Dropping this question here, because the entire concept of Coffee DRM is a facepalm.
Do the newer Kuerig machines still have the DRM that restricts what pods you can use? Or are there better alternatives out there for pod-based coffee? I've got a great coffee machine at home that I'm happy to use on the weekends, evenings... but I'd like to look into a quicker option for mornings.
Our machine was having some issues with some pods, so I believe that model does. Don't know about new ones.
It's defeatable, but it's a PITA.
