The K cup Anatomy

see how a k-cup is made

James Freeman, owner of Blue Bottle Café in San Francisco, just got a new specially-designed Japanese-imported coffeemaker for the whopping price tag of $20,000. The machine produces drip coffee.

Rather than stocking his café  with the polished, pressure-driven Italian equipment that will produce trendy, yummy espressos, Freeman is devoted to drip java for one simple, straightforward reason: filter java tastes amazing! Coffee gurus state that while espresso is exceptional in its own right, its high pedestal doesn’t actually stand too far from the challenging beauty of filter coffee.

Freeman states, as reported in the New York Times, “siphon coffee is very delicate—it’s sweeter and juicier, and the flavors modify as the heat alters. Occasionally it has a texture so light it’s almost moussey.    

To obtain some of that delicious drip java, you don’t need to cash out $20,000 like Freeman. Keurig brewers gives gourmet coffee for even less than 1% of that extremely valued Japanese drip java maker. Keurig makers deliver the same high-quality tastes, so easily controlled and altered to your specific taste choices, starting from $99.95.

So how do Keurig machines deliver a cup of coffee that tastes better compared to the typical joe? A lot of this perfection is balanced perfectly on the anatomy of a Keurig K-Cup. Keurig makers, unlike other one-cup machines, deliver fresh coffee each and every time at the touch of a button. However how does it all work?

Layer One: Plastic

The plastic K-Cup layer is made to help keep the dampness away, the flavors in. When coffee is ground, flavors are quickly released. Preferably, coffee ought to be swallowed immediately after grinding. But for those who don’t have time to measure, dispense, grind and place java into machines, Keurig machines present a fabulous alternative. The high-quality, fresh coffee is packaged into an airtight container, right away after grinding. While the K-Cup coffee is waiting to be drunk, this plastic layer shields java from dampness, light and oxygen. The plastic layer of K-Cups allows coffee made by Keurig makers to always taste their finest. The container also withstands pressure to ensure that K-Cup structure holds when its punctured. The plastic part of the K-Cup allows for the coffee within to never be compressed or disturbed.

Layer Two: Foil

The coffee is sealed inside the K-Cup container by a removable foil lid. Similar to the plastic layer, the foil also helps keep the aromas and tastes smell in! But the foil top also enables the Keurig appliance to easily access the fresh coffee. During the brewing process, after the h2o is warmed up to the preferred heat, the device punctures the top of K-Cup, the foil lid. Water is then pumped throughout the K-Cup to create java. This particular piece of foil may not seem like much however it’s a fine line that stands between you and fresh java. Without it, there would be no fresh coffee, and if replaced by something else, the java wouldn’t be efficiently accessible.

Layer Three: Filter

Without the filter your straightforward drip java wouldn’t be as efficient. The equipment would simply press the java grinds straight through the plastic K-Cup. You’d be left with a cup full of grinds, like classic Turkish java. If you wanted to  rid of the grinds, you might have to fuss with your java just as if you would a French Press coffee—by scraping out the coffee grinds yourself. A filter, already perfectly in place, allows you to immediately begin brewing without any problems. The filter exactly located along at the bottom of your K-Cup already keeps the luscious freshly ground coffee that you want to consume.

There is zero need for measuring, filling, grinding, removing in the Keurig brewing process. Keurig K-Cups permit your own refreshing java to be made at the single touch of a button. The technology associated with Keurig K-Cups is like the development of sliced bread. Efficient, mouth watering, as well as fresh. If any one of the those components in your beloved pack of sliced bread had been changed, it simply would not be as fantastic. If you get rid of that plastic bag, the bread wouldn’t be fresh. If you didn’t have the loaf pre-sliced, the entire sandwich making process would not be as convenient. Also, Keurig K-Cups, a convenient advancement, is makes the fine-tuned process of making coffee basic! Well-oiled and perfectly-tuned, Keurig brewers make java time that much more mouth watering.

Complimentary coffee is a great perk still offered to employees of large businesses and works to keep employees focused and on task. While some people reach for the java all day long, others are just looking for that wake-me-up-and-get-me-moving cup of joe early in the morning or during that late afternoon lull many people face.

Reaching for the coffeepot only to find it empty is a real let-down for employees, not a happy perk? Additionally, there are others who will make it to the coffeepot only to be disappointed with a cup of mud which has been sitting for hours? And let’s not forget the employees found wasting valuable time scrubbing the burned coffeepot that greeted them when they went to take advantage of this generous “perk” offered them.

You could call the Keurig B3000 the bottomless cup producer. You could call yourself an office hero for introducing it to your staff. The Keurig B3000 is plumbed directly into a water line, doing away with the ‘it’s always me making the coffee’ syndrome. Each individual will have the privilege of quickly brewing his or her own fresh hot cup of coffee. No more guessing how long the coffee has been sitting around. The direct line allows for a freshly brewed cup every 60 seconds.

Because the B3000 uses a unique K-Cup design each and every individual cup is brewed to size; you can even choose from four, six, eight, and ten-ounce cup sizes based on how much or how little you enjoy. There will be no more scraping that burned coffeepot with a scowl on your face. The Keurig B3000 is designed to not only solve the problems listed above, but also put money back into the pockets of those brilliant employers who will reclaim this perk as just that–truly a perk! The Keurig B3000 also cuts down on waste; and insures that each person gets their brew the strength they prefer. No more drama over who can’t get their work done because they feel they must play maid to the entire staff and take care of the messes every day with the automatic K-Cup ejection and storage facility feature.

Reflectively, by reclaiming this perk you are creating a more positive atmosphere–showing your staff you appreciate them–and you are improving their working conditions and yours. With the diversity found in today’s business world many people will take advantage of the digital, easy to read user interface that allows you to select from three different languages.

This coffee connoisseur’s delight does not need a flashy sales pitch; after you’ve tried a cup you will be sold. Their website even has a free 3-day in-office trial. The Keurig B3000 is by far the most innovative piece of office equipment created in a very long time.
