How do you use this product when using your own coffee. Do you just use the eco filter or the eco filter inside the cup?

The filter is the equivalent of the K cup. So, just like normal K cups it fits into the outside shell which serves as an adaptor. Your coffee goes inside the inner filter. I hope this helps!

you put the green filter into the red cup and then into the vue, it is very simple and requires little cleaning.

I have tried to use the eco filter but my machine always says not ready. With using the adapter for k-cups works fine.

Hi, I have not used my own coffee yet, but I think fill the green filter with your coffee, close the lid. Then inset into the brown filter and put in the keurig

Sarah, You would use the Eco filter inside the cup. Here is a YouTube video showing exact usage http://youtu.be/Yg-CkPYpz3s

Eco filter in the cup.The larger cup is an adapter. the filter is in leiu of a k cup. The filter is the size of a k cup. BTW all k cups are not created equal. I've opened them up out of curiosity and a desire to recylce. The better ones have a perforated disc that sits under the mesh filter to prevent poking thru the mesh bag that holds the grounds inside of a k cup. I'm guessing that's why some people have had problems with grounds migrating to places they don't belong.

You put the Eco Filter inside of the K2V Cup,(the brown one). It works exactly the same is if you were to use a normal K-Cup. You take the (brown) K2V Cup then put then Eco Filer or Kcup inside it, then just put it in the machine, all done!

When I use my own coffee I use both! the smaller one fits inside the the larger

The way I used it was to fill the little eco-filter with the coffee like I would for a K-cup and then put the filter inside the bigger cup to use in the machine. I think that if you put the coffee directly into the adaptor cup you would have a big problem with grounds in your coffee.

We don't. We just use regular filters, bulk package we actually picked up at the dollar store. My husband LOVES this coffee maker.

Hey P. Radcliffe, Ekobrew filters arrived today7/28. They work Great. Using the included Bunn measure spoon reads 2 cups per 10oz water. I put 2 Flat level full grinds into filter & closed filter lid fine. So, I know it will hold 2 spoonful, I usually make my coffee slight less than 2 spoonful & 8oz water. The beauty part is I shook the full used grinds & filter from the holder in 1 shake. Do not have to rinse holder after each cup. Just rinse holder when I am thru drinking coffee each day. TIP: used grounds + filter dropped out of holder in one try. I think it will drop out faster while still hot instead of letting the grounds dry in the holder. Enjoyed chatting with you.

Clean it right after you brew your coffee. Don't let it sit in the brewer. I have no problem clean the filter. I love my mini Mr. Coffee brewer and permanent filter!�

Susan, if your coffee is ground very fine, you might want to use the filter. I don't use, although with a different grind I might want to to avoid grounds in the coffee dispensed.

I would exchange your coffee maker! The one I have works just fine. In fact, I have to lessen the amount of coffee because it comes out too strong. --- I do use only the filter that comes with the unit.

I use the grey MyK-cup with these filters. They are a little short and actually cause more water to overflow the filter. I have to use less coffee grinds and make the smaller cup of coffee.

It really depends on your water. The more pure the water the better the coffee. If you're coffee pot didn't come with a filter you can always use your own filtered water.

I haven't tried the espresso blend - I use three of the other coffee's from this company and have never had that happen. You should not have to use a reusable filter with their cups.

From the instructions, no, you put the coffee grounds right into the grey/mesh filter. Put the grey/mesh filter into the white holder. You can buy paper filters to replace the grey/mesh, and I believe there are ones that you insert into the grey/mesh filter for easier cleaning, but it is not required.From what I've read you can also use a paper filter to help slow the brew process, and allow more water grinds contact time, to allow for a stronger cup of coffee. But it is not required, nor does it appear to be recommended.

I use only ground coffee in the filter...........hopefully someone has pod experience and can help you

I just use a regular flat bottom filter for this coffee maker. Actually, you don't even need a filter if you do not want to. I just do it because I do not want to do the extra washing. I hope I answered your question as I am not certain what a filter pod is.

I use the solo fill pod which is similar. I like using the filters for several reasons and would highly recommend them! 1. It seems to eliminate the occasional overflow. Without them, I sometimes get grounds or just plain water in my cup. 2. It is easier to clean your pod, especially if you are going to reuse it immediately (as for a second cup). Without a filter, you have to handle the hot wet grounds directly, which is messy. After using one, I let it cool or dry. I empty the grounds into a container to save using ony plants later. I put the empty paper filter in my compost. Much less waste than a kcup!

If you have purchased the disposable cup and lid, they usually come with filters, but once you use it, thee can be recycled by taking the lid off, washing them and then put the disposable filters in the empty cup, place lid back on. I have reused mine until the use is so warn that the lid will not stay on. Fill and brew is the brand of cup and lid that I purchased. I have even used the filters in the reusable fill/brew that Keurig has. These are great.

You don't have to use it. I use spring water any way to brew my coffee, and I do have a filter, but it never gets dirty. If you have lousy water, you do want to use the filter, in my other house I used tap water and the filter worked and needed to be changed about every 3-4 months.

I really don't know what you mean by a eco cup. But what comes with this is a washable filter for you to use your own coffee and if you don't want to use your coffee and whenever you can't find vue coffee at the grocery store like I had that problem. It's nice to be able to buy K cup instead. And if you don't understand just email me again.

We use two different filters. One is a large paper filter that we put the coffee in and only use that one once. The other filter fits in the bottom of the brewing container. We probably have used that one 12 times and have not replacced it. Be sure and rinse it out after each use. Just follow the instructions for its care.
