We all know that first sip of coffee is the best part of our day, unless you are not a coffee drinker, and that’s totally okay! But that first sip can make you feel even worse if you don’t have your coffee maker working, especially when you just bought a new shipment of K-Cups and have really good flavors!
It’s not really fair when your coffee maker is just as tired as you are, so when you are annoyed, just know we found a life-saving TikTok hack. This proves that when our coffee makers are broken, we have to make pour-overs instead.

A ‘pour over’ may sound intimidating, but it definitely is not! This is a super simple hack that all coffee lovers can do. Seriously.
So how does the hack even work? Basically, it takes a little more time and a little more patience. The creator of the video explains that you have to take a few steps to make it work. First, take a cup and poke a few holes in the bottom of the cup. Then put the lid on the K-cup.
Then you actually pour some hot water through the coffee K-cup. This step is probably the hardest part because it literally takes forever. Move slowly and don’t rush through this step at all.
Then you get your coffee!
The viewers of this video did not all agree on how to do it. To some people, it felt like this hack was just a sign to go get a new coffee maker. TikTok user haleighnohoez said, “I just got a Nespresso! It’s a sign to get one lol.” Another said they switched from Keurig to Nespresso and will never go back.
Some suggest that it’s possible to eliminate the small plastic K-Cup. One person proposed using a small sieve with a paper towel to hold the coffee grounds instead, while another comment described the time they sliced open their K-Cups and used them in a French Press.
One more commenter suggests simply purchasing a reusable K-Cup to empty with your preferred coffee grounds. We at Roasty Coffee fully endorse this option, as it will save money, reduce your consumption of single-use plastics, and provide a better, fresher brew. However, we also acknowledge that this TikTok hack is an innovative way to address the issue of a broken Keurig without the need to buy anything new.
Most importantly, the creator of the video confirmed that the hack was successful, although it resulted in a slightly cooler-than-usual cup of coffee.
This is the type of TikTok hack that makes people’s lives a little easier and improves the mood of the morning coffee drinkers.
For anyone still dealing with the Keurig and all its maintenance and hacks, Tasting Table has tips and tricks for getting those coffee pods to do their job and brew the perfect cup each time. Using quality water and keeping your coffee maker clean can elevate your cup of joe to the very best your K-Cups can offer.
The next time your Keurig finishes brewing, remember this TikTok hack! It could save your morning!
