Reviewers say it’s a “game-changer” for elevating the home coffee experience.

While it isn’t a new invention, the reusable K-cup coffee pod is an ingenious, affordable and often overlooked tool that lets you use any coffee you want in your single-cup or pod-based coffee maker. With many reviews calling it a “game-changer,” it’s an easy way to elevate your home coffee experience. While Keurig is the big name in this game, there are also reusable pods that work with machines from other brands including Mr. Coffee and Cuisinart.

Simply fill the pod with the ground beans of your choice, pop the top on and insert it into your machine to have a fresh hot cup of coffee featuring your favorite roasts. These capsules are also totally reusable, saving you money and limiting your consumption of one-use plastics. 

Turn your Keurig or other single-cup coffee maker into a totally customized, lower-impact home café and enjoy using your favorite beans from your local coffee shops at home with this simple tool. 

If you have a K-Duo, you have options: a pot of ground coffee or a single-serve pod. The problem is, the pot portion uses paper filters like a traditional coffee maker, thus causing more waste alongside those plastic pods. Never buy a filter (or single-use K-cup) again. Instead, opt for this reusable coffee filter pack. It comes with a mesh filter that fits the coffee carafe of a K-Duo or K-Duo Essentials machine perfectly, and when you're done, just rinse it clean.

Again, the biggest issue with Keurig machines is the waste that they create with single-use plastics. Curb the need to toss your coffee pods into a landfill with this reusable K-cup pack instead. This three-pack is a universal pod that works with the K-Duo, K-Classic, K-Elite, K-Select and K-Cafe coffee brewers. Plus, it comes with a nifty scoop so you know exactly how much ground coffee to load into each cup. These cups are dishwasher-safe, too!

Get the trio from Amazon for $15.95 (also available as a four-pack).

With 360-degree perforation, these stainless steel reusable coffee pods allow water to reach all of the coffee grounds giving you maximum extractions. The stainless steel helps keep all the natural oils and flavors intact on the beans and it's dishwasher-friendly. These pods are compatible with a number of Keurig machines as well as Mr. Coffee makers. (Check the chart on the product page before purchasing to ensure this will work for your machine.)
