Background of the Keurig Coffee Machine Class Action Lawsuit
The class action lawsuit alleged that Keurig’s K-Supreme, K-Supreme Plus, and K-Supreme SMART single-serve coffee makers contain a defect that causes them to lose power while users attempt the descaling process. This descaling failure could render the machines unusable, forcing users to pay out-of-pocket for repairs or replacements.
Plaintiffs claimed they reported the issue to Keurig and received no help under the company’s limited warranty. While Keurig has denied wrongdoing, it has chosen to settle the lawsuit to avoid further litigation.
This case echoes consumer concerns about accountability for faulty products—just like the Tesla recall settlement we previously covered.
Who Qualifies for the Settlement?
There are two groups of eligible class members:
1. Performance Issue Claim Class
- Consumers who filed complaints about K-Supreme coffee makers losing power during descaling
- Complaints must have been filed within 12 months of purchase
- Complaints must have been filed between Oct. 1, 2020, and June 20, 2025
- No remedy was provided by Keurig
2. Coffee Maker Purchaser Class
- Consumers who purchased a K-Supreme, K-Supreme Plus, or K-Supreme SMART coffee maker, or descaling solution for these units between Oct. 1, 2020, and June 20, 2025
