I've been tired of paying 50-60 per cup of coffee with these k cups, so I got the refillable cups where I can fill them with grounds for less than 20 cents a cup.
The problem is that it comes out weak. Anyone have the same weak coffee dilemma that found a solution?

Buy them at Costco for ~$33 for 80 cups = $.41 per.

Yeah, I get the Sams Club box for about that price. I also like the Newman brand which is about 50 per.
I also like getting fresh beans and grinding them. And it's cheaper that way, just can't seem to get a good strong cup out of the Keurig.
And If i pack the grinds, it seems to back the water up.

If that were true, the cups would be cheap.

I just grind my own coffee automatically every morning.. At least your not one of the suckers who buys Starbucks every morning; talk about a waste of money.

Only true if you're not already sitting at Starbucks because they have free wifi and/or because it's close to the UT campus.

Use a coffee filter, put it in the Kuering. Works the same way. Put however much coffee you need there. If the extra 21 cents a day is killing you, seriously, just use a coffee pot.

have you used those? Review says it's some kind of bag instead of a plastic cup?
Great price though.
I get my coffee from hemisphere coffee (http://www.hemispherecoffeeroasters.com/) and put the grounds into mesh basket for the Keurig. Comes out to about .27 to .30 cents depending on the size of the cup I use. Would be more for people that aren't close but they do ship and they have the best coffee around.

not sure why the refillable kcup would make weaker coffee than regular kcups. I have one of those refillable kcups that I use occasionally and the coffee comes out fine, not weak.
I've also used those San Francisco 'bags' in the keurig. The companies that make those keurig-compatible bags are doing it to avoid the royalties or licensing or whatever if they made actual k-cups. They work fine.
French roast is nasty though.

My mom has a gold card, still not sure of the benefits, you just put money on it to buy coffee and after a few you get a free coffee right?

That's all your adapter is, a wire filter. Just use a coffee filter. You don't need to poke a hole in it, it's already there, but if you wanted to you could just wrap it at the top. It's a coffee maker, not that complicated.

Yeah. Every 12. But the free refill part makes it worthwhile. I get a iced coffee, stay inside for 10 minutes thrn get a refill for my afternoon cup later
