I tried several reusable Kuerig devices and never got a cup of coffee I thought was remotely good. I sold my Kuerig machine 4 years ago so maybe the reusables are better now.I take the same approach, preferring plain-old black coffee. Never been much of a coffee drink guy. I usually make it in a 1L press. If I'm in a hurry I have some reusable inserts for our Keurig--load up with freshly-ground and pop it in the machine. We have a Clever Dripper, but haven't used it in a while, so it sits in a kitchen cupboard.
