I too struggled with the same problem. I have tried the K-Kaps with varying success as they also tend to leak.
Below is what I now do. It sounds like a lot, but it really takes very little time. I read once that K-Cup coffee costs about $50 a pound if you figured it out. Yikes!! Not sure about that, but I'm a single dad with two kids in University and I really needed to trim a bit off of my budget. This was an area that could help.
What has worked best for me, is re-using the plastic K-Cups. After brewing, remove the K-Cup, let it cool, peel off the foil, then rinse it out and dry throughly.
When I want a coffee, I just grab one of my used, dry K-Cups add my favourite coffee. I cut a bunch of small foil squares ahead of time and I simple re-seal the K-Cup with a new foil top, crimping the foil highly around the edges. I have NEVER had a leak, it works wonderfully.
Some argue that this defeats the convenience factor of the Keurig machine and I can't disagree, it does add a little extra work. At the end of the day, I needed to save a little money and re-using each K-cup 4 or 5 times really saves money. If I am pushed for time, I use a new K-Cup, but most days, I use a used one.

Click this link. It will take you to ebay and a new part that fixes My K-Cup leaks and other reusable K-Cups like Ekobrew Solofill Cafe Cup and EZ Cup. It's only $2.79 and guaranteed by money back and return postage paid.

If you use Cafe Cup brand cups, there is a removable fitment in the lid that has the needle opening in it (half sphere perforated basket below it). If the fitment is missing causes leaking and there is no way to fix it except replace the fitment or entire cup if lost like mine was. For other cups I found a washer behind the needle seal did the trick.

Hi suzshark
Yes, costs and prices to sell and ship the "stop k-cup leaks" part has gone up a lot since January 2015 when the retail price was $2.79. But hopefully the fix will work for you so your results will be well worth the price. And if you don't get good results, you can return the part for a full refund including return postage.
