Read the javadoc  Map lt K  V gt  forEach   expects a BiConsumer lt   super K   super V gt  as argument  and the signature of the BiConsumer lt T  U gt  abstract method is accept T t  U u    So you should pass it a lambda expression that takes two inputs as argument  the key and the value   map forEach  key  value  - gt        System out println  Key       key     Value       value         Your code would work if you called forEach   on the entry set of the map  not on the map itself   map entrySet   forEach entry - gt        System out println  Key       entry getKey       Value       entry getValue

Maybe the best way to answer the questions like  which version is faster and which one shall I use   is to look to the source code   map forEach   - from Map java   default void forEach BiConsumer lt   super K    super V gt  action        Objects requireNonNull action       for  Map Entry lt K  V gt  entry   entrySet              K k          V v          try               k   entry getKey                v   entry getValue              catch IllegalStateException ise                   this usually means the entry is no longer in the map              throw new ConcurrentModificationException ise                     action accept k  v             javadoc  map entrySet   forEach   - from Iterable java  default void forEach Consumer lt   super T gt  action        Objects requireNonNull action       for  T t   this            action accept t             javadoc  This immediately reveals that map forEach   is also using Map Entry internally  So I would not expect any performance benefit in using map forEach   over the map entrySet   forEach    So in your case the answer really depends on your personal taste      For the complete list of differences please refer to the provided javadoc links  Happy coding
