What is a DRM coffee?
But unlike Nespresso, the system, the second from Keurig, also uses a sort of digital rights management (DRM) technology to ensure that unlicensed “compatible” pods cannot be bought for a cut-price and used in the company’s machines.
Does Keurig still use DRM?
Yes, the Keurig still uses DRM. You may google ways around the DRM restrict. There are also reusable k-cups that you may purchase.
Are Keurig cups proprietary?
As its K-Cup prices fell, Keurig took the battle into its own hands by unveiling the Keurig 2.0 machine, which will be released this fall. The new home brewer will use “proprietary interactive capabilities to identify the Keurig pack.” In other words, it will accept only licensed K-Cups.
How is Nespresso different from Keurig?
Like Tassimo, Nespresso and Keurig machines focus on single-servings (one cup) of coffee. Where they differ is in that the Keurig can also make tea, hot chocolate, and other hot drinks, while the Nespresso only brews coffee, espresso, and cappuccino (in models with milk systems). Keurigs cannot brew espresso.
Should you use distilled water for coffee?
Distilled: Rather similar to filtered, distilled is not great for coffee making (unless you’re brewing your grounds under pressure, making an espresso for instance). All in all, distilled is much better than tap.

Why does Keurig say not to use distilled water?
The Keurig 2.0 does not tolerate distilled water because it is too pure for its sensor. Due to electrical impulses, the unit may think there is no water in the reservoir. It will continuously alert you to add water. Using filtered tap water is the best option for this type of Keurig.
