They&#8217;re convenient and brew a fine cup of high-quality coffee. What many Keurig users don&#8217;t love, however, is the cumulative costs of purchasing the individual K-Cup Packs. Made of non-recyclable plastics, these single-use K-Cup Packs can cost upwards of $.75 a piece ($.50 if you&#8217;re a bargain hunter) and ultimately end up in landfills.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5408 size-full\" title=\"DorfHead\" src=\"https:\/\/answerconnect-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/DorfHead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"163\" height=\"199\">&#8220;Almost everyone that buys a Keurig unit gets buyer&#8217;s remorse rather quickly,&#8221; says David Dorfmueller, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-cap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My-Cap<\/a>. &#8220;And I was one of those. So I was determined to figure out a way to reuse the Keurig K-cup.&#8221; An electrical engineer armed with a Dremel tool, David hand-carved a plastic cap allowing him to reuse his K-Cup Packs ten to twenty times each. Thinking he may be onto something, he put one up for sale on eBay and was astonished to see it go for $25. &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing like selling a piece of plastic for $25,&#8221; recalls David. &#8220;My immediate reaction was, &#8216;Hey, I&#8217;d better make some more of these.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a little research into BPA-free plastics and some help with friends with manufacturing and injection-molding experience, David honed his reusable cap into a successful retail business. My-Cap has grown from that initial, hand-carved cap to a wide range of products designed to make the most out of single-cup brewers (including Keurig, Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, and Tassimo machines) with environmentally-friendly materials.<\/p>\n<p>David&#8217;s success is a great example of a keen eye combined with an unwillingness to accept the status quo. &#8220;It really was a market just waiting for someone to do something with,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I wish I could say I planned it and did the market research, but I didn&#8217;t. I just fell into it. It was a problem that needed solving, and I recognized it as a great thing to continue to do, and I did it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.my-cap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.my-cap.com <\/a> to see the full range of David&#8217;s products, and like their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mycapllc\">Facebook<\/a> page to stay updated on new items in the works!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coffee connoisseurs have many reasons for loving single-cup brewing machines like the Keurig brewer.
