Reusable K Cup (6 JavaJigs; 180 Filters) 2.0 compatible - Our refillable K Cup for Keurig uses pressure to brew a flavorful, healthy, cost effective, and eco-friendly cup of coffee MADE IN USA

- I have been searching like crazy to find a USA product that would work in my Keurig coffee maker to stop using the disposable k-cups. I cannot believe how easy and awesome this product is! I LOVE IT! The brand name speaks for itself! I highly recommend! - UPDATE - I have ordered a second box to be sure to keep on hand because I cannot stress to you enough what a great product I think this is. I did add a riser to the underneath of my Keurig to prevent splashing as the coffee does come out a bit slower while it is going through the filter. ( I just purchased a 4" X 1.5" white pvc drain cap at the hardware store..works perfectly to rise the coffee cup ). - Lastly I want to tell you what a great tasting cup of coffee it makes without any strange tastes like you get from the imported filters.

Note: Since I still seem to be a top reviewer for this item, I have decided to edit my review for a *second* time, to provide additional information about my experience. I have decided to increase my rating to five stars, for the following reasons: First, some weeks after my previous edit, JavaJig decided to contact me and *proactively* honor their risk-free guarantee. (BTW, I did *not* acquire this item as part of Vine Voice; I paid the regular price for it.) I had not requested a refund from JavaJig, because the system is not very expensive, and I enjoyed experimenting with it. But their decision really impressed me, because they're obviously paying attention to their customers' experiences. If you think this system might be a good solution for you, I'd say go ahead and order one. Based on my experience, I feel quite confident that if JavaJig doesn't work well for you, the company will honor their guarantee and refund your money. I honestly don't think you have anything to lose. Second, about a month ago, I had an opportunity to try out the system again, on behalf of a family member who might like their coffee a little milder than I like mine. During my additional experience, I made an important discovery. It turns out that in my previous experiments, two of my red caps, which are supposed to create a secure seal along the top of the pod, were not fitting very tightly, due, I guess, to a quality control issue (I notice that at least one other reviewer reported problems with the red cap). I learned that if the red cap attaches to the black insert loosely and "gently," which I previously thought was normal, I think the cap will pop off a bit during the brew, which lets some of the hot water escape out of the top of the pod, avoiding its intended path through ground coffee, and making the coffee weak. (I previously thought this was some kind of pressure-relief valve in my brewer -- see below.) If I am careful to choose a red cap that attaches with an audible "snap," and requiring a bit of force to do so, the strength of the coffee is much better. I therefore discarded two of my red caps, and now, with the remaining four caps, which all fit securely, I can get a decently-strong cup at the 6-oz setting. Some drinkers may even find the 8-oz setting acceptable, depending on their brewer and all the other variables. FYI, here are all the previous comments I left in my previous versions of my review. I hope they're helpful: After my original review, someone from JavaJig left a brief comment that seemed to offer two suggestions. The first one was to try *mixing* two different grinds: a regular coarse grind, along with some espresso grind (very fine) mixed in. I tried this a few times, with some variations in both quantity and grind, but it didn't seem to make much difference. I still couldn't get more than 6-7 grams of coffee into the pod without causing a pressure-relief hot-water bypass, so I was still getting weak coffee. The company also suggested using a Keurig brewer that has a "strong" brew setting, which will slow down the brew. This might be a good idea, but I don't have such a brewer. I suspect that most readers of this review don't either, because most of Keurig's models do not have that function. I do give the company credit for responding to my review and trying to be helpful. In my additional experiments I was able to find only one way to get some reasonably flavorful coffee using the JavaJig and my brewer. First, with some practice, I was able to force the paper filter to seat a little deeper into the pod, allowing just a bit of extra space for the ground coffee. Then, by using a fairly fine grind and some very aggressive tamping, I found that I was able to pack as much as 10-11 grams of coffee into the JavaJig. Of course, as I discussed in my original review, and as I expected, this led to some pressure-relief hot-water bypass, and weak coffee. But on my brewer, I found a way to interrupt and re-start the brewing process repeatedly, which allowed me to “simulate” the extension of extraction time that a brewer with a strong setting might have, without getting too much of the clear hot water into my cup. Anyway, this combination of steps did produce some better tasting coffee, but it required an unrealistic amount of effort. The whole point of a pod or capsule brewer, after all, is convenience. If you have to go to very much trouble, you might as well use a pour-over, French Press, or Aero-Press brewer, all of which are inexpensive, fairly easy to use, and capable of making excellent coffee tailored to your individual tastes. There are some things about the JavaJig that I like, particularly the low initial cost and ease of assembly, so I really wanted to find a way to add another star to my review. But alas, I’m going to have to leave it as it stands. You might like the JavaJig if you enjoy your coffee weaker than most people do, or if you have a brewer with a “strong” setting, or if you’re the kind of person who likes to tinker and experiment with things. If you fit one of these categories, you could look in your local stores to see if you can find an inexpensive basic start-up kit, containing a single JavaJig and a starter supply of filters, and give it a try. Otherwise, I’d say give it a pass. Read on if you want to see my original review and reasons for my rating: I've been using JavaJig for a couple of weeks now, and I'm still struggling to find a combination of coffee grind and quantity that yields a good-tasting cup with this reusable pod system. First, it's pretty easy to assemble and fill the pods, and they fit fine in my brewer. I haven't had any failures of any of the plastic parts or disposable paper filters. It's not quite so easy to disassemble and clean the pods (two of the three reusable parts come in contact with wet grounds), but I can live with that. And the system is not too expensive, either. My reservations involve aspects of the design of this system. If you look closely at the design of many *other* reusable pods on the market, you'll see that the brewed coffee is allowed to escape along *both* the sides and the bottom of the paper or mesh filter. With the JavaJig, the brewed coffee escapes only through the bottom, and combined with the fairly strong and thick paper filter material, my guess is that the system provides a fair amount of "resistance" to the flow of the hot water through the pod and out the bottom. This can be a good thing. If it allows some pressure to build inside the pod and slows down the water flow a bit, this should theoretically lengthen and improve the extraction and probably produce a stronger and better-tasting cup. But with my brewer, at least, it seems very difficult to make this idea work, and the result is that this system is actually giving me weaker coffee than other reusable pod systems I have tried. The first problem is capacity. Along the inside bottom edge of the shell of the JavaJig pod, there are ribs that keep the paper filter away from the puncturing needle that is part of your machine's pod holder. This is probably necessary, because puncturing the filter would constitute a failure and would fill your brewed coffee with grounds. But this feature also forces the paper filter to "ride high," reducing the volume available to hold the coffee grounds. I find that it's difficult to get more than 6-7 grams of coffee into the pod (10 or more would be ideal), and with the short extraction time inherent with all K-cup brewers, the result is a weak cup, even at the smallest cup setting. To improve strength, I have tried using a finer grind, which makes the most of the short extraction time. I have also tried tamping the grounds a bit, which allows me to "squeeze" a little more coffee into the pod. I've tried various combinations of the two. What usually happens, I think, is that the increased pressure inside the pod at the hot water injector opens a safety valve inside my brewer, which routes some of the hot water *around* the pod holder to relieve the pressure. I can observe this during brewing as a diffused sprinkling of clear hot water dripping into my cup, separate from the darker central stream of brewed coffee coming from the pod holder. The pressure relief valve prevents a tightly-packed JavaJig from causing a possibly-explosive failure of my brewer and keeps everyone in my kitchen safe, but the result is a cup of weak, watery coffee. This seldom happens with other reusable pods I’ve tried, and it *never* happens with store-bought disposable pods, even with premium brands that pack as much as 13 grams of coffee into the pod. (If you take apart some store-bought K-pods, you’ll see that some of them have a different, ingenious construction that allows maximum room for the coffee grounds while protecting the paper filter from puncture.) In my experiments so far, I find that with the JavaJig system, I am limited to a low mass of coffee, with a course grind and very little tamping. In other words, weak coffee. I will continue my experiments and will update this review if I find a way to get the JavaJig to make even a tiny cup that competes with the taste of a good pre-filled pod. Many of you would not want to bother with this, so for now I would recommend this system only to someone who enjoys their coffee fairly weak.

Wanted to find a reusable, paper filter k-cup- ordered the 6 jigs/180 filters. Used with Folgers classic roast, brewed STRONG and got a perfect cup. Used with espresso ground Illy, brewed regular and got another perfect cup! LOVE that I have a small set & can prefill a few for mornings when I'm feeling "lazy." The cups are easy to empty grounds/filters into the compost then rinse quickly to prepare for their next use. Instructions are foolproof. But there's videos too if that's more your style! Packaging was appealing with great design and ZERO plastic waste. The ONLY thing that would have made me love my purchase any more was if I'd known about their caddy before I ordered this set!

I really like Java Jigs as an alternative to the plastic re-usable cups. Those really are a pain to clean. The Java Jig filter is just like a regular paper coffee filter, and just as easy to deal with. Then, instead of struggling to get the last clump of coffee grounds out of the corner of the filter, you just rinse the lid and you’re good to go. On top of that, these people are an absolute joy to deal with. When I first placed my order several years ago there was a problem with delivery. Delivery, not shipping. They were not at fault in any way. But when I contacted them to clarify the situation, they responded by sending a replacement for the holder that USPS lost the next day. I hadn’t asked for that; I just wanted to check that my order had come in 2 packages before I started yelling at the mailman. Yesterday I contacted them again about buying some more lids. They’re not poorly made but I have severe arthritis and it makes me a bit ham fisted. I’ve managed to break a couple prying them off. So I sent a message asking if I could purchase some replacements. They’re sending me more. No charge. These people are wonderful, have I mentioned that? I really wish I needed more of their products so I could help them to be wildly successful. Customer service like this deserves to be wildly successful.

In the pictures of comparisons, the left one is the Java jig with their provided paper filter, which can hold 2T of coffee max. Note the different depth compared to deeper ez-cup filter. Using an ez-cup filter you can have 2 1/2T. Also tried javajig in an emptied Starbucks kcup with its filter intact which can hold 2 1/2T due to the jig taking up the extra space (Starbucks uses 3T in their kcups). The coffee remains is from a brewed javajig using an ez-cup filter, just a trace of ground and no sludge. Usually no grounds either but sometimes a few. I personally prefer to use the deeper filter to allow for more coffee to be brewed per kcup as well as the extra paper under the lid which brews it cleaner and less air to get to the grounds if you make up a few in advance. The javajig comes with 5 kcup setups. I did have to use a drill bit to pop out the extra cap holes for my multistream keurig. They are pretty easy to clean.

It took a little trial and error to get the right amount of coffee in the pod for my taste, but after a little trial and error, every cup is perfectly brewed; but the best part is the cost! A huge savings!

Product amazing. Finding the filters is horrible. Ordered from Amazon but its a different vendor. So a ton of issues with them

These are the best reusable K cups I have ever had. Each individual one has its own little coffee filter you only use once like the ones you use in a regular coffee machine and then you throw away the filter. I buy my coffee by the pound and I get better than 50 cups of coffee out of a pound whereas 50 K cups would probably cost better than $60. I pay.8.99 for a pound of Dunkin' Donuts coffee quite a savings just to use these reusable things. I love them.
