You can pay upwards of $50 US dollars per pound of coffee when using K-Cups. The Keurig 2.0 has a reader in the top lid that only recognizes certain patterns and inks on the new K-cup lids.

James Poe,
As of right now, you can’t choose the brew temperature on the newer Keurig coffee makers anymore. The brewer defaults to an average brew temperature of about 175 degrees for K-Cups and 180 degrees for Vue Packs & K-Carafe Packs. You can try to run a cycle of water through the brewer before brewing a cup if you haven’t used the coffee maker for a few hours. This heats up the machine and can make the water a few degrees warmer, giving you a slightly hotter cup.
There may be a hack on YouTube you can try but it may void the warranty.
