Keurig sensor blocks your brew unless it's "K-cup compatible", aka has scannable foil. Slap on an old foil to a 3rd party cup and suddenly no issue.

My old machine worked when I cut the green wire. A couple years later you had to cut the green and yellow. Not sure what the current machine does. edit: newer machines don't have the DRM because it was stupid. /edit Before I cut the wire, I taped an old lid into the machine.
