As single cup coffee brewing systems gain in popularity, the brand that has stood above the rest has been Keurig. With its K-cup coffee brewer and incredible variety of available coffees, it’s no wonder that Keurig has risen to the top. Introduced just ten years ago, the patented Keurig (pronounced kor-ig) single cup coffee system stemmed from an age-old question: why do we brew coffee a pot at a time when we drink it a cup at a time? In answering that question, the fine folks at Keurig made coffee history with one of the most versatile and innovative coffee systems on the market today.
What makes Keurig so different?
Unlike other single-cup brewing systems, Keurig doesn’t just package coffee in a little disc. Every individual K-cup is its own drip coffee brewer, complete with filter. You just pop the cup into place, press a button, and in a minute or less you will have one perfectly brewed cup of coffee, ready to drink. Cleanup is just as easy. Just eject the k-cup and toss it away. No dripping filters, no coffee grounds mess to deal with.
