You guys are super weird at phrasing things >_> Keurig just makes the machine, the actual coffee companies make their own K-Cups. You can also get reusable ones that you can fill with your own coffee grounds. Keurig likely licensed out the K-Cup patent and makes a buttload on royalties for every K-Cup sold. Only the "new" ones for the 2.0. The "old" K-Cup patent actually expired in 2012 which is the main reason why the Keurig system has so much more support than any of the others (and the machines are far cheaper than the Nespresso ones which also expired).

You can also get reusable ones that you can fill with your own coffee grounds. didn't Keurig implement effectively DRM on the cups though, preventing 3rd party cups (including reusable ones) from working in the newer machines? They did and it nuked their bottom line and their reputation. However you can still get the old machines that accept whatever the fuck you put in it. --- http://i.imgur.com/bbRWLI8.gif https://i.imgur.com/A0BErSV.jpg <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:890311796] in Hannity su...
