Did you want cream with your DRM?

This is DRM taken to whole new levels of consumer rip-off.  

Keurig want your next coffee machine to have DRM so that you cannot use non-Keurig coffee capsules in their machine.    Despite recent EU legal rulings confirming that non-manufacturer capsules are legally allowed, it seems that the cash cow of your coffee was too big to stop them finding a new way to fleece your wallet.

Way to go Keurig, a new low.

As soon as the patents expired I went Nespresso. I feel like George.

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

I went for a De'longhi magnifica a couple years back , no capulses, just lovely ground and bean coffee machine that is still going strong!

Apparently I actually exist! Or maybe it was the drink?

I think Spiritus has that one too and seemed very happy with it.    It certainly seemed to kick out some decent coffee during our recent visit.

I got a jar of coffee from Aldi, because I'm cheap. :)
