Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Keurig My K-Cup universal reusable filter is designed to allow users to brew their preferred ground coffee using a Keurig K-Cup coffee maker. This filter provides an alternative to pre-filled K-Cup pods, expanding the variety of coffee options available.

Compatibility

The Keurig My K-Cup Universal Reusable Filter is compatible with the following Keurig K-Cup devices:

• Keurig Brewers: K-Mini, K-Mini Plus, K-Compact Brewer, K-Classic Brewer, K-Select Brewer, K-Elite Brewer, K-Latte Brewer, K-Cafe Brewer
• Keurig Plus Series Brewers: K200/250, K425/47, K525/575

Note: For some smaller Keurig models, it may be necessary to remove the larger outer plastic part of the brewer's K-Cup holder before inserting the My K-Cup filter. Refer to your specific brewer's manual for details on removing the existing K-Cup holder.

Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the My K-Cup Reusable Filter from its packaging.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all components of the filter (filter basket, lid, and holder) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry, or dry with a clean cloth. The filter is also top-rack dishwasher safe.
3. Prepare Brewer: If your Keurig brewer has a removable K-Cup holder, gently remove it. This typically involves lifting the handle and pulling the holder straight up.
4. Assemble Filter: Ensure the filter basket is securely seated within the outer holder.

Operating Instructions

1. Open Lid: Open the lid of the My K-Cup Reusable Filter.
2. Add Ground Coffee: Fill the filter basket with your desired amount of ground coffee. The filter has two internal fill lines:
   • The lower fill line is for standard cup sizes.
   • The upper fill line is for travel mug sizes or stronger brews.

   Recommendation: Use a medium grind coffee, similar to that used for a French press. Fine grinds (like espresso grind) may cause clogging and overflow.
3. Close Lid: Close the lid of the My K-Cup filter firmly. Ensure it clicks into place. Some users find aligning a small notch on the filter with a corresponding point on the lid, then twisting slightly, helps secure it.
4. Insert into Brewer: Place the filled My K-Cup Reusable Filter into the K-Cup holder area of your Keurig coffee maker. Ensure it is seated correctly.
5. Brew Coffee: Close the brewer handle and select your desired brew size. Initiate the brewing cycle as you normally would with a standard K-Cup pod.
6. Remove After Brewing: After brewing is complete, carefully open the brewer handle and remove the hot My K-Cup filter. Allow it to cool before handling or cleaning.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Filter.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, discard used coffee grounds. Rinse the filter basket, lid, and holder under running water.
• Dishwasher Safe: The My K-Cup Reusable Filter is dishwasher safe. Place all components on the top rack of your dishwasher for thorough cleaning.
• Deep Cleaning: Periodically, you may wish to soak the filter components in a solution of warm water and white vinegar (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water) for 30 minutes to remove any coffee residue or mineral buildup. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
• Drying: Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling or storing.
