Q: How many times can the basket and cap be reused?
A: If you are careful with them, forever. You only need a new filter each time and if you are careful washing that out you can reuse that too.
Q: Will the cap work with any pod?
A: No. It is designed to work with our baskets or reusing a K-Cup capsule. If you reuse a capsule, you must reuse capsules with filters in them to make coffee. Please note that some capsules like Hot Cocoa do not have any filters in them.
Q: What is this basket and cap made of?
A: The baskets and caps are made out of polypropylene and are BPA/BPS-free.
Q: Will my brewer be damaged?
A: No. Your brewer will not be damaged.
Q: Is the cap machine-washable?
A: Yes. It is very durable and is dishwasher-safe.
Q: How much coffee should I put in the basket?
A: Fill the basket about 3/4 of the way. Make sure you use a fine grind.
Q: What coffee grind should I use?
A: In general, very fine. The coffee used in the pods is almost an espresso grind. When you clean a pod after using it the first time, feel the coffee between your fingers. Remember that sensation - that is how the grind should feel when you grind your own coffee. Ultimately, the strength of the brew is a matter of taste, so experimenting is good. In the end, if you like it, then it is the right grind.
Q: Do I use a fresh filter each time I make a capsule?
A: Yes. You can purchase formed filters on our web-site.
Q: Will the cap work with 2.0 Brewers?
A: Yes with the included 2.0 ring coupon that you can get from My-Cap for free. The coupon is good for one 2.0 ring per customer.
