Keurig has agreed to pay $31 million to resolve claims it violated antitrust laws by fixing the price of its Keurig K-Cup Portion Packs products.

The settlement benefits individuals who purchased Keurig K-Cup Portion Packs from retailers other than Keurig between Sept. 7, 2010, and Aug. 14, 2020, in all states other than Mississippi and Rhode Island; between March 24, 2011, and Aug. 14, 2020, in Mississippi; or between July 15, 2013, and Aug. 14, 2020, in Rhode Island.

Claims against Keurig were consolidated in June 2014. According to the plaintiffs in the eight consolidated class action lawsuits, Keurig violated antitrust laws in order to monopolize the market for single-serve coffee pods. This monopoly allegedly allowed the company to artificially fix the price of Keurig K-Cup Portion Packs products — subjecting consumers to financial strain that wouldn’t exist in a healthy market.

In December 2017, these claims were preserved by a federal judge who denied the company’s motion for dismissal.

Keurig has not admitted any wrongdoing in the case but has agreed to a $31 million Keurig K-Cup Portion Packs class action settlement. The settlement provides reimbursement for Keurig K-Cup purchases in the form of cash payments. Reimbursement rates will vary from 0.75% to 100% depending on the state the purchase was made in and whether proof of purchase was submitted with a claim.

In order to benefit from the settlement, Class Members must file a valid claim form by July 15, 2021. Proof of purchase of Keurig K-Cup purchases and information about these purchases (number of K-Cups purchased, price paid, state where purchase took place, brand name, etc.) is required to validate claims.

The deadline for exclusion is May 14, 2021. The deadline for objection is May 17, 2021. The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for June 4, 2021.

  1. Penelope witt says:

    I am appalled that they believe people will have receipts for coffee purchases of 11 years ago even the its doesn’t require records that long if you followed the rules and paying for the product and not having an issue with the taste not needing return kept me from hoarding a receipt that will fade guess I will start scanning and filling every receipt of every purchase for life because I can’t tell you the amount o have purchased over the years coff6is my drink of Choi and kcup is all I use

  2. Lori says:

    Like most others, I don’t save receipts nor do I recall how much the boxes cost me.
    However, I had about eight boxes in my cabinet. I took pictures of them. Would that be sufficient proof?
    It is not worthy asking for payment on any others because I’d be guessing how many I purchased.

  3. rita winters says:

    I have 2 keurig coffee machines, alternate every now and then Only buy original K cups, Green Mountain is one of the many Ibut………….Please add me

  4. Gabriele Willis says:

    Please add me however I don’t keep receipts for anything that doesn’t have a warranty (i.e. food) so not a sure how I will qualify.

  5. Todd Davis says:

    Add me as I own 3 keurig coffee makers and have purchased hundreds of k cups from walmart in 2012

  6. Elizabeth L. Post says:

    I received my Keurig K-Cup coffee maker in December 25, 1911 and have always bought the Green Mountain Coffee K-cups from Walmart and always purchased the 18 serving packages. Now I buy them from International Blends website and always buy the 100 pack size because I can get them cheaper with free delivery. I don’t know anyone who keeps grocery receipts. I’ll have to check to see how far back I can go on my credit card statements as I don’t keep those either.

    1. Elizabeth L Post says:

      I thought I said the 48 cup package not 18.

  7. Renee WILDERMUTH says:

  9. Rosslina Anderson says:

  10. Waynathia Drake says:
