Why Does My K cup make weak coffee?
Most often, weak coffee is caused by a clogged needle. Keurigs have a needle in the top of the machine designed to pierce K cups and deliver water to the pod. In a healthy, functioning Keurig, the needle punctures the K cup, and then water flows through the needle into the coffee grounds, where it drains into your cup.
How much coffee do you put in a reusable K cup filter?
2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons
Reusable K cups generally hold 2 teaspoons to 2 tablespoons of ground coffee, enough for a single serving. Some K cups offer different fill lines, so you can brew different-sized cups of coffee. However, the standard for a typical 8-ounce serving is around 2 teaspoons.
How do you make a coffee pod stronger?

How do you fix weak coffee?
Weak coffee is caused by the water not being hot enough (apparently coffee is picky, just like its drinkers), the coffee-to-water ratio being off or the coffee not being ground properly. To fix weak coffee, add a little instant coffee to the cup and next time make sure you added enough coffee grinds to the filter!
Can you use Keurig without a filter?
You can use the Keurig without a water filter and use tap water, if you wish. I use filtered water from my fridge, or purified bottled water (which is more pure that tap water). It has more to do with eliminating any bad taste in the water than anything functional on the brewer.
