Features


Heat Resistant Grips

Ekobrew heat resistant grips make it easy when inserting into your Keurig holster and removing after brewing.


Low Tamp Dispersion Cone

For an optimum brew, Ekobrew uses a low tamp dispersion cone. It gently and evenly soaks the coffee grounds ensuring optimal extraction.


Silicone Seal

Flexible and heat resistant, Ekobrew uses a silicone seal that withstands the degradation of heat that rubber seals cannot.


Easy Open Lid

With a simple flip of the thumb, the Ekobrew lid pops open and allows easy access to the chamber.


Heat Quality Mesh

Ekobrew features the heaviest gauge micro-mesh screen to ensure consistent brewing.


Flat Bottom Design

Our exclusive flat bottom design allows the user to set the unit on the counter for easy filling, resulting in less mess and less waste.


Deep Chamber & No Crevice Interior

Our deep chamber design allows for more coffee and more water. This gives the user ultimate control over the strength and volume of the coffee. The no-crevice interior makes clean up quick and easy.


Dual Entry Point

Dual entry point design means no removal of the Keurig filter holster. This allows the user a seamless transition between Ekobrew usage.

Single serve coffee is the fastest growing segment in the coffee market today. Even though the consumer gets a high quality, cost-effective cup of gourmet drip coffee, many have voiced stark criticism about the blind eye that is being turned toward the environmental impact of the trend. Keurig, owned by Green Mountain Coffee, is the driving force behind this burgeoning market segment. This year alone over 5 billion Keurig K-Cups will be sold, used and then discarded by consumers. Most of those non-biodegradable plastic-and-foil K-Cups will end up in our landfills.

Eko Brands is a Seattle based company determined to be ecologically responsible in the single-serve coffee segment. Because of this conviction, the Ekobrew, a reusable filter for use with Keurig single cup coffee brewing devices, was born. The Ekobrew allows you to brew your favorite coffee in a single-serve size without the environmental impact of standard k-cups. Just one Ekobrew filter can prevent hundreds of plastic k-cups from being tossed in the waste per year.

Even the packaging of the Ecobrew reflects Eko Brands' commitment to environmentally conscious practices. Ekobrew could have been packaged in one of many ways. It could have been packaged in non-biodegradable plastic - but that doesn't do a lot for saving the earth. It could have been packed in a cheap, disposable cardboard box. Instead, Ekobrew reusable filters come in attractive, high quality canisters that can be used to store or carry your Ekobrew. What's more, they are 100% biodegradable.

Directions

Brewing

Four Fundamental Brewing Rules

The Ekobrew unit works on the same principles as the best espresso coffee machines. Optimum extraction of the best single serve drip coffee is a product of the perfect grind combined with the perfect amount of coffee to achieve the ideal coffee extraction.

By following the basic fundamentals of coffee brewing, you can use the Ekobrew unit to create the perfect cup of drip coffee. The “perfect cup,” by definition, is based on the unique preferences of each and every user. Coffee is not bound by a one-size-fits-all solution, and neither are you. The Ekobrew unit can brew 8, 12 and 16 ounces of fantastic brewed coffee in your Keurig machine. Within those volume preferences, there are a myriad of coffee strength tastes as well.

To become your own coffee-brewing expert, you need to know the Four Fundamental Rules of coffee extraction to find your own perfect cup.

Pump Pressure

The pump pressure on your Keurig machine does not vary. That is to say even the most sophisticated coffee machine cannot adjust to account for external variables.

Volume

The amount of ground coffee you use will vary depending on your taste. The more coffee, the bolder the taste.

The Fill Line.
Find your unique fill line. Just because there is a maximum fill line on the Ekobrew does not mean that you should necessarily fill it to that line. That line is meant to accommodate the maximum amount, such as making a robust cup of coffee or a larger quantity cup of coffee.

Freshness

The fresher the coffee, the better the taste will be. Once coffee is ground, the exposed surface of the coffee increases and so will the deterioration rate of the coffee.

The Grind

The coarser the grind, the faster the water flows through. The coarser the grind, the more coffee needed to accommodate the same extraction result.

A Fine Grind.
A finer coffee grind will allow water to pass through at a slower rate. This gives you the option for a longer extraction or a bolder taste. However, if the grind is too fine, this will result in the bogging down of the flow rate and, in some cases, will cause a back flow in your machine causing it to shut down.

A Coarse Grind.
A courser grind will allow the water to pass through the coffee faster but may not exploit the coffee grounds to the fullest extent. This gives you the option for a quicker or milder cup of coffee.

Grinders.
A chop grinder will never achieve the uniformity of grind required for consistent brewing. Water will find the path of least resistance and, as such, will exploit some grounds more than others. A commercial or higher end home burr grinder will achieve a greater consistency of coffee particulates and result in a more even, smooth and full extraction of the coffee.
