This is very interesting.  I do note that the unit in question is defective, with a motor that seems to be running very slowly.  This could be the reason for the RFI problem. ARRL has zero reports of KRFI (Keurig RFI), but I am sure many a ham has a Keurig.  If any of you do experience this problem, send an email to rfi at arrl.org with the details.

It is worth noting that under FCC rules, this would be classified as an appliance (used in heating, cooling, cleaning or the preparation of food).  As such, it is categorically exempt from the specific emissions limits that apply to other unintentional radiators.  Appliances are subject only to the requirement that the operator use them in a way that does not cause harmful interference.

Ed, W1RFI
