Sorry I cannot watch this channel anymore, this episode reminded me of the RIAA. I saw a video where a guy cut the top off a K2.0 cup, and used a thin rubber band to put it on top of the old Kcup. Same with the carafe pot. Pretty simple really, and not time consuming really. I mix yuban oragnic and various flavored teas and coffee's! This new system is not friendly, removes choice and has raised the cost due to DRM tech.
Dude here is the problem, I just wanted the older Keurig coffee makers to safe money with the My K Cup. But in my area all they are selling now is the New 2.0. So with a little hot glue every other month so I can use a My K Cup. And in regards of warranty all the ways I have fund to bypass the "DRM" does not effect the Coffeemaker it's self. So how could they find out your using a NON 2.0 Cup? Unless you have a issue of telling everyone everything and you tell Keurig you used a non 2.0 cup. They cannot find out.
Thanks for the video - I had never seen your website before now. A few thoughts: 1) Someone else said it - holy constant panning, Batman! 2) Keurig has a long-time relationship with Costco, and I believe other membership warehouses. For Costco members, it makes sense to buy the Keurig and then "trick" the sensor if necessary. Buying through Costco, you usually get a generous sample pack of K-cups and sometimes extra accessories with the Costco-sold packaging, and at a cheaper price than most other places. And Costco's return policy is "if it breaks, bring it back - no time limit". The catch is they don't usually sell anything but Keurig machines for single-serve coffee. So...in this case, it does make sense to buy the Keurig and deal with tricking the sensor, rather than buying a 3rd-party k-cup compatible machine.
Yes, crazy. Spoken like a Keurig rep. This is not helpful at all. The workaround hack took me 2 minutes to do initially, and now I can use my large stock of k-cups that otherwise wouldn't work anymore. No, it won't break my machine. No, I'm not worried about voiding my warranty. No, the coffee doesn't taste any different than it did before.
We appreciate your comment. Also I think you need to watch video one more time thought :). We are not affiliated with Keurig and if you watch video to the end you'll actually see that we don't recommend Keurig 2.0 if you don't like this restrictions. You can hack Keurig 2.0 but why just don't buy a brewer which will do everything for you without hacking? Like BUNN MCU or something else? Hope this works for you. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com.
Coffee Maker Reviews - Aromacup.com what a sorry excuse for a website .... quit telling us your "not affiliated with Keurig" ... you really sound like pathetic Keurig "fanboys"
You are not crazy. The main reason for the DRM is not to block out the unlicensed K-cup. It is there because Keurig wants to ensure the beverage of your choice will be brewed exactly the same each time.They spent a lot of time on the brewers' consistency so that consumers can have the best experience. The second reason is that sometimes, the unlicensed K-cups can damage the brewer because they don't have the right design. When this happen, the customers wouldn't go to the company which they bought the unlicensed k-cups for help, they will go to Keurig and say "my brewer is not working". So it becomes Keurig's problem. Brian, you are definitely right about why it's a bad idea to bypass the technology. After all, the technology there is to make the consumers' life easier.
Thank you. This is was a Keurig decision. If it right or not will see. Great news here that customers have a choice and our job is to educate them :). Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
shaneskysarah, you can rest assured that Keurig's number 1 reason was DRM protection. Licensing and royalties represent a tremendous profit stream that Keurig is protecting with DRM. Now that they have expanded their premium coffee partners beyond Starbucks (Peet's, etc.), they have a good chance at success with the 2.0 DRM machine.
Shaneskysarah, I could not disagree more! these greedy bastards did this for one reason and one reason only!! Money! Keurig recognizes how much money others are making on their idea, which was the original intent of their machines, to capture an audience and be the sole supplier of their product. Don't be naive enough to believe a company is in business to do anything but increase profits, not supply and "experience".
that is the most Bullshit reason ... they didn't need to make the new machine "reject" the old coffee pods .... the consumer could have made the decision .. if the "new" technology offered a better cup of coffee ... the consumer would buy the new product without hesitation .....
John Lynch Yes, this reminds me of the personal computer printer industry. They now sell ink jet printers at a reduced price, and far exceed the profits by increasing the price of the ink cartridges that are the only ones to work in their printers. At lease Keurig could sell the coffee systems at a reduced price, and then overcharge me for the coffee. Tease me a little before you screw me. This change is not about quality, it is not about warranty, this change is a money grab.
One of the solutions is to get another coffee maker for your old cups? Or keep your old one around? I'm fairly ticked at Keurig about this, but, of course, it is mentioned on the box .... waaaaaay at the bottom .... that it only uses Keurig brand pods. Not a good trade just to have a color display and a clock. The fixes just aren't that time-consuming. When this one dies, I may go back to an old school percolator!
Question/Idea: What if you nabbed the K2V adapter from the Vue machine and taped the green foil dot from the K-Carafe/Vue packs to its side? You should then be able to brew your own Coffee/Tea via the filter and brew any K-Cup (WITH the K-Carafe/Vue settings at THAT) with minimal fuss. You'll need fold the dot up when inserting a K-cup/filter, then back down afterwards when inserting it, but the benefits just might out weigh the annoyance.
We appreciate your comment. Just want to make it clear that we are not getting paid and it's our opinion (eather people like it or not). Also I think you need to watch whole video one more time. We highly recommend to buy Brewer which will work best for you. You can hack Keurig 2.0 but why just don't buy a brewer which will do everything for you without hacking? Like BUNN MCU or something else? Hope this works for you. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com.
aromacup.com, I agree with you and I think you are right why go threw the trouble to get the 2.0 to work with the old K cups when you can still buy the older machine and use any k cup you like with out any trouble just as you stated. Then Keurig will be forced to make the 2.0 compatible or loose money because of low sells or no sells of the 2.0, but if people keep buying the 2.0 and do the work a round then Keurig wins. We got to hit them in their packet and not support something like the 2.0.
I just purchased a Keurig 2.0 and found a delicious Vanilla Hazelnut coffee that I purchased a my K cup reusable coffee filter. I read the instructions for installation, however, I cannot get it to work. Please show a video as to how this works. Thank you!
Here is my dilemma. I had a VUE brewer that stopped working 6 months in while still under warranty. The company is making good on the warranty, but they are replacing it with a new 400 series 2.0 brewer which will render my San Francisco Bay and other cups useless. So now I'm basically forced to buy the new ones as I just purchased the VUE brewer (which I loved) 6 months ago...what a shame.
I wanted to upgrade to the 2.0, but I have changed my mind now, I think they are too greedy for any more of my business. I will find something else. Any suggestions?
Let me get this straight... coffee makers now have version numbers (2.0)? And I have to be sure that the coffee I am buying is compatible with the version number of my coffee maker? I hope this is just a joke. What happens if I upgrade? Will my coffee maker be backwards compatible with my coffee? Does the 2.0 fix all the leaking issues with the 1.0? Should I get the 2.0 or wait for Keurig XP to come out next month?
It took an entire 5 minutes to circumvent and it will most definitely not void my warranty. I swear these guys are payed off. The whole "Keurig consistency" thing is total bullshit.
Is the new Keurig 2.0 cups BPA free? I LOVE this new technology...single cups while husband is working and a carafe while we are home together. But I am looking to use the "refillable" basket.
Samantha Elkins: A refillable basket for the carafe like a reusable and washable type of filter? Now that I know how to hack the 2.0 especially so that I could use my reusable and washable K-Cup filer this is the only thing preventing me from buying a 2.0 since my whole family gets busy and we forget to buy K-Cups a lot of times so we just use a reusable filter and loose ground coffee. Otherwise if we need to make more than one cup at the same time we just use our traditional coffee brewer which is usually every morning.I don't know why people haven't make a reusable and washable filter for the carafe yet when it's obvious to almost all the people who know about Keurig how to hack the 2.0 because for sure they really would earn a lot of money from that.
The only reason I would get a 2.0 is the ability to brew a craft. But I think I just keep my trusty old Mr. Coffee for when the need to brew a "pot of coffee" rises. And my Keurig B60 for day to day use.
So how much did Keurig pay you to do this youtube video? That system is the most idiotic thing I've ever seen. They want to sell [overpriced] coffee maker and overpriced cups that go with it... call me silly but people do NOT like being told what they can and can't do with something they buy and own... idiotic. I'd just move to a different company... simple.
They paid us 1 Billion dollars cash :). Hello John! Did you see whole video? If you see whole video you'll see that we said exactly what you said "just move to a different company". Next time please be objective before you make posts like this. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com.
"Its inconvenient and time consuming!" Pfft. Maybe Once, but once you do it, you don't have to do it again. I have an older machine right now. If I have to get a new one, I'll be bypassing the sensor so I can use it the way I WANT to use it. My Microwave doesn't tell me I can only use Stouffer's, my fridge doesn't tell me I can only keep Coke in it, and my car doesn't only accept BP gasoline. The coffee machine shouldn't tell me I can only use brand X coffee. This is why I stopped buying music and only copy it now. Enough with "rights management"... very greedy and underhanded, Keurig!
Wow, none of your reasons make sense. Reason 1 (takes too much time): There's a very simple 1-time fix and forget it that takes very little time. No need to fondle with every "old" cup. Reason 2 (Warranty): Whoa, my 1 piece of tape will void my warranty? I seriously doubt it. Reason 3 (not getting a great cup/special selections numbers): "Fixing" your machine still offers you these options. In fact, by design, some packs will choose these settings for you, but a "fixed" machine will offer you options -- a plus in my book. Reason 4/side note (choose the right machine): The only selling point of the version 2.0 is that it will take all kinds of packs. How does it make any sense to keep 4 or 5 coffee machines on hand?
Thanks for sharing :). What make sense is to buy the Brewer which serve your needs :). If you happy with it then keep it. We thinks it's great brewer but restriction is not great. So if you want to use Non-Keurig K-Cups or make your own coffee with Keurig 2.0 yes you can hack it or simply buy another brewer which will do all of that. You don't buy Semi truck to drive to work or do you? Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
Single Serve Coffee Maker Reviews - Aromacup.com You're right... and I think for most people that buy the 2.0, the need to brew different Keurig sizes but only have 1 machine on their counter is the "need" that it serves. The fact that the design doesn't permit to brew your own brand, or use old cups is a limitation that wasn't anticipated... unless of course, you've been watching these videos ;)
Neveah Robaut Thank you Neveah! That why we are here :). Just want to make it clear. We are not affiliated with Keurig at all. In fact Keurig don't like some of our reviews and videos :) But our goal is to educate consumers so they spend they money wisely. At same time we hope that Keurig will listen customers and give them what they really want. I personally see this as opportunity for other companies to jump and make coffee makers which will answer needs for consumers. A lot of companies already making K-Cups after patent is expired and here's not way Keurig can stop it. As always enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com.
Isn't it only time consuming once? I've only watched one 2.0 hack video but it seemed like a do it once and you're done type fix. Unlike the CBTL reusable pod "hack" where it's every time you make a cup of coffee.
I have close to $100.00 in coffee that will be unusable in this machine. The machine was sent as a replacement by them. It was their choice of a machine for me, not mine. Please... There are lots of people who have SUV because they want the off road or snow option but don't go off road all that often - they just don't want to get stuck. Like me with this machine. We want options. Here is a almost permeant hack that takes 2 seconds and will do no damage. If you do have an issue and need a warranty, take the magnet out. As for DRM they almost always ONLY befit the person or company who made software. Get the stinking lawyers out of my cup! Ultimate Keurig 2.0 Hack! All menu choices unlocked and for your use!
I was really excited about this machine when I first heard about it. But really why would you want to brew a pot if you got it for a single cup in the first place? Also whats up with the DRM?? are they afraid im going to buy pirated coffee?! Geeze... I bought a k cup system and liked it so much I went and got the rivo system. I really liked my first and second machines so much that I was thinking about getting this machine, I truley belive in brand loyalty but the DRM really turned me off... looks like I might look into another brand for my single cup coffe maker. @Kuerig.
Thanks for sharing. We also not happy with this and a lot of people around. But great news is that you can use other brewers. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
Use ANY K-Cup or Vue-Cup in Keurig 2.0! Very Convenient & Permanent Hack and Fix. No time @ all, easy breezy & you can still use warranty because no ones foolish enough to tell Keurig what they're doing in the privacy of their home :)
As far as the warranty? Buy your machine at Kohl's - hang onto that receipt. They have a return policy that can't be beat. No 30 - 60 day return policy. They will exchange it, no questions asked.
How do you know which k-cups in the store are compatible with the Keurig 2.0 machine? I have boxes of Gevalia and other coffees, all of which are not compatible now. This is very aggravating.
I think the easiest way (for me anyway) is to look for the Keurig logo on the box and a manufacturing date after July 2014. Most sites say January 2014, but other say July, so just to be safe...
Neveah Robaut I buy coffee in the store, just like I buy the rest of my groceries. Every single K-cup box has the Keurig logo on it. This could be the single stupidest decision I have seen a company make in ages. Watch their sales plummet. In the meantime, I am going to go buy a competing brand coffee maker. FU Keurig. You've lost a loyal customer.
Aravis Tarkheena I suggest a Verismo by Stabucks. Makes excellent coffee as well as espressos and lattes. It'll take any K-Fee compatible pod, but it's also apparently compatible to CaffItaly pods, used by Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL).
You want to look for a Black Rectangular Shaped Sign with a check mark on the box. It is usually near the bottom of the box. If you read the text on that sign it will tell you that it is compatible with 2.0. Those boxes with the Black sign are 2.0 compatible; those that do not have the sign are not 2.0 compatible. Simple as that.
Fact’s are is their should be Warring on the box saying you can’t use your older K-Cups or brew your own coffee. This 2.0 brewer is intently limited by design forcing you to buy only Keurig products. Got one from Costco this week and it’s going back. Keurig’s philosophy trying to trap you in buying only “authorized” K-Cups will backfire because it limits choice, flexibility and burns currant owners who have older style K-Cups. This will be an epic flop!
It takes less than 10 minutes to permanently hack it so it will take any cup including the Melitta e-filter (the best one on the market believe me I know I tried them all).
Well, when our Keurig dies, I won't be buying a 2.0, that's for sure. Why in the world would Keurig go proprietary at this point? They will lose customers.
Just got it for Christmas. I'm getting the oops message with the sample cups that came with it. WTF? Returning it tomorrow and I'll get one that doesn't have this anal feature.
So. I am now supposed to take back the 100 k cups I got from Costco thinking they would work in my 2.0 machine and not be pissed off by the waste of my time and effort? Kerrigan is at fault here and you are making excuses for them. Delete your video!
What a waste of time, the title implies you are going to show how to use any k-cup with the Keurig 2.0 but you never do. You just tell me to go buy another piece of gear if I want to use them or suck it up it's a waste of my time. Thanks for deciding for me what I should spend my time doing. Oh and stop panning the video and zoom out so you aren't cutting your face off from the screen.
I agree Chris. The title was misleading. It's also not very time consuming to hack it once and use what ever K-cups you want. But the small positive at the end was showing a machine by Bunn that uses any K-cup. When I do videos I try to keep my titles as accurate as possible so someone won't hit on my video in a search and have it be a different topic by mistake.
Can we add on the end of this video "this message was sponsored by keriug" lol you only have to stick on there once and you will be able to use it with any kcups or reusable cup.
I was going to buy this for my mom. Glad I watched, you gave me three great reasons on why I shouldn't waste my money.
Sorry I cannot watch this channel anymore, this episode reminded me of the RIAA.
I saw a video where a guy cut the top off a K2.0 cup, and used a thin rubber band to put it on top of the old Kcup. Same with the carafe pot. Pretty simple really, and not time consuming really.
I mix yuban oragnic and various flavored teas and coffee's!
This new system is not friendly, removes choice and has raised the cost due to DRM tech.

So how could they find out your using a NON 2.0 Cup? Unless you have a issue of telling everyone everything and you tell Keurig you used a non 2.0 cup. They cannot find out.
Glad I went with the Tassimo T 65 brewer instead of the 2.0!!
Thanks for the video - I had never seen your website before now.

How to use any K-cup with your 2.0 brewer - should you?
ua-cam.com/video/HpArH10i6s0/v-deo.html
You can put a magnet in the bottom of the holder, it will disable the camera.
U can use Vue packs with the light green circle on them they even tell you what number to press on the 2.0
One of the solutions is to get another coffee maker for your old cups? Or keep your old one around? I'm fairly ticked at Keurig about this, but, of course, it is mentioned on the box .... waaaaaay at the bottom .... that it only uses Keurig brand pods.
Not a good trade just to have a color display and a clock. The fixes just aren't that time-consuming. When this one dies, I may go back to an old school percolator!

You'll need fold the dot up when inserting a K-cup/filter, then back down afterwards when inserting it, but the benefits just might out weigh the annoyance.

Hello I have a 5 year old Keurig machine can I use Tim Hortons K cups in it ?

Neveah Robaut Thank you Neveah! That why we are here :). Just want to make it clear. We are not affiliated with Keurig at all. In fact Keurig don't like some of our reviews and videos :) But our goal is to educate consumers so they spend they money wisely. At same time we hope that Keurig will listen customers and give them what they really want. I personally see this as opportunity for other companies to jump and make coffee makers which will answer needs for consumers. A lot of companies already making K-Cups after patent is expired and here's not way Keurig can stop it. As always enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com.
Coffee Maker Reviews - Aromacup.com i like your idea as: this is chance of other companies to jump in and make coffee makers
Isn't it only time consuming once? I've only watched one 2.0 hack video but it seemed like a do it once and you're done type fix. Unlike the CBTL reusable pod "hack" where it's every time you make a cup of coffee.
I have close to $100.00 in coffee that will be unusable in this machine. The machine was sent as a replacement by them. It was their choice of a machine for me, not mine. Please... There are lots of people who have SUV because they want the off road or snow option but don't go off road all that often - they just don't want to get stuck. Like me with this machine. We want options. Here is a almost permeant hack that takes 2 seconds and will do no damage. If you do have an issue and need a warranty, take the magnet out.
As for DRM they almost always ONLY befit the person or company who made software. Get the stinking lawyers out of my cup!
Ultimate Keurig 2.0 Hack! All menu choices unlocked and for your use!
I was really excited about this machine when I first heard about it. But really why would you want to brew a pot if you got it for a single cup in the first place? Also whats up with the DRM?? are they afraid im going to buy pirated coffee?! Geeze... I bought a k cup system and liked it so much I went and got the rivo system. I really liked my first and second machines so much that I was thinking about getting this machine, I truley belive in brand loyalty but the DRM really turned me off... looks like I might look into another brand for my single cup coffe maker. @Kuerig.
Thanks for sharing. We also not happy with this and a lot of people around. But great news is that you can use other brewers. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
Use ANY K-Cup or Vue-Cup in Keurig 2.0! Very Convenient & Permanent Hack and Fix. No time @ all, easy breezy & you can still use warranty because no ones foolish enough to tell Keurig what they're doing in the privacy of their home :)
As far as the warranty? Buy your machine at Kohl's - hang onto that receipt. They have a return policy that can't be beat. No 30 - 60 day return policy. They will exchange it, no questions asked.
I enjoyed the video, but the constant left-to-right panning is annoying. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. We'll consider this. Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com
How do you know which k-cups in the store are compatible with the Keurig 2.0 machine? I have boxes of Gevalia and other coffees, all of which are not compatible now.
This is very aggravating.
I think the easiest way (for me anyway) is to look for the Keurig logo on the box and a manufacturing date after July 2014. Most sites say January 2014, but other say July, so just to be safe...
Great question. See answer below :). Enjoy your cup, www.aromacup.com

I buy coffee in the store, just like I buy the rest of my groceries.
Every single K-cup box has the Keurig logo on it.
This could be the single stupidest decision I have seen a company make in ages. Watch their sales plummet. In the meantime, I am going to go buy a competing brand coffee maker.
FU Keurig. You've lost a loyal customer.
Aravis Tarkheena I suggest a Verismo by Stabucks. Makes excellent coffee as well as espressos and lattes. It'll take any K-Fee compatible pod, but it's also apparently compatible to CaffItaly pods, used by Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL).
You want to look for a Black Rectangular Shaped Sign with a check mark on the box. It is usually near the bottom of the box. If you read the text on that sign it will tell you that it is compatible with 2.0. Those boxes with the Black sign are 2.0 compatible; those that do not have the sign are not 2.0 compatible. Simple as that.
Fact’s are is their should be Warring on the box saying you can’t use your older K-Cups or brew your own coffee. This 2.0 brewer is intently limited by design forcing you to buy only Keurig products. Got one from Costco this week and it’s going back. Keurig’s philosophy trying to trap you in buying only “authorized” K-Cups will backfire because it limits choice, flexibility and burns currant owners who have older style K-Cups. This will be an epic flop!
Brian, I disagree with you. I think Keurig was being greedy and tried to push other KCup maker out of the market.
Where is sound. How to use cups looks like metal
Very informative!
Why did they do this and you should have titled this video
It takes less than 10 minutes to permanently hack it so it will take any cup including the Melitta e-filter (the best one on the market believe me I know I tried them all).
Well, when our Keurig dies, I won't be buying a 2.0, that's for sure. Why in the world would Keurig go proprietary at this point? They will lose customers.
Remember Betamax?
It's my machine, if I want to brew horse dooky, I will. Screw the fucking ink on those cups!
Just got it for Christmas. I'm getting the oops message with the sample cups that came with it. WTF? Returning it tomorrow and I'll get one that doesn't have this anal feature.
Solution folks: Cut green wire, life is good: ua-cam.com/video/ud7hA5eCY1M/v-deo.html
So. I am now supposed to take back the 100 k cups I got from Costco thinking they would work in my 2.0 machine and not be pissed off by the waste of my time and effort? Kerrigan is at fault here and you are making excuses for them. Delete your video!
What a waste of time, the title implies you are going to show how to use any k-cup with the Keurig 2.0 but you never do. You just tell me to go buy another piece of gear if I want to use them or suck it up it's a waste of my time. Thanks for deciding for me what I should spend my time doing. Oh and stop panning the video and zoom out so you aren't cutting your face off from the screen.
I agree Chris. The title was misleading. It's also not very time consuming to hack it once and use what ever K-cups you want. But the small positive at the end was showing a machine by Bunn that uses any K-cup.
When I do videos I try to keep my titles as accurate as possible so someone won't hit on my video in a search and have it be a different topic by mistake.
Can we add on the end of this video "this message was sponsored by keriug" lol you only have to stick on there once and you will be able to use it with any kcups or reusable cup.
