It seems everyone has a single serve machine on their Christmas or birthday list. The latest trend in coffee means that you can now brew your own coffee more conveniently and it can travel well. The single cup machines are great for keeping in your office at work, taking on the road in an RV or camping trip, or even in a dorm room.
Keurig Coffee Pods?
What you may not realize though is that the Keurig coffee machines don’t call the single serve coffee packets “Keurig coffee pods”- they are known as “K-cups” when meant for use in Keurig machines only. Coffee pods were actually invented by the Senseo company. True coffee pods look a lot different. They look like a round tea bag instead of an actual cup, like the K-cup.
K-cups come in a wide variety of flavors from all your favorite gourmet coffee makers. Here is a description of some of the most popular varieties of K cups or coffee pods for Keurig machines.
