After trying g different things to get my keurig 2.0 working with different kcups I was finally able to get it working by using this video. Thank you so much for sharing. Definitely the best fix for this problem on UA-cam. ☕
This is my first and probably only UA-cam comment because of how useful this video is. I tried this and it worked on my older 2.0 model. I was certain I would destroy my coffee maker, but no, it did exactly what was promised. This guy deserves some sort of medal.
Just did this June 7, 2019 CUT THE GREEN WIRE!!! Works like a champ and now I can drink the Cuban coffee I brought back from my trip. Two thumbs up!!!!
If you open the next section where the display is connected you will see a wire harness that clips into sensor . I unclipped it not cutting any wires and it works perfectly! 😊💪
I saw another video before yours and it was the one where the guy said to tape the top on it and I thought what in the hell. I’m not doing that crap. And when you said pretty much the same thing. I busted out laughing. Cut the green wire. Works like a charm now thank you!
WOW!!! Thank you so much for posting this hack! My 3 year old machine decided to block me from switching it off with the oops message and I followed your instructions! BAM!! It works!! Thanks again!
I was frustrated because i didn't know the Keurig 2.0 requires specific K-cup. It took me hours to search solutions and i eventually found this you tuber Biggerhitsinc. You showed me how to solve the issues by cutting the green wire and it works great!!! Thanks millions
Bro what a life saver! I was at work first thing in the morning my kurig was not working I had been trying putting a second top on the k cup and it was not working and my coworker was laughing at me. I watched this video and my coworker came back to me drinking a nice cup of coffee…. Who is laughing now.
Did the hack. Wow it worked perfectly!! I have been using Green Mountain K cups for a while now and all of a sudden I started getting the OOps message. Thanks for the fix it is awesome.
So Keurig made it to where you have to upgrade your machine because it stopped reading the keurig branded cups. I was pissed and was gonna buy a different new machine until I came across this video. It worked and took me a minute to do. I was taping old lids on but now I don’t need to! Thanks!!!!!!
So not going to lie found my keurig at goodwill for $8.00. Bring it home get this error. Watched this video and it actually works. Not all hero wear caps ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much sir!!
Just performed the operation and am now drinking my coffee. Getting it back apart and back together tricky but it works! Yeah, thank you biggerhitsinc.
going to say thank you so much I was trying to descale mine and it just kept asking me did I want hot water and giving me like 2 oz of hot water. Your hack worked amazing you're the best!
All of the dislikes are just keurig employees ;) this saved a college kid who can’t afford the whole shabang. I will say my coffee tastes a bit weaker but i have no complaints for being able to use this hack. Oh, hope you don’t have a warranty, that went out the window.
Thank you for posting this tutorial. I avoided doing this for years and used the more basic and time consuming hack (k-pod lid removal-just peeled a lid off and applied it to a reusable cup lid/actual k-pods with two-sided tape). This definitely saved me the hassle of searching for specific k-pods in store and allowed me to use my carafe too. I actually got an oops error message for k-carafe pods that came with the keurig. Ridiculous 🙄. But, everything works now. I felt more confident cutting that green wire this morning. Thanks a bunch.
I’m partially colorblind and still figured it out with this video as a guide, although it was a 50/50 shot in the dark without knowing I had the right wire. Appreciate the help buddy
I had two “official” boxes of Keurig coffee from Costco that were giving me the oops message. Did this hack this morning at it works perfectly. Thanks!
My oops message became constant. What did I have to lose. My “green wire”. Was buried in a bundle of 20 plus wires. I brought it to the top, cut it, and back in business. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this! I am enjoying my first cup of coffee with k cups I could not use previously. Instructions were easy to follow. Very much appreciated!!
This was my 4th Keurig in many years, I hacked the machine using the red tape to use my own coffee without the throw away official kcups, it worked but was a real hassel, it finally would not recognize anything, was ready to throw it away. UA-cam to the rescue, took 5 min. to cut the wire, only problem was the crappy screws they use. Works great on every thing I put in it. Now to brew an expresso cup!!!!!!
You don’t even have to take anything off or even use a screw drive. Unplug the unit lift the top and use a flashlight to see the wires in the back of the unit. Worked like a charm my Keurig.
Oh I’m so happy! I was scared but it actually worked! I have been doing the “lay a piece of the proper pod lid on top of my reusable pod for ages but lost all my lids and can’t afford any more right now. This was great!!!
When my husband said he was going to do this. It really scared me but it works ! Thanks so much ! Lives will be spared. Momma can have a full coffee in the am. So I pulled the thing back to "hide the needle" duct taped it and could brew a pot of coffee too. Yaya
Phew! Am I glad I came across this video! Love my keurig, hate the Ooops message. Will definitely try this procedure. Thank you so much for making this video! :)
Omg I finally broke down and did this and cut the green wire ... and it seems to have worked. It was super easy and fast. My only issue was finding my green wire
I went h bought a factory refurbished 2.0 and took the top off to cut the green wire. Turns out the factory made ALL the wires black so you cant tell which one to cut. So went and bought a brand new Keurig Classic 50 at Office Depot. I didnxt have to do anything...not even tape a cheater label...because it brews ANY generic K-Cup...no problem. Love it, and I got it on sale. Was regularly 129.00 & I paid 79.00. 😁
THANK YOU!!!!!! Worked perfectly in less than 5 min. Now I can have good cup of coffee with my own custom blend. I was about ready to throw this machine out but I guess the INTERNET saved me again...LOL. Enjoying a great cup of coffee now and at a price that makes sense.
Thanks for the great video. Mine stopped working half the time even when using authorized pods. E-mailed Keuiig but no response. No problems so far since doing this hack. Even tried exact same pods that failed before and they now worked.
My situation exactly! Kept spending money on different boxes that said works in ALL keurigs but it didn't. Tried calling Keurig, just to ask why and got a person who took FOREVER just to get my simple info so I just hung up. Ya SUCK keurig. If I get an OOPS message on BRAND NEW AUTHORIZED PODS, ya SUCK! This hack worked like a charm!
Worked perfectly on my Keurig 2.0, wouldn't read keurig K Cups, could of returned it but that's a pain as well. The only thing is you can't store it in the down locked position as it flashes brew because it can't read if there is a K Cup in the holder. Just have to leave it in the semi opened position to keep it from blinking.
I'm not a violent person, but slamming that lid down every morning was making me feel awful aggressive. I even had reusable K-cups, but the machine stopped accepting them. I had to put it in just right, and put the lid down just so. Who wants to spend $12/year buying new reusable K-Cups? I tried this and it works! I still hate the Keurig, to many places to clean, and the maintenance is just insane, but at least I can keep using it till I decide to spend money on a single cup coffee maker without all the odd interior parts. Thank you for posting this fix!!
Thanks 🙏🏽 very much!!! I did it on a newer model. I knew there was a way but I didn’t know how. My hero!!!! Thank you very much again!!! Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe. ^_^
It worked! And most importantly, it works with the carafe setting. You technically do not have to unscrew - you can see green wire from the back through 2 slots (use flashlight). I still unscrewed. Use your fingers to expand the 2 pieces holding on the block at the back and use fingers again to expand out to put back on.
2020 version of the Keurig will all have green wires. :) Not sure how you found that green to be to the K-Pod authentication connectors. I tip my hat to you.
Thank You! The Italian Creme in the background was a sign your video would help me! Brand new Refurbished would not brew Original K cups??? You are the best!
this worked !!!!!!!!!!!! it took me less time than his video. Less than 4 minutes it's hacked Permanatly !!!!! Do this . But take your time, use # 2 head phillips, if you have it. but a regular screwdriver would work if it's not all stripped out. DO NOT BE LAZY AND USE A DOLLAR STORE SCREWDRIVER.
RIP to all of the Keurigs that died to figure out that it was the green wire 😂Also, I did this to my machine this morning and it worked perfectly! Thank you!!!
Against my husban's protest, I just did it this morning. Works and sipping delicious coffee now. You sir deserve a medal.
4 year old video still saving lives.

Wish I had found this video two years ago. I have thrown out hundreds of PODS. This hack worked perfectly for me THANKS!!!
If you open the next section where the display is connected you will see a wire harness that clips into sensor . I unclipped it not cutting any wires and it works perfectly! 😊💪
I saw another video before yours and it was the one where the guy said to tape the top on it and I thought what in the hell. I’m not doing that crap. And when you said pretty much the same thing. I busted out laughing. Cut the green wire. Works like a charm now thank you!
This video is about 2 1/2 years old and still saving the day...thank you!
WOW!!! Thank you so much for posting this hack! My 3 year old machine decided to block me from switching it off with the oops message and I followed your instructions! BAM!! It works!! Thanks again!
Worked on my 2.0. The green wire was on the other side of the cable, but cut it and now works. Very helpful video

Surprised the heck out of me! Works like a charm. Thanks a lot! Took around 5 minutes. Now I can brew my own coffee in my refillable cups.
I was so worried that this was going to break my machine, but it worked like a charm! Thank you so much for sharing!
you sir are my hero. lost a screw but hey, i already had a couple of those loose haha.
OMG! im shaking cause i need my coffee!! Thank you so much for this!!

I was able to just lift the lid and see the wires and was able to use a long scissor to cut that dang green wire! YAY 😁 THANKS 🙏
You don’t even have to take anything off or even use a screw drive. Unplug the unit lift the top and use a flashlight to see the wires in the back of the unit. Worked like a charm my Keurig.
I saw the green wire through the back. Great layer on the brilliant solution
Oh I’m so happy! I was scared but it actually worked! I have been doing the “lay a piece of the proper pod lid on top of my reusable pod for ages but lost all my lids and can’t afford any more right now. This was great!!!
That WORKS Thank you that saved me a new Keurig - THANK YOU !!!!!!!
This dude's a lifesaver! Cannot believe it actually worked!
With magnet trick I got the menu too.
Just did this. It allows me to use any cup. Best solution on You Tube
When my husband said he was going to do this. It really scared me but it works ! Thanks so much ! Lives will be spared. Momma can have a full coffee in the am. So I pulled the thing back to "hide the needle" duct taped it and could brew a pot of coffee too. Yaya
Still working?
Phew! Am I glad I came across this video! Love my keurig, hate the Ooops message. Will definitely try this procedure. Thank you so much for making this video! :)
Boom thank you!! Man I fought this thing for a long time. I had to dig for the green wire, but it was there. Confirmed this does work!!
You DA MAN!! Makes perfect sense..cut the infrared reader's wire..worked like a charm!!

Thank you so so much for this video. It worked and now we can make coffee again without the OOPS hassle. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
There is a green wire, but lots of black ones as well. Is this true for all the 2 0 s don't want to cut the wrong wire.
Works! Saved lives today. Good job.
Worked for my keurig 2.0 just tried it
Thanks so much! Just followed your tutorial and worked perfectly!!!
I felt like MacGyver doing this! You saved my life!!! I love the keurig but was pissed when i kept getting this message.
This worked for me, 2019 still going!
So easy and only took two minutes. Thanks a bunch.
I was ready to throw my Keurig against the wall. Thank you so much for this! Worked perfectly!
Worked for me. I have a 2.0 with multiple color wires. I cut the green and it worked
This worked!! Bro you basically just saved my life!!
a bit dramatic there aintcha?
Thanks for the great video. Mine stopped working half the time even when using authorized pods. E-mailed Keuiig but no response. No problems so far since doing this hack. Even tried exact same pods that failed before and they now worked.
My situation exactly! Kept spending money on different boxes that said works in ALL keurigs but it didn't.

Thanks dude you save me a 100 bucks. The MacGyver comment was hilarious.
Worked perfectly on my Keurig 2.0, wouldn't read keurig K Cups, could of returned it but that's a pain as well.

Just have to leave it in the semi opened position to keep it from blinking.
newfoundlander1965 can you explain that again for me please? Lol I don’t understand what you’re saying
Really does work mine wasn’t accepting any kcups then I cut the green wire and BAM works like a charm
Worked like a charm! A 2 minute fix.
I'm not a violent person, but slamming that lid down every morning was making me feel awful aggressive. I even had reusable K-cups, but the machine stopped accepting them. I had to put it in just right, and put the lid down just so. Who wants to spend $12/year buying new reusable K-Cups? I tried this and it works!

WoW!!! Thanks bro first comment ever and it’s for you! This trick work very well!!!! Thanks
With magnet trick I got the menu too.
Genius my man!! How did you figure this out??
Thanks 🙏🏽 very much!!! I did it on a newer model. I knew there was a way but I didn’t know how. My hero!!!! Thank you very much again!!! Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe. ^_^
Dose this still work?? Was going to get one
Ty so much for this video it worked for my keruig 😊
You are the freaking MAN!! Worked like a charm and all is now right with my world!
It worked! And most importantly, it works with the carafe setting. You technically do not have to unscrew - you can see green wire from the back through 2 slots (use flashlight). I still unscrewed. Use your fingers to expand the 2 pieces holding on the block at the back and use fingers again to expand out to put back on.
Doesn't work with carafe setting. Still only sees it as a single serve kcup
@@pwnskaterWe dn have carafe. It allows a reuseable Kcup, unsure on carafe
I cut the green wire and used a ziptie to hold the thing back, so I can use any refillable k cup,I never used them pre filled coffee ones anyway
Thank you!!!! It worked like a charm!!!
Thanks to you I can have my coffee again!!!!
2020 version of the Keurig will all have green wires. :) Not sure how you found that green to be to the K-Pod authentication connectors. I tip my hat to you.
Worked like a charm! Thanks for sharing :)
smart.. so good. easy.. simple.
thx for the useful information.
Thank you!!! Worked perfectly!!! took 2 mins!
Worked like a charm. Thank you!!
May 2019 this vid saved me lol hats off bro
March 2020 Thank You Sir! works 100%
What exactly does cutting the green wire do?? Is it literally just there so I can only buy keurig brand?
Im thinking it cuts out the sensor wire that lets you know what pod you are using
Hey I just did this and it worked. Thanks!
Thank You! The Italian Creme in the background was a sign your video would help me! Brand new Refurbished would not brew Original K cups???
You are the best!
this worked !!!!!!!!!!!! it took me less time than his video. Less than 4 minutes it's hacked Permanatly !!!!! Do this . But take your time, use # 2 head phillips, if you have it. but a regular screwdriver would work if it's not all stripped out. DO NOT BE LAZY AND USE A DOLLAR STORE SCREWDRIVER.
Jim Halbert freakin awesome
You are my hero, i was getting to the point of jumping on the damn thing, and braking out the old filter maker lol thank you, my hero lol...
Worked like a charm! Thank you so much!
Worked great, first time. Thanks for doing the research!
I have black wires and one red. No green. Any ideas?
Wow, it works!! Thank you so much!! :)

Worked like a champ!!Thank you for sharing.

With magnet trick I got the menu too.

I think the Keurig Elite will work with any cup. It's not a 2.0 machine
Dude! IT WORKED! Thank you, thank you thank you!!!
With magnet trick I got the menu too.
RIP to all of the Keurigs that died to figure out that it was the green wire 😂Also, I did this to my machine this morning and it worked perfectly! Thank you!!!
Oh thank god. i was just loading the .38 and thought, it's still too early to kill the Keurig.
Worked like a charm, 5 min. job.
