This is the simplest way to use a K-Cup without a machine: take the coffee grounds out and use them with any other brewing method. We like to use these coffee grounds in drip machines or pour-over brewers. Let&#39;s get started!

How to Use a K-Cup Without a Keurig Machine

K-Cup (or two)

water

Using scissors, carefully cut the foil lid off of one or two K-Cups.

Pour

Pour the grounds into a drip machine or pour-over filter.

Brew

Making iced coffee with Keurig machines is very easy: just brew a cup of coffee directly onto ice. Here are the easy steps and one tip to take your Keurig iced coffee over the top!

Coffee ice cubes (or regular ice)

Coffee ice

Make coffee ice (optional). This step is optional and will only work if you’re willing to wait a few hours, but it will make your iced coffee stronger. Brew a large cup of Keurig coffee and let it cool. Then pour it into an ice tray and let it freeze for several hours. This will keep your coffee from getting watered down as it cools.

Setup

Get your Keurig ready to brew as usual. Insert a tasty K-Cup and fill the water reservoir. If your Keurig has a strong setting, you may want to push that.

Fill a glass with ice. You’ll want to use a glass that can handle temperature changes. Don’t use anything fragile, since you’ll be combining hot and cold temperatures inside the glass. Fill the cup to the top, because some of the ice will melt immediately. If you froze coffee in step one, use your coffee cubes. You may need to remove the drip tray to get your cup to fit.

Brew directly onto the ice. Push the brew button and watch your Keurig make iced coffee!

Cream

If you drink your coffee black, you’re all done! If you add cream and sugar, now’s the time. Either way, give your coffee a stir to mix it with the ice.

Enjoy

That’s it! You now have a cup of delicious iced coffee -- brewed for you by your Keurig coffee maker.
