What are K Cup Coffee Makers?

For those of you who have been blissfully brewing your coffee 8 Cups at a time, it might come as a surprise that there is a technology out there used by thousands of consumers to brew Coffee One Cup at a time.  Not so long ago, a group of folks had the idea to make it simple to brew a single cup of coffee without the hassle of grinding beans or keeping coffee grounds fresh in a large container.  In 2004, consumers were introduced to the Keurig brand of single cup Coffee Makers, and the K-Cup was born.

The basic design of the K Cup is comprised of a plastic container housing a standard coffee filter. The cup/filter combination is then packed with ground Coffee Beans and is then sealed with an air-tight foil lid. The consumer then places the K-Cup in a Keurig-style brewer, where the brewer punctures a hole in the bottom of the K-Cup and the foil lid then forces hot pressurized water through the K-Cup and into a mug.  The result is a fresh, steaming-hot cup of coffee.

Keurig has licensed the K-Cup technology to to a variety of coffee and tea makers including Green Mountain, Caribou and Newman’s Own.  From these companies you will be able to find a variety of coffees, teas, hot chocolate from sources around the world.  If you have a favorite blend of coffee, chances are you will be able to find a K-Cup supplier.

Once only the realm of corporate offices, consumers now have a wide variety of models from which to choose.  Although they created the technology, Keurig is not the only manufacturer of k cup coffee makers.  There are models by Bosch and Breville that can utilize the K-Cup technology to make an equally delicious cup of hot coffee.
