K Cups – Concept And Background
K Cup Single Serve Coffee Maker
K Cup was invented in 1992, by Keurig which resembles a creamer cup available at many street cafes. K Cup is a revolutionary cup that is vacuum packed with flavors and a coffee filter in one. They are specially designed to be just placed in Keurig Coffee Maker. The machine and the cups together give you a choice of around 50 different types of beverages in around 200 different flavors. It is a single cup coffee revolution that caters to large families and offices with large number of employees.
How K Cups Are Constructed
The vacuum packing of a K Cup consists of plastic and foil which seals the flavor inside the cup by keeping moisture out. This way the coffee remains fresh and keeps its aroma and flavor. The unique packaging allows the Keurig Coffee Maker to puncture holes on the top and the bottom, bigger ones at the bottom. Then hot water is injected under pressure into the K-Cups. This brews the aromatic special blend of ground coffee beans into your cup just as the drink that you wanted. No wonder the k-cup coffee maker won the Good Design Award given by Chicago Athenaeum – Museum of Architecture and Design. It is considered as a single serve coffee maker with the least amount to fuss and yet conveniently suits the taste, given the variety of flavors.
Another advantage of using K Cups is that they have a longer shelf life. The credit again goes to its innovative product design which keeps out oxygen and moisture completely. This ensures that K Cups stay fresh until the time you want to brew a cup of coffee in your single serve coffee maker. The products are completely free of any kind of gluten, sugar or fat, it is purely coffee or tea or cocoa.
Avoid Dripping K Cups
There is however one disadvantage listed by many users which is after continuous use, the coffee maker can become drippy which can lead to mess. But, that is a simple one and can be easily sorted with the help of paper napkins or towels. Apart from that the single cup coffee brewer is absolutely unbeatable when it comes to catering to large number of people in a single room. In fact, Keurig K Cups also cater to the nature lovers and organic farming lovers with their Hot Apple Cider K-Cup, Rainforest Alliance and Organic K Cups from all over the world.

Tip: If you love to try and taste new varieties of hot or cold drinks, go Keurig and you could spend a complete year only trying to figure out which flavor you love most in your single brew and by then, it would be time to start all over once again.
