NFT: Keurig question

ciggy : 7/23/2016 12:12 pm
I like the keurig for convenience but feel guilty with all of the waste from the plastic pods. I would like to start using the reusable kcup container. My question. When you grind the beans should it be at same setting as automatic drip or should it be a little more coarse? I recall grinding once as if it was automatic drip and there was too much sediment at the bottom of the cup.


Thanks for advice
Good question

I would just use a normal cheap coffee machine. Use the Kerrigan if you are making one of those fancy drinks for guests. Just my 2 cents.
Start with a medium grind and see how it works -

then adjust from there. Either a very fine or a very coarse grind probably won't work.

not sure, but think I read a while back that starting with Keurig 2.0 the system will only pods that have some kind of Keurig chip in them?

Doesn't use plastic pods. It uses paper / cloth which is recyclable.

Some Keurig 2.0s have issues with non Keurig certified cups. Simple cut off the lid of a compatible one and tape it into the unit.
Kerrigan...?
