I used to have a Keurig but instead had a refillable filter - instead of pods I just filled the filter with whatever coffee I wanted. Still super convenient, easy for just one cup of coffee, no waste.

I've had issues with several of the reusable cups. Metals ones would let some particulate through, the paper ones would end up tearing.

Plus my experience when I owned a Kurig was not pleasant at the end, with exploding K-Cups.

I've used a plastic one for probably 2 or 3 years now. Came in a pack of two for about $20. Keurig even makes their own now, so it would likely work quite well.

My Keurig even came with the re-fillable cup. But only the 8-ounce size. I had to order the carafe size from a third-party on Amazon.
