But success has apparently twisted their perception of appreciation and humility. Keurig thinks that their customers need to be protected from the evils of using any coffee, tea or hot cocoa for which the maker did not pay licensing fees for the privilege of compatibility. To restrict the use of equipment owned by their customers, they have added slick spyware to peek on their customers after they buy a machine! Imagine a car that tests each tank of gasoline--not for quality or compatibility, but for legal compliance with a licensing authority. Or how about a Samsung TV that blocks any program that fails to include a broadcast license from Samsung? That's what Keurig has done. But it is *HOW* they do it that is really troubling... Keurig has placed a spy camera INSIDE the brewer (no kidding!). Using DRM technology (Digital Rights...

Shouldn't have to fight for the right to make a cup of coffee Have to agree with the others that this device is a loser. I really like k-cup coffee but I don't want to be fighting my machine for the right to make coffee if my k-cup doesn't have a new ink marker on the foil top. Yes, you can "hack" it, but you shouldn't have to hack your own coffee machine and that creates other problems (like when wanting to brew a carafe but it's been hacked for regular k-cups). This is just nonsense and unless enough consumers stand up to it then they will get away with it. I highly recommend buying another machine that doesn't verify that you have the right to make a cup of coffee before making it. I read an article about how "Keurig has been busy striking exclusionary agreements with suppliers and distributors to lock competing products out of the market". Not good. Obviously they are hard at work trying to figure out how to lock out competition and extract more money from consumers since September 2012 when some of their key patents...

Coffee, cream and sugar, with a facepalm I have to be honest, I'm not sure what to say about the star rating on this. Taken by itself, the 2.0 series is a nice, if not strictly necessary, upgrade. The four-cup carafe capability is an interesting addition, although I'm inclined to think that it's a waste of effort if Keurig never bothers to bring out a My K-Carafe attachment. According to Keurig's website, it also supports Vue cups, which is mainly of use to people who bought into the Vue system. (If you did, I have no idea what you were thinking. Here's your way out.) Coffee is hot and appropriately tasty, and (hallelujah) the system is self-priming, which means no poking at the thing six or seven times when you haven't used it in a month. But that lockout thing... that's a doozie. The workaround is easy enough -- slice the foil off the top of a licensed K-Cup and put it on top of whatever you're putting in there, making sure the sensor can see the label band around the edge -- but it's the principle of the thing...
