'''K-Cup''' packs are capsules designed for use with [[Keurig]] single cup brewing systems to brew a cup of [[coffee]], [[tea]], or [[hot chocolate]]. Each K-Cup pack is a plastic container with a [[coffee filter]] inside. [[Coffee bean|Ground coffee beans]] are packed in the K-Cup pack and sealed air-tight with a combination plastic and foil lid. When the K-Cup pack is placed in a Keurig brewer, the brewer punctures the foil lid and the bottom of the K-Cup pack and forces hot [[water]] under pressure through the K-Cup pack and into a mug. Only beverage capsules made or licensed by Keurig or its parent, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. ("GMCR") can be called "K-Cup® packs". Authorized K-Cup® brands include: [[Green Mountain Coffee]], Diedrich, [[Gloria Jeans]], [[Timothy's World Coffee]], [[Van Houtte]], [[Caribou Coffee]], [[Celestial Seasonings]], [[Bigelow]], [[Twinings]], [[Tully's]], [[Coffee People]] and [[Newman's Own]]. |
