For the regular K mini Keurig, you have to push the kcup holder from the bottom to be able to pop it off of the brewer. Once it pops off you can place the my kcup universal onto it.
Thank You so much.I was playing with that small grey support ring and almost destroyed everything. You are the only person who shown that the grey ring is not needed for mini machine. Thank you very much
I just purchased the K-KUP Reusable Filter and was so confused by the instructions, I was going to return it. Then I found this TH-cam video! The instructions are very clear and each step is there in front of you. He answered every question I had before I could ask! It's great. Now I can try this in my K-Cup Mini. Thanks.
thank you for this video, I was 10 videos' in and was about to return it until I clicked on your video tutorial. nobody really was detailed enough for me to get it. thanks a lot !!!!! appreciate the time and effort.
Great video,, thanks! I do know that the gray handle on the reusable K-cup is to be used in the newer Keurig that have "plus" in the model name. I had the K-Supreme plus at one point and the gray handle had to be used.
Thank you. I was getting unreasonably frustrated with the lack of instruction and with all other attempts that just talk and talk and talk and then don’t show it. I figured it out from your first 5 seconds. Thank you.
THANK YOU!! I could NOT figure out how to get the Keurig Mini-Plus to release the installed filter basket that holds the purchased K-Cups to make room for my new Universal Reusable one but your video helped me to understand what was happening.
I wish I saw this video before I purchased another kcup filter. I had no idea the bottom part was removable. I just thought I purchased the wrong filter. Very informative video👍
Thank you for this video. I have the same machine as you and I could not get the reusable filter to work, until you pointed out the gray piece is not needed. Once I followed your directions, it worked! It is confusing with that extra grey piece that comes with the reusable filter because it wouldn't fit inside the machine and I was struggling with how to make this thing work!
Thank you so much. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to use this. I had almost decided I had bought the wrong K-cup filter for my K-cup mini. They should have clearer instructions.
It's a nice filter better then the cheep ones.i notices alot don't get all the coffie as in it makes a watery coffie.this filter makes a good clean cup of coffie❤ thank you for your help!
Omg thank you so much!!! This is so helpful I damaged my old k kup because I didn’t follow the directions before and now I see your instructions and this is so helpful! Thank you thank you!!!🎉
Hey, Thanks for the instruction! I haven't yet purchased the Keurig brand k-cup because I thought it was a little $$, but I might now. Tired of limping along with my old reusable i-coffee k-kups that are falling to pieces. It's a little crazy, though, how many pieces the Keurig brand has. I generally do 3- 8 oz cups, so like to have 3 k-cups on hand, but I think I'll try doing 12 oz as you did. Maybe I won't need 24 oz of coffee/ day if it brews is a bit stronger, haha.
Very good & thorough description & instructions. I've used the universal K cup for a few years now in the original Keurig. Buying the new K Mini & I keep seeing people comment the universal K cup doesn't work. So I wanted to make sure it does & here's your video showing that it does. Agree not all of those K cups are the same so good explanation on the harder plastic & why it can be inferior.
Do you use the reusable k-cup for the original Keurig in your k mini plus? I also have the reusable from the original. It does fit in the k mini plus but I was wondering if I need to get the one like in his video. Thanks!
I have a Keurig K-Mini that I got from someone else so it was not in the original box, It worked with the regular Keurig pods and the K-cup holder. When I tried a fillable pod, it would not work with the standard K-cup holder. I had to spend a lot of time searching to find that the I needed to remove the standard K-cup holder and I also needed an adapter like the Universal My-K-Cup to use with a refillable pod. This video, and a one other, explained it well. Thank you. I also saw a video that the Keurig K-Mini has the single needle and the original universal refillable adaptor was better with a single hole instead of the new one that has the 5 holes on top. The complaint was that the red gasket can be difficult to remove for cleaning and refit.
Thank you! I’m about to get this now. I used the purple reusable one and the water came out really slow and it got a little messy. I was able to get some coffee and it was way stronger than the k cups disposable. Definitely about to buy this on Amazon for a better flow with my ground coffee. Thank you! I have the same machine! It’s $8.97 right now! 40% off!!!
The instructions even the label on the product is very long and not right. And that's why so many people can't figure out how to use the thing properly however once mastered, it is a wonderful cup of coffee although I wish it was all metal. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to the rest of the public. I
I appreciate this! So much easier to follow than the two sets of instructions. Question - do we need to run a cleaning cycle / brew after making a cup of coffee using the My k-cup just like you would after using a regular k-cup?
Instead of tossing the grounds into the trash, I recommend adding to your compost. If you have "green" pickup at your residence, it can be included with your yard waste along with all of your banana peels, avocado pits, grape stems, etc.
So is it necessary to buy the reusable k-cup you have or can I use my reusable k-cup that I used in my original Keurig? It seems to fit fine but wasn’t sure if the holes and the red thing made a difference 🤷🏼♀️
Hi, yeah as far as I can tell the holes and red rubber stopper enables the pressure build up required for the coffee to brew. One time, I forgot to affix the red stopper back carefully and it came loose and coffee sprayed out the top and got everywhere. That's when I realized it helps contains and maximizes whatever pressure is needed to brew the grounds into a nice hot cup.
3 things…. 1. Better than a paper clip try flossing, I use the G.U.M Proxabrush go-betweens cleaners (for healthy gums) 2. Love the RED Brita and Starbuck cup … just like our kitchen, felt right at home. 3. Excellent vid! Thank you
Thank you. I've heard nothing but good things about Keurig and its' coffeemakers. Purchased the K-MINI PLUS. Have yet to brew a cup of joe yet but that's because I spent the past 45 minutes trying to figure out how to use the My K-Cup filter. Instructions were absolutely worthless. WORTHLESS! TH-cam to the rescue, again. My granddaughter raves about her Keurig. Hope it works out for me as well. Thanks OLAF2046
I read the instructions and no-go - that is why I am here - LOL - but I have K-Mini - not a Plus - and I just want to point out that, even though the colors are cute in the K-Mini - the K-Mini PLUS has the extra button for strong coffee and you really need it. Your video helped a LOT because I could see I was doing it correctly but the top filter thing does not tightly fit on the gray basket and then it loosely fits into the Keurig so when it makes the coffee it splurches all over the cup and so you have to use a wide mouth cup or it is all over.
Thank you! Just spent a full hour on the phone with Keurig customer service who were way less helpful. I figured out the way you described but the inside and underside of the machine is FILTHY and so hard to get inside to clean. Mine is white so it's very noticeable. Are we sure this is the "right" way? If so, how are you cleaning it?
So the difference is its cleaner if you can take out the part already in the bigger kurigs .when I took out the black peice that's already in the kurig it was gross.s9 now after I took it out and put that new thing in my coffie was so good!but why so expensive lol whats the big deal if you don't need too take out the big black part that already went too the machine?
Thank you!! I almost returned this. I love that people like you are willing to take precious time to share knowledge!
For the regular K mini Keurig, you have to push the kcup holder from the bottom to be able to pop it off of the brewer. Once it pops off you can place the my kcup universal onto it.
Thank you so much. Wish I had seen this comment before I spent 30 minutes on Google trying to find an answer lol.
Lol same here im like how tf did he push it all in 😂😂😂
Thank you so much, just bought one and thought I was screwed.
Thanks!!!!
I had the same issue
I just bought my reusable cup, is the same brand but the instructions weren't this detailed or separated by type of machine!! you are a savior
Thank You so much.I was playing with that small grey support ring and almost destroyed everything. You are the only person who shown that the grey ring is not needed for mini machine. Thank you very much

Oh my goodness! Thank goodness you made this video. I was lost in the technical wilderness from Keurig’s non-sensical instructions.
thank you for this video, I was 10 videos' in and was about to return it until I clicked on your video tutorial. nobody really was detailed enough for me to get it. thanks a lot !!!!! appreciate the time and effort.
Omg thank you for this video! I had no idea you had to take the black piece out before putting the “My K-Cup” in the machine.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I was going crazy trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Lifesaver!!!
Great video,, thanks! I do know that the gray handle on the reusable K-cup is to be used in the newer Keurig that have "plus" in the model name. I had the K-Supreme plus at one point and the gray handle had to be used.
OMG! THANK YOU! I was so bummed thinking that this was falsely advertised for use on all machines. Almost returned it!
Wish we could give you two thumbs up or a Nobel prize!!! THANK YOU!!!🎉
Thank you! Lost my instructions years ago and was at a loss as to how to make the filter fit into my mini.
Thank you. I was getting unreasonably frustrated with the lack of instruction and with all other attempts that just talk and talk and talk and then don’t show it. I figured it out from your first 5 seconds. Thank you.
I was so confused and frustrated after spending what felt like too much money just for it to not work. Thank you so so much for posting this!!
THANK YOU!! I could NOT figure out how to get the Keurig Mini-Plus to release the installed filter basket that holds the purchased K-Cups to make room for my new Universal Reusable one but your video helped me to understand what was happening.
I wish I saw this video before I purchased another kcup filter. I had no idea the bottom part was removable. I just thought I purchased the wrong filter. Very informative video👍
Just want to add another "Thank you. I was going to return it". Taking one piece out saved my day. Thanks!
Thaaaaaank you so very very very much. I was one of the ones that thought it didn't fit, didn't realize that part came out. Blessings
Thanks so much for this. This is the best video I’ve seen on this subject.
THANK YOU! Even Keurig couldn't explain this!
Thank you for this video. I have the same machine as you and I could not get the reusable filter to work, until you pointed out the gray piece is not needed. Once I followed your directions, it worked! It is confusing with that extra grey piece that comes with the reusable filter because it wouldn't fit inside the machine and I was struggling with how to make this thing work!
I just got my universal filter and was going crazy already trying to figure out the instructions, so thank you!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial!! We can finally use out new Keurig with the reusable filter!
Thank you, young man! This was exactly the info I was looking for.
Thank you so much. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to use this. I had almost decided I had bought the wrong K-cup filter for my K-cup mini. They should have clearer instructions.
It's a nice filter better then the cheep ones.i notices alot don't get all the coffie as in it makes a watery coffie.this filter makes a good clean cup of coffie❤ thank you for your help!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU
You were very clear giving instructions. I’m already enjoying my coffee.
Omg thank you so much!!! This is so helpful I damaged my old k kup because I didn’t follow the directions before and now I see your instructions and this is so helpful! Thank you thank you!!!🎉
I’m so glad you made this video awhile ago. I was getting really frustrated with it. Thank you ! 🙏🏿
Thanks for this. That reusable filter is like a Rubik’s cube.
So glad you explained this...I was really wondering, if I purchased the correct reusable filter!!

Thank you so much for this! I was ready to return this to Target!
Thank You for this idea, I was so baffled trying to find a proper reusable coffee filter for my machine.
I just want one of those machines. I didn't have a clue about the k quotes. Thank you for your demonstration it was very helpful.
Thank you so much!!! I was getting SO FRUSTRATED!! You saved me a lot of time.
Thanks Jenny. You are welcome. Enjoy your brew!

Thank you! Cannot believe Keurig doesn’t explain how to insert this. I was ready to return them. lol.
Thank you so much. You are wonderful for showing me how to do this. I was afraid I had just bought the wrong machine!
Ahhhhh THANK YOUUU!!! I have been messing with this for an hour and couldn’t figure it out 😂
You saved my coffee life this morning!!!!
Thank you very much. Now I understand after you showed me. Very much appreciated.
Thanks for this. I was completely perplexed with the redundant Kcup holder.
Thank you so much! I was fighting for my life out here! 😂
I appreciate this! So much easier to follow than the two sets of instructions. Question - do we need to run a cleaning cycle / brew after making a cup of coffee using the My k-cup just like you would after using a regular k-cup?

Does the coffee do anything good for the compost?
Thank you!!! I had mine all ready to return.
Thank you for this video ❤
Thanks for clearing this up!
Thank you so so very much, just moved to my first Keurig. Old school here 😆
Man, thank you so much for this video.
Thank you so mcuh!! I was super confused before watching this video
Merci beaucoup. Awesome video and I bought the wrong reusable pod and your video helped me find the right one.
Thank you. You're life saver!!! I was about to throw away my reusable KCip
Thank you. This was very helpful.
So is it necessary to buy the reusable k-cup you have or can I use my reusable k-cup that I used in my original Keurig? It seems to fit fine but wasn’t sure if the holes and the red thing made a difference 🤷🏼♀️

Awesome. I was confused. Very helpful video. I got it now!!!!!😊
Almost thinking my keurig k mini plus was not compatible with the fisure 😫😫. Thanks god I saw this video . Thank you .
3 things…. 1. Better than a paper clip try flossing, I use the G.U.M Proxabrush go-betweens cleaners (for healthy gums)
2. Love the RED Brita and Starbuck cup … just like our kitchen, felt right at home.
3. Excellent vid! Thank you
Thank you for your excellent tutorial because the instructions that came with the box were very confusing !
Thank you. I've heard nothing but good things about Keurig and its' coffeemakers. Purchased the K-MINI PLUS. Have yet to brew a cup of joe yet but that's because I spent the past 45 minutes trying to figure out how to use the My K-Cup filter. Instructions were absolutely worthless. WORTHLESS!

Awesome instructions, thanks for posting this 😊
Thank you!! Excellent video now i am make great coffee!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Saved my day!
Thank you! Much more helpful than Keurig customer service.
Thank you!!😂 I was going to return my reusable k-cup because I couldn’t get it to close 😂😂😂
Thank you, I thought i was crazy over here
Super helpful, thank you!😊
Thanks so much! So helpful!
Nice video. I can hardly wait for mine to come to the post office.
Thank you! Just spent a full hour on the phone with Keurig customer service who were way less helpful. I figured out the way you described but the inside and underside of the machine is FILTHY and so hard to get inside to clean. Mine is white so it's very noticeable. Are we sure this is the "right" way? If so, how are you cleaning it?
Where did you get your red filtered pitcher?
2 Years later... Thank you 😁
Anytime. 2 years later and it's still working btw. Definitely recommend
Thank you for this, I was about to be so frustrated I bought this thing for nothing 🤣
So I did all this and I'm getting watery coffee. Dry grounds after proves I'm not getting much coffee. Machines brand new...any thoughts?
Thank you ❤ those instructions in the box were so difficult to understand 😅
Well done! Thanks much!
A thousand thank yous.
Thank you 😊
One year later...is ur K-Mini Plus still working?
Hi Johnny it is still working flawlessly. I've used it once a day during the weekday for a morning brew and twice on weekends if I'm home all day.
Mine works 2/3 of the time…1/3 of the time the water doesn’t heat up & dispenses cold water!
So the difference is its cleaner if you can take out the part already in the bigger kurigs .when I took out the black peice that's already in the kurig it was gross.s9 now after I took it out and put that new thing in my coffie was so good!but why so expensive lol whats the big deal if you don't need too take out the big black part that already went too the machine?
Thanks for the video man!
Thank youu!! Much appreciated!
Very helpful, thank you!
OMG THANK YOU
Thank you thank you thank you! The instructions in the packages are SO BAD and you cleared it all up. :)
Thanks.. Great video.
THANKS !! I was just about to throw the reusable k cup away
Great guidance but alas, the reusable cup still doesn't give me as good a cup of joe as the plastic ones.
Thank you!
Take the red rubber thing out if you have the multi prongs.
