Keurig K350 2.0 Coffee Maker
Does the brain trust know if this model takes the refillable cups? Would like to surprise the wife but we drink too much coffee to buy the standard cups Thanks,Mike

I am a big Keurig fan, mainly because it allows my wife and I to have the type of coffee or tea that we each prefer. She likes coffees toward the espresso taste and I don't care for that taste at all. With a Keurig we each have what we prefer.
Cost is all relative for each of us. My brother in law was giving me a hard time about the cost of my Keurig coffee when I pointed out to him that the previous night at dinner, I had watched him drink an $8 glass of wine in the restaurant. He had two glasses, which I pointed out was more than what I spent on a week's supply of Keurig coffee.
I recently bought a 2.0 Brewer and it has some problems in that some of my older supply of teas, don't have the ring around the outside of the K cup so won't work in the 2.0 machine. See YouTube, as mentioned above for a hack to solve that problem.
As I understand it, Keurig's patents on the K cup machines are expiring or have expired. Keurig is owned by Green Mountain Coffee, a Vermont based company. Just recently I read that the large German holding company that previously purchased Peets, Seattle's Best and Caribou coffee companies, had just agree to purchase Green Mountain Coffee including the Keurig brand. The 2.0 machines appears to me to be an attempt to force users to buy K cups only from Keurig or others they have licensed to sell K cups. If the OP can fine a Keurig Brewer, that doesn't have the 2.0 as part of the model number, I sure recommend getting that model, such as a K 45 machine, which Amazon and other suppliers still have in stock.
