Yes, you can make tea in a K-Cup brewer. The trick is to use tea pods made for it, instead of a coffee pod. Here is how it works.
Why tea pods are different from coffee pods
A tea pod has the same shape as a K-Cup, so it fits the brewer. Inside there is tea instead of ground coffee. That means your cup tastes like tea, with no coffee flavor from the pod.

How to brew tea in a K-Cup brewer
- Fill the water reservoir with fresh water.
- Insert the tea pod and close the lid.
- Choose a small cup size. Smaller sizes give a fuller taste.
- Brew, then let the tea rest for a few seconds.
Which tea should you try?
- Everyday black tea: English Breakfast or Earl Grey.
- Light and fresh: Green tea.
- Caffeine-free: Peppermint.
