[Electronics-talk] Keurig 2.0 accessibility

[Barb O'Connor]

I'm glad I have an older version.  I don't understand why everything has to go to the touch screen.  If mi present Keurig fails, I won't replace it with a touch screen version.

  Obviously, they have no intention of making their products blind accessible 
  or else they would have replaced the touchscreen with dedicated buttons to 
  select the desired cup size.

  We recently purchased a Keurig 2.0 model 200.  We subsequently returned it
  to Walmart, and got an older Keurig model 40 they still had on the shelf.  I
  was unable to use the unit, because you need to select a cup size using the
  touch screen.  This would have been doable, except that if you, by tapping
  the up button, exceed the maximum cup size of 10 oz, the selection wraps
  around to 4 oz.

  I'm sure that this has been discussed, but there are many Keurig messages in
  the archives, and I didn't browse them all.  I heard on another list that
  blind folks were using this unit successfully, and I wonder how?

  I spoke with a manager at Keurig, and he told me that he'd heard of this
  once before.  Honestly, I didn't get the feeling that Keurig is concerned
  about this, or that they plan to do anything about it.
