7. Troubleshooting

7.1. Grounds in Coffee:

If you find coffee grounds in your brewed coffee, ensure the lid of the reusable filter is securely closed before brewing. Also, check that the filter is properly seated in your Keurig machine's K-cup holder.

7.2. Lid Not Closing Properly:

Ensure the filter is not overfilled with coffee grounds. Overfilling can prevent the lid from closing securely, potentially affecting brewing performance.

7.3. Weak Coffee:

Adjust the amount of coffee grounds used. For a stronger brew, add more coffee grounds, ensuring not to exceed the filter's capacity. You may also need to select a smaller brew size on your Keurig machine.
