Keurig’s K-Cup screw-up and how it capitulated

Glad to hear it. I'll buy a Keurig 3.0 when it comes out, with a smile in my face and a song in my heart, once they strip out the DRM nonsense. I'm happy to pay a company that can say "well that was dumb" and fix what was wrong.

Kinda hope they up the price, too, so their business can actually afford to keep humming along rather than doing the "razor-blade pricing" like this article says, since it sounds like sales of their own actual K-Cups isn't able to prop up their business as much as they need. They made a cool machine, and I'd hate to see them go out of business.

Owner of a little red plastic refillable k-cup, here, that I picked up at Target for like $5.

Considering my last brewer (gen 1) completely died after 7 months of use, and that was only using bottled water... I don't know if it was more expensive I'd consider buying another. I didn't buy a gen 2 because of the DRM.

The gen 1 we've had at work has lasted a year on tap water and half our floor using it, so far.
