Keurig

Single-serve coffeemaker

Keurig is a brand of single-serve coffee makers that brew one cup at a time using sealed plastic pods called K-Cups.

The name has become nearly generic for this style of machine: Does the break room have a Keurig?

The convenience comes at environmental cost—billions of pods end up in landfills annually.
