The My K-Cup was incredibly disappointing. After buying (and loving) my Keurig B40 Elite, I was excited at the prospect of no longer having to shell out 50 cents for mediocre K-Cups. However, the My K-Cup was so bad that I would gladly pay a small fortune for every cup of coffee to never have an experience with it again. After washing it eight times and soaking it in various products, it still smelled the way it did when it came out of the box-- strongly of chemicals and plastic. This would be fine except that it also made my coffee taste like plastic. If you have ever tasted weak, plastic-y coffee with grounds in it, you will understand my pain. This did not get better with time. I have now had the My K-Cup for several months and, like a fool, I keep hoping that if I wash it enough, it will stop making things taste like petroleum. No luck yet. If I were you, I wouldn't risk it.
