With the cold months upon us people are out enjoying the holiday shopping and drinking hot K cups that suit the time of year. What are K cups? K cups are a fast and easy solution for having instantly hot beverages at the press of a button. Originally the K Cup was designed for fast and great tasting cups of coffee with only having to insert a “K Cup” (which is a plastic cup filled with coffee) into the machine and then pressing one button which then brews a single cup of great tasting coffee. Keurig eventually expanded the line of flavors to anything from coffee, tea, to hot chocolate.
