About ekobrew
Eko Brands, LLC, a Seattle based company, began their mission to provide an ecologically responsible and less expensive solution when they introduced the Ekobrew in early 2011.
Single serve coffee is the fastest growing segment in the North American coffee market today. The Keurig single cup brewing system utilizes small disposable plastic and foil cups called "K-Cups" that hold ground coffee for brewing each cup.
Now there is an alternative that is greener, less expensive and provides far more choices - the Ekobrew Reusable Filter for Keurig single cup coffee maker.

Tips
- Find your unique fill line
Just because there is a maximum fill line on the Ekobrew does not mean that you should necessarily fill it to that line. That line is meant to accommodate the maximum amount, such as making a robust cup of coffee or a larger quantity cup of coffee.
- A Fine Grind
A finer coffee grind will allow water to pass through at a slower rate. This gives you the option for a longer extraction or a bolder taste. However, if the grind is too fine, this will result in the bogging down of the flow rate and, in some cases, will cause a back flow in your machine causing it to shut down.
- A Coarse Grind
A courser grind will allow the water to pass through the coffee faster but may not exploit the coffee grounds to the fullest extent. This gives you the option for a quicker or milder cup of coffee.

Excellent item - and thank God it exists

This work quite well. Make sure you use coffee of an appropriate grind (electric drip grind works well) - if too fine, it will clog up and overflow, very messily. The common blade-type grinder a lot of people use at home does NOT do a good job for this purpose, as it's very hard to get a consistent grind of the right size with those - you're better off buying your coffee ground, unless you have a burr grinder at home.
Frankly, I wish there were no need for this product - the fact that those Keurig-type coffee makers exist at all is an outrage against the earth - along with all the other senseless waste that seems to keep getting worse and worse. But given that we need to cope with that situation until people wake up, thank God it's at least *possible* to get a re-usable container for them.
