Anyone use these with an EkoBrew k-cup?Does the filter and a scoop of coffee interfere with the water cone on the bottom of the Ekobrew lid?

Yes, I would push the filter down but the coffee grounds would be packed at the lid when finished brewing. But since I got then I don't have grounds in my coffee. I'm just bummed, keurig brewer stopped heating the water after I got my second order of these.

I just bought a K145 to replace my dearly departed 5 year-old B145. The ekobrew reusable k cup filter does not fit into the holster of the K145. (Nice move, Keurig!) However, I was able to take the holster out of my old model and fit it into the new model, so I can continue to use my ekobrews.

If your Keurig used standard K-cups, which I imagine it does, then the EZ-Cup and filters will work perfectly. Fill the cups completely, put the top filter paper down, making sure it aligns with the filter paper in the cup, then snap down the lid. Works great!

The cone does lock into place and does not fall out. Removing the cone makes it easier to clean, although I never do that: I just put the whole thing into the dishwasher. Must add that this is the best cone unit available, partly because the coffee never touches plastic. TIP: only use the hario filters.

I haven't had that happen. I use the Keurig My K-Cup reusable coffee filter with the EZ-cup Filter Papers. How I use the EZ cup filters is to insert them into mesh filter basket, add coffee, insert the mesh filter basket into the filter holder and insert filter holder into my Keurig

I have a Keurig mini, so I have not used this system. I notice it says you can use it with or without the filters. Personally, I love the convenience of just plucking the filter with the coffee in it out of the container and dropping it in the trash. This, plus a better cup of coffee, is what makes the EZ-Cup system superior, to me, to the My K Cup system Keurig offers. I've used My K Cup, and it's a pain to clean that stainless steel basket each time. I wonder if cleaning the stainless steel basket in the Eco-Fill system might also be a pain. Hope this helps.

I've had this machine for only 4 days now, and the only problem I see with it is that even with low levels of coffee grounds they come perilously close to overflowing the #4 cone filter. I suspect this is due to two factors: 1) the filter basket bottom is flat so that once the filter is wet it sags to conform which lowers it and allows grounds to overflow, and 2) I suspect water flows faster than other coffeemakers I've had (DCC-1200) and this causes water to stay in the basket longer. I'm using the same amount and grind on my coffee and also the same filters and this was never an issue on the DCC-1200. I'll experiment a bit and hopefully find a solution or this is going back.

These mesh baskets require a k-cup adapter that replaces the k-cup holder In the machine. If your machine does not have a removeable peice where you insert the k-cups to put in the adaptor (my k-cup assembly) then these mesh baskets would be worthless for you. For you I would recomend trying the solofill or the ekobrew cups which do not require taking peices out of your machine to use, they sit in like a k-cup would. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions I'll do my best to help!:)

I don't have this exact same cone, so I don't know. The cones are designed to fit over a mug. If you are using a 12 oz mug, pour 4 ounces of hot water over the coffee and let filter through. Then pour another 8 ounces over the coffee. When it drains through, you're done.

this cone has 3 holes... fortunately i kept the old holder with only one hole..it works much better for me.for some reason the filter papers tend to lay on the holes and block the coffee from filtering down into the container. i usually end up holding the filter paper up just a bit on one side then it works just fine...i get tired of this and go back to my old filter holder. when i have guests over i use both holders ...the one with only one hole finishes filtering the coffee before the new one is 1/2 way down.[perhaps i have a defective one ???]

I have a small Rival one cup coffeemaker. If the basket size on the HB model is like mine then no, the JavaJig filters are too small. The JavaJig filters fit into a small cup not much larger than a KCup that pops into a Keurig machine. I just use a regular basket paper filter on my single brewer and fold the excess over the edge before I put the lid down to brew.

You can use any #2 or #4 cone filters, that you can get at the local grocery store. I bought #4 brew-rite from my local WalMart. The reason I bought #4 size is because it fits above the cone and allows you to put more coffee and water without worrying if it is going to run over. I did find that you also need to use boiling hot water if you want your coffee to come out with the right flavor/concistancy.

The coffee is placed directly in the filter and then brewed. Generally this works well but there is sediment (coffee fines?) at the bottom of the cup. Also coffee is not as strong as the K-cups which I think is because the water passes too quickly through the filter.

I dont know what the ekobrew is so I suggest you check with the ez cup manufacturer.

I don't use cone filters. I use the cheap regular filters that fit in any coffee brewer. Push the filter into the Melitta. Dampen the filter slightly with water to make it stay in place. They work fine.

Paulette: Yes, a #2 cone filter is required. I prefer the brown filters over the white - they seem a bit heavier & allow less residue. Family tradition "requires" that I use 7 level scoops for 4 cups of full flavored coffee! Are we nut cases? - probably, but four generations can't be all wrong. Enjoy!

Product supposedly not for use with Keurig units, however, no others that have used it and it works fine. Have used the filters and ez cup myself and it work great for me. Hope this is helpful.
