First time I tried k cups coffee from Keurig`s brewer last year while visiting my cousin in Sydney. I was little surprised how much he praised this technology. Honestly my first impression was like nothing special, but after about a week I was in love with K Cups technology.
A year has passed since I returned from Australia and my old coffee machine is idle. I became a fan of K-Cup.
Sometimes I still use a simple method for making coffee that is simply put in a mug two teaspoons of ground coffee and pour hot water. This is where quite a bit lazy way and you can save on a little.
What exactly is K Cup coffee technology and why it becomes so popular?
K-Cup is a plastic container or cup with a coffee filter and ground coffee beans inside. When You place the K Cup in a Keurig brewer (I forget to say that K-Cup is Keurig`s masterpiece) the coffee machine punctures the foil lid and the bottom of the K Cup and forces hot water under high pressure through the K-Cup and into a coffee mug. System delivers the exact amount and temperature of coffee to ensure optimal flavor extraction for every serving.
The biggest advantages for me are the ease of preparation and a large selection of flavors. Time saving lets coffee lovers brew gourmet coffee, in under a minute. Pods are packed to stay fresh and free of moisture by vacuum packing.
Keurig licensees K-Cup not just to coffee roasters but tea producers as well. There are a wide variety of coffee brand names to choose from. My favorites are Green Mountain Coffee k cups, Gloria Jeans Coffee and Caribou Coffee. Tea K cups I prefer Bigelow Tea.
As I mentioned above that not just coffee k cups are available for the Keurig maker. There are big choice of hot chocolate, espresso, regular coffee, decaffeinated and various types of tea.
Service and availability in K-Cups are really great. You can choose various quantities but each package will consist of a number of pods between 108 count boxes and a couple dozen.
For example
Extra bold espresso comes in a case of two boxes, with a total of 50 K cup servings. The beans are an especially high grade. This is a very strong flavored coffee that is rich in flavor with very little bite. It does have a sweetness that can ease a sugar craving. All K cup coffee comes in single serving packages which is one of the benefits since it creates little mess. It comes from Arabica coffee beans that are found all over the world and according to Amazon, the beans are roasted in Canada.
Price: $38.95, but check for prices online, could be cheaper.
My sweet little daughter love good cup of cocoa. I like cup of chocolate too just a bit sweet for me though Green Mountain Coffee Hot Cocoa is good enough.
And turning back to beginning of my story advantages of K cups coffee and Keurig brewer by me are more than disadvantages. I found just one – a little bit more money have been spent for coffee drinking but not so much to place my Keurig coffee Master in a box.
