The Bottom Line
The Keurig My K-Cup Universal is the brand-name option designed to fit all Keurig brewers. Unfortunately, you pay for the brand name as it's easily the most expensive reusable K-Cup but doesn't outperform other options.

Keurig My K-Cup Universal Overview

It's not just third-party brands that make reusable K-Cups. Keurig also makes their own versions.

After all, who knows Keurig coffee makers better than Keurig.

But be careful when purchasing a Keurig brand reusable K-Cup, because they sell three different types:

  • Keurig My K-Cup for Keurig 1.0 brewers
  • Keurig 2.0 My K-Cup for Keurig 2.0 brewers
  • Keurig My K-Cup Universal for all brewers, including the new K-Classic Series

The My K-Cup Universal is a four-piece assembly:

  • Filter basket
  • Filter holder, which the basket goes inside
  • Lid, which secures to the filter holder
  • Adapter, which snaps onto the bottom for Plus Series brewers

I can hear you asking the big question now:

"If Keurig makes their own reusable K-Cup and it's compatible with every Keurig coffee maker, why isn't it number 1?"

Primarily price.

The Keurig My K-Cup Universal (and their other Keurig 1.0 and Keurig 2.0-specific versions) all cost a lot more than the Delibru Reusable K-Cup.

Plus, Keurig doesn't sell compatible paper filters. You can buy them from other companies, but now you're using two different companies for one reusable K-Cup. It's almost always easier to go with the one company that does it all: Delibru.

Pros
  • Made by Keurig to fit their own brewers
  • My K-Cup Universal fits all Keurig brewers
Cons
  • Much more expensive than other reusable K-Cups
  • Keurig doesn't sell paper filters for use in their reusable K-Cup

Keurig K-Latte

Keurig K-Latte
Overall Rating: 82
The simpler of Keurig's two specialty beverage brewers, the K-Latte is a compact, entry-level way to enjoy both coffees and lattes from the comfort of your own home. (And without paying the Starbucks tax.)

Keurig K-Supreme Plus

Keurig K-Supreme Plus
Overall Rating: 90
The mid-range model of Keurig's 3 K-Supreme brewers, the Plus offers Keurig's largest water tank (78 oz), Temp/Strength controls, an Over Ice setting, and 3 programmable brew settings for an elevated K-Cup experience.

Keurig K15

Keurig K15
Overall Rating: 80
One of Keurig's original "Mini" K-Cup models, the K15 has a max 10 oz brew size with its "fill before each use" reservoir. Now discontinued, the K15 has been replaced by the slimmer K-Mini, which brews up to 12 oz K-Cups.
About The Coffee Maven

I'm Bryan but most people know me as The Coffee Maven. I grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts and received my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Providence College. My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. How did changes to water temperature or contact time affect its taste? Why do beans from Africa taste fruity while beans from Indonesia taste spicy? I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. Welcome to my site, and thanks for reading!
