For those that own a Keurig machine, there’s nothing easier than loading a K-cup into the tray, pressing a few buttons, and voila!, tasty coffee in no time. But you may have noticed that buying off-brand K-cups may be rejected by the machine. Keurig has taken measures to protect its DRM (digital rights management), which creates proprietary issues for those looking to avoid an attempted “monopoly” on their coffee and their brewing machines. Yikes, what’s a thirsty coffee drinker to do?

After a quick installation to your Keurig® 2.0 brewer, you are able to use any brand K-Cup®. Besides, there’s nothing worse than being rejected when all that you’d want in the morning is something tasty and caffeinated, not legal mumbo-jumbo.
Design
If you’ve had experience using other forms of K-cup alternatives to retrofit your Keurig, you may have experienced one of the most common problems comes from their design: plastic. While the companies issuing these—especially by Keurig’s close competitors—may have seemed to have consumer’s hearts in mind, they may also have wanted to snatch a quick buck from skirting around the legal system (don’t worry; since a 2012 patent expired, any company can legally manufacture K-cups).
Clips like the FreedomClip seemed like a savvy alternative to sidestepping the DRM, but they missed a critical step in the construction: longevity. Some consumers have reported these cheap alternatives to last no more than five times—clearly not worth the money!
Other designs were clunky and cumbersome, requiring the consumer to enclose each off-brand K-cup in a separate chamber, requiring constant cleaning to reuse so that your French vanilla coffee doesn’t start tasting like New Orleans’ style chicory.

Installation is incredibly simple, as it affixes to the Keurig machine itself, not to the cups. In addition, you can leave the SoloClip in place if you use your own coffee in a separate plastic pod. This is great for those that love a particular brand of coffee, but the manufacturer doesn’t have a line of K-cups out yet.
Compatibility
One common question among customers is: Will this work for every Keurig machine? It seems like for every reaction, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. Well, in this case, there’s good news!
The SoloClip is compatible with most of Keurig’s 2.0 brewing systems on the market. So you can easily convert any brand of coffee that you desire while still maintaining the convenience and familiarity of your machine.

Conclusion

Nevertheless, if you were looking to brew a single cup, then Keurig and their K-cups aren’t the only player in the game. With the SoloClip, you can start enjoying any cup of coffee you’d like in convenience. And that’s something we can all drink to!
