Do Eco Cup pods work in Keurig?
The BetterBrew Eco Coffee Pod is compatible with Keurig machines, including the 2.0 versions, and many other single cup brewers. If you’re a K-Cup user now, these pods will work with the machine you already have–so you don’t have to run out and buy a new brewer.
Does a Keurig need a filter to work?

How bad are K-cups for the environment?
