The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM"

FuzzNugget writes "Apparently seeking to lock competitors out of the burgeoning single-serve coffee market, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, maker of the popular Keurig coffee machines, will make their new machines work with licensed pods only. GMCR's CEO confirmed this in a statement: 'The much-anticipated ‘Keurig 2.0’ single-cup brewing system with ‘interactive readability’ (that doesn’t work with unlicensed/copycat pods) will offer such “game-changing functionality” that consumers - and unlicensed players - will want to switch.'"

Your forgetting the grinding of the fresh beans to put in that press. Otherwise, your gratuitous snootiness is entirely pointless.

Firstly: "you're", not "your".

As for grinding coffee, it's not like I can go and buy ground coffee, is it? Oh wait ......
