When your reusable K cup leaks coffee grounds it means that the coffee grounds have likely gathered in the exit needle of the Keurig brewer or you have used too fine of coffee grounds.

The needle should be an easy fix.
You can use a paperclip to clean out the exit needle, and remove the brew basket to wash it thoroughly with soap and water.
The blockage causes the coffee to back up in the exit tube, which causes the grounds to overflow into the cup.
