K-cups vs Ground Coffee Taste

The battle of choosing between a coffee machine that uses a k-cup and a machine that uses ground coffee has been going on since a long time.

Keurig K-Cup coffee machines favor k-cups and since they tend to produce a rich and high-quality coffee consistently every time, we don’t question if its taste if superior to other coffee machine’s coffee taste or not.
