Ekobrew - Make Coffee, Not Trash

There are plenty of reasons for Keurig single serve brewer owners to buy an Ekobrew. But more than anything, the makers of Ekobrew think that making the Earth a better place to live is the best of all.

Packaging

Ekobrew could have been packaged in one of many ways. It could have been packaged in non-biodegradable plastic - but that doesn't do a lot for saving the earth. It could have been packed in a cheap, disposable cardboard box. Instead, Ekobrew reusable filters come in attractive, high quality canisters that can be used to store or carry your Ekobrew. What's more, they are 100% biodegradable.

Do you own a Keurig Single Serve Brewer? There are Plenty of Reasons to Buy an Ekobrew:

No Holster Removal - There’s no need to remove the Keurig filter holster first. Just fill the Ekobrew chamber with coffee, close the lid, place in the Keurig holster and brew. That’s it.

A Greener Alternative - It is estimated that there are over 10 million Keurig machines in households today. Those machines will brew over 5 billion cups of coffee this year alone! Each time you use Ekobrew with your Keurig brewer, there is one less plastic and foil cup to pollute the earth.

Easy to Use - The Ekobrew was designed for ease of use. Sit the flat bottom on any flat surface, lift the easy open lid and fill with your favorite drip grind coffee. Snap the lid shut and Ekobrew fits perfectly in most Keurig brewers including the mini. After brewing, lift out of the holster using the heat resistant grips without getting burned. The smooth crevices in the brew chamber make clean up quick and easy.

Save Money - Why pay more? Instead of paying more than 60¢ a cup, you can use your own coffee with Ekobrew in your Keurig and save up to 80%! By using your own coffee, you spend less depending on the price per pound. Your cost is between 10¢ and 20¢, saving you hundreds of dollars a year!

Freedom of Choice - The highest quality and best tasting coffees available today are from micro-roasters. Or maybe your tastes are simple and straightforward and you prefer a basic coffee with good value you've enjoyed for many years. Either way, you can use the coffee of your choice when you use Ekobrew with your Keurig brewer.

Freshness - Whether you buy whole bean coffee and grind at home or visit your local or online roaster and have it ground fresh, you can be sure that your coffee is the freshest possible grind.

Ekobrew Features:

1. Pre-infusion Cone allows water to gently soak the coffee before full extraction.

2. Heat Resistant Grips mean a safer and easier removal after brewing.

3. Dual Entry Points mean no removal of the Keurig filter holster.

4. Deep Brew Chamber means more water and a more complete coffee extraction.

5. Flat Bottom Design means easier, hands free filling and less waste.

6. Smooth Interior Ekobrew's smooth, rounded crevices mean quicker and easier cleaning after use.

7. High Quality Mesh allows for an optimal and consistent flow of coffee with each brew.

8. Silicone Seal Ekobrew uses a superior heat resistant o-ring seal made of silicone instead of rubber.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy! August 16, 2011

By Art History Professor

Color Name:Brown/Green| Size Name:2-Count|Amazon Verified Purchase

Length: 3:35 Mins

When I first reviewed this, I gave it four stars (I'm a hesitant five-star giver), but having now used it for two weeks, it gets the fully approved 5-star love.

[Update on 4 November 2012: I've had my two Ekobrews now for more than 15 months and I couldn't be happier. Thanks to all for the kind words about my review; I'm glad this has been helpful for most]

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great! But how does it compare to Solofill?.... Read on September 2, 2011

By D. Truong TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Color Name:Brown| Size Name:1-Count|Amazon Verified Purchase

This Ecobrew reusable Keurig K-cup is great for brewing your own coffee. It seems to have been very well designed and is easy to use. One of the things I felt bad about when I bought my Keurig coffee maker was the fact that although it was a great convenient coffee maker... it does tend to produce lots of waste when you buy the disposable k-cups. I think this product also ends up saving you lots of money in the long run too. K-cups can be quite expensive. I really love this product and I really can't find anything bad to say about it. There is another product called the Solofill that essentially does the same thing but is made from another company. I own both products and if you're curious to how they stack up against one another, check out the paragraph below. You may want to do research to make sure that your Keurig coffee maker is compatible with the EcoBrew or Solofill. I know that some K-cup coffee makers are not compatible with these products. I own the MR. Coffee single K-cup coffee maker and can say that it's compatible with both of these products. If you want to know more about the Mr. Coffee Keurig coffee maker, feel free to read my review on that as well :)

EcoBrew VS Solofill

First off, I'd like to state that I purchased both the Solofill and the Ecobrew. Both of these products are really great reusable Keurig filters that let you brew your own coffee in a Keurig coffee maker. These essentially let you make your own K-cups with your own coffee... and they're reusable! I would rate the Solofill as 4.5 Stars out of 5 and the Ecobrew as a 5 out of 5 Star Product. The Ecobrew is a bit better than the Solofill because it is easier to rinse out. The Solofill tends to collect grinds at the very bottom and it's very hard to get the few last grinds out.... The Ecobrew also fits better in my Mr Coffee single cup K-cup brewer. The Ecobrew seems to have a slightly larger capacity for coffee grinds too, which may mean it's capable of brewing slightly stronger coffee. And lastly, the Ecobrew has a flat bottom that can sit on a counter top by itself. This makes it much easier to fill than the Solofill. With the Solofill, it couldn't be balanced on a table-top so I had to cut out the bottom of a small dixie cup to make my own "stand" in order to fill it properly. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars This filter works PERFECT! August 9, 2011

By J. Goldman

Color Name:Brown| Size Name:1-Count|Amazon Verified Purchase

Seriously, I love my Keurig. I love the convenience and the coffees. But what I don't love is buying $50 dollars worth of coffee every month. I tried the filter that Keurig gave me with my Platinum B70 model and it made my awesome Guatemalan Coffee I used to brew the "old fashion way" into a watered down mess no matter how fine I ground the bean or how much I reduced the cup size.

I was skeptical about buying another kcup filter when I saw this offered on Amazon, but the video add on the ekobrew website had me sold. I bought the ekobrew Cup before it was available for sale with high hopes, and it has totally lived up to my expectations! My freshly ground coffee tastes better than any Kcup I have ever had! I forgot how good some of the beans I bought were. No Joke. If you are like me and have a few roasts of beans you just love and don't feel like breaking the bank trying every kcup under the sun to find blends that please you then get it. You won't be sorry.

The only negative part is you have to rinse it out but that is no big deal. Just pop the top and tap it on the sink and the grinds come out then rinse. No scrubbing or anything. I may buy another to have one handy to fill while the other is brewing since I make about 3 Kcups worth of coffee in the morning to fill for two travel mugs for the wife and I. THANK YOU ekobrew!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ekobrew Washer Hack November 29, 2011

By Gregg

Color Name:Brown/Green| Size Name:2-Count|Amazon Verified Purchase

When first ordering a couple of ekobrew cups, I had high hopes that they would make my recent hand-me-down Keurig B44 a viable alternative to my Cuisinart drip machine. But, my hopes were quickly dashed upon first use. The second cup wasn't much better. Third time's a charm, right? Wrong. Things were just not good.

I experienced many of the same problems that are mentioned in other reviews: leaky, messy brew, and weak coffee. I was pretty disappointed in the prospects of my new Keurig adventure, but was also determined to make this work and, after some experimentation, I did. The solution is a tiny washer.

If you look inside the upper clamshell of your Keurig machine, you'll see the injector needle that punctures the top of standard k-cups. Around this needle is a gasket that presses against the top of k-cups to form a seal. This gasket is the problem. It does not put enough pressure on the cap of the ekobrew to form an adequate seal, causing water and coffee to spew out from the cap. To fix this, slide the gasket down and off of the injector needle (use caution as the needle is sharp), slide a washer up onto the needle, then slide the gasket back on. Your leaky, messy brew should now be a thing of the past.

The washer hack also made my coffee noticeably stronger, but additional solutions may be required to satisfy your desired strength. Prior to putting in the washer, I began tamping the coffee in the ekobrew cup. That helped, and I still continue to tamp even after the installation of the washer.

The washer I used is rubber, 1/16" thick, 5/32" inside diameter, and 3/8" outside diameter. Specifically, I used a washer from Lowes with item number 136493.
