Keurig Dr Pepper is spearheading a groundbreaking eco-friendly coffee revolution with its latest innovation agenda for the Keurig® single-serve brewing system. At the forefront of this initiative is the introduction of K-Rounds™ plastic-free pods, marking a significant leap towards sustainability in the coffee industry.

Crafted from carefully roasted coffee beans and encased in a unique plant-based coating, K-Rounds pods eliminate the need for plastic or aluminium while preserving the flavor and aroma of the coffee. Compatible with the new Keurig Alta™ brewer, these pods empower consumers to effortlessly create a variety of barista-style beverages, from bold espressos to rich coffees and refreshing cold brews.

Keurig is committed to refining the system based on consumer feedback gathered through beta testing phases, scheduled to commence in fall 2024. By collaborating closely with retailers and coffee brand partners, Keurig aims to optimize the system before its wider release, ensuring it meets the evolving preferences of coffee enthusiasts.

The innovative design of K-Rounds allows brewing at both high and low pressures, catering to diverse coffee preferences without the need for costly coffeehouse visits. Equipped with a unique code, each pod is automatically recognized by the Keurig Alta brewer, adjusting the pressure and extraction profile for an optimal flavor experience. After use, K-Rounds pods can be disposed of like coffee grounds, contributing to a sustainable coffee brewing experience.

Chairman and CEO Bob Gamgort expresses Keurig's commitment to revolutionizing coffee brewing, stating, "Our ambitious agenda reflects our commitment to providing variety, quality, value, and sustainability to millions of coffee consumers." With a focus on sustainability and innovation, Keurig aims to redefine the coffee brewing experience for households across North America.

In addition to K-Rounds pods, the new Keurig Alta brewer remains compatible with existing K-Cup® pods, offering users access to over 500 varieties provided by the Keurig family of brands. Join Keurig Dr Pepper's eco-friendly coffee revolution and savor the perfect cup of coffee prepared effortlessly at home.
