The Best Single-Serve Coffee Collections to Explore New Flavors
Click here to read the full article.
Gone are the days of having to brew a pot of coffee when you just want one cup. Ever since Keurig launched its single-serve brewers and pods for offices in 1998 and added the home versions in 2004, coffee service for one has been a growing phenomenon. As a result, it’s easier than ever to switch up the kind of coffee you consume. Now you can start the day with a mug of strong French roast and have a mid-morning cup of a lighter breakfast blend, followed by a cup of post-dinner decaf. And if only one person in the house likes hazelnut or French vanilla flavored coffee? No problem!
So convenient for busy people on the go, families with different coffee preferences and offices with co-workers on varying caffeine-fix schedules, single-serve coffee pods make it easy for everyone to have a hot and fresh cup of joe whenever they desire, with practically no effort. Plus, variety collections let everyone find their favorite brands, flavors and varieties without risk.
