The Keurig K-Cup Portion Pack - Keurig B3000 Service Manual

3. The Keurig K-Cup® Portion Pack
The Keurig B3000 Brewer may only be utilized in conjunction with the single serve portion pack
called the Keurig K-Cup. The K-Cup is fitted with a paper filter that is heat sealed to the inside
upper edge of the plastic cup.
Depending on the individual blend, up to approximately 9 to 14 grams of premium freshly
ground coffee is added. The K-Cup is nitrogen purged to remove oxygen and heat sealed with a
three ply foil lid to lock in freshness for at least 6 months.
During the brewing process water is introduced into the K-Cup under pressure via the entrance
needle, located in the Puncture Mechanism Module. The hot water extracts the coffee and passes
it through the filter paper. The exit needle, located on the outer edge of the K-Cup holder, allows
the brewed coffee to be dispensed into a cup or mug.
