Materials you will need:nn- used K cupsn- heavy duty aluminum foiln- a small brush to clean the used K cup filtern- ground coffee of your choice. Do not grind too fine as you will get too much oil from the beans. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being coarse and 10 being fine, I grind at about 8.nnHereu2019s how it works:nn1. Using a pointed knife, cut the top off of the old K cup being careful not to insert the tip too far (this could pierce the filter). Just start the cut and peel off the foil top. (see pic 1 upper left corner)nn2. Discard the coffee grounds in the K cup.nn3. Wash your Kcup with warm water using the sink spray to get as much coffee out as possible. Depending on what was in the K cup you may have to use your brush to gently clean out any small grounds from the filter folds. The filter is surprisingly strong, so donu2019t be afraid to get as much gook out as possible. You can even swish the K cup through some soapy dishwater to help – just be sure to rinse well.nn4. Drain upside down until dry.nn5. Cut circles from aluminum foil about a quarter inch larger than the top of the K cup. To do this fold a piece of foil several times, put an empty K cup down on it (upside down) and trace the outside of the K cup onto the foil. Use your best judgment to cut the foil outside of the line you just traced by about a quarter inch. Cut the foil and unfold. Depending upon the size of the piece of foil you should have about 8 – 16 circles.nn6. Fill the dried empty K cups to about 3/4th full.nn7. Cover the top with your foil circle and use your fingers to u201ccrimpu201d the foil around the edge of the K cup.nn8. To use, be sure that you line up the hole in the bottom of your K cup with the pin in the machine. You will feel it sit in when you have it right.
