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.

I’ve bought these for absolute years and I find this more than a little unfair that proof of purchase is needed. I do not hoard Target and Walmart receipts for up to 10 years! I’ve also ordered dozens of times online… things arrive without receipts. I don’t know how honest people who don’t happen to be hoarders can get any help with class actions that have requirements like this. :-( In the past Amazon alerted me that something I bought there has a lawsuit but not this time.
I have purchased these for 8 years from various stores. I do not have receipts from 8 yrs ago or from yesterday. The world is trying to go paperless and I am not a hoarder to save them,
Same here, Claire. It’s upsetting to know I am a member of a class action from what I’ve bought but then find out it’s impossible to be compensated.
I filled it out any way without proof…I been buying them since K cups came out…I have never saved a receipt, and its crazy to expect someone to keep a receipt for coffee bought in 2013!!
FYI, “‘Keurig K-Cup Portion Packs’ means single-serve beverage portion packs manufactured or licensed by Keurig that are compatible with Keurig brewers. A Portion Pack manufactured or licensed by Keurig will generally display the Keurig brand name or logo on the package.”

(Instead of commenting “Add me.” That gets you nowhere, folks.)
Just curious and wondering if anyone can answer…I know I can honestly estimate the amount of k-cup packs I have purchased, however do not have receipts. Would I be able to make and print out a receipt? I have purchased same amount every 2 weeks from an individual for the past 4 years. He doesn’t have receipts, so would I be able to make and print out receipts for that?
I have been buying k-cups for years!!!
TIA
Gotta have receipts.
