Disposable Paper Coffee Filters 300 Count - Compatible with Keurig, K-Cup machines & other Single Serve Coffee Brewer Reusable K Cups - Use & Make Your Own Pods - Works with All Brands, Gift

Filters work wellFirst time I tried to tuck the paper inside the basket which causes the water the was around the coffee making just hat water. Next i trapped the upperlip under the lid . This works much better, but the water bores a hole through the grounds and bypasses the ground mid way through the brewing process. Filters work great though. Easy clean up

I have an EZ Cup (brand) reusable plastic pod that uses the paper filters with the attached lid. I bought these filters knowing that they did not have tops because they were half the price (yay!) of the ones with the little flap & I had worked out ahead of time how to take care of that little deficiency. After reading the reviews here, I saw some complaints about these filters having no paper tops, so, if you have the type of reusable cup that needs those lids and have a few minutes to spare, you can read further to find out what I am doing to solve that issue. If you don't care about cost and don't want to be bothered with a quick craft project, then just buy the more expensive ones with the lid already attached and be on your way. For those with about 5 minutes of time weighing heavy on their hands and the urge for adventure, here is what to do:1. Get ahold of some basket-style coffee filters. (I already had a pack of those for my Mr. Coffee machine that I only pull out a couple times a year for a party - so they were basically free.) If you don't have any lying around your kitchen feeling useless and unloved, just buy a pack the next time you are at the supermarket - store brands are cheap & you'll still be way ahead of the game.2. Draw a little 2 ¼ inch round circle on a piece of cardstock and cut it out to use as a template. (I actually used one of the lids from the EZ Cup filters as a pattern, but, if you don't have one, just use the EZ Cup plastic lid as a guide and draw around it about 1/8 inch out from the edge.) This is a one-time step if you can manage not to lose it. I keep mine handy with the lids I made.3. Flatten out one of the paper basket-style filters on your counter or table and with a pencil, trace around your circle template onto the paper. You can fit 7 around the outer edge and 1 in the middle.4. Stack up 5 more flattened filters - total of 6 - under the one on which you drew your circles - keeping all edges even. (I suppose you could stack more, but I found 6 to be very easy to cut)5. Grab your scissors again and cut roughly around one of the outer circles OUTSIDE of the pencil line. Then, cut it out ON the line you drew. (This is easier than trying to hold the whole pack while you cut each circle.) Repeat with the rest of the circles. For each circle you cut, you will have 6 lids. When you are done, you will have 48 adorable lids. When making a cup of coffee, just center the paper lid on top of the coffee-filled filter and snap on the plastic cap.I used a stopwatch and steps 3 through 5 took me only 5 minutes and 15 seconds.That was fun, right?! You are probably wishing it wasn't all over so fast. Well, do it again! And if you have kids old enough to do this, get them in on the fun, too. In no time, you will have more lids than you know what to do with!As for the quality of the Simple Cups, I found them to work just fine - along with my little paper lids. I can't fit "quite" as much coffee into them as into the more expensive EZ Cup filters, but I haven't noticed that the quality or strength of my cup of coffee is appreciably diminished. I have used about 50 or 60 so far, and although they expand during the brewing process (as they would have to with the addition of water flowing through), I have not had one burst (as some other reviewers stated). I will buy them again because they work and I get to have the fun of cutting out the lids!

June 11, 2016 updateI am still highly pleased by these filters. They deliver the taste and I have no clean up problems. Sometimes, because they are thin (which lets the coffee flavor come through in full force. I encounter a small tear at the top of the paper from time to time, but that never causes a problem of any kind for me. As long as they keep the filters the way they are I plan on buying them 300-600 filters at a time.-------------------------------------------------------------------------These disposable filters are working well for me. I previously used a different product that I could buy 300 in a box for a reasonable price. They changed the design of their filter and used heavier material than before. These filters use the same or very similar paper as the previous product once did. My objection to the previous product filter I used was that the thicker paper seriously degraded the flavor of the coffee. Yes, it still tasted like coffee, but the aftertaste nuances were gone. What's the point of buying better coffee and then using a filter that reduces the flavor to middle of the road quality. Therefore, I highly rate this filter because it delivers the flavor I expect to get from my coffee.I do not use a Keurig brewer. I use a Bunn single serve with the drawer one would normally put the coffee in without a filter. The use of a filter means I don't have to wash the drawer each time I use it. I can wipe it out with a Kleenix for a number of uses. This filter works very well for me in this unorthodox use. I have to iron it out some with my fingers and shape it a bit in the Bunn bowl, but I had to do that before. And, once again, and most importantly this filter delivers the flavor.
