How To Redeploy Your Old Keurig K Cups

Now you can reduce your purchasing of brand new k-cups for your Keurig and instead use the same kcups more than once.In the past making a good shot of espresso coffee was rather time consuming requiring a lot of effort and indeed patience. Nowdays it’s a bit easier.

In fact all you need to do is press that button on your keurig one cup coffee machine and you’re done!

In case you don’t already know – keurig machines only take k-cups, which you have to buy seperately so you’re somewhat tied in to buying their cups forever. If you’re a frequent coffee drinker you’ll be in for a higher cost per cup than if you used a standard espresso machine using regular pre-ground coffee out of a bag.

Never run out of kcups again, by using this little known method of getting your used kcup gourmet coffee cups to do double time. It’s worth mentioning that there are better ways of using your own coffee in a Keurig (My K Cups device for one), however this method, although a little messy, should get you started.

The Sloppy Method Of Reusing K Cups

1. Get a little stash of kcups together – the used ones of course.
2. Next, begin pulling off the covers completely and discard these, just leaving the plastic cup with it’s prviously used contents.You have to carefully remove the foil that covers your k cup buy using a knife or anything sharp. Just Pierce the covering then peel the cover back to the outside of your k cup.
3. Without tearing the little filter at the base of the cup, remove the old coffee. Use a tea spoon or buttter knife.
4. Remove the remaining coffee grounds by rinsing the kcups in the sink. Dry them off with a tea towel.
5. Pack the empty cups with your favourite flavored or gourmet coffee and lightly pack down with your thumb or better still something round and flat that fits the kcup cavity.
6. After this you can then cut a small round portion of tin foil and securely apply it over your reused k cups, this foil will serve as its cover.

Although you can repeat this process a few times your k cup won’t last forever.
Finally, remember that you won’t be able to use k-cups reused or not, in any other brand of coffee maker.
