K-cups

[Wen]

Have any of you coffee roasters figured out how to fill new k-cups with your own coffee in an inexpensive way?

Nope....there was someone on the forum that said he could but he never got back in touch with me.

Not sure what you mean by new k-cups?

K-cups have been around for a long time, home units around 2004, with up to 5 billion k-cups sold last year. It is huge competition to coffee sold in a bag. But is there something else coming? Keurig also sells brewers that use new Vue Packs instead of K-Cup Packs. The Vue system offers more control of the brew with a wider range of mug sizes.[18] Unlike K-Cups, Vue Packs can be emptied and recycled after use.

We are talking about making our own commercial K-cup to sell our own coffee product.
There was a one person who could manufacture the k-cup for the stores but I don't think there are any generic machine out there yet.
Maybe I should look into it....lol

There were several "new" booths at SCAA this year specializing in K-Cups. Lots of different options coming for 2013. Some have the packaging and you send out coffee and some want to do it all for you. Not a big fan of the K-cup, but you can't deny the market share.
