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.

  2. Michelle Jubilee says:

    I’ve purchased Keurig coffee pods for 10 years from different store chains like Bed Bath and Beyond, Walmart, CVS, Groupon, Walgreens’s, Shop Rite, Giant, and Acme. Please add me

  3. Julie Mora says:

    If there are common, every day people that have the organizational skills, the space, (or the want) to keep k- cup receipts from 11 years ago… I bow down to you! That seems a bit unrealistic, to me, anyway!! Unless you have a personal accountant or you actually are one, I can’t even imagine! If you do not fit into the above category and you happen to have those receipts, I say, “you deserve Every dime they have to pay!” Having said that, I will give myself a little pat on the back as I have actually read the article (in it’s entirety) and I now have the knowledge and understanding that “add me” will in fact, get me no where! Pet peeve? Well, since you asked, YES…..IT’S A BIG ONE! Sorry ?

    1. MM says:

      I have my receipts from….Amazon. 80 of them.

    2. Catherine Kennedy says:

      We share the same pet peeve and lack of receipts. Reminds me of Mitch Hedberg’s donut joke, “I just can’t imagine the scenario where I’d have to prove I bought a donut.” If you haven’t heard it, it’s quick and funny.

  9. Jeremy Madrid says:

    I have every receipt going back 5 years. Does this also include the Kroger brand cups as well? They say Keurig on the packaging but are just called ss cups on the purchase receipt.

  10. sheryl says:

    please tell me how do i calculate this. i bought one about 5 years ago and i live in what they say is a non repealer state meaning i would get the lowest amt of money back. is it a total of 550 portion cups. its kind of confusing. for example i have purchased cups for 4 of the years probably at least 1 large box of 48 a month. so what is the maximum i could sign up for.
