I have been using the same reusable k-cup for years now, so you can get around that issue.

This is why I’ve never bought a machine that takes pods. That and every time I’ve used a shared one there’s always a wierd song and dance you have to do to get it to actually brew and not throw vague errors or worse just do nothing at you.

I’ve been using a $10 drip coffee machine with a reusable filter for 3 years now and it makes coffee easier and with less waste than a Keurig ever would. Oh and it’s literally just as many steps as a Keurig with a reusable pod
