The Keurig blues

The 2.0 does not recognize older k cups. We are keurig virgins.

HELP

Do you have any new k-cups that will work in your 2.0?

Try taking one of the new lids and put it on over the lid on an old k-cup.

I did try that. Did not work for me. Going to return it and get a 1.0 or maybe a different brand altogether.

After our dentists appointments yesterday we are enamored with being able to make a fast easy cup of anything but my current opinion of Keurig is lower than whale ****.

For other late adopters we got this unit because it came with a brew a pot option and we drink a lot of coffee. The single k cups are expensive. We did not know you can get more than one cup out of it.

I love my Kuerig I have had it for going on 5 years now.

Good thing to know is now is the time of year to buy your k-cups as they are always on sale at Kohls and Bed,Bath and Beyond so I buy up a ton of them using all the discount coupons both stores have out for Xmas.

For the rest of the year I just watch for sales or buy them at Costco.

I also you one of the reusable cups for regular coffee but I caution those that use it you need to grind your coffee a little course or you will get sediment.

Thanks. I did although it came in a four pack. Don't know why because I can only do one at a time. I just used one with a tea bag, worked well.

Oh yea, returned the 2.0 and got an older model.

I think the patent ran out on the overpriced K-cups. Now they are widely available and cheaper.

Did they really change the design of those? I have an older model.

Yes. From what I have read workarounds and lawsuits are in progress. I did not want to wait.

The real kicker is the 2.0 WILL NOT recognize it's own older k cups.

The older cups give an error message and a phone # to the oops hot line. I am not kidding.
