K-Cup

 K-Cup portion packs are used with Keurig one cup brewing systems for coffee, tea or hot chocolate brewing. Each K-Cup is a plastic container with a coffee filter. Ground coffee beans are packed in the K-Cup and sealed with a combination of plastic and foil lid. If the K-Cup is placed in a Keurig brewer, the brewery holes in the foil lid and the bottom of the K-Cup and forces hot water under pressure through the K-Cup into a cup. Keurig licenses its K-Cup technology to coffee roasters and tea makers, including Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Diedrich / Gloria Jeans, Timothy's World Coffee, Van Houtte, Caribou Coffee, Celestial Seasonings, Bigelow Tea Company, Twinings, Tully's, Coffee People and Newman's own .
