We have one of the Keurig My-Cup reuseables. Tried it out over the weekend and thought the coffee was weak. Don't know about the reuseable you have pictured, but this seems to be a problem with the my-cups. Everyone's best guess is that the design of the my-cup is different than the k-cup and water is forced through the my-cup too fast.

I tried one of the fixes I found. Took a used k-cup, cleaned out the coffee grounds and filter, cut the lip off of it and put it into the my-cup before adding my coffee. I also used a really fine grind. The combination significantly increased the strength of the brew. It also clogged up the needle from the hot water tank and I had to clean that out.

Love to hear from anyone who has figured out how to make good coffee with the reuseables.
