French press is the best way. |

Wife bought the 550 model 2.0 a few days ago. Cut & paste for the win. The wife originally cut a section of the top off that had the markings on it and placed it at 9:00 o'clock on the generic lid. worked like a charm, took about 30 seconds to do.

See my post. The 2.0 machine will work with every "Keurig Brewed" cup that's out there. Even the ones that were out before the 2.0 was introduced. This isn't true either. They have to be made compatible with the 2.0 ones. Old Keurig K-cups won't work. |

I just went into the pantry, and the Keurig-brewed tea that my wife uses isn't marked with the required markings around the rim of the cup. The coffee pods are (they were bought 3 months ago). I stand corrected. |

I'm waiting for the "AVERY" LABEL template to make your own Keurig compatable/DRM compliant lables. Print, peal, and stick......
What do you think??? Actually, I think you only need to use a small piece, just where the sensor is.... |

After doing some reading, they started the DRM because the patent on the K cup expired just over two years ago. I recall there being tons of new options around that time, so it all makes sense.
Basically, it is Their attempt to keep a hold on the market and lock competitiors out. No worries though as their will be other companies that will make machines with no DRM that, chances are, work better anyway. They need to adapt or die. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It's one of the shittiest DRMs I've ever seen implemented. Pretty much on the level of the early "copy protected" floppies. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: DRM on a fucking coffee maker. Now I've seen everything. Well, almost everything. It's one of the shittiest DRMs I've ever seen implemented. Pretty much on the level of the early "copy protected" floppies. They couldn't do something that would make billions of existing K-cups useless. Give it time. They'll start chipping their cups like printer manufactures do to ink cartridges. That is if they don't go bankrupt because of consumer backlash. |

It all depends on whether they change course. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: THEIR PRODUCT THEIR RULES Very true. They own the patent on the K-cup though right? That's what I think is sort of funny... they obviously licensed it out, and now they are upset that it's the "standard" and other manufacturers are beating them out with better cheaper coffee. I don't think it will last long though, as word gets out they are going to see a sharp decrease in sales and we'll likely see cheap hacks for it that permanently disable it.

I don't think it will last long though, as word gets out they are going to see a sharp decrease in sales and we'll likely see cheap hacks for it that permanently disable it. The Patent expired Sept. 2012, it was granted in the 1990s. This is just an attempt by Green Mountain Coffee to keep control on the market, pure and simple. I read a bunch of reviews on Amazon about the 2.0, and they are overwhelmingly negative. People are sending them back left and right because their new system won't brew their old K cups and they can't use the My K cup basket. Yes, it is easy to defeat, but people are pissed on principle. And, BTW, when the new 2.0 came out, they raised their prices 10% or so, pushing the prices up to the "I don't think so" levels. There are other companies that make K cup brewers, so we should see Keurig/Green Mountain Coffee take a BIG hit in the coming months/years. As I mentioned before : Adapt or die. |

I have the Cuisinart. It's excellent, and I like it much better than the Keurig it replaced. More options, seems better made, and quieter when it recycles after a brew. It is in my office breakroom, going strong after 3 years of multiple daily uses. EDIT: this one, the SS-700 Quote HistoryQuoted:

A member here did a hack by cutting the scanned portion of the cup off an "official" k-cup and pasting it over the DRM-scanning eye. Pretty nice workaround. (Coffee wants to be free!  )Yeah, I don't want to mess with that. Fuck Keurig for this bullshit, I won't buy shit from them again. Several other manufacturers make kcup coffee makers. That's what I was asking, what are some good ones? I have the Cuisinart. It's excellent, and I like it much better than the Keurig it replaced. More options, seems better made, and quieter when it recycles after a brew. It is in my office breakroom, going strong after 3 years of multiple daily uses. EDIT: this one, the SS-700 I ordered that one from Amazon after reading all the reviews, thanks for the recommendation. Will post a review after I get it.
