Take used Keurig K-Cup and peel of foil once cooled down. Tap out grounds into a trash can or better yet into your compost pile. Pull out paper filter and do the same. Then have some Paraffin Wax melted in a pot on the stove. (might want to use a pot you don't like for cooking anymore). Have wicks ready cut to size. Take a little Pam cooking spray and spray a quick shot into the clean Keurig K-Cup. Carefully pour the hot wax into the used Keurig K-Cup. Quickly while still molten wax, gently push wick piece into the center of the K-Cup and leave 1/8 of an inch hanging out the top. Let cool completely (about 20 minutes). Hold K-Cup upside down and slam into open palm once or twice untill wax candle pops out of K-Cup candle form. You should be able to use quite a few times! Saves money and saves K-Cup from going to the Landfill!

Re-Use Your Keurig K-Cups to Save Money

Reduce waste and save money by reusing your Keurig K-Cups

Keurig coffee machines are really great for making perfect cups of coffee every time. I highly recomend buying one if you are on the fence. I picked up my keurig machine at a thrift store for only $20. Before that it seemed a little crazy to buy an expensive machine and then be stuck with only the choices of coffee they offered at they're steep prices. Boy was I glad I found that deal because now that I know how great the system is I would easily spend $100 plus for another machine if I lost mine. The price for the K-Cups comes out to about .50 cents per K-Cup (really not that bad).

The Problem with the keurig coffee system is you are stuck with only they're K-cups they offer. If you like Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts brand beans to grind yourself you have the choice of the My-Cup for about $15.00. The taste of the coffee is not really good though. Some how the way it is designed it leaves you with a very watery version of a cup of coffee.....Yuck!

The best way I have found is to reuse and recycle the K-cups you have used already.

1. Peel off the foil and clean out grounds. (rinse under water faucet to clean well)
2. Let dry overnight.
3. Fill cup with finely ground coffee.
4. Make sure all foil is off rim and rim of K-Cup is dry.
5. Use Glad Brand Press and Seal and cut two, two inch squares.
6. Press and seal nice and tight and place K-cup in Keurig Coffee maker.
7. Brew as you normaly would with your Keurig Coffee Maker.

It's so easy a caveman can do it.

And you Save Money, And you Save the Planet.
