    Use these to "perforate" one time around first and then cut
  

*by T***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 21, 2022*

As others have mentioned, these will not work "out of the box" as well as you might expect. However, after learning the right touch or technique, your success rate will go up to near 100%, and each individual cutting tool will last far longer than it says they do on the box.My trick is to "perforate" with them first. I place a cup into them and then press and release the cutting tool and then rotate the cup very slightly and repeat. I do this until I've gone at least a full rotation around. This will "perforate" the top of the cup. Then when I press the cutting tool and hold it down while I rotate the cup, it is much more likely for the bottom of the cup to come cleanly free of the top. If I skip the perforation step, then many brands of cups with very thin plastic will not maintain their structural integrity for long enough to really allow the cutting tool to do its job. As a consequence, you'll get about a centimeter of plastic that stays connected and is too flimsy to really be cut. You can easily cut the rest with scissors (or just rip). But if you do the perforation step first, this will hardly ever happen and it will be easier to remedy if and when it does happen.This cutting tool may work the best with Dunkin cups. I've had good success with Kroger cups too. The Keurig-brand cups sometimes are a little flimsier and so the perforation step mentioned above is necessary.Either way, this is MUCH nicer than trying to rip the foil off (especially when a cup is still piping hot) and dump the grounds out. I'm not convinced that the plastic in the Keurig cups actually ends up getting recycled when it hits the recycling facility, but I at least feel like I've done my due diligence... (that said, I guess using grounds with a reusable filter cup would be even more sustainable)

    Easy to use but not ideal.
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2022*

I’m happy I get to recycle most of the kcup but too much work to remove foil from lid. This gadget is great for cutting the top off the kcup and freeing up the plastic bottom for recycle. But the frustrating part for me is tearing the paper filter and grounds off the lid and wiping away stuck on grounds for compost, then still having the plastic lid with foil stuck to it that needs to be removed to recycle the lid, and rinsing everything. I end up throwing the messy lid away, thinking I’m at least conserving water. Wish the makers of kcups would come up with something more eco friendly.  The gadget is fine!

    Wouldn't use K-cups if I wasn't able to recycle the plastic!
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2022*

This gadget lets you 'disconnect the foil cover and the "bag of grounds" from the plastic cup on the k-cup.  I gave it 4 stars because it is a little confusing how to use it the first couple times.  I also discovered that it worked much better going one direction vs. the other.  It is not perfect...but I am REALLY concerned about all the garbage we are compiling, and being able to recycle to bulk of the k-cups makes a difference fo rme!
