Do you have to use Keurig products only? I found the perfect combination pack of coffee, cocoa, tea and cider but it is NOT Keurig brand.

No you do not. As long as it punctures the top and bottom when closed, it should work.
1349158
No. You can use any K-cup. There are many products on the market to choose from.

Keurig says you do but I tried several nonbrand items. Some taste OK others taste flat or bad so if you can try a sample size first before buying any large quantity to see if it is to your taste. Mechanically they worked OK with no problems.

The name brand of Keurig is the only one on the box. I see no other brand. Hope that helps.

Would suggest to either contact the seller, as mine were kcups but were packaged in a shipping box and portioned within a smaller bag. Or if you have a regular keurig use the gray my keurig with a Melitta single cup filter, cut the single serve bag, dump into the filter then brew.

Yes you can. You can use it as regular coffee, without the caffeine. Enjoy.

Yes. But you're better off with a basic Keurig, for $99. I finally broke down a bought one of those un-ecological things . . . and LOVE it. Gevalia Coffee just got on board with the K-cup, and that sold me. Fast, easy, hot, gourmet coffee, and no mess.

You really can't, that is, the machine uses special aluminum pods that you buy from Nespresso. There are instructions online on how to re-use those specific pods. But, I use my Keurig machine for coffee. The nespresso is truly a wonderful espresso machine, that's function is incredible espresso, and cappuccino.

I think you got it right there, for Tea or Hot Cocoa which just need hot water there isn't enough reason as I see it to use the K-Cup brewer.

No, these use little round pods that look like tea bags - hard to find and singular in brand. You can make your own pods but it's a lot of work. Better off biting the bullet and get a Keurig or the Mr Coffee that brews k-cups, in my opinion.

Yes, but the selection of teas is limited still since it's a new product. Only takes the new vue cups, not K cups.

NO - And Keurig conceals the fact that their "commercial" K-Cup brewing systems are not compatible (they made a mod to lock them out.) I just talked with their factory customer service. The directed me to a page titled "All K-Cup Brewing Systems" (www.keurig.com/shop/brewers/all-brewers) and only the HOME versions (first 5) work with a K-Cup. Even though the page even says "All K-Cup" and the model we bought starts with a K (K150) as in K-Cup!! Now that we're stuck with the K150 I see that they sneakily added special tabs to where you would put a K-Cup that locks it out. Makes it hard to close. Causes leaks if you try. Their customer service explanation is that K-Cups are "inconvenient" in an office. Truth is exactly the opposite. All they are trying to ko is FORCE you to use their own non-reusable coffee. And they conceal this dirty trick. And they even lock out THEIR OWN K-Cups. And their non-reusable coffee is VERY expensive. So we've been screwed by Keurig! Anyone found a solution to this problem? Help...!

Yes, there is a Special K-cup that you can and stuff with regular coffee and brew! Works great... Sometimes a little messy but not bad!

There not from Keurig but they fit and work perfectly. I use them everyday. I wouldn't hesitate, as I recommend these k-kups.

no need for paper filter and worked with cocoa too. not sure with teas and cider mixes or cappuccino.

No, not Keurig brand. We set our Keurig on top of it. Sometimes it can be a little difficult to open the drawer. I must be used to it, or it doesn't bother me!!

Of course. It's the only coffee you can use since it's not a Keurig or pod coffee pot, and it makes good coffee.

Glad to hear that tea bags work well in this. I got a Keurig for Christmas, and I have tons of tea bags still! I ordered the ecobrew so I can stick a tea bag in it. I'll order k-cups for coffee, as I'm not a major coffee connoisseur! But I will probably still buy tea bags and use them in the ecobrew. Glad to know it works...thanks, Michele!

Used to be patents. Keurig owned the patents to compatible cup systems. But they expired in 2012. Brand recognition now IMO. BTW 68 right now, down a bit.
