Keurig takes steps towards abandoning coffee-pod DRM

Reintroduction of 'My K-Cup' allows users to once again make whatever coffee they want

Keurig has taken the first steps towards abandoning an unpopular enforcement scheme on its pod-based coffee makers that requires customers to purchase their coffee exclusively from Keurig or licensed third-parties.

Starting in the run-up to Christmas, owners will be able to use coffee bought from any provider in their espresso machines - after buying a special add-on.
