I simply reheat later in the microwave if any is left. Oct 18, Love it by: Anonymous I love mine just use them once and buy more!! Jul 23, Decaf reuse? At the same time aI got this Keurig machine. Been using for about six weeks. So will soon try reusing a cup by taking out, squeezing sides a bit, put back in and see what happens! Jan 25, Recycling. I know as a fact no company will accept Keurig cups from any county recycling centre..
Recycling centres can only function if companies will accept their waste. Although the triangle is thought to be a recycling symbol by much of the public, It only signifies the type of plastic and the possibility of recycling 5 plastic is of no value if no company will do it. Jul 31, Reusable k cups by: Anonymous I have a 2. I buy reusable kcups but they have an orange sticker.
Once it's gone you cant use them. What a rip off. It would be insane for someone to not see the wisdom in that Apr 10, Stop being cheap! If you want cheap coffee get a regular coffee maker. Nov 23, I like a big cup by: Teresa I use a single use k-cup pod and set it for a 6 ounce cup of coffee.
As soon as the cup is brewed I open the lid and close it straight back and hit 6 more ounces. I get a 12 ounce cup of coffee that tastes just fine I like my coffee strong, and cannot drink it weak. My Keurig will only brew up to 10 ounces, so this way I get 12 ounces, no problem. I have not ever 'stored' used pods to use later. Daughter gave me hers, so I pre-fill them both the day before. I use bulk Folger's grounds.
I save a TON of cash, keep those pods out of the landfill, AND get to enjoy the aroma of coffee grounds during the fill! Jan 27, 20oz by: Anonymousguynamedjack Personal opinion here. I find if you use 1 kcup and brew ml aka 20oz aka 2 standard mugs at once.. Currently drinking a breakfast blend "top up" as I type this up. Neat to see anothers agree with similar findings.
Oct 26, Reusing K-Cup by: Jack Burton I just tried reusing a k-cup for a 2nd cup of iced coffee, man it was terrible tasted like an ashtray I still have the awful taste in my mouth.
Unlike mine mild and the taste is samebonthe second as the first! Jun 30, Squeeze your K-cup by: Anonymous If you open up a used k-cup, you will see an inverse "cone" cut in the coffee caused by the water passing through it. It is obvious that a second use would miss most the coffee pushed out of the way by the stream of the first cycle.
When I re-use a k-cup, I take it out, squeeze the side to collapse the cone and I get a stronger second cup that way. Apr 20, mold? It might have been mold growing in them over weeks or months. That mold did happen last summer in the summer heat, so I now have tons of used cups in the fridge, ready to re-use at the lowest ounces setting of 2.
Will cut open the remaining counter cups today, to examine for mold. The re-use counter batches tasted normal, so the weirdness might just be "me". LOL But that has never happened before in my 71 years, and only lasted days until it "wore off". I assumed that the used cups stored on the counter would be safe in winter, but that was probably a mistake.
I will store them in the fridge from now on, for sure, or re-use them within a day or so. Full price is fool price! Apr 05, Is it healthy? Apr 04, How many times to use one K-Cup by: Anonymous My Keurig only has a 10oz maximum size so when I am filling a travel mug I will do a 10oz strong brew and then using the same pod do a 4oz or 6 oz brew from the same pod to get oz of coffee from one pod.
Feb 09, Add a little more by: Hank After using the k-cup once, cut a small 'cross' into the hole at the top of the cup. Pull back the little aluminum edges that you made with the cut enough so that you can pour a small amount of loose coffee into the enlarged hole.
Press the edges back down again so the original hole is formed back up and reuse the cup. The added loose coffee is enough to sufficiently strengthen the second cup.
Jan 03, So complicated!? However, many of these answers are so confusing. By saying you use your cup "twice to make 2 cups of coffee" without including what ounces you use, doesn't really answer the question. So,I will give my non professional 2 cents. First I use a reusable filter and my own ground beans. I fill the reusable cup up to the mark that says "Max" typically about 3 teaspoons.
I brew into a regular coffee pot at 12 ounces the first time and then I brew a second time without changing or refilling my pod at either 4 to 6 ounces making a total of oz. For me this makes a perfect cup of coffee, actually a couple cups of coffee using a large Tervis cup. I prefer a medium to strong flavor. Thank you for all the other responses that helped me figure out my own process.
Hope this helps clarify for others like myself that needed a little extra detail. Happy New Year! Dec 10, My experience by: Anonymous I found that I can brew 20oz out of mine if it all goes in one large cup. I do no recommend doing 10 then another 10 the second tastes watered down. If you do two separate cups 10 then 4 or 6 is usually better. Dec 08, Working it out. I'm going to try several of the techniques noted here. I don't like the waste of the K-cups and am trying to figure out how to extend the life of them.
I'm using the small and medium settings into one cup for a decent portion serving. I definitely am troubled by having to continually refill the water reservoir, but don't want to use tap water.
I haven't seen that issue addressed on this tread, though. Merry Christmas to everyone. Nov 10, Cups can be reused by: Anonymous If using a pod twice I get the optimal flavored by only selecting 4oz or 10oz. Many users have already commented that 20oz single use taste great so double use with only the aforementioned sizes works as well.
Nov 01, K cup by: Anonymous I get 20 oz of coffee per k cup either Keureg or other brands. They are the same except price. From the reusable cup, I grind beans fresh using one level teaspoon, one time for 10 oz cup.
Sep 22, do it by: Anonymous I drink community coffee dark roast, for those who don't know what community coffee is, it's a Louisiana coffee company with the best coffee in the world, well dark roast is strong, I use one cup to fill a 20 oz cup and it's perfect, haven't used it to do another cup, but I know for 20 oz is good.
Aug 26, How much water to use by: Anonymous Exactly how much will one k-cup pod make. Jul 10, Use the same pod 2 times by: Anonymous I never tried using the same pod twice because I think it would clog. If I did then I would only try it with the strongest coffee I know of and that is Starbucks. I think it would not affect the taste if you ran it through twice. Example being the french roast.
I would expect a good strong cup even at once on the 10 ounce portion and equally tasting on say a 6 ounce brew on the second time around. I would not attempt this with weaker blends of coffee and pods that contain less volume of coffee,as we know they do contain different volumes of coffee from one brand to the next. I make 10 ounces the first round and then reuse the same K-Pod and decrease the ounces to 4oz. It works for me every time and it tastes just as good.
Apr 28, Mo Betta Recycling by: Harley Dude I run a small coffee club in our office; I take used cups, rip off the foil, thoroughly clean and dry, re-sleeve the filter with a Melita Single Serve filter paper, fill with our preferred coffee, and cap with a square of foil snugged up around the edges.
When used, we align the previous penetration point. We re-use these re-cycled cups about two dozen times without issue. I mark the bottoms to ID each 'generation' so that there is a clear cut-off. I refill about a week's worth at a time 60 ; takes me about minutes to reload. Mar 27, Using Kuerig cups more than once by: Anonymous I've made two cups of coffee with one Keurig cup A lot depends on how big the mug is that you use. Jan 07, Do all the grounds get used in the kcup by: Kathy I have a question.
When the water flows through a Kcup do all of the grounds get used? Sep 28, I mostly drink flavored water throughout the day, so.. I use the same K-cup in the morning and throughout the day.. I don't use sugar or cream to be more healthy.. The coffee taste is much better than plain water. I used to use Mio, tea bags, and instant powders to add to water so I could get my 2 liters per day.. I'm using Gloria Jean's Hazelnut K-cups. Wet or dry either is fine just so long as they are not still hot.
Take off the foil top but save it, it doesn't matter if you rip the filter. Push seeds into the coffee and top with potting soil Pour 1 tablespoon of water every other day if it is dry. Then top with foil lid. But can you use a single-serve cup twice? According to manufacturer's directions, the technical answer is "no. In other words, if you typically use your coffee pod to make a cup on the small side, you may be able to make two.
Here is the big issue, though. Once the top of a coffee pod is punctured, the brewing machine may not recognize it again. Some people have bypassed this problem by brewing a six-ounce cup of coffee and then immediately brewing an identical one by rapidly pressing down on the machine to restart it. Depending upon the type of brewer, this may or may not work. However, your machine may not be so sensitive, so it could be worth a try to get a two-for-one boost from some of your coffee pods.
Again, you will probably have to experiment with different blends and coffee brands to see which lends itself to being double-brewed without losing flavor or body. If your biggest worry related to using a single-serve cup twice is the environment, we get it. I do use the large setting and most days only drink one cup. The best part, all the yummy flavors. Thanks for sharing!!! I also invested in the reusable k-cups not the Keurig My-K attachment.
Much simpler cleanup and no swapping back and forth between the regular attachment and the My-K-cup thingy. Anyhow, I try to use coupons and buy bags of coffee when they are on sale and then just fill the reusable k-cup as I go. That is also much less expensive even than reusing single use k-cups. Chrissy — I wonder if you could use a refillable cup more than once before you put fresh grounds in? Brock — yes.
I do that also when I re-use the regular cups as well. We also ditched the K-cups in favor of the refillable cups. K-cups just generate so much waste on top of being expensive. It was hard to justify buying them anymore. I buy whole bean coffee and just grind what I need for the day. I reuse Keurig coffee sometimes. I always rip open the top of the Keurig pods and compost the coffee the plastic is not recyclable :. It makes an excellent cup of coffee. I find I need 2 used pods to make a good cup of coffee.
I do this at work where we have the machine. Sounds like something right up my alley! Using a k cup for two 8-ounce cups of coffee makes the second extremely watered down. I LIKE weaker coffee and dont want to spend a small fortune on cups.
