YES it will utilize all brands of K-Cups and the reusable device that allows you to use your own coffee.
349433
we are happy that you are so independent. I hope you feel the same way about the current administration.

Your feelings are the exact reason I bought this particular machine. It not only uses pods by other companies, but comes with it's own re-usable, re-fillable pod that fits in it's own compartment.

Oooohhhh sinister plot by "big coffee" controlling your moind today..tomorrow, telling you who to vote for, years later, we are all living and breathing robots, all because we gave in to "coffee control"...LOL WOw, this my friend is the EXACT reason someone coined the phrase "pick your battles"...lol I am confident enough in my ability to make my own choices and not afraid of Mr Coffee...lol watch out for that French Roast, its a strong one!

Susan M Hawoth answered incorrectly. The SS-700 uses k-cups sold by other brands (Starbucks, Costco's own brand, etc.), not just Keurig brand k-cups. "Controlled by one coffee company" you are referring to the new Keurig 2.0 machines (Costco sells one). Those has a sensor on the bottom of the lid that reads special ink on the new 2.0 k-cup coffee. You can read all about it on the internet and a lot of people are not happy. Btw, Costco still sells the SS-700 but stopped selling the Keurig K75 Platinum. Appears Big Lots bought a whole bunch and selling them for $119.99 but they are going fast. Susan M Hawoth answered incorrectly.

I have never tried to use my own coffee with my pod maker. Not sure if you can or not. To use my own coffee, I use myKeurig.

The only coffee pods that'll fit this machine are the ones made for it. Sounds like captain obvious but in other words, there are NO OTHER PODS you can use. Only one kind in all the world will work and it's cuisinart coffee. Bummer for people like me that wanna use their favorite brand of coffee.

No. I do not use these with the Keurig coffee maker. I bought these for my Senseo coffee maker and it's great for it. These pods are somewhat flat, like a tea bag. Not a K-cup.

As long as they are the softpods it should work. It WON'T work with 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...!

There are other pods available from other suppliers.. Do a search on Amazon.. Also I have found that if you use #1 coffee filters in the basket you can use regular grind coffee..

It only takes pods with a Kuerig symbol. This did not have the symbol and was rejected them. Only buy items so marked.

If you can take the coffee out of the k cup you can use it in the pod. Any coffee can work in the pod.

Product supposedly not for use with Keurig units, however, no others that have used it and it works fine. Have used the filters and ez cup myself and it work great for me. Hope this is helpful.

There is an adapter so you may use K-Cups but I was not pleased with the results.There were grounds in the coffee after a few uses. I have gone back to the pods which are not as available as the K-Cups.I feel the pods work better.

I see no way to make pods without a pod maker which has a very hot "flange" to match the flange on the filters. The manufacturer or original distributor stamped on the back of mine is "Arm Enterprises, Inc." Maybe they could help. The name on the tag is "Coffee Pod Maker", "Perfect Pod Maker", Model EP2122, Date Code 5111. I'll swap you my pod maker for a new Keurig coffee maker. :)

dont really know.i just have keurig pods but i dont see why they wouldnt fit other brands .hope that helps.you.

Not if you have a Keurig 2.0. Keurig has implemented DRM technology to read the kcups.So if your kcup does not bear the Keurig Brewed seal it won't work. This is Keurig's attempt to monopolize the market.

I am not sure. I have never heard of the brand you mentioned. I use only k-cup for keurige which is the machine I have. I am interested in finding out too in case I ever get a machine of that name. Wish I could help you. Please let me know if it works with it or not. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I honestly don't know, Keurig is doing some different stuff with their new line of k-cup brewers, best I can say is try it and find out.

Yes it does. We are completely thrilled with it. The pods are a little harder to find than the Kuerig "K-cups", but we just ordered ours through Amazon. They offer tons of different brands/types/flavors....just watch the shipping. Some of the suppliers are pretty pricey on shipping.
