Unless the new machine removes the DRM, don’t expect anyone to upgrade anytime soon.
I loved my old Keurig and was hoping to get a new one, but the restrictive nature made me re-think my plans (which I’m glad I did, because the AeroPress is incredible!!).
People need to really think about this concept of “ownership” in the modern age. DRM and other such restrictive licensing agreements essentially mean you don’t “own” a thing; you’re licensing it. That might make sense on say, a subscription music service, but not on purchased music. And certainly, when you buy say, a tractor, you expect that you OWN it.
I know the old joke that “you don’t own coffee, you rent it” but if Keurig wants to put DRM on my morning beverage, maybe I should send them back the bottle of “leftovers."
