is the reuseable k-cup kit required for best results with the k-cup filter baskets? what is the k-cup kit?

Yes, the k cup kit is absolutely required. It comes with a holder, filter basket and lid -- without the lid, the machine will spill coffee beans and hot water everywhere. Just look up "my k cup" on Amazon -- it will probably be the first item that comes up.

You need the filter holder and cap which fit into the Keurig instead of the unit where you would put a regular k-cup. Amazon may sell these separately. We got ours by buying the My K-cup Replacement Coffee Filter Set. We have multiple coffee drinkers in the house so multiple filters get good use!

you can use the Keurig kit or get one here of the generic....the kit is like the original holder of a k-cup but it is the part you place the filter in, like the old school Mr. Coffee basket

I bought a "standard" size 4 gold filter from Bed Bath Beyond and it just barely fits into the existing brewer basket (where the paper filter would sit). I tried using the gold filter with the existing brewer basket AND without using the removable brewing basket. Without the basket, the coffee drains faster and doesn't steep as long, so could effect coffee taste.

Yes. I have purchased a reuseable k-cup coffee holder. I am not sure what the actual name is for it. I got it at my local grocery store for around $10. It works great!

Yes you do. It is a removable basket that "holds" your filter. Without a filter you would have a very messy and chunky pot of coffee. I use the "Pure Brew" brand for a 4-cup coffee maker. They are very inexpensive at Walmart and work great!

Yes, and it worked just fine. However, I used an Ekobrew Reuseable K Cup Filter. I only used it because I already had a Keurig, and it saves time in a pinch. When I have the time, I much prefer using my AeroPress.

This filter is made to fit into the re-fillable unit that is used in place of the K-cup holder. If you don't have the re-fillable unit, you shouldn't be using the filters with the K-cup holder.

Brew any coffee you want with single-cup convenience! Simply use your own gourmet ground coffee in your Keurig® K-Cup® System with the MY K-CUP® reusable filter. Filter basket, filter holder and lid are included. The MY K-CUP® is compatible with all Keurig® K-Cup® brewers except OfficePRO™, B155, and all other commercial brewers. It is not compatible with the Vue® System or the Rivo™ System. I also want to say, I like my coffee a little on the strong side. Coffee seemed to be a little weak using this. Hope I was a help.

You have to use K-Cup style in order to fit in the machine however many brands of coffee offer the K-Cup format. The coffee maker comes with a reusable K-Cup that can be filled with your favorite coffee if your brand doesn't have K-Cups or you want to save money.

This is not a reusable filter/kcup it is just the holder for the filter/kcup.You will need something like the solofil or other brand reusable filter/kcup. If you need this part call Keurig direct and they will replace for free.

I have the B70 model and not sure if they use the same accessories. The " my k cup" accessorie. Its the basket and filter. Do NOT buy aftermarket(non keurig/generic). I went that route and was quite disappointed several times. Even if it says it fits the Keurig. If its not made by keurig, don't waste your money. I love using the basket set up.Best thing to do is call keurig customer service.

I'm not sure what your asking. These pods are not meant to be reused. You would have to buy a reusable filter which is made by a number of companies and sold here on Amazon. Just do a search for reusable k kup flilters.

You put the Eco Filter inside of the K2V Cup,(the brown one). It works exactly the same is if you were to use a normal K-Cup. You take the (brown) K2V Cup then put then Eco Filer or Kcup inside it, then just put it in the machine, all done!

yes sir you sure can if you have a kuerig filter replacement ot a k cup with a seal for it on line here. i bought the holder and five refill baskets and use my own brand of coffee . You can make it as strong or as weak as you like it.

I use paper filters with the basket because if you didn't the coffee grounds would pour through with the coffee. I prefer not to drink the grounds! :)

No everything you need is in the box. However if you wish to use your special coffee you will need to buy a filter basket that allows you to use your own favorite coffee grinds. I highly recommend this coffee maker.

The filter is one piece of the system used in the Keurig coffee maker. When you buy the system, just be certain that it works with the appropriate Keurig model. The whole "system" can be found here... Keurig My K-Cup Replacement Coffee Filter Set fits B30 B40 B50 B60 B70 series

A filter and a filter basket are separate things. The filter basket is what you put the filter of your choice into. It is nice that it is removable so you don't have to handle a soggy filter and you can clean the basket itself when it develops coffee build up. But the basket is NOT the filter. Speaking of the filter, I did switch from paper filters to using a reusable basket type filter a few years ago. I do really like them. But whatever filter you use it is separate from what is included in buying a coffee machine.
