What kind of coffee do you put in reusable K cups?
There are no limitiations to what type of coffee you can use in the reusable K-cup, so feel free to experiment. For the best possible experience, it is recommended that you grind your own beans fresh for each brewing. This will ensure that your coffee is always full of flavor. When using a reusable K-Cup, it is recommended to use 1-2 tablespoons of finely ground light roast coffee. Depending on your taste preference, you can adjust the amount within this range. Keep in mind that too little coffee may result in a weak cup, while too much might lead to a bitter taste.
