We study those compatible couples of Banach spaces for which the complex method interpolation spaces are also described by the K-method of interpolation. As an application we present counter-examples to Cwikel's conjecture that all interpolation spaces of a Banach couple are described by the K-method whenever all complex interpolation spaces have this property.
