- I show you why you remove RED Plug for 5 Needle Keurig My K-Cup Universal Reusable Filter MultiStream Technology amzn.to/3DlUWNu I brew a cup of coffee with the Keurig K Supreme plus smart coffee maker with the Red thingy or Plug installed and with it removed. With the red plug or stopper installed the Reusable k Cup leaked water. I remove my red plug and it works great. The instructions do not tell you if you should remove it or leave it installed.

I Called Keurig last Christmas when we got our supreme plus. They said to remove it if using the 5 needle machine. The red thing is used only when you are using an older single needle type machine. I have 4 of these "my k-cup"s. I use 2 every morning. I grind my own beans and put 12.5g of ground coffee in the "my k-cup". Makes a fairly good cup if using the strongest and highest heat setting. Thanks for all your posts! I appreciate your time and efforts you put into each one!! Have a blessed day and please stay safe out there!!
Thanks for sharing your update!! Thanks for watching and your kind words!!!
Thank you for that video and advice. It seemed counterintuitive, but was afraid of not using it, have water and grinds come up and ruin my new machine. I love it!
Thank you so much for doing this. It is absolutely incredible that Keurig would not put this into their documentation.
We agree!
Your channel is called "Just a Dad Videos" but to me, you are a teacher as well. I just purchased the K-Slim for the multistream technology and was on the fence about the red stopper use. I watched all your videos about this machine, and I truly thank you for breaking down how to use this machine and its components. I will be purchasing the coffee scoop you shown as well to make scooping ground coffee from the bag easier then using a spoon and spilling grounds. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😊👏🏾☕️
You Are so welcome!! thanks for your kind words!!!
wait.. there is a K Slim model with that muiti stream technology???
I just got the “updated” instructions - the new cups come with two sets of instructions - for the older ‘plus series’ and then for what appears to be the current line - which actually does include instructions to remove the plus-series adapter. The latest, 5-stream line is called the “Supreme Plus” line. In the instructions, which I agree are TERRIBLE because they don’t make these distinctions - the red rubber is kept in. I’m guessing we’re missing the official printed manual that tells us to remove the red plug - but suffice to say, how hard was it, really, for Keurig to just come up and say to keep the damn thing in if your machine has anything but multiple needles - and remove it for their “multi stream” stuff.
Thanks for Sharing!!!
So grateful for this video. Got my new reusable k-kup and could not figure out how it worked in my smart keurig. Thank you
Glad helped!!
What is your favorite coffee?
This is your best video on the K Supreme and that red plug. Terrible instructions and so much more complicated than prefilled K cups. Thank you, Dad!
you are so welcome!! thanks for your kind words!!
This has been a problem for me for years. Pretty embarassed to be honest 🤦🏽♂️ Seems like common sense that it has to be removed because of the 5 needles. It actually worked in the beginning with the red rubber stopper, but then I bought a new one and it leaked water from the sides and it drove me nuts. This video is 2 years old and only now I find it??😂 Thank you so much for this info that I should’ve known myself. Much Aloha🤙🏼🙏🏼
I am so grateful that I cam across your site. I purchased the reusable filter from Kroger and almost tossed it in the garbage because I was so confused. Your video was perfect for me as it's getting harder to find the k-cups and I am a huge iced coffee person. Your video was awesome, thank you so much.
Glad I could help!
This is the best video about the red stopper. Clearly shows why you would remove it or not. Thank you, well done.
Glad it helped
This has been a problem for me for the past year and I have been researcing like CRAZY trying to figure this out! THANK YOU for doing this and being so clear with the step-by-step instruction (and explanation) that Keurig doesn't provide!
Glad to help!! what is your favorite Coffee?
@@JustADad I loooove Blue Line Coffee House from ADK in NY! No k-cups, so I rely on that Reusable Filter!
Yes, finally a video that explains this extra water drip. Thank you, thank you. I removed the red stop, much better.
Your welcome!!! glad it helped!!! good job figuring it out!
Thank you so much for your clear, helpful videos, especially this one! I'm getting various tools to make the switch from always using pre-filled k-cup pods to grinding and brewing our own fresh coffee. It's been a learning journey, with a Smart Brewer, and non-smart refillable filters. I realized that it was not working optimally, and ordered the My K-Cup filter, plus the EZ-Scoop. Looking forward to tomorrow morning's session of brewing now that you've demonstrated the get rid of the red adapter comparison. Cheers!
Glad it helped, How did you do?
Thanks for taking the "hit" on that for us all! We just got a 5 needle unit and bought the new My KCup for it and haven't used it yet and I wondered about that red plug as the instructions in the box do not say what to do other than remove it for cleaning.
Glad I could help!
Thank you I was wondering about all the leaks…I will be removing the red rubber from now on!
Thank u I just bought the reusable keurig pod and I had no idea what to do with red plug
Thank you! I'm glad I found your video-- when I left it in (since as you said it does not tell you what to do) I didn't get as much coffee as I was supposed to.
You're welcome!
I wish Keurig would come out with a simpler smaller machine with that multi stream technology! I've had 3 of the supreme model go dead after a required cleansing process - my original purchase and now 2 replacements.
I’m fairly certain the rubber insert is for use with one needle and remove for those with 5 needles. It’s so water isn’t coming up and out when brewing with a one needle machine because it does brew under slight pressure…common sense if you ask me.
Thanks! I just bought a k-supreme for the office so i can make coffee at work and I bought one of those filters wondered what the hell i should do with that red gasket.. you saved me a possible mess.. Like.. like.. like..
Glad I could help!
Agreed. Logically, the red rubber plug would be for the single needle machine vs removing the rubber plug for the 5 needle machine. Just say’n. Thanks
Thank you for your VALUABLE SERVICE! This has been driving me crazy!!
So glad to help
This whole red plug, no red plug controversy is really quite interesting. And being the anal-ists that we are, we appreciate this video so much. We also noticed all of the bypass water dripping around the actual coffee stream, so we tried it without the plug as you suggest and that improved. Still got a little drip or two of plain water, but much improved. It's interesting that a Keurig rep told lawnmowerman to remove it for the 5 needle machine since their own instructions AND a Keurig video using the 5 needle job show the plug left in. Obviously, as you pointed out, the needles do displace the plug. Alas, either way does seem to produce a less robust cup of joe than the one use pods. We really wanted it to taste better since it is more economical to grind your own and there's less plastic in the waste stream. But considering the comparatively weak brew it produces, we're left wondering if the extra fuss of this gadget with or without the plug is worthwhile at all. WE LIKE GOOD COFFEE!! Thanks, Dad, for a wonderful review and comparison.
Yeah this has been a big debate, I just wished Keurig would have had better instructions. As far as the coffee yeah some ground coffee taste great in it and I have had some brands that do taste a little watered down. not sure why. Thanks for watching and your kind words!! thanks for sharing your journey!!!
@@JustADad Thanks for the reply. One question if we may? Does this thing know when it needs descaling, or does that light simply come on after so many cycles even if there is no scale at all or in spite of how often you do this?
@@theramseys5296 Great Question. Older Keurig's would know if it needed descaled. the newer Keurig's the light comes on after so many brews typically 250 weather it needs descaled or not. All three K Supremes are this way, the light just comes on after so many brews. Then the only way to get the light to go out is you have to put the machine into descale mode and run it all the way through even the fresh water rinses for the light to go out. If you miss a step then the light does not go out.
@@JustADad Lovely. Well, we'll be ready!
This! "Alas, either way does seem to produce a less robust cup of joe than the one use pods. We really wanted it to taste better since it is more economical to grind your own and there's less plastic in the waste stream." I finally broke down and bought a Keurig assuming I could continue to grind & use my favorite Peet's coffee in the reusable k-cup. After finally figuring out with the help of this video what I was doing wrong with the k-cup I can say I was disappointed. I am wondering if the grind size matters. I did not see any mention of this in the instructions. I may try a finer grind to see if this helps to achieve my desired brew.
Great job explaining, I’ve had it all wrong!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this helpful information.
FWIW, it would have been helpful to have included a taste comparison of the two cups. That, after all, is what coffee is about. :)
Good point
Thanks! Well done! I'm taking out the Red Lid Plug!
Good call!
Amazing video ! You helped way more than the instructions.. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
You are so right wish I had found this video lol would have saved me time and frustration lol
THanks for taking the time to do this
Any time
Why don't they have 5 needles punched in the bottom as well to make a cup much quicker?
It seems we have conflicting responses from Keurig. I emailed Keurig customer service end of January and got the following reply:
"Thank you for contacting us. The red plug is applied to the lid for the My K-Cup Universal Reusable Coffee Filter to work across all of our Home Brewer Models. It prevents water or coffee from backup into the brewer for single needle brewers. The red plug should always remain attached to the Lid of the My K-Cup Universal Reusable Coffee Filter. The only time you will need to remove the red plug is for cleaning."
I've used mine both ways with no difference so far. I"m using a K-Supreme Plus. Unlike in your demonstration, I don't get any water leakage going outside of the k-cup. I've been alternating just for testing purposes. I'll post an update if I have any issues one way or another. ~James
Yo Dad... thanks for this vid to clear up to use or not to use the red seal... Makes total sense when you pointed out that with the standard K-cups that the needles were piercing the foil and that the individual K-cups don't have a "red" seal in them.... For a lot of us I guess you pointed out a "Duh Moment".
My wife and I decided to purchase a burr grinder and use the "My K-cup" to try and keep non degradable plastic out of our landfills and help our planet. Using the My K-cup seemed the logical route.
Now to the point of my question regarding the My K-cup... does Keurig sell individual mesh filters so that if you say drink several cups you can pull out the used filter and plop in a clean newly filled filter?
thanks for you kind words and funny story, I have not seen any of the mesh filters for sale by themselves.
My past couple 5 needle Keurig's have leaked water out the top like this but it had to do with the plastic holding the filter inside the machine bends down slightly after a while. This does not allow s good seal, could you please do a video on this? BTW thanks for this information. Your vids are awesome.
Thank you! Great video!
🤔 Mine leaks and I don't use that red piece.
Its not a lot but it leaks when I use the Reusable Filter in my K Supreme Plus.
Thank you!
I appreciate your videos. I have the Supreme Plus, and also experience water coming out around the filter. What I notice in watching your videos closely is the front two dog-ears that the K-cup rests on are pushed down below the level of the rest of the opening. I don't know if that is from improper use over time, or if by design. It seems to be flush on your videos. my K-cup is not level when installed - it slopes down to the front of the machine.
Thanks for watching
I prefer to remove it...when I make coffee with it on the coffee seems less strong and more watered down. When I remove it the coffee taste strong like a regular Kcup.
Hey man can you do a review of using one of those paper filters with the keurig universal reusable k cup?
I really appreciate your videos!
Going to have to try cuz mine overflows every time. It worked all right for about a day or two then we bought a different one and it worked all right for a day or two but they all overflow
I've had my k Supreme plus since March I've always used this with the red piece in it but recently it started spitting water while brewing and making my coffee so weak I couldn't stomach it and had to dump it. I found this video and tried it without the red piece after cleaning each piece and it's still not working right. My guess is I need another k cup.
Thank you for this! Poor instructions by the manufacturer.
You're welcome!
Great video. Have you ever tried the small paper filters inside this filter?
Thanks, Not yet but some viewers have and said it sort of works.
I just lost one of those "red things" and wondered if I needed it at all. Your video cleared it up for me. However, I have not had a problem with the red gasket. If I wanted to order a red replacement, what is it called?
the k cup is on sale for $ 11 bucks at amazon amzn.to/3C9bHha
I call it useless...
Move the my K-Cup with the seal from one machine to the other to see if it is the machine that is causing the spreaded dripping of the water! You need to eliminate if it is the machine down below the my K-Cup causing the different flow! What is the difference between the original multistream my K-Cup and the "NEW" my K-Cup? The "NEW" one with the red plug may be so the universal "NEW" my K-Cup can be used for the old single stream and new multistream where the one that doesn't say "NEW" was only for the multistream!
Thanks for the input, I will try it.
What??
So, on my K Supreme Plus, I remove the red thing, coffee grinds are still backing up and spilling out of each of those 4 holes. The coffee grind size look just like yours in the video. My attention is now focused on that upper gasket that "should" seal around each of the 4 needle things, but I still can't get it to work.
make sure the filter basket you put the coffee in is not clogged, make sure the upper needles are not clogged also,
@@JustADad OK, I fixed it!! Turned out it was the gasket that goes around all 5 of those needles located on the machine lid. Originally, I had thought that gasket needed to be pushed up and seated really well, like most gaskets, but that couldn't be further from the truth. This particular gasket NEEDS to be moved closer to the tips of the needles, moving this gasket further out allows the gasket to actually reach the holes in the reusable k cup lid and press against it forming a seal. This gasket needed to be warmed up first which makes it easier to move, so I ran three 4oz cycles back to back to back to get the gasket nice and warmed up, then I was able to use the round side of my paperclip to kinda pry around every corner moving the gasket down towards each needle tip, and voila!! One single coffee stream like it should, instead of a round waterfall into my cup :) Thanks for your videos they really helped me see the potential problem, otherwise I would still be messing with it
@@TheAMVDJ was that a permanent fix, or something you need to do every time you brew?
@@ollie4194 Still going good after 10 months! I'll add this but it's no big deal, "sometimes" when I start a fresh brew especially if I really filled the tub with grains I will hold the lid down while a brew gets started to give the machine a jumpstart to help the machine force water through the grains which can "sometimes" cause the lid/gasket to backoff due to the pressure of initially pushing water through, but once the stream starts flowing and the pressure is no longer as great as in the beginning I release me finger after a few seconds. But yes, it's worked awesome ever since for less than ~30 cents
Love the video
How long does this 2.0 kcup refillable last. i have one its bin 1 year and 6 months now
I love that scoop. Where can I get one?
Amazon and Walmart sell them EZ-Scoop by Perfect Pod | Coffee Scooper for Reusable K Cup amzn.to/3kt7qfi
@@JustADad,
Thank you!!
I was so excited about this video since our my kcup leaked so bad it was unusable. I fore went my after noon abstention of caffeine to test out this marvelous new fix… took out red rubber contraption, stared intently as a nice coffee stream erupted… then… almost equal amounts of water leaked around it… smh… I dont want to buy k cups. Im just about to toss this in the trash and go back to the good ol moka pot. Little more time and mess but a great cup o joe. Any more suggestions I would love to hear. Good video though. Sadly just didn’t work for me.
Had the same problem. Solved it by sliding the black rubber seal around the 5 nozzle lower towards tip of nozzle. No more leaks around the sides. Try it. Keep red plug out.
I'll bet the 4 extra needles stay cleaner longer if you do not use that red insert.
That red gasket must be for single needle
Yep that is what I think also
That dripping on the right machine happens to me even with the red thing off. Any ideas how to fix that?
I notice the same thing, water still bypass the k cup and plain water drips I the mug. That's the reason I'm watching these videos, trying to see if others are having the same issue? The reason for buying the one with 5 needles is to saturate the coffee better, or so i thought....maybe my unit is defective not getting a tight seal on the 5 needles? Red plug out and still getting plain water. Is there a fix?
@@timothygreene8469 I am having same issue with the single needle machine. Frustrating.
Maybee u do remove red thing then ,instructions suck i give u that. Keep up good content..
Thanks for watching!!!! and your Continued support!!!!!!!!!!!!
any ideas you have for new videos?
I removed the red thing and still dripping water all around, so frustrating, keuring engineering would need to be fired for this design.
It’s really poor instructions but yes if your using the supreme take the red plug out.
My machine spits out so much water all over the place and I get coffee grounds in my coffee… this machine is horrid . I used to love Keurigs. I will never buy another
Change filter
Thanks
Removed the red stopper and I still get dripping around the bottom lip. Any idea what may be the issue?. Just got the Supreme model from costco a few weeks ago. The throw away pods work great. The reusable pod doesn't have the nice steady stream. Thanks.
