how do you make k cup paper filters

Would you like better tasting coffee from your Keurig? Or just want to save a few bucks? Then you can make DIY K-cups! I’ve figured it how to do it. But first, let me tell you how I got to the point where I needed to make my own K-cups.

My Discovery (and What Lead to DIY K-Cups)

Finally, in desperation, I began researching the chemical compounds of coffee. I don’t know what I was thinking — like I said, I was desperate. I missed the rich, complex taste of coffee so much. In my research, I stumbled across a decaffeinated process known as Swiss Water Process. This decaf process — done in a gentle, chemical-free process — claims to be 99.9% caffeine free. I rushed out to my local Whole Foods store and got a bag of Allegro Decaf Organic French Roast) for a whopping $12. It worked! I’ve been drinking this fancy Swiss water process coffee for a month without any issues. Yahoo!

But, there’s a caveat. You knew it was coming. This fancy coffee doesn’t come in K-cups for my Keurig coffee maker. I have one of those Eco-Fill Refillable Capsules and I’ve been putting my fancy coffee in there. The problem is that it makes the coffee too weak. It’s too watered down. I think this is because the Eco-Fill K-Cup is basically a big filter and the water doesn’t stay in the grounds for very long. It might also have to do with pressure. For whatever reason, it was weak and it was making me sad again. But this morning I got an idea! What if I re-used the plastic cups? I experimented and it worked!

My Sad Coffee Story

Quick Links to Information in this Post

First, you must understand that I LOVE coffee! I only gave up coffee once — when I was pregnant with Alexa. But earlier this year I was diagnosed with Prinzmetal’s angina, something I’d been experiencing since my 20s but had been getting worse over the years. And it was being triggered by — you guessed it — coffee. More specifically, the culprit was caffeine.

I switched to decaf and continued to have problems. Did you know decaffeinated coffee still has caffeine in it? Yes indeedy. Decaf coffee can have up to 12 mg of caffeine per cup (regular octane coffee varies from 27–95 mg). Decaf was enough of an issue that for SIX MONTHS I went completely without any coffee. It was a sad, sad time.
