As the title asks, I am interested in knowing if each coffee manufacturer produces it's own Keurig pods and pay Keurig a royalty. Or does Keurig produce them all using each particular recipe and paying the brand a royalty?
The reason I ask is that we have been using a particular brand of pod and recently had a quality problem. The top foil wasn't sealed well and leaked grounds under pressure. After being accustomed to being able to drink the coffee "to the last drop" this was disappointing. I sent the brand a message from their website asking about the lapse in quality and have received no answer after 2 weeks.
We are now in the process of evaluating various brands of Keurig pods. It shouldn't take that long since all flavored coffees were eliminated before we started.
