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:

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.

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: 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.

I reckon that you may have read it often before: coffee just isn’t healthy and you ought to consume it moderately. Very well, anything isn’t that bad it’s not good for absolutely nothing, right? Thus here are some justifications for us that just simply give in to taking pleasure in a pleasant cup of coffee.

Coffee is among the most in-demand drinks globally additionally, the coffee beans are the second largest trading product all over the world. Coffee, as everyone knows, includes caffeine which is a substance that are known for getting us a little bit boost or ‘kick’. The particular coffee beans contain several chemical compounds that have an impact on our body. A lot of them provides moderate phsycotropics affect and is in reality a defense substance for the coffee plant. In addition, caffeine researchers have additionally found another substance which enable you body make more adrenaline and cortisone.

An investigation completed in Finland demonstrates at consumption of 3 to 6 cups of coffee on a daily basis reduces the chance of diabetes with about 25 %. Several other research has also proven that coffee lower the chance of diabetes type 2.

Studies have also revealed that reasonable drinking of coffee decreases the chance of Alzheimer and dementia. Harvard School of Health likewise did a survey that established that coffee as well diminished the chance of gallbladder illness and gallstone. It’s also confirmed that you’ve much less possibility getting Parkinson’s condition because it’s confirmed that people with high intake of coffee has a smaller amount risk of having this illness.

According to Iowa women’s health research claims that coffee with a drinking of four to five cups of coffee each day can lessen the chance of heart attack. On the other hand, various other numerous studies have not noticed just about any connection with drinking coffee and decrease the chance of heart attack.

It is also established that coffee will increase your mental performance. Researchers have tested response time, time in decision making, tests associated with visual understanding of spatial relationships between objects.

Now, before you begin drink a lot of coffee there are safety measures you need to understand. Normal coffee or decaffeinated coffee has a relaxing effect on the muscle mass that can stop acid going up in your throat. So if you experience acid reflux or reflux illness you ought to be cautious. It is research that it’s unnecessary to totally avoid coffee for pregnant women. However, it’s recommended to restrict drinking coffee till more studies can offer proof of the outcomes for the baby.

So, taking pleasure in a cupful of coffee occasionally seriously isn’t as bad as most people consider. Even so, keep your intake in reasonable use. I mentioned the benefits here, but that doesn’t imply you now can go wild and consume coffee constantly. A great balance in drinking coffee continue to implement.
