Keurig is a manufacturer that produces single cup coffee makers, which have become quite a hit with busy people who appreciate being able to brew one cup of perfectly made coffee at a time. Keurig's coffee k-cups are pre-ground coffee packaged in a little cup that you brew by placing it into the special Keurig brewer. While there are several brands and styles of single cup coffee brewers out there, the coffee k-cup is proprietary to Keurig and is amongst the most popular varieties on the market today. They not only offer convenience, but a simple and affordable way to enjoy gourmet style coffee at home, in the office, or anywhere with an outlet - and you can do so one cup at a time!

Ten years ago, Kaurig decided that that there was no need to brew a whole pot of coffee all the time because most people don't drink the whole pot anyway. So they decided to innovate and came up with the idea of coffee k-cups. In short, the idea behind these unique cups is simply for the coffee drinker to be able to choose the type of coffee she or he wants and brew it right away and drink it from the cup. Thus, Keurig k-cups have their own drip coffee brewer with a matching filter. This is more convenient because one can simply place the k-cup in place and brew their coffee, one mug at a time. It's all there in one cup and there is no more extra wasted coffee nor any ground coffee mess. You brew your delicious coffee drink directly into the cup that you'll be enjoying it from. Every coffee-k cup is manufactured for a single use only.

It wasn't the intention to Keurig initially to come up with these individual coffee k-cups for public consumption. In fact, it was first intended for big hotels, hospitals, planes and these types of business establishments that usually have to serve coffee every day to a huge number of people. This meant less expense on the part of the managements of these companies because they wouldn't need to wash the cups, hire people to brew the coffee and go through all the cleaning hassle. It was a successful enterprise but what made it bigger was that the same k-cup coffee could be sold to anyone. It was an idea that made Keurig launch the most novel coffee enterprise in decades.

Instead of having pay for a cup of coffee from some place like Starbucks for instance, Keurig carefully picked out the top coffee gourmet coffee roasters and invited them to create specialized k-cup coffee to be brewed in the Keurig coffee maker. They explained their concept of distributing various coffee flavors and managed to get about 200 different coffee flavors that are now available to any consumer. This means that anyone who loves coffee and is crazy about a certain flavor has a wide selection when purchasing coffee k-cups. This also gives coffee lovers the chance to taste different flavors of gourmet coffee and stocking them at home. Thus, one doesn't need to go to a place like Starbucks anymore simply to taste the coffee flavor you want. Aside from variety, it also means convenience, because k-cup coffee is designed so that you simply brew the whole cup.

Most coffee lovers really enjoy these items, because they don't have to worry about not having their supply of their favorite coffee flavor. After all, the best way to fight that sleepy morning feeling is still to drink that cup of coffee during at breakfast. (Although decaf coffee k-cups are also available.) Additionally, during the winter months when everything seems cold and dreary, what better way to get back to that merry mood than having a cup of your favorite coffee. That's why Keurig coffee k-cups are a hit!
