First off the Ekobrew holds more coffee than the solofill. So if your looking for a more robust taste, this may be your choice.
But the biggest thing is grind size, to small and the keurig clogs, or comes out very very very slow! The coffee is also inexplicably weak. To course and the coffee flies out and is very weak. You need a grind similar to that used for a drip pot, medium grind works best, or slightly finer.
Also, DO NOT FILL THE CUP ALL THE WAY UP! Even on the Ekobrew there is a "max fill" line. Do not fill to this line. The coffee will bloom, and once again clog the machine, and water flow. Fill to a little below these lines.
Lastly, Do not pack the coffee, or tap it down to let the coffee settle to fit more coffee in. Once again this impedes the water and it clogs.
By using a medium-is grind, filling slightly below the max fill line, and just lightly pouring the coffee into the cup with no tapping, I've gotten a great cup of Joe.
Just my two cents
Happy brewing.
