'''K-Cup''' portion packs are used with [[Keurig]] single cup brewing systems to brew a cup of [[coffee]], [[tea]], or [[hot chocolate]]. Each K-Cup is a plastic container with a [[coffee filter]] inside. [[Coffee bean|Ground coffee beans]] are packed in the K-Cup and sealed air-tight with a combination plastic and foil lid. When the K-Cup is placed in a Keurig brewer, the brewer punctures the foil lid and the bottom of the K-Cup and forces hot [[water]] under pressure through the K-Cup and into a mug. Keurig licenses its K-Cup technology to coffee roasters and tea makers such as [[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]]. |
