![]() ![]() These machines worked by scanning the lid of pods and rejecting pods that came from unlicensed third parties. Keurig 2.0 initially came with new scanning technology, that resisted brewing with unlicensed K-cups. Just insert the pod into the machine and select the size of brew and your drink will be ready in 1-2 minutes.Īs the Keurig 2.0 series is discontinued now, all the Keurig models available in the market now are part of the original Keurig 1.0 brewing system.Īs discussed earlier with a simple explanation of where the Keurig 1.0 and Keurig 2.0 stories began. Many coffee lovers like Keurig 1.0 brewers because of their simplicity and ability to brew coffee with 3rd part K-cup pods. ![]() Keurig 1.0 are the original classic models of Keurig that works with any type of K-cup pod. In fact, devices with 2.0 technology cannot operate at all with K Cup pods that are not 2.0 compatible. Keurig 2.0 won’t work until it scans the authorization criteria on the pod label. This required using Digital Rights Management computer chips to read the infrared printing on the pod cover and then let the machine continue brewing. The 2.0 brewing systems work by identifying whether the K Cup was authorized by Keurig or not. The Keurig 2.0 brewing system scans the lid of the pod and determines how much water is needed, as well as the optimal brewing temperature. The working principle of Keurig 2.0 is quite different from other classic Keurig models, the machine has to do a lot of work, and it all starts by scanning the lid of k cup pods. Keurig 2.0 brewing systems only work with licensed K Cups being made by Keurig. To maintain the monopoly over coffee pods used in Keurig, the company released its Keurig 2.0 brewing method in the fall of 2014. The patent of Keurig pods was ended in September 2012 and the rising market for non-Keurig-produced K Cup pods has raised concerns about Keurig’s future economic structure. More companies are now selling 3rd party k-pods, which now become the standard of coffee pods- K-cup pods. However, licensing has not been a problem since the K Cup patent expired many years ago. Keurig gains great popularity in terms of manufacturing great coffee machines, however, this growing popularity gives rise to many companies producing unlicensed K-Cup pods. Why Keurig introduced the 2.0 brewing system? You can adjust the coffee brewing temperature to get your optimal extraction and also you can change the strength at which it will brew. Keurig 2.0 is a brewing system that features K-cup pod scanning technology, that resists the usage of unlicensed Keurig pods, also has great built-in additional features that brew more cups at a time, and you have more control and functionality in hand. ![]()
