Review on ☕️ Simple Cups: 100 Compatible Keurig Brewer Replacement Filters - Use Your Own Coffee - Easy Disposal by Lora Schnabel

I have a reusable plastic EZ Cup (brand name) that uses paper filters with attached lids. I bought these filters knowing they didn't have caps because they cost half the price (hooray!) of the small valve filters and I figured out beforehand how to fix that little bug. After reading the reviews here I saw some complaints about these filters not having paper tops. So if you have a reusable mug that needs these lids and have a few minutes to spare, read on to find out what I stand for. do to solve this problem. If you don't care about the cost and don't want to bother with a quick DIY project, then just buy the more expensive ones with the lid already attached and get started. For those who have about 5 minutes of free time and a spirit of adventure, here's what to do: 1. Buy coffee filters in the form of a basket. (I already had a pack of these for my Mr. Coffee machine, which I only take to a party a few times a year, so they were mostly free.) When you have nothing lying around in the kitchen, you feel useless and unloved , just buy a pack the next time you go to the supermarket - the stores are cheap and you're still ahead of the pack. Draw a small 2 ¼ inch round circle on a piece of cardboard and cut it out to use as a template. (I actually used one of the EZ Cup filter caps as a template, but if you don't have one, just use the plastic EZ Cup cap as a guide and circle it about 1/8 inch from the edge.) This is a one-time step , if you manage not to lose him. I keep mine handy with the lids I made.3. Place one of the paper filters in a basket on a counter or table and use a pencil to draw the circular pattern on the paper. You can place 7 on the outer edge and 1 in the middle.4. Fold 5 more flat filters (6 total) under the one you drew the circles on, keeping all edges even. (I suppose you could add more but I found 6 very easy to cut) 5. Take your scissors again and roughly cut one of the outer circles from OUTSIDE the pencil line. Then cut it out along the drawn line. (It's easier than trying to hold the whole pack while you cut out each circle.) Repeat the same for the remaining circles. For each circle you cut out you will have 6 caps. When finished you will have 48 adorable caps. When brewing a cup of coffee, simply center the paper lid on the coffee-filled filter and snap the plastic lid open. I used a stopwatch and steps 3 through 5 only took 5 minutes and 15 seconds. It was fun, wasn't it? ?! You probably wish it didn't end so soon. Well, do it again! And if you have kids old enough for it, get them in on the fun, too. In no time you'll have more caps than you know what to do with! As for the quality of the plain cups, I found them to work well - along with my little paper lids. I can't infuse "quite" as much coffee as the more expensive EZ Cup filters, but I haven't noticed any noticeable reduction in the quality or strength of my cup of coffee. I've used about 50 or 60 so far, and while they do expand during the brewing process (as they should when water flows through them), I haven't had a single breakout (as some other reviewers have noted). I will buy them again because they work and I love carving lids!
