Just couldn't get a good cup out of this.
I really wanted this to work. I tried all sorts of workarounds to make a good cup with this: dark roasts from the fancy coffee store, packing it in, not packing it in, smaller cup size, etc. Nothing made as good a cup as just using the K-Cups from the fancy coffee store. We'll keep this in the cabinet just in case, but no, this is not a daily user. Disappointing.

Threw it away.
Looked exactly like the one I already have, except the basket is a little bigger.Arrived with a hole in the bottom of the screen.Not worth returning. Threw it away.

Decent, not compatible with K-Cups
I purchased this through Amazon, my verified purchase is for the grey color Lotus Petal SySrion-Cup, Upgrade Reusable Coffee Filter for Keurig,120% Bigger Coffee Filter, My K-Cup Style,Fits B30 B40 B50 B60 B70 K7 K75 Series, Gray Since nobody answered the question that I posted regarding this product, I'll answer my own question which was "Can you use K-Cups in this cup or do you need to replace the original when you want to use the K-Cups?"The answer is that you cannot use this to brew K-Cups. The instructions tell you that you cannot due to the back pressure it will cause in the machine. I realized that, unlike the original holder, this will not punch a hole in the bottom of the K-Cup, which allows the coffee to drip and therefore the water pressure will build up in the cup and back into the Keurig when water is injected into the cup. So, the obvious answer was to punch a hole in the bottom of a K-Cup. Close, but no cigar; the K-Cup does not sit exactly flush in this holder it sits a bit high. Due to that positioning, the hole which the Keurig punches on the foil (top) side of the cup, is much larger than if it sat flush and so the water starts to come out the top of the K-Cup, not the bottom. In short, if you want to use this interchangeably with the mesh basket and K-Cups, forget it, you can't. You'll have to reinsert the original holder if you want to use switch between your grinds and K-Cups.That being said, if you only want to use ground coffee this works decently. As others have mentioned the good feature of this cup is that it is larger than others and holds more coffee. The not-so-good news is that the water stream makes a tunnel through the center of the grinds and it is my feeling that not all of the coffee that you put in there is actually brewed. The mesh on this cup is around the sides and on the bottom, the water stream creates a tunnel in the center of the grinds and a lot of the water just goes through the tunnel and out the bottom mesh. Perhaps if the bottom were solid, such as Brew n Fill - Universal Keurig Reusable Coffee Filter - Eco Friendly and Refillable - Set of 3 Stainless Steel Pods the water would be forced out through the sides and therefore more of the grinds would come into contact and make a better cup of coffee. I may try inserting a solid piece of plastic in the bottom to see how that works.FOLLOW UP: I did use a slug (actually a token from the Shenzhen subway) which fit and covered the bottom mesh almost perfectly. This did not solve the tunneling problem and, while more water was forced through the sides, the coffee was not much better. With this cup, the water is sprayed in a straight stream, there is nothing to divert the water in different directions. The other cups mentioned above (and more like them) have slits in the injector nozzle which allows the water to drip over the top of the coffee, spreading it through the grinds, as opposed to this cup which just drips down the middle.I used two teaspoons of Illy espresso grind and this fine mesh basket did a very good job of screening the grinds which is more than I can say for most steel mesh filters.Using the 2 teaspoons and the 4 oz. setting on the Keurig produced a good cup of coffee, but as mentioned I am not sure that it wouldn't utilize more of the grinds and be a richer cup of coffee if the bottom were solid to mitigate the effect of the tunneling.

LOVE this!!!!!
What a fantastic product!! I got 3 of these but you only need one! I wasn't sure exactly how to use them at first, just follow directions. I honestly had no idea that the k-cup holder on my Keurig could "pop out" and be replaced with these!! How convenient! I will be gifting the other two. Once you pop out the original k-cup holder, you just drop this one in, it fits perfectly. Then the little coffee grounds basket is removable for many, many uses. I am highly pleased with this product and I'd like to thank the seller for allowing me to be a part of their promotion. I received these at a discount for my honest opinion, and I can honestly say this is an excellent product!
