Has anyone tried this with the ekobrew refillable k-cup?

It absolutely should. All K-cups are the same size (but vary in shape). If it fits in the Keurig, it will fit in this grinder. I have about 4 different types of reusable k-cups that I had before I got the grinder and they all fit and form a good seal to prevent coffee ground spillage. I hope this helps.EDIT: Those Ekobrew cups look freaking awesome!

Yes! Works great with one issue. We have the little brown/greed/red plastic ones. (Not metal) They do give you one of theirs though (a little better design too). The issue is that this grinder always grinds too much, even on setting "1". So you have to stop it manually after 5/6 seconds. If you don't mind that, it's a lot easier than refilling those from a bag.

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

I've been looking at that this morning. It looks like the Keurig models that don't allow you to use the refillable pods are the new machines that are listed as a 2.0 version. 'read that on the Consumer Reports site.

I don't have the 2.0 but my neighbor does. I tried it in hers and it didn't work. It gave an Oops message. The EZ-cup is the very best way to make your own K-cup. Works the best and the filters make it a breeze to clean. No messy grounds to deal with

I can't speak to whether the ekobrew is better or worse than the Keurig version, but the problem you experience when using the Keurig reusable cup is easy to solve. There's a "donut" rubber gasket that fits around the steel hot water injection tube that pierces the top of a standard K-cup in your brewer. Through use, this gasket gets pushed up and as a result it doesn't seal properly against the top of the reusable K-cup. To fix the water from escaping the top of the Keurig reusable cup, gently pull the gasket downward until it's close to - but not off of - the injector tip. Don't worry about pulling it down too far - the K-cup and your machine will fix this. Just close it gently.

No it does not work, unless you do the "hack" where you tape a 2.0 k- cup ring to the top of your machine☝️. You can see how to do this on YouTube

The product is called the "My K-cup" and it works fine with my B30. It seems expensive, but if you consider the cost to the environment of using the wastefully convenient disposables, plus the advantage of being able to use your own choice of coffee, it's definitely worth it in my opinion!

can this be left in to use with regular k-cups without switching back and forth?

Well this is my experience with the K145 Office Pro model. The machine in my office will take a generic reusable k-cup filter, however, the same model in my home would not. I had to research which reusable filter was compatible and that would be an EkoBrew. It fits fine and coffee brews perfectly through it. The EkoBrew reusable K-cup filter can be purchased through Amazon or at Wal-Mart for about $7.99 or so. I hope this helps, good luck.

I haven't used my "My-K Cup" refill in this model, but since it uses standard Keurig K-Cups would expect that it would.

Nope. You cannot use the hard plastic refillable My K Kup in the B155 brewer. Says so on the Keurig website.

Hello, no I tried the k-cups and they don't fit. Had to open them up and dump the coffee in the little basket. Other than that I love the little thing; it's easy to use and clean and as I keep a stockpile of large containers of ground coffee, we use less and waste less so I consider it a good deal.

NO - And Keurig conceals the fact that their "commercial" K-Cup brewing systems are not compatible (they made a mod to lock them out.) I just talked with their factory customer service. The directed me to a page titled "All K-Cup Brewing Systems" (www.keurig.com/shop/brewers/all-brewers) and only the HOME versions (first 5) work with a K-Cup. Even though the page even says "All K-Cup" and the model we bought starts with a K (K150) as in K-Cup!! Now that we're stuck with the K150 I see that they sneakily added special tabs to where you would put a K-Cup that locks it out. Makes it hard to close. Causes leaks if you try. Their customer service explanation is that K-Cups are "inconvenient" in an office. Truth is exactly the opposite. All they are trying to ko is FORCE you to use their own non-reusable coffee. And they conceal this dirty trick. And they even lock out THEIR OWN K-Cups. And their non-reusable coffee is VERY expensive. So we've been screwed by Keurig! Anyone found a solution to this problem? Help...!

Not at all! We tried 2 different times but both of them would cause the k-cups to explode and coffee would go everywhere. Don't waste your time or money on this.

Has someone an up-to-date answer on re-usable K-cup filters for the K145? Heard as of Oct. 2014...they don't???

I found that if you pack the grounds it goes into the cup very slowly. I just spoon in the grounds and tap the EKOBREW on the counter. The more tightly packed the slower it brews.

I'm in the same boat here. Bought a "Brew & Save" but it doesn't fit in the commercial K-cup holder (there are 2 tabs in there that make it too tight and cause it to misalign with the needle in the bottom). Anyone know if a standard K-cup holder will fit in a commercial model? Mine is the K140.
