Keurig coffee makers will implement DRM to block third-party coffee

94 105 March 3, 2014 at 06:11 PM in News (4)
I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place. But I know a lot of you love your K-cups and I was wondering how you Keurig users would feel about this. I'm unclear how they are going to keep the option open to brew in a Keurig with coffee grounds, unless they are cutting that out, too. Maybe if enough of us raise a stink, they will backtrack? It has worked before on other companies.

LOL. K-cups are already too expensive, this will just make the prices even more absurd. The coffee also tastes like burnt plastic. I'll stick to french press for 1 or 2 cup servings. Much better tasting coffee.

Wouldn't it be called "CRM" for Caffeine Rights Management or "cream"? Scratchhead

Maybe they should just make better tasting coffee pods. Dontknow

My regular coffee maker comes with a one cup setting. That is fine for me.

You're the one that likes peas, so I'll assume you're well-versed in the flavor of various types of donkey arse. Not me, I'm having spam, spam, spam, spam, egg, sausage and spam.


PS: when referring to foods, one uses the word "palate".
