Tips for Best Performance

Ensure the pod is seated firmly—small misalignments can cause leaks or spillage .
-
Use medium–coarse ground coffee to prevent fines and reduce sediment .

Be cautious with short cups, as splashes are more likely; brewing over a larger mug reduces mess
Overall Verdict
If you're looking to save money, reduce waste, and gain the flexibility to brew any ground coffee, the My K‑Cup Universal Filter is worth it—especially for official compatibility and flavor quality. Just be sure to remove the red plug for MultiStream models, use the correct grind size, and watch your placement to avoid leaks.
However, if you own a Keurig Brew+Chill (2024) or want a stainless steel option, this isn't suitable—you’ll need a newer design or a third-party work-alike.
