Keurig 2.0 DRM Freedom Clip

While I applaud the spirit of the Freedom Clip, I have a better idea if you object to the DRM in Keurig's new product: Don't buy Keurig. There are plenty of alternatives. Why participate in the ecosystem at all if it means buying a product from a company whose products you object to? Buy a Mr Coffee if you have to have a K-Cup brewer.

Nobody should be promoting this inferior, environmentally disastrous product on this site, really. Makes terrible coffee, the pod design is not recyclable, and hot water + plastic is a bad equation both for coffee quality and for human health.<p>Edit to add: I do of course concede that DRM is evil regardless of context and must be defeated.

As someone who is not a heavy coffee drinker can anyone explain what the attraction of Keurig is without ranting about something dumb like &quot;Everyone&#x27;s a sheeple!&quot; or &quot;Because the masses don&#x27;t care about flavor!&quot;?<p>Is it because it&#x27;s quick? Or just hassle-free? According to some comments here their coffee pods also aren&#x27;t recyclable, which seems like it wouldn&#x27;t mesh well with coffee drinkers in SF.

Nice! Now if only we could finish reverse engineering the Tassimo barcodes..<p><a href="https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/3919/reverse-engineering-t-disk-barcodes-for-tassimo-coffee-makers/6851#6851" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;reverseengineering.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;3919&#x2F;...</a>

I like what they are doing. But my response to DRM coffee machines is basically this:<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bodum-Brazil-French-Press-Coffee/dp/B00008WU9F" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Bodum-Brazil-French-Press-Coffee&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B0...</a>

Every time this is mentioned, the discussion devolves into coffee aficionados saying this and that method of coffee delivery is far superior and it exasperates me.

Love that this is by the Rogers Family. I but their coffee is k-cups at Costco - at first out of curiosity and price, but now because I&#x27;ve found that it&#x27;s pleasant and helps bring clean water and education in their growing regions. Much like 3 Avocados, except for 3 Avocados doesn&#x27;t do K-cups.

Will be happy to replace my taped-on version with this in a few weeks. The fact that this is the company I already buy all my coffee from is quite satisfying.

This makes me so happy. If they get a C&amp;D, I&#x27;m sure&#x2F;hope the schematics are leaked for a 3d printed version.<p>In the long run, you can&#x27;t stop the signal, Mal.

Aren&#x27;t there different brewing temps&#x2F;times? Shouldn&#x27;t this have a little jog wheel on the side to select the possibilities?

Why does it brew in the absence of the DRM code? Why would you ever design the null test be equivalent to the success case?!

If you are getting your coffee from a pod, then DRM is the very least of your problems.

Wait, why can&#x27;t you cover it with tape?

Awesome

Wait gourmet-coffee.com is touting a means to deliver coffee from a pod machine?<p>ripped-abs.com shows how to make load pennies into their satchel-socks<p>turbro-touring.com shows you how to adhere inlet vent stickers to your fenders<p>There is nothing gourmet about the brownness that comes out of a Keurig

I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;m alone in think the only way I would use a Keurig system is if it was given away on Craigslist. I would then buy this devise that mimics their special ink, and buy a reusable cup. (I do see those little cups everywhere, along with plastic tooth picks. I know both products have a biodegradable units, but the ones I see are not biodegradable. Edit--I don&#x27;t know why I see the used Keurig cups. Maybe, I&#x27;m mistaken? I do see the Dentek tooth picks everywhere, and Jonny you should be ashamed. I guess that sailboat in high school wasen&#x27;t enough? Oh yea, I never see the biodegradable picks--because they are more expensive. Lower the price, and do the environment a favor, before government steps in and bans your product--like Pull Tabs? Inside rant!
