What’s on our mind about gourmet coffee

Solofill

leave a comment »

I’ve been meaning to write this post forever – we ordered our Solofill refillable k-cups and got all excited when they arrived.  Tried them out and now three weeks later, finally getting around to posting.  So here’s our review.

Solofill - best refillable k-cup we've tried!

Of course there’s the obvious reasons we like Solofills: it takes away the environmental concerns of using k-cups and we can use our own coffee in them (which of course saves money, well, depending on how expensive your coffee taste is!).  But that’s pretty much the case for any of the refillable k-cup inventions.

So, what we liked about Solofill in particular:

  • We really liked that they are all one piece – because of the very small added hassle of having to wash them out, it’s nice to have everything in one piece so that nothing gets lost in the wash
  • On that note, it’s dishwasher-safe
  • It fits in ANY Keurig machine – both commercial and at home machines (which is rare)
  • Because of their Octaflo-Plus System, which evenly distributes hot water through the filter, you get the true taste of the coffee
  • It’s very easy to use
  • 100% BPA free

What we didn’t like about them:

  • Tiny bit of residue, but this is true to any permanent filter type of machine

That’s it!  And we were stretching for that one!  There is one more negative actually – we contacted them about a month ago to see if we could resell them and still not heard back!  Until we do, they have free shipping to Canada right now if you order 4 or more on their site.  At $14.95 USD they are about middle of the road in price, but great for value so definitely worth it.

Hope you’re having a great weekend!
