[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2683835, member: 30309"] Would you be mad if you bought a new Glock, Beretta, Sig or other handgun only to find that the magazines you already own don't work in it - fits perfect, cycles fine, releases great - but there's a sensor in the gun and prevents you from using them, and that very sensor is the ONLY reason? you now have to buy ALL NEW magazines for your new pistol. How about a sensor that prevented you from shooting any ammunition not produced by the gun manufacturer? Now you're stuck buying a $65 box of 25 substandard rounds for you new pistol - would that be okay or would you be a little ticked off. If you bought a handgun that is chambered in 45ACP, you'd expect to be able to run the 45ACP you already own in it right - in fact if you got it home and discovered you couldn't run your 10,000 rounds of Winchester white box you've hoarded through it, you'd probably be taking the gun back. Same thing here. This is a coffee maker. it should make ANYONE'S coffee. Just like every other coffee maker on the market. This is not expecting too much or expecting something totally new. Look at it like this: Grandma margaret bought a keurig a number of years ago and just loves it. She subscribes to the Keurig K-Cup service and has literally hundreds of K-cups in her pantry waiting to make that perfect cup of coffee she loves so much. For Christmas, her loving children buy her a new Keurig 2.0. It's shiny, new, has a neat touchscreen etc. Even the K-Cups appear to be the same. Same shape, same size, same everything! - well, almost. All is well until Grandma plops in her favorite Green Mountain decaff, or Starbucks dark roast she had stored in the pantry for such a special occasion. So, she pops the K-cup in, closes the door, the machine perforates the top and bottom with it's needles then "OOPS! This K-cup isn't designed for the Keurig 2.0. Please use only Keurig genuine K-Cups in this machine!" error But wait, this IS a genuine Keurig K-Cup. Just like the hundreds of others she has in her pantry! Poor Grandma is now stuck with hundreds of K-cups that don't fit her new machine, even though they are perfectly fine. So, the new Keurig goes back in the box - maybe even back to the store. [/QUOTE]
