Coffee in a K-cup is ground very fine. You'd probably need to regrind your coffee to get the same results from a reusable K-cup.

Yeah... that probably ain't gonna fly.

First of all: A truly capable grinder that can grind finely, with a consistent grind, is going to cost on upwards to $500 or so.

Anything less will produce, among other things, an effect we call "fines": Very, very fine coffee particles, dust really, that'll really clog up the works.

Secondly: Such grinders are designed to grind whole beans. Feed it already-ground coffee and you'll probably (almost certainly) get clogging and overheating in the grinder. And the re-grinding process will probably burn the grind.

Yes: I am something of a coffee geek

We used plastic type a while and then lid would eventually break from being folded back and forth at the hinge. Found some metal ones with no hinge and more holes everywhere. I like them better and assume they will last longer.
