Picture of a K-Cup.

The Keurig single-cup brewing system uses a special packaging for coffee, tea and hot cocoa called K-Cup® portion packs or “K-Cups®”. Each K-Cup is an airtight, mini-brewer that locks out oxygen, light, moisture and humidity while locking in freshness and flavor. There are hundreds of K-Cup varieties available that include blends such as Light, Medium, Dark, Extra Bold, Flavored, Decaffeinated, Half-Caffeinated, Fair Trade, Organic and Kona.

The Keurig single cup brewing system also offers tea and hot cocoa in K-Cups. Teas are available from Bigelow, Celestial Seasonings, Gloria Jean’s Teas, Timothy’s Teas and Twining’s. Keurig brewed hot cocoa is available in K- Cups from Green Mountain Coffee and Timothy’s and is also available in specially developed packets from Ghirardelli.


Keurig relies on the fact that people who enjoy gourmet coffee will come to the conclusion that a single cup coffee maker  is the way to make coffee. Keurig single-cup brewing takes all the guesswork out of making a great cup of coffee. Each individually sealed K-Cup® portion pack contains the perfect amount of coffee ensuring the perfect amount of ground coffee to satisfy every taste profile. This K-Cup technology offers to make the perfect cup of coffee without the mess of grinding beans and loading grounds into coffee filters. The Keurig brewing system offers a coffee house quality cup of coffee for a fraction of the cost of a coffee house and with the convenience of brewing instantly in your own kitchen.

The Keurig system offers hundreds of K-Cups varieties and multiple brew sizes on all kitchen brewers, giving coffee consumers the flexibility to find the perfect cup of coffee for them.
