K-Cups are individual little plastic containers filled with ground coffee beans just like one might find in a package of ground coffee. The containers are sealed at the top with a piece of foil which helps to preserve the coffee.

A special coffee machine, called a Keurig, is needed to use the K-Cups. These cups are placed in the top of the Keurig machine in a compartment just big enough for the K-Cups to fit. The compartment is closed by a lever on the top and a needle pierces the top and bottom of the K-Cup. Once the brew button is pushed, hot water runs through the top of the K-Cup where the hole was created. The water filters through the ground coffee inside and comes out of the bottom by the second hole that was created. Hot steaming coffee drips into a waiting coffee cup below.

K-Cups offer many benefits for businesses and companies. Since the Keurig machine makes single servings of coffee, a lot of money is saved. Money is saved because no coffee is wasted. Many businesses have traditional pots of coffee which brew about 10 or 12 cups at a time. All too often, people will begin to brew a pot of coffee, return ...
... to their work area while it is brewing, and then forget about it. When they finally return, the coffee is old and bitter from sitting there. Therefore, they pour out the coffee and start all over. Using K-cups can relieve this problem because people can brew one cup of coffee at a time which is less wasteful.

Another benefit to using K-Cups is the variety of coffee available. Coffee drinkers can be rather selective about their coffee. Some prefer dark bold roasts while others like a flavor, such as vanilla or hazelnut. Since K-Cups make single servings of coffee, all the various preferences of coffee drinkers can be met by purchasing variety packs of K-Cups. These variety packs often include brew strengths, flavors, blends, and caffeinated, decaffeinated, or half caffeinated. Hot drinks such as hot chocolate and tea are also available in K-Cups.

K-Cups are hugely popular at businesses because people love how easy the machine is to use and the fact that it makes a fresh hot cup of coffee every time.
