did you make any modifications to your machine to get the best possible cup of coffee? Thanks!

I don't have an answer, but for onlookers who might be interested, it's spelled Keurig and you can see what it's all about at the official site.

Ah, we have one of those at work. I'm interested in how to get a good cup because without instruction it sure tasted lame!

Seconding rhizome. Every time I have used one of these, the resulting product was awful.

However, this epinions article has some basic instructions. Presumably, you could also do the things that make every kind of coffee better: get recently-roasted coffee, grind it yourself, and use filtered water if your tap water isn't good.

Aw, I didn't mean to give you a hard time. I just went to see what the machine was all about and figured other people would do the same thing, so I simplified the process.

I've had a Keurig for a few years now, and I loooove it. Love it. However, I despise the "My K-Cup" thingiedoo. It's far more trouble than it's worth, in my experience, and it completely negates all of the convenience of the Keurig while also eliminating the benefit of getting a lovely cup of coffee every time. Results are spotty.

Amazon, by the way, has great deals on Timothy's K-cups. I like the Private Blend, myself.
