Cancel the K-Cups for Your Keurig & Use Regular Coffee

We love our Keurig Coffee Maker but are less than thrilled to pay $10 for a box of 24 K-Cups.  Yes, they are oh so simple in the morning and get me my coffee fast, but they generate a lot of trash and I can't always find the coffees I want. 

Then I received a K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter as a gift and now I can use any coffee I want with my Keurig!  You just put any coffee you want in the filter and it works just as well as the expensive K-Cups!  

Much greener with less waste and now we can compost our coffee grounds too!  Save money, have your caffeine and be green!  Easy to use and highly recommended!

I hate that the K-cups aren't recycelable, either. We have the reusable K-cups but I agree with the above response, that they're not as quick or neat!

We have the re-useable filter as well as order the k-cups regularly from a site based in CT. The reuseable filter is great, however it can be quite messy at times... Def. more environmentally friendly, but not quite as neat and quick!!
