Love them!
These filters are wonderful. Before opening the package, the filters looked too small. But they actually fit quite nicely in the Eko-Cups that I had previously used but gave up on due to the mess with the coffee grounds. That was one reason I went back to the K-Cups. At my home we believe in recycling, so the expense and the environmental factor were a problem for me. I like my coffee strong so I was worried I wouldn't be able to fit enough coffee in them to brew the coffee strong enough. And it wasn't on my first few tries. So I tried filling the filter (very carefully!) BEFORE putting it in the filter. Then after placing the filter into the Eko-Cup (again, carefully), I take a teaspoon and tamp down the coffee. It ends up leaving less than 1/2 inch from the top. I'm still able to fold the top of the filter over the container. You must be sure to close the Eko-cup tightly. I haven't had any problems such as some of the other reviewers with leakage. After brewing, it's so easy to slide the filter and grounds out into the trash. I do rinse the removable piece that holds the cup after each use. I'm now brewing great coffee with no filmy silt in the coffee! Great product -- 5 stars.

Maximum Sized Amount, Easy Clean, Minimum Grounds, Very Versatile
In addition to CeeZee's review, here's what I've adapted. By putting the paper filter into the plastic holster before putting in the actual Keurig coffee grounds reusable filter, I maximize the amount of coffee grounds I can use for strongest and largest cups of coffee. The paper filter is too small for the Keurig supplied reusable filter, but putting the reusable into the paper filter as it sits inside the Keurig suppiied holster, it captures the debris that leaks through the mesh of the reusable, enough so that there is often no debris at all. And yes, tamping down the coffee results in a stronger brew. Strong enough to give up my Aeropress! Since I also use the Ekobrew reusable, and another gold reusable filter, I find that Ekobrew's sizing is versatile for all three of my reusables.

It works... if you know how to use it!
I've been through about 50 of these filters using my Ekobrew stainless steel k-cup and haven't had many problems. They do the job just fine. I think a lot of the bad reviews are just user errors or unrealistic expectations.TL;DR: There's a fit problem that takes two seconds to correct. You're using a Keurig, don't expect a strong cup of coffee. Don't over fill and press firmly on the lid to close. I'd buy again.Fit problem?-Yes, they're too big, but a slight press down in the center of the filter when inside the k-cup (before adding coffee) causes it to fold on it's own and I just press lightly along the fold to crease it into place (see pic). This MIGHT takes two seconds on a bad day.Coffee weaker, grinds/fines in cup?-I like my coffee black. I like my coffee strong. I also have a french press to achieve that when I want it. A Keurig machine flushing hot water through a tbsp of grinds for 30 seconds with no steep time isn't going to get you a strong cup; it'll get you a decent cup.-Now, if you have weaker coffee, what do you do to solve that? Add more grinds? Guess what that leads to? Overfilling your k-cup and filter, causing water to gush from the lid of the k-cup and grinds to enter your cup of coffee. It happened to me the first few times I used this filter as it took me time to learn where the optimal fill line would be. As other reviewers have noted, don't fill it with grinds past about half an inch from the top or it'll overflow. I usually fill mine to where the plastic cone under the k-cup lid pokes into the grinds, but that would only be useful for people with the Ekobrew stainless steel model. After that, press the lid firmly making sure the filter lip is pressed between the k-cup lid and side walls (see pic) and I almost get a suction cup effect. My lid doesn't open again.Keep these tips in mind and the filters will work just fine for you.

Prevents A Mess
I use my own ground coffee in a reusable filter in my Keurig, emptying can be a messy pain. These little paper filters fit perfectly and keep the grounds contained. Will always keep these on hand now!

Changed my coffee experience, BUT...
I've been using an Ekobrew for many years now - why did it take me so long to find these?? When I first started using my Ekobrew, the coffee "dust" in my cup bothered me but the coffee came out better than any other refillable pod at the time. I got used to it and can't see it in a black mug anyway. Little did I know, I was actually sacrificing flavor. These filters give me a really smooth cup of coffee now. LOVE THEM!!If you're purchasing these merely to aid in the cleaning process, they may not meet your expectations. Yes, pulling the filter out is faster than tapping the wet grounds out. However, you still have to rinse it because the grounds get on the lid and a few in the bottom. Rinsing doesn't take as long though and the mesh in the bottom of the pod seems to stay much cleaner overall. I did not deduct any stars for this because I purchased the filters to eliminate dust, which they rock at!FEB 21, 2017 UPDATE: This was initially a 5 star review. I've been using these for awhile now and there are a few things I don't like. First off, I don't understand why this Ekobrew filter does not properly fit an Ekobrew reusable cup. Having to fold the filter at the top didn't bother me at first because I got a tasty cup of coffee, but it's rather annoying in the morning when I'm not awake yet... oh yeah, because I haven't had any coffee. Second, depending on the grind I'm using, the filter is too thick and doesn't allow enough water flow through so I end up with coffee spilling out the top. It's not a lot, but something else to clean up. And no, it's not because I overfilled the cup. Overall, I recommend a paper filter but maybe a different one.

So convenient
I didn’t know what to expect because I hadn’t heard of these filters before so I was pleasantly surprised at how much easier it was to use them rather than washing out those reusable cups all the time.

Pretty good!
You do have to be careful if you want it to be quick clean, but overall pretty happy with my purchase.
