Reusable K cups for your Keurig coffee machine. [View all]

I always wondered how many of those little plastic Keurig cartridges ended up.in land fills. I guess the answer is all of them, which is a very large number. The Keurig machine is a big step backward for the environment. But I have noticed little cartridges made of metal screen material. The idea is, you load them with coffee and clean them out for reuse. Makes sense. If I had a K cup machine, I would get them.
