K Cup recommendations

Blak Smyth · 07-20-2011, 10:17 AM

I use to buy K-cups until I started buying my coffee from a friend who roast his own beans. I bought the screen kit for my Kuerig. I tried it with regular coffee and it didn't seem to work well. With my friends home roasted blend it works perfect, I think because it is a bit more coarse. Now that's all I use.

The style I use:

This style might even be better?:

I bought two of these off Amazon a month or so ago. They work awesome. Easy to fill, not bad to clean and I think you get a better tasting coffee than the normal k-cups. Plus you can use whatever coffee you like.

That's my experience as well. The finer grinds just seem to get pushed out of the way with the water pressure. The coarse grinds seem to stay in place and allow the water to mix better.
I think that aftermarket red one above might fix that problem as it appears to fan the water flow out more.
