Popular K-Cups.
- Keurig K-Cups are a popular and convenient option for coffee drinkers.
- We toured a coffee roasting facility to see how K-Cups are made.

From the Starbucks drive-thru to homemade cold brew, there are seemingly endless options when it comes to your morning cup of coffee. However, Keurig single serve brewing systems remain one of the most popular means of caffeination, largely because of their convenience (even if they've been criticized for being bad for the environment).
Here at INSIDER, we've tried plenty of flavors of K-Cups, so we were curious to see how they were made.
Barrie House Coffee Company invited us to visit their roasting plant and packaging facility to get an inside look at how K-Cups are produced. From the coffee itself to the packaging process, we learned about the nuances of single-serve pod production and what factors influence how your coffee tastes.
