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

I have several concerns about the solo cup. I have a Keurig Vue coffee maker.

1. How much caffeine is included in a solo cup for the vue, if I use the 8 or 16 ounce serving?

2. When I mentioned to Keurig that I was using the solo cup, they advised me to immediately discontinue using the solo cup because Keurig advised that they MAY NOT honor the warranty for the machine if the need should arise.

I have written solo cup with these concerns. Despite their stated 24 hour turn a round on e mail requests, It has been over a month since I have heard anything from solo cup.

Also, found nothing on internet that addresses how much caffeine is in an 8 or 16 ounce serving of a solo cup for the Keurig vue coffee maker.

I grind my own beans and not ye been able to eliminate the oily residue in the cup what is the ideal grind to minimize the problem.

I have a My KCup, an EZ cup (which requires filters) and the Solofill. The Solofill is by far my favorite!!! It makes a much better cup of coffee than the other 2. The My KCup is my least favorite. I do use the EZ cup to make hot tea, I just roll up a tagless tea bag and put it in the ezcup.

But I always use my solofill for my coffee!

Excellent item. Yes it works with the Cuisinart brewer as that is what I have. It doesn't connect with the spike as the shape of the solofill is different. It has a central protrusion at the bottom which means the bottom of the solofill avoids the spike.
Works perfectly - don't overfill it - especially important if you are using freshly ground coffee. Saves a lot of money and more importantly - less landfill! A little pricey maybe, but definitely good value in the long run.

Ordered my Solofill cups from the manufacturer. Ordered two in order to get the free shipping. They arrived in about three days. I've had a chance to use them, and there is no doubt they work better then the My-K-Kups. That being said the My-K-Kups are engineering disasters so it doesn't take much to be better then the My-K-Kup. The first thing I noticed when I used the Solofill cup was that the gurgling sound disappeared. Backpressure that makes the water squirt out of the top of a My-K-Kup is almost eliminated. Things I don't like about the Solofill is nub at the bottom which prevents it from sitting flat on a counter top. That nub also makes it difficult to clean out after using it. I think the fit of the cap could be a little more snug as well. After you've made your cup of coffee you'll also probably find more then a bit of sludge in the bottom of your cup. I have yet to resolve this through grind size. My biggest complaint though is why does it cost so damn much? If it were a third of it's price it would be a great value. At anywhere from 15.00 to 17.00 it's not such a great buy.

I want to make a 12 ounce, or even 16 ounce cup at one time, maybe pressing 8 oz twice, with same coffee, and am looking for a brand of coffee, and reusable filter system which allows enough coffee to get this quantity without being watery.

what is the recommended amount of coffee used, and what is the maximum amount of ground coffee i can use in your product? Thank you. All suggestions are welcome

Received mine the other day, ordered directly from the manufacturers site. Decent little utility that will save me money in the long run.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Will this also work in the Cusinart SS770?

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.
