What is the different between V1 and K cups?
1321915
The V1 is made for the new Keurig Vue coffee maker and will not fit in the K-cup system.

This one doesn't fit in a K cup machine only in the new Keurig Vue. The size and shape is different.

It was confusing for me too...The V1 is for the Keurig Vue line only, it doesn't fit on the others. Note the "protuberance" on the right side of the picture, this cup goes in only one way. On the V1 the water goes in at the top through the center and comes out from that thingi on the side. The K cups are round and water comes from the top and goes out at the bottom. I bought it for my Vue and it's very nice, also the size allows for brewing up to 12oz single brew, depending on your coffee and taste. Hopefully this clear up a bit of confusion.

Kerueg makes two models of single service coffee makers. One uses vue (V1) cups and the other K cups.

V1 cups fit the Vue & have a extra piece that sticks out off the front of the cup. K cups fit the regular machines. You can not use the k cups in the Vue and vice versa.

On CNET, in a review, they explained that the patent for K cups expired in 2012, while the patent on the newer VUE cup goes until 2021. I think that they were made incompatible on purpose. The K cups have the critical mass in the market and it remains to be seen whether the VUE cups can become as popular.

K cups are pierced on top and bottom.coffee flows out bottom. Vue cups are pierced differently and coffee flows up through a channel .

I like the Vue, but sometimes it is hard to find the cups. That is why I purchased the refillable vue cup from Amazon.com

From what I can tell, the way they brew is different. The vue cups have a little spout on the side for the liquid to come out of. They are also different sizes.

It makes 1 cup and there isn't a difference between the 2 Harios. Love them and use them in my coffee shop.

The V2 includes an adapter that allows you to use K-cup portion packs by just pushing them into the Solofill and using it in the Vue. First remove the the Solofill cover and filter and then place the K-cup adapter in the Solofill, then push the K-cup on to a sharp point that punctures the bottom of the K-cup. Then "brew." The V1 did not have the adapter.

I don't know the exact difference but I love this one because you can pop the lid assembly in the dishwasher so that it actually gets clean. Most other commuter cups stay gungy.

I did some research before we got our Keurig and I found that the K-cups & V-packs aren't interchangeable. However a K2V cup is made to convert K-cups to fit the Vue, and it comes with a reusable cup that these filters should work in

I have the keurig vue but it only takes one v cup brewed at 10 oz. when you fill it with ice to the suggested line.

I have seen little to no difference in the performace of the ecobrew refillable cup and the standard Keurig K-Cups. Suggest that you try a different machine and see if the results are the same.

No. You can use any K-cup. There are many products on the market to choose from.

I don't know? The K cup does not say it but the packaging is different. So maybe? It doesn't taste good. I wasted my money on this box!

I think the vue cups are different than regular k cups. Did you see if they have a vue version of this? I don't have a vue so I don't pay that much attention. I would sure check it out before purchasing.

standard k cup does work in this model and similar versions of K cups from grocery stores

They are the same unit. Keurig renamed all its models, changing the B to a K.

V2 comes with a black piece in the bottom that punches a hole in the k cup at the base so that you can use it in the Vue machine. The V2 claims to be able to be used with tea bags, pods, k cups, and with the gold filter. With the V1 it was strictly tea bags and refill with your own coffee in the gold filter. To use k cups with the V1 you had to punch your own hole in the bottom of the k cup and line it up with the spout. With the V2 you take the red lid off to use it with a k cup. When you try to use a k cup with the V1 it tends to get stuck from time to time when you opened the lid when the coffee was done brewing. I would definitely go for the V2. I bought the V1 version.

The K-cups arrangement cannot be used in the Keurig V500 Model. It would be a great advantage if an adapter could be developedto us the K-cups in the V500 series. The Keurig V500 Vue Cups are so limited in variety (and brewed flavor).

I have only owned a Keurig Vue machine, so can't compare to the earlier machines. The Vue Maching I believe has more features, and the largest cup allows for stronger &/or larger cups of coffee. As for varieties of coffee available, that will grow soon, I believe. I have a couple re-usable Vue cups and use my own mixture of coffees' I blend myself.

There may be several differences, but the biggest one, is the size, The SA model, Product Dimensions: 16 x 14.8 x 13 inches ; 19 pounds The 700 Product Dimensions: 10.2 x 13.5 x 12.1 inches ; 16.3 pounds You should get extra K cups, along with water filters, however some of the items for sale may indicate that no coffee pods come with it, just be sure to read the description to be sure your getting everything you expect to get. we have had ours for two years, it works good, but does need cleaning from time to time, coffee gets into the needle that is used to puncture the top of the k cups,

just to give you a complete answer.. this brewer came out last year 2012 and the version does NOT accept k-cup but the NEW version 2013 does accept K-cups... and it also accepts the flat pods as well and it give you a third option of using your own ground coffee.. so lots of versatility
