    You are a hero in my book! My daughter came home for the holiday and wanted some Lemon Zinger Tea. I found that my Keurig wouldn't allow that pod to work. We tried another tea and got the same error message. Frustrated, I googled for ideas and found your video. My hubby bought mine last year for Christmas so I figured I would take the risk since the warranty is almost up. Followed your instructions and within about 10 minutes, I brewed my Lemon Zinger Tea! Thanks so much for posting this. It's obvious you have helped a ton of people. If you watched this video and fixed your Keurig, make sure you give him a thumbs up too!

    Keurig 3.0 will probably require you to connect to the internet and each pack will have an individual serial number.

    Had my first Oops with a large K-cup pack that came with this machine. Right when I wanted to brew extra cups for my guests. Ooops? I call the number that was shown on the machine, the gentleman was more concerned with me not registering my coffee pot than the problem of the machine and pod they sold me. He said the only fix was he could send me a replacement pod. As though that would help me with my guests tonight. Thank you sir for this fix, Keurig told me there was nothing they could do. Can you imagine, corporate America lying to me? LOL

    my elderly parents love their keurig but have been having trouble brewing keurig pods from older lots, this vid summed the fix up in a succinct and easily relate-able manner for them, now they can brew what ever pods they want, plus my dad gets a kick out of rebelling against proprietary BS

    I work for keurig and I just want you to know I did this exact trick 10 minutes after we received our first office brewer before they hit the market. I now keep a spare lid on hand for this reason. Especially since they don't stock us with 2.0 kcups, but they gave us a 2.0 brewer. Glad to see there's other people out there with enough common sense to figure out how to bypass this. I hope this comment doesn't buy me a ticket out the door haha.

    Just uploaded a much easier permanent fix that allows all including the carafe. Simply take the top you cut pull the rubber grommet down that is on the needle. Place used top up the needle using original puncture hole. Replace rubber grommet and your permanent fix is completed. Seriously its truly that simple. No tape, no epoxy and doesn't void warranty. Enjoy

    Our old Keurig died and we got credit toward a new 2.0. We found out all our non-Keurig cups wouldn't work. The wife was just ready to throw out about 30 off brand cups and I ran into this hack. It works great and saved me about $15.00.

    Had no idea this was even an issue. I own a Mr. Coffee Brewer licensed by Keurig, so ALL cups work in it-Old & New Keurig, store brands, off brands. Sad day when we have to hack into a coffee machine! I'm warning all my friends who are thinking of buying a K-Cup brewer to AVOID THE 2.0! Great video, & the background music adds charm. I encourage all to post a link to this on Keurig's Facebook page!

    I just bought a new 2.0 to replace our old unit that broke after many years of use and we had about 80 K-cups left. I was really surprised to find out that our old cups are not compatible with the new Keurig 2.0. Thanks for the video! Now we can use up our old K-cups

  • @PhilipRaymond
    @PhilipRaymond 10 років тому +7

    This is among of the best and quickest explanations of a DRM work-around. Kudos! An observation/suggestion: If you have family members who prefer different base-brew settings (for example, if someone wishes to brew tea or hot chocolate rather than coffee), the placement of a DRM ring up near the camera will permanently instruct the Keurig 2.0 to tune itself to coffee...
    I propose an alternate solution: Create a coded ring for the beverages that your family consumes the most. That is, simply cut them from products that use the preferred brew settings. Then photocopy & LAMINATE the rings into plastic with a cap-formed shape to sit atop and hug an older K-cup or even a refillable My K-cup type appliance.

    I found the newest model of keurig in its original box on the side of the road! After examining the contents realizing it was a new machine never been used I realized shortly perhaps maybe this is why the consumer put it out to begin with! However thanks to this clever video I found the workaround and I'm now the proud owner of this brand new machine, just wanted to share

  • @janetwoodville3643
    @janetwoodville3643 10 років тому +2

    one lady bought a solo fill at Target and put a partial label on it and it worked. She can now use her own coffee grounds. When Keurig come out with their 2.0 it was not considerate to our wallets. Coffee cost enough as it is. Their coffee machines cost plenty. I think they make plenty of money.

  • @Chaucer410

    I have a Keurig view with an adapter that you an also refill with your own coffee. No way in hell I'd be doing arts and crafts to make a cup of coffee. Kind of takes away the "convenience" part. The thing would go back to the store first.

But thanks to you, I now don't have to make the trip back to the store to return. :D

I followed the directions and cut out the "white ring" and perm glued it to the top of my brew basket and Voile it works. Thanks so much or the help! Now I am enjoying both K-Cups and my own coffee again. Deb W

    San Francisco Coffee has developed the "Freedom Clip" which actually clips into the rectangular box. However it tends to fall out so my next step is to epoxy that bad boy in there for a permament fix. Kurig apparently doesn't believe in freedom. The machine clogged after a month as well. The paper clip trick worked for that though. Shesh Kurig maybe focus on making a machine that doesn't clog after a month of use instead of trying to control what coffee we purchase!

  • @kimberlym2798
    @kimberlym2798 7 років тому +1

    By locking their product, the company controls when/how often you have to replace your older one, what after market add-ons you use ... etc.

    I too enjoy my Keurig 2.0 which was a Christmas present to myself. I bought the reusable Purple cup from Amazon. It worked great....but 3 months later when I decided to try out a Keurig cup of Chai Tea, nothing came out of the unit into my cup. I tried again, then a 3rd time. Electronically, everything functioned fine. I took the housing out and something rattled!!! It seems that wonderful little purple recycle coffee filter broke off the rear needle which punctures the Kcup and allows water to flow through and brew. Now I know that the brewing process isn't Rocket Science, but never in my life would I have thought that my needle would break off!! I'm currently searching for a replacement housing for my 3 month old Keurig! Beware of how you place that reusable Kcup in the housing unit. ☕️😟

    45 times gilded Redditor here,
    You do realise you can just get coffee and put it in a mug, then put hot water over it right? What you've done is made an overcomplicated solution to a non complicated problem. As a moderator of /r/lifehacks , i can tell you the solution for caffeine is even simpler than this.
    Mountain Dew.
    This beautiful nectar is euphoria to the toungue. It requires no preparation, no cellotape or any rain dances at all. It goes great with doritos and makes you look like a classy gentleman rather than some plebian that coffee does. Ask any redditor (intellectuals) and they will agree with me that you shouldn't be drinking anything other than mountain dew, it's just that great.
