Does the Ekobrew allow grounds in your cup? Does this product allow grounds or powder in your coffee cup after use?

Do people understand coffee brewing? Any brewing method that doesn't pass the brewed coffee through some sort of paper (etc.) filter is going to have "sediment". No method of grinding coffee beans exists that will result in zero sediment with the grounds, if you want zero sediment you have to filter through something that will block small particles. And consequently you reduce the perceived "strength" of the brewed coffee. Now, "grounds" in your brewed coffee, that's another issue entirely and does indicate something wrong. It may be that your ekobrew (or whatever) isn't properly sealed somewhere which allows grounds to get out during the pressurized water injection of brewing with a Keurig. Various Keurig brewers (randomly affecting every model, and not consistently affecting everyone) seem to suffer not making a tight seal at the top where the water needle pokes into k-cup. You could of course return your brewer and state it is defective and get another which may or may not have the same issue. Or do a bit of searching about for cures and find the simple solution of inserting a $.03 nylon washer (any hardware store) above the rubber gasket that surrounds the needle (thus sealing against the top of the k-cup). Everyone in my family has a k-cup brewer of some sort now, some of us have been affected and some have not, but the thin nylon washer trick has always cured the issue when present. For less than $.25 I bought an assortment of different thickness nylon washers and have cured this issue every time.

I bought just your basic ground coffee (Maxwell House). It works fine. Takes the same time to brew as a K-cup. I have found that when the water does not come through like it should, I clean the brew head with a paperclip. Coffee tends to clog in it.

Yes. I use the Ekobrew Stainless Steel Reusable Cup to brew loose tea, homemade cocoa and my own ground coffee blends. Add your blend, brew, rinse and repeat for the next cup.

No, and I don't think such a feature would be of any advantage unless the grinder is built into an automatic coffeemaker. You want to get the grounds in water as soon as possible after grinding, so you don't lose all that aroma!

No, that us why I bought this model. Just rinse out the reusable basket filter. No grounds go into your coffee.

No. It has a plastic filter screen. Instructions say to dampen the filter before adding the ground coffee. Works well without excessive grounds in coffee.

It didn't work. I finally came upon coffee grounds as a solution. Starbucks gives customers used grounds. I started spreading them around the mounds and near the scat. I replenished a few times and never needed to again.

No. This takes pre filled k cups or you can buy a filter cup and use regular coffee grounds in it.

You can't. I had this reusable filter and used it when I had my Keurig B70 and it worked quite well. When I bought my B155, I tried putting the EkoBrew into the B155's k-cup holder and it wouldn't fit. From what I saw the small, sharp blades used to pierce the k-cup didn't match up to the Ekobrew's holes hence, you couldn't close the lid without damaging the filter or the brewer's k-cup holder. That's the one thing I didn't like about this brewer because I did enjoy using my own coffee blends with this filter on my old B70. But, after a number of years with this B155 and it's reliability, I could live without the EkoBrew. Hope this helped. You can't.

The way I used it was to fill the little eco-filter with the coffee like I would for a K-cup and then put the filter inside the bigger cup to use in the machine. I think that if you put the coffee directly into the adaptor cup you would have a big problem with grounds in your coffee.

Hey P. Radcliffe, Ekobrew filters arrived today7/28. They work Great. Using the included Bunn measure spoon reads 2 cups per 10oz water. I put 2 Flat level full grinds into filter & closed filter lid fine. So, I know it will hold 2 spoonful, I usually make my coffee slight less than 2 spoonful & 8oz water.The beauty part is I shook the full used grinds & filter from the holder in 1 shake. Do not have to rinse holder after each cup. Just rinse holder when I am thru drinking coffee each day.TIP: used grounds + filter dropped out of holder in one try. I think it will drop out faster while still hot instead of letting the grounds dry in the holder.Enjoyed chatting with you. Hey P. Radcliffe, Ekobrew filters arrived today7/28. They work Great.

Yes, and it worked just fine. However, I used an Ekobrew Reuseable K Cup Filter. I only used it because I already had a Keurig, and it saves time in a pinch. When I have the time, I much prefer using my AeroPress.

I have used it for rooibos and it catches most of the grounds, maybe not 100% but sufficient for me. I haven't used it for coffee, but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

It does not. If you buy pre ground coffee you will see some fines that make it to the cup but not a terrible amount. However, if you grind your own, you can grind it a little coarser which should eliminate the carry over.

Are you inserting the filter in a plastic filter cup or directly in the machine? We use ours in a filter cup and have never had a problem. They work great with our own ground coffee.

You must use the disposable paper filters in order to have good results. The paper filter holds the coffee off the bottom of the Ekobrew filter and allows the water to flow more freely and it will not only flow faster it will taste way better with no coffee scum left in your cup.
