How do those K-Cup things work?
By now, if you are a coffee drinker, you probably have had a cup of joe from one of the single cup serving coffee makers. That’s right, I’m talking about the industry dominated by Keurig for which the single serving cups are simply known as K-Cups.

You put one into a machine, and seconds later, fresh coffee pours out. Ever wonder how the water flows through the little cup when the cup seems almost entirely intact after brewing? The video below shows the basics, and it involves a hole in the top, a hole in the bottom, and what many might not know – a mini filter INSIDE the cup that houses the coffee grounds.
