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.

    How do I file a claim if I don’t have my receipts

    1. Perry Schweitzer says:

      If you are a Rewards member with any of the regional or national grocery store chains, and input your Rewards number at time of purchase, your purchase will be registered online in your account. I can view my purchase receipts online going back two years with Kroger and Meijer. Granted it’s not a decade’s worth, but it’s something to submit. I can verify a couple hundred bucks worth of K Cups. Those boxes add up!

  3. Wayne Battle says:

  8. Melissa A Mitchell says:

    Please add me. I have had a keurig for about 10years. I have bought 3 of them. I have bought k cups from Walmart, sams,Kroger, keurig. But I don’t save my receipts. That is just crazy.

  9. Mark Fields says:

    I have two hotels in Florida; one of which, has 274 rooms, and 101 luxury vacation rental properties; all are accessorized with Keurig Machine’s, and all are replenished daily with K-Cup Coffee, additionally, each guests are provided extra coffee upon requests. The majority of our condiments are purchased in bulk from major suppliers, however, we purchase (in date) (especially during the pandemic), majorly all of our K-Cups in large bulk quantities from auctions, Trustee sales and defaulted PO containers. Obviously we’ve got invoices from each transaction, although they clearly state miscellaneous consumables; therefore, before I appoint a specific accounting group to quantify these item’s; I would like to know if a single claimant cap exists, or is the total net settlement available on a first come basis?

  10. Robert Waddell says:

    I can’t believe this. I’m so mad ?!
    Please add my name to the list. Thank you.
