While saving money on your coffee is great, it can be even better when you don’t have to buy K-Cups every week. Many people like the idea of reusable pods, but there are so many different kinds that it confuses even the most experienced coffee drinker.

With an understanding of how they work and a look at the market, it is possible to find a reusable K Cup that doesn’t compromise taste or convenience. 

Here are a few points to consider:

Buy of Better Quality

According to reports, the global reusable coffee cup market is segmented into five major regions, including North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.

It seems like a no-brainer, but you would be surprised how many people spend less on their reusable K-Cups and wind up with not only a bad-tasting coffee but also one that is difficult to use.

The real trick is to avoid plastic or flimsy materials that make cleaning difficult or easily break under the machine’s pressure. In this case, you should spend more on better quality and have an easier time with your coffee pod.

Make Sure It is Easy to Take Apart and Clean

The hardest part of most reusable K-Cups is cleaning them after use. A brewer which makes it easy to take apart and soak the parts will make this task much more straightforward and give you a better-tasting cup in the process. 

You should be able to easily take apart the K-Cup, wash it by hand or in a dishwasher to get rid of any coffee ground residue which would result in an unpleasant brew.

The best reusable pod will have no trouble coming apart even when dealing with stubborn coffee ground residue.

You Should be Able to Add Your Coffee for Fresh Taste

One of the best things about a brewer that uses a reusable K-Cup is the ability to put your coffee in it. If you have a favorite blend or want to try something new, this is always an option with these brewers.

There are also specific varieties intended for loose coffee, but most will handle either.

While you can use pre-ground coffee, it will not taste as good. A common trick with these brewers is to grind your beans fresh for each cup of coffee. It gives you the best results, and some models will even do this step if you ask them to.

Easy to Use

If you care about the taste and convenience of your coffee, look for a brewer that is easy to use. It means finding one with controls that make sense and readouts that are easy to understand.

In most cases, controlling brew strength will be an option you should favor if your goal is better-tasting coffee.

So many brewers have complex controls to understand, and they expect the user to mess around with options without a clear understanding of what they do. In this case, it’s always better to choose a brewer which places simplicity above everything else so you can be sure anyone can use it.

Check If It is a BPA-Free

Reusable pods are an issue because the material must be heat resistant. While this is tolerable for one or two uses, you will wind up ingesting too much plastic over time if you use these often.

You should always check to see what materials are used for your reusable K-Cups and buy BPA-free ones if possible.
