Editor Review – Solofill Cup
This is the first ever refillable filter cup that is self-contained which was created for the Keurig brewers. The Solofill Cup has an easy two step process which can’t be beat. First, you fill the cup with your favorite type of coffee. Second, you close the lid and turn on your Keurig coffee maker. That’s it, your done! It couldn’t be easier.
It has a stainless steel micro mesh filter that is built in which eliminates the need to ever replace a filter. You can use any of your favorite gourmet coffee flavors with this product which allows you to save money while helping to reduce the amount of damage done to the environment. Hot water will be evenly distributed through the cup by the Octaflo Plus spray which helps to ensure that each and every cup of coffee will be perfect. This product has a very unique once piece design that has a stainless steel micro mesh filter and integrated hinged lid that makes cleaning up a breeze.
Let’s face it, in this economy, many of us can’t afford to purchase keurig coffee pods but still want to drink gourmet coffee. If you’re one of those people, this is the answer you’ve been looking for. You still get to enjoy your favorite coffee at a fraction of the cost. What more could you ask for?

As a huge fan of Keurig brewing, I was delighted to discover Solofill cups! I have been using mine for a couple months and love the versatility and the ease of using this Kcup replacement. Unlike the “My Kcup” holder that you can use with most Keurig machines, this little gem pops right in without having to remove the pod holder from the brewer.
The Solofill takes about 2 tablespoons of coffee and that’s the main appeal of this. You can use your own ground coffee instead of always having to buy the pricey pre-filled Kcups. It makes a great cup of coffee and allows users to buy any kind of coffee they please. Some users have complained about cleaning the Solofill. I find it easy. Just tap the cooled coffee grounds on the edge of your trash receptacle and most will fall out. Then rinse it out and it’s ready to go again. I keep two handy so I can be using one and cleaning the other. I see this little invention as a great way to save money and have options as to the kinds and types of coffee you want to use.
Finally!! I love my Keurig, and I don’t mind buying the k-cups. What does bother me is the limited availability of flavored decaf coffees. I am a coffee addict and could drink it all day if it didn’t keep me up all night. I have tried every other do it yourself k cup product out there and they all stink! This product actually works. It brews a decent cup of coffee, not watered down and not a single ground of coffee in the cup. This product is worth the money! Thinking about buying a second!
Great Coffee taste with all the flavors of fresh ground coffee and a French Press with out the mess. Solofill Cup is almost idiot proof. If you can read and follow directions you will have no problem with this. My K Cup works fine, but the Solofill Cup works better. Easier to use, better flow, more of the flavors of fresh ground coffee come through. If you use the right grind, only fill to the fill line, make sure the gasket is clean and snap the lid shut it will work right every time. Added bonus, when I am in a hurry and snap a factory K Cup in, I don’t have to change the filter holder. Best $15.00 spent in awhile. Get to use local custom blend fresh whole bean coffee that tastes as good as French Press. My K Cup coffee always lacked some of the flavor, Solofill Cup does not.
I have tried 2 other products which didn’t work well at all. This works perfect. Fill it to the top closer it and drop it in !!
As everyone has already said…it works PERFECTLY! I had a little trouble cleaning it with finer grinds…But, I found a solution. After you have brewed your cup, take out the Solofill and tap it upside down on the counter. Now open it up over the garbage can and 95% of the grounds come out whole! Now you can clean it in 10 secs flat. I hope that helps others out.
Have been using the EZ-Cup by Perfect Pod along in combination with the Perfect Pod EZ-Cup Paper Filters. This allows me to use ground coffee without the mess of washing out the thin mesh filter basket. I remove the paper lid of the EZ-Cup Paper Filters before inserting it into the Perfect Pod so it doesn’t interfere with the pressurized water coming in. After, just lift the Paper Filter out and no mess trying to dump/rinse the Perfect Pod.
The problem of course is that it is not that convenient to have to keep swapping the Keurig’s own pod holder with the Perfect Pod, depending on which coffee I’m using.
But, I just got this Solofill Cup today and put the topless Paper Filter in it and dropped it into the Keurig’s own pod holder and it works perfectly. This is about as good a solution as you can get for doing ground coffee.
No having to switch the pod holder any longer. No mess with the rinsing, and because the Solofill is the same size as the Paper Filters, the pressurized water seems to brew the coffee more completely. Remember to remove the paper lid from the Paper Filters–the lid interferes with the water coming in.
Purchased 2 for my B60 and use it to make Dunkin Donuts coffee. Been using for a few weeks now, and they work like a charm. Being able to keep the same k cup insert in the machine is great, and makes it easy to use a k cup or the solofill without much hassle.
Clean up wasn’t the easiest until I read an earlier reviewer mention to just tap the flat end of the solofil against your counter when you take it out of the machine a couple times. Open the cup over the trash with a light shake and it all comes out perfectly. A quick rinse and you have spent all of 10 seconds to clean it out. Build quality is great. And no issues with leaking or spraying.
Only reason I’ve given 4 stars is because I think a K cup still makes a better brew. I’ve never found coffee grinds in my brew, but when reaching the bottom I do find some sediment at the bottom of the cup. I think this is just because wire filters will never be as good as your typical paper filters when it comes to brewing coffee. But for the ease of use, affordability, and ability to brew DD coffee. This is the best choice and worth every penny for the design and thought that went into this product.
I love this little device. While I love my k-cups the cost per cup makes the price a little higher then my bargain hunting habits would like. I tried the my k-cup and hated it – the coffee was always weak and undrinkable from my standards – I LOVE dark roast coffee and it must be strong. I can fill my whole 20oz commuter cup in the morning with ONE solofill cup. This cup will hold about two cups worth of grounds (or, one tablespoon.) The coffee I make with this product comes out darker and richer then any of the other k-cups I’ve used because – YOU CONTROL THE AMOUNT OF GROUNDS! I’ve also never had to resort to messing around with ground consistency. The consistancy you’d want for any drip pot works just fine in this. If you go finer… I could see you having some residue in the cup.
You DO need to have your standard k-cup insert in your machine to use this. I have never had my machine leak, and I’ve used this about 40+ times in the past 3 weeks. You DO need to realize that this is the k-cup equivalant to say, a gold reusable mesh filter that you would purchase for your automatic drip machine. If you don’t like those kind of products odds are you won’t like this.
I give this 4 stars instead of 5 because you do need to tap this quite a bit to get the grounds out from the very very bottom. Personally, I think thats pretty trivial. If you have a two person household like mine or drink a lot of coffee and don’t have time for the cup to cool you may want two of these for convience with the slight cleaning issue.
The wait is finally over and my pre-order of the Solofill Cup has arrived, waited a long time since it’s release as it became sold out right away, but why did it take so long to restock? It was even sold out on their own site. After reading some negative reviews on the coffee being weak and just disappointing I got a little worried about this. As soon as I received the Solofill I did a test cup. I used my whole bean Gold Cost Starbucks blend that I love and missed since I had the Keurig single cup machine. I grinded the beans using the “fine” setting on my grinder, spooned the coffee into the Solofill to the top and closed it’s lid. Just place it into the Keurig as you would any K-Cup, I made the biggest cup available on my premium machine and in seconds fresh coffee was brewed. It tasted actually better than expected! It was as if I got this cup of coffee fresh from Starbucks. Everything I loved about the taste of this blend was intact and then some, i say that because when I used to make it in my regular pot it never came out perfect as it did with the Solofill and my Keurig single serve machine. I have to say this is so much better than Keurig `s own version where you have to pull out the K-Cup holder in the machine so you can insert their reusable filter and much, much easier to clean, with a quick rinse you’re ready for the next cup.
I will update tomorrow.. when I try canned coffee to see how the Solofill performs, but as of now I love it.
Update: I tried using canned coffee and guess what this thing ROCKS!! It produces one heck of a great cup of Java!!
Buy it.. don’t listen to these negative reviews at all. I can’t figure out what any of their problems are with this product, as someone wrote in another review the bad reviews could be plants from the Keurig company. Who knows but I am a real person and I tell you this thing WORKS! I got some people saying my review wasn’t helpful.. Why? Cause I am telling the truth? Trust me guys this works!
Let me state at the outset that I’m a Starbucks snob, but my addiction there was getting a little too expensive. Enter the K-cup system – it’s not as good as Starbucks, mostly because it doesn’t get the water hot enough but given the price of a large coffee at ‘Bucks, it was worth the tradeoff. It’s a passable cup.
Still, I thought it could be better and frankly, I did miss the variety of coffee so I tried the Solofill. Given my experience with the My K-Cup that came with my machine, I was skeptical but gave it a shot anyway, filling it with Starbucks tribute blend and sonuvagun, it actually put out a GOOD, full bodied cup of coffee. Because of the temperature issues, you’re still missing out on the high end notes of the cup but I was shocked at how good it was. I’m sold.
Two things to note – if you’ve ever had coffee out of a French press, you will have noted at but of mud at the bottom of them cup and the same thing applies here, though it’s purely an aesthetic thing. Second, I’ve been having good luck using a grind that’s between drip and espresso. YMMV, but I found it’s the sweet spot for me.
I am enjoying this reusable K-cup. I love having coffee without eating the grains! It’s much better than the other reusable cups.
I love my Keurig machine for coffee but I also love to drink iced tea and hot tea. I am a firm believer in loose tea and the Solofill cup worked GREAT for tea! I just added a scoop of my favorite loose leaf tea to the cup, put the setting on the smallest setting, added ice and a little more water. In less than 1 minute I was enjoying perfect iced tea!
I will be buying more of these little guys! They are wonderful!!!
