Review: ECS Coffee Single Cup Fresh Seals

Review Single Serve CoffeeReviewecscoffeesinglecupfreshsealsIMGP5174

With Keurig's K-Cup patent having expired, a multitude of soft-bottomed One Cup flavors have been released within the past year. When the first One Cup company (Rogers Family Coffee) started releasing their products, they came packaged within a non-resealable plastic bag inside a cardboard box for outer packaging. The main problem that quickly arose once you'd open the bag would be two-fold... the coffee aromas were so strong, that they'd permeate through the box and into whatever surrounding items you had nearby + you'd quickly lose freshness in the ground coffee since the filter provided no oxygen barrier whatsoever and left the grinds exposed to the elements.

ReviewecscoffeesinglecupfreshsealsIMGP5176

Other companies (Club Coffee, Melitta) tried resolving this issue with some success by creating cookie bag style foil packaging that had bendable tabs near the top of the bag which allowed you to roll the bag up and secure the tabs in order to prevent the bag from opening again. This still resulted in another problem since it meant you had to keep the entire bag nearby if you wanted to use that particular brand/flavor. Not an ideal solution if you aren't a frequent coffee drinker or like to drink a different flavor on a regular basis.

Review: Solofill Cup V1 Gold Vue Pack Filter

Review Single Serve CoffeeReviewsolofillcupv1goldvuepackfilterIMGP5272

After the first Keurig Vue brewer was released, the first thing most people kept wondering was whether or not Keurig would manufacturer a My Vue Pack re-usable filter for it. We heard rumors that Keurig were in fact working on just such an item, but we could never confirm if this was actually the case and we have yet to see anything materialize on Keurig's website nor anywhere on the market. When Solofill realized there was a demand for a re-usable filter, they decided to make the boffins in their R&D department design the first Solofill filter for Vue brewers and hence the item we're reviewing today... the Solofill Cup V1 Gold Vue Pack Filter.

Reviewsolofillcupv1goldvuepackfilterIMGP5278

The filter is the size of a travel mug Vue Pack and is made up of 2 components... the outer plastic shell and an inner filter basket which is completely removable. The plastic shell has a hole in the center of the lid for the intake needle and a hole near the bottom of the shell's spout for the output needle. The design/shape of the Vue system's brew chamber ensures that the filter will be inserted properly each time and again, there's no need to disassemble anything... just fill the filter with coffee, pop it in the brewer like any other Vue Pack and you're good to go. The one major difference is obviously the customization factor of the Vue brewer. You will need to experiment to see which settings on the machine produce the best results.

Review: Solofill Cup K3 Chrome K-Cup Filter

Review Single Serve CoffeeReviewsolofillcupk3chromekcupfilterIMGP5233

Back when Keurig first introduced their K-Cup brewers, one of the first accessories to get introduced was the My K-Cup filter. It consisted of a steel mesh filter housed inside a plastic assembly that fit inside the brew chamber once you had removed the lower assembly that contained the bottom piercing needle and was created with the sole purpose of letting users use their own ground coffee instead of having to buy pre-packaged K-Cups should their favorite flavor not be available in K-Cup format. There were many issues that most users encountered with the first generation models which ranged from poor extraction to clogged filters and leaking coffee grinds being dumped into the bottom of their mugs.

Reviewsolofillcupk3chromekcupfilterIMGP5225

We're not sure if the latest generation of My K-Cup filters have solved those issues since we were among the majority who decided to wait things out and see what the competition had to offer. Many 3rd-party companies tried various attempts and creating their own filters over the years but the one which stood out as being the best designed with best overall performance was the Solofill K-Cup filter. It was an all-in-one filter that had a rubber gasket around the lid which solved the coffee grind overflow problem (or so we thought) and the mesh filter was molded right into the outer plastic. The size was similar to a K-Cup which meant you didn't need to go through the extra hassle of taking apart your brewer's brew chamber... just fill the Solofill and pop it in like any other K-Cup. We've included a photo of this 1st-generation model for comparison.

KUZZLES - The Modular K-Cup Storage System

SmallFilledDrawer

We just heard about KUZZLES - a modular K-Cup storage system for your kitchen drawers and we're intrigued. How do they work? Two dozen Kuzzles come in a package. You simply figure out how many your drawer will hold and start fitting them together. They work like any other puzzle you have assembled. It doesn’t matter what size drawer you want to use, Kuzzles will give you a neat, organized way to store your K-Cups.

We'll see if we can get some KUZZLES to review. We think if you aren't willing to part with a drawer, these would also make a great start on creating your own customized cabinet - etc. using KUZZLES as the holding mechanism for your design.

852932003150 2 gif

The Solofill Cup V1 Gold - Refillable Filter Cup for Keurig Vue Brewers  is now available. We were wondering when we'd see a reusable filter for the Keurig VUE systems, and here it is. The Solofill will work with any ground coffee, and it allows you to save money while reducing your environmental impact even though VUE packs are recyclable. Check out our review of the Solofill for K-Cup brewers. The experience should be the same, and there are several videos showing the process. One video is from Coffee Titan, and there's video from Coffee Outlaw showing the entire process.

PowerCup - The Coffee Cup Power Inverter for Your Car

coffeecuppowerinverter.jpg

If only the single serve coffee we drink every morning could also charge our iPhone, iPad, and various other electronics in the car while we travel. Wait a second - we think we may have found the solution. The PowerCup power inverter provides 200 Watt Continuous power and provides 120V AC power from any auto 12V power socket. It has 1 AC socket and 1 USB port. We knew coffee had power - but this much power is overwhelming!
