The single cup brewing system was introduced in 1998 by the Keurig coffee maker company. Before that time, coffee for work places was usually purchased from a vending machine. The other option would be for the company or employees to buy coffee brewers, coffee, and filters, and brew their own. Some employees would take turns making coffee, and some employees would drink the coffee, but never bothered to brew a pot, another reason for office discord. The idea of a coffee maker that would brew one cup at time, with no coffee pots involved, was revolutionary at the time, and the Keurig cups were born.

What is inside a Keurig cup? K cups are little pods, which hold a filter and a specific quantity of finely ground coffee. The quantity of the mix is balanced to produce a flawlessly brewed drink each time. The airtight seal on the top of the pod retains the freshness of the coffee or tea inside, keeping out oxygen, light, and humidity.

Is it like making a pot of coffee? Preparation of a Keurig Coffee Maker is uncomplicated. Fill up the water tank with fresh water, (filtered is preferable). Turn on the coffee maker the wait three to four minutes for it to heat up. When your Keurig coffee maker signals to you that it is ready to brew, then brew.

What goes on inside k cups? Place a cup on the drip tray, (that is important, otherwise, you will have a mess to clean up). Select the k cup flavor you wish to brew, a Coffee People's original donut shop extra bold for instance, put the K cup pod inside the coffee maker and shut the cover.

As the brewing process starts, the bottom and top of the K cup is pierced. A little cylinder that pierced the top seal of the pod infuses pressurized hot water into the cup. In about 20 seconds, brewed coffee will start pouring into the mug that you remembered to place on the drip tray. A hot, perfectly brewed mug of original donut shop extra bold in less than one minute!

Are there many K cups available? Over 200 varieties of coffees, teas, hot cocoas, and iced beverages are available. That is especially important in a workplace. Our jobs may be mundane, but why should our coffee and tea be boring? On Monday you could try Green Mountain coffee's Nantucket blend with its full-bodied, hearty taste to kick start your week. Try Newman's Own organics special blend with its combination of medium and dark roasts to help get you through hump day Wednesday. A soothing cup of Celestial Seasonings tea may be nice on casual Friday. When enjoying a beverage made from k cups, every cup is brewed to perfection.
