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 โ€” subjecting consumers to financial strain that wouldnโ€™t exist in a healthy market.

In December 2017, these claims were preserved by a federal judge who denied the companyโ€™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.

  5. Carol White says:

    generally buy them thru Amazon. so should be able to rustle up some proof of purchase from the purchases amazon shows me making

    Add me please

  6. Margaret l Zeaiter says:

    Receipts? Thatโ€™s ridiculous! Iโ€™ve had a total of 5 different Keurig since 2014 and have purchased hundreds of Keurig K-cups. I donโ€™t save these kind of receipts!

  7. Jodi says:

    Iโ€™m a committed coffee drinker like most here in the seattle area and I have owned a Kurig coffee machine now for at least 4 years, as the idea of a single serve coffee maker best suits my household for one adult with children! Though I have not saved my receipts for all my coffee purchases- or any actually not thinking they would be needed. Am I still eligible for this?

  8. Steph says:

    Iโ€™m taking pics of all my receipts that I can find, they can go thru them, I probably donโ€™t even have receipts of the broken Keurig in the garage and the Keurig at the office and the Keurig in my kitchen thatโ€™s three in all ever since the Keurig is come out Iโ€™ve been purchasing K cups so yes this is ridiculous that we have to submit receipts again youโ€™re right Keurig does win but I am winning as well

  9. Kathy Maxwell says:

    I feel bad about suing someone because everything I read this report I fall into a category where I could make a claim. It seems like we are getting ripped off all the time and we are just oblivious to it. I have owned a Keurig coffee maker since December of 2019โ€ฆ.and have purchased no less than 400 individual pods. With 90% being Keurig.
