How many times do U use before disposing it off? It reads "Use the cups several times and discard or recycle if showing any signs of wear and tear."

I've had mine for close to a year and no signs of wear or tear yet. I used them strictly for storing and freezing breast milk. They are pretty sturdy so I would imagine they would last a pretty long time as long as they are used properly.

A lot of times, don't worry. You can use hot water to clean it without any problem

We reused them. You can't reuse them A LOT but if you are careful you can get 2-3 times out of them

I use paper towels to scrap the clogged grounds from the filter when I need to use it again - I have two filter cups to fill up with my decaffeinated coffee in the mornings after breakfast daily! Good luck in cleaning yours thoroughly!!

I've had my cups for a few years now and the markings are just a clear as they were the day I bought them. And I don't treat them gingerly either. They are thrown in the washer, left to soak in soapy water, scrubbed with rough scrubbers. I can scratch it with my fingernail and it won't budge!

Well I use my oil a few times then throw it out! It's not healthy to reuse over and over again!

What Haddy said. I'm on my 2nd 4 cup maker using the reuseable basket I bought with the 1st. Once a week I'll throw it in the dishwasher.

Although I was VERY careful using and cleaning it, it did not last long. I didn't even recycle it to a thrift shop. I saw it in a retail store this week.....for MUCH less than I paid for it through Amazon. It was exactly the same......not really a bargain since it would be thrown away too. I agree with Sasha: I would be interested in a QUALITY version.

All what I've read is that one should use it after doing a lot of shredding. I use it every time I fill bin twice. Mainly you just want to make sure to keep it maintained.

It all depends how often you use it. I'm currently using the original pads and I use it weekly . It just needs washing and it's good as new .

I don't see the recycling symbol anywhere on the cup or lid. It does say they're made with 20% recycled material, but I don't think they are recyclable.

You can buy additional filters and reuse these many times. Rinse them out after each use, re-fill them, and place a piece of masking tape over the hole in the lid (that prevents leaks). When you put the used cup in your Keurig, align the bottom hole with the bottom pin (don't poke another hole in the bottom). Every time you re-use them the cost is that much lower.

If you have purchased the disposable cup and lid, they usually come with filters, but once you use it, thee can be recycled by taking the lid off, washing them and then put the disposable filters in the empty cup, place lid back on. I have reused mine until the use is so warn that the lid will not stay on. Fill and brew is the brand of cup and lid that I purchased. I have even used the filters in the reusable fill/brew that Keurig has. These are great.

You can reuse the cup every cycle. I used an antibacterial soap after my last day and stored it in the pouch that comes with it. I have not bought pads or tampons now since I bought the cup. No need for them.

It means that you empty out the filter and use it over and over. I don't think you should put it in a dishwasher!

On our cups it is a #7 which means it contains a resin or combination of plastics. Plus is difficult to recycle because of this combination. It is said to use #7 at your own risk but my husband [74 years old] has used this cup for many years [or slight variation] and hasn't killed him yet. The one of ours that I looked at had a #4 on the outside and would seem that numbers may differ on what some others have.

I empty mine after every use as the instructions advise. It's an expensive piece of equipment. Why not take care of it properly?

It depends on how much you believe the manufacturer. The bottle says to use all of it, every time you clean. Most people I know use half the bottle or so. I use 1/3 of the bottle each time.
