Sears Carrying K-Cups and Keurig Brewers Galore

Posted by CoffeeFan on March 3, 2011 0 comments

We stopped by our local sears to pick up a small 5.1 cubic freezer, and what did we find? Tons of K-Cups and Keurig brewers. They had piles of the Keurig Elite B40 Brewer, and the Keurig Special Edition Ultra Elite B60. It’s nice to see a retailer like Sears also take a little time to present the brewers and K-Cups with a little flair.

Review: Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers

Posted by CoffeeFan on February 14, 2011 0 comments

Review Single Serve Coffee

The Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers is like the My K-Cup reusable filter or EZ Cup that allows you to use your own coffee instead of using just K-Cups. Using the Solofill is really easy, because unlike the My K-Cup reusable coffee filter, you do not have to take out the brew sleeve in your Keurig brewer. Like a K-Cup the Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers fits in the brew slot where you’d normally put a K-Cup.

Key Features of the Solofill Cup:

No need to remove or swap out the filter holder.No filter to replace!Reusable – Environmentally friendly.Save money while reducing our environmental impact!Use your own favorite gourmet coffee.Easy to use – Simple 2 steps process.Innovative Octaflo-Plus hot water distribution system for a superior tasting cup of gourmet coffee.Easy clean up – Unique one piece design with integrated hinged lid and stainless steel micro mesh filter for easy clean-up.Brewing a Cup of Coffee with the Solofill Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter

We’ve been using the Solofill over the past 3 weeks, and right away we found the Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers is easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee. We also really liked hot easy the flip top-lid was to open and close, along with it being attached. No more lost lids, and the color being red is also excellent as we didn’t throw it away because we were used to throwing away K-cups.

Brewing a cup of coffee using your Keurig brewer was very easy. You simply open the flip top of the Solofill, fill with your favorite coffee, close the lid, and put it in the Keurig brewer K-Cup slot. The lid is self tamping, so all you need to do is close it and you’re good to go. Next you’ll have a pretty amazing cup of coffee using your own coffee.

Before filling you have an empty brew sleeve. 41YMlsMtPjL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Fill with your favorite coffee. We’d use our own shot but taking
a picture with two hands filled is challenging.

Insert into the Keurig brewer K-Cup slot.

Brew and enjoy your cup of Solofill filtered coffee.

We found different grinds to produce better results – the finer grinds tended to work the best with the darker roasts. We settled in a on a French Roast from our local Whole Foods and found the coffee tasted amazing. We did a side by side comparison using our Aeropress, and found the coffee to be on par with the Aeropress coming out ahead.

The Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers has an “octoflow” path that the water flows over the beans. The extraction is produces is excellent, even resulting in a little coffee froth at the end (not froth or crema but good stuff). We also found after brewing clean up was a breeze. Simply pop open the top, and wash out the grinds.

Trying Coffee Pods in the Solofill Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter

We did try puncturing a coffee pod and using it in the Solofill. Results were mixed but dumping out the contents of a coffee pod did produce good results, however this defeats the purpose. If you’re going to attempt to use a coffee pod stick in the 7-9gram range and puncture it at the top so the water can brew through. As with everything you try – try again and you’ll get better results as you figure out what works with the pods you have. The Solofill however is made to work with ground coffee, not punctured coffee pods but it was worth a try.

Conclusions

We really love this little gadget for our Keurig brewer. Like the My K-Cup Reusable Filter, and the EZ Cup it allows you to use either ground coffee or coffee pods in your Keurig brewer. We think if you like having a little experimentation in your single serve coffee life, then you’ll enjoy the Solofill Refillable Single Serve Coffee filter.

Thanks again to Robert from Solofill for sending us the Solofill to review.

I’ve found the Solofill to be far superior to the MyKCup – less hassle since you don’t have to remove the insert and screw around with a separate filter basket. It’s superior to the E-Z cup too – with the cost of the E-Z Cup filters, you might as well buy the regular K-Cups. Solofill is nice if the flavour doesn’t exist in a K-cup or you have extra time. From a time standpoint, or if you’re pumping out multiple cups for a crowd, processed K-Cups are still the most convenient. Then again, if the price keeps creeping up, you’ve got an awesome second option with the Solofill.
Posted by: Purcell at December 10, 2010 1:11 PM Will this also work in the Cusinart SS770?
Posted by: Geoffrey Chambers at December 12, 2010 11:15 AM Your picture shows the Cuisinart Brewer using this SoloFill, but both Amazon’s page and the SoloFill site say that this is not compatible w/ the Cuisinart. I had this ordered from Amazon but cancelled the order because I was afraid it wasn’t going to work in our machine? Can you confirm it does work with the Cuisinart?
Posted by: Rebecca at December 12, 2010 1:53 PM I am using the solofill without any problems in my cuisinart brewer. Not sure which model my brewer is, but it looks just like the one in the photograph and was purchased from costco last month.
Posted by: Jon Clayton at December 16, 2010 8:45 AM K-cups are punctured on their bottom by the coffee machine. How does this not damage the coffee maker. What happens to the bottom spike when this is put in the machine.
Posted by: Donna at December 18, 2010 12:39 AM I received both a Cuisinart SS770 Brewing System and a SoloFill Cup for Christmas and I love them both! I was experimenting and used the SoloFill to brew iced tea using Lipton tea bags. I cut open and emptied out the contents of the bags into the SoloFill cup. It worked perfectly! The only issue I have (and this is probably why SoloFill does not specifically list the cups as compatible with Cuisinart SS770s) is that the head of the machine does not close/lower fully. The machine thinks that the head is closed though, as the screen reads “Ready”. I checked the fit to make sure that it is not putting any stress on the top or bottom needles, as I was afraid of damaging them, but I really don’t think the SoloFill is coming into contact with either of them. I think what is preventing the head from closing all the way is that diameter of the hole in the top of the SoloFill cup is not large enough to accommodate the diameter of the rubbery gasket around the upper needle of the machine.
Posted by: Laura at December 26, 2010 5:16 PM Looking forward to receiving one of these, as Keurig’s own MyKCup was a complete disaster and I have returned mine. I should not have to jerryrig the KCup as your other readers have suggested elsewhere.
Posted by: LAprGuy at December 28, 2010 12:51 PM Tried to order one direct from their webpage and it was out of stock until 1/3. Ordered from Amazon and it won’t arrive until 1/31-2/6. Whoever is producing these needs a larger operation. High demand and no supply. I can go buy a “my k-cup” at any BB and B or Best Buy today. All that said, there must be a reason why they’re selling out and this is the only product of it’s type I’ve seen with all positive reviews and no catastrophic defects.

Brewing your own coffee at home rather buying it at a local coffee shop can be an effective way to save money. The problem with this technique for many people is that they find it inconvenient or difficult to make their own morning brew. For folks who have always purchased their daily coffee from Starbucks, it can be a difficult transition to go from what they consider the best to something they see as lower quality. In many cases, the coffee maker is to blame for the difficulties people deal with when making coffee at home. Choosing the right appliance can guarantee that you will be able to make delicious, satisfying coffee at home without any problems.

The first thing you need to decide when you are in the market for a new coffee maker is what size you will need. If you don’t drink a lot of coffee, just one or two cups per day, or if you only enjoy it on special occasions, then you should buy a small one or two cup machine. For those who drink coffee constantly, or if there are multiple coffee drinkers in the home, go with a larger machine.

Next, you will need to set a firm budget. Having a target price in mind can help to greatly narrow down the quantity of options available to you when you are shopping.

After you have decided on a size and budget, consider which options you want in your ideal machine. One main feature to think about is whether or not you want a fully automatic machine. Makers range from opulent models that can grind fresh beans, brew on a timer, and even change the strength of the brew, down to simple hand operated french presses.

Automatic makers can also be found with a wide array of different features. The features that you will need mostly depend on the type of coffee beverages you like to drink. For those who prefer to just drink plain brew, a traditional automatic drip machine is likely all that is needed. If you prefer elaborate espresso based beverages such as a latte, you will want to buy a coffee machine that comes with additional features such as amilk frother. The more attachments, features, and options you add to a machine the more expensive it will get, so be sure you go with only the features you will use often.

Finally, be sure to shop around to find the best price once you find the coffee maker that fits your needs. It can be beneficial to browse user reviews to find out which models real people actually like. If possible, pick a model that comes with a good manufacturer warranty just in case you ever have problems with the machine.

Finally, if you are looking for that perfect coffee experience at home, you might want to consider a Keurig single serving brewer. Keurig machines use single serving pods called k cups to brew the perfect cup of coffee every time.
