Can you use regular K cups in the Vue?

The Perfect Pod K2V-Cup Adapter for Keurig VUE Brewer allows you to use traditional K-Cups in your VUE Brewer. The adapter is sold with an Eco-Fill refillable capsule, enabling you to use your favorite ground coffee.

Are all K cups compatible?

No K-cups and Coffee Pods are NOT the same and are NOT interchangeable. K-cups are specifically designed to be used in the Keurig single cup coffee maker only. Keurig has recently changed the name of their “K-CUP” to “K-CUP PODS” but they are very different than actual paper coffee pods.

Is the Keurig Vue compatible with the K-Cup?

Huh? Well, first of all, as I’ve already indicated, not all Keurigs are K-cup compatible. The Keurig Vue uses a larger cup and carafe system. And now to really muddy the waters, Keurig has released the 2.0 machine. The Keurig 2.0 is a machine that accepts BOTH K-cups and Vue cups. Sounds good, but there is a catch.

Is there such a thing as a K Cup compatible?

But other companies can make a cup of similar characteristics and dimensions, which will work functionally just like a K-cup—they just can’t legally call it a “K-cup.” So on Single-Serve-Direct, we call those “generic” type k-cups “K-Cup® Compatible.”

What’s the difference between a real Cup and a K Cup?

The first is called RealCup® and it is a registered trademark of Mother Parker’s Tea and Coffee Inc., a rival to Green Mountain. Realcups feature a unique internal filter system and are fully biodegradable, so if you don’t like the eco-unfriendliness of the K-cups, you may want to try Realcups.

Are there any coffee machines that work with K Cups?

That is, certain models by Breville, Cuisinart and Mr. Coffee have licensed the K-cup technology from Green Mountain and made k cup models. They say “K-Cup® compatible” on the label. So these are all really “1.0” machines, too, and all four of the K cup types listed above will work with them.
