Perfect Pod EZ-Cup Paper Filters with Lid for Reusable Coffee Pods, 150 Ct

The short story is the EZ-Cup works GREAT for people wanting to use their own coffee and save money. Don't waste your money on any non-paper reusable filters - the coffee will be weak and full of sediment without a paper filter. I considered buying a Keurig coffee maker for over a year. I was getting tired of cleaning all of the coffee pot parts and built in grinder every day; usually in the morning when I really wanted a cup of coffee - fast. I was delighted with how easy and quick the Keurig machine was. I really wanted to use my own coffee and keep my costs down, so I also purchased a reusable filter with a metal mesh type filter. I was SO disappointed. The coffee was weak and full of sediment which you can taste even before you get to the bottom of the cup. After doing some research on Amazon and taking apart a K-Cup, I discovered three things: 1.) A paper filter was the answer (the inside of a K-Cup has a paper filter), 2.) I should grind the coffee to the same consistency as the coffee in a K-Cup and 3.) Don't PACK your coffee tightly into these filters or the water may not be able to infuse the coffee properly and you may have a mess on your hands if the water can't penetrate the pod you are using. The problem with the reusable single cup filters with a metal mesh is the hot water runs through these non-paper filters too quickly and produces a very weak cup of coffee. Also, coffee ground with home grinders creates super fine particles that get through the mesh filters and into your cup. The sediment leaves a bad taste. A paper filter slows the hot water down just enough to strengthen the taste AND it filters out the sediment. I have 3 cups size settings on my Keurig. The middle 7.25 oz setting is perfect for me. The 9.25 oz is always too weak for me. Some people say coffee run through a paper filter is healthier than coffee run through a non-paper filter because it filters out bad things. I do know it tastes MUCH better. I researched all of the paper filters and decided to try the Ez-Cup and Ez-Cup filters based on reviews and because it had Amazon Prime shipping. They cost from around .10 - .125 cents each, which is great. I found it very easy and quick to make up a "pod." Fill the filter to the top with coffee, place it in the Ez-Cup plastic pod, flip the paper filter top across the top, then press the plastic lid down to seal, drop it in the machine and go. I read about one person adjusting the spring lower to get more coffee in the filter for a stronger cup of coffee. After studying the Ez-Cup for awhile, I did not see how it was possible to adjust the spring. I didn't want to ruin my new pod, so I called Ez-Cup customer service and they said I did not need to make any adjustments to get a full filter of coffee. When you place a paper filter in the Ez-Cup, about ½ of it will project above the top of the Ez-Cup. That's okay. Fill the filter all the way to the top of the paper with coffee. You can fill the filter while holding it in your hand or set it in the Ez-cup and fill it all the way to the top. (Ok to shake it to level while filling, but do not tamp it down.) I gently flick any coffee I may have gotten on the outside edges of the filter so there's no coffee between the seal, flip the paper top over, press the lid down and it will compact the filter into the cup against the spring loaded bottom and seal shut. Unlike what some other reviews said, I found it easy to press the plastic lid on. If it's new and a little tight, set it on the counter and press down with the ball of your hand. After one cup, the plastic warms up and is VERY easy to press down for a second cup. If there was a filter breakage issue in the past, there is not now. I went through 200 filters with no problem. I highly recommend the Ez-Cup and Ez-Cup filters!

These work like a dream in my Keurig, I was a little skeptical at first, but they are amazing. They fit perfectly in my Keurig with the adaptor, and no grounds ever in my cup. The clean up is so much easier, than before when I would have to wait till the grounds dried out, then rinse the adaptor multiple times to assure no grounds were left in the adaptor. I have recommended these to my friends at work, who are very picky about there coffee! I will definitely be purchasing these again!

they work well and they are better than throwing away all those plastics pods in some landfill, and you can use whatever coffee you like

Yes I like to make my own blend of coffee and the pods are very good and easy they work great!!

I love these. I can just grind my favorite coffee and no plastic for the land fill. Much less expensive than prefilled pods. The unique top flap means less mess in the coffee compartment.

Works great. Kees the pod’s coffee grounds together and easy to clean/dump. I love the lid. No grounds in the coffee.

I’ve been using these filters for several years now. I must have a cup of coffee every morning as part of my “prepare for the day” routine. I have a reusable screen filter that didn’t keep all the coffee out of my mug. Nothing nastier than a mouth full of coffee grounds! When I awake in the morning these filters summon me to the kitchen in hopes I will fill it with the most flavorful coffee in the cupboard. Once the coffee touches the filter I can hear sweet songs of sunshine. As the water rushes through the coffee contained in the majestical filter, I do a little dance to show my appreciation of the filtering process. When the coffee finally touches my tongue, I know the filter has fulfilled its duty of providing me the most amazing cup of brew!

I love these. I save a lot by using these with ground coffee and the stainless refillable pods I also bought on Amazon. The coffee is consistently good and doesn't have the residue in the bottom of the cup that often comes with perked coffee.

Highly recommend- use one a day and latest the whole year- no mess or cleanup needed!! Fast delivery and exactly what I needed- will order again

Love them disposable, work great and I use a lot

quick and accurate

Great delivery
