Green Mountain has released the following list of alternative products to deal with the termination of the Timothy’s Word line. First column is the discontinued Timothy’s product, second and third columns are suggested replacement products.

Starbucks K-cups are Coming

CoffeeGeek — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 15:49:36 +0000

In today’s press release Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has announced a partnership with Starbucks Corp. to be the exclusive “Super-Premium Coffee Brand” for the Keurig single serve coffee system. According to the report Starbucks will begin offering branded “k-cups” this fall in retail food and department stores with future plans to make both Keurig brewers and Starbucks k-cups available at Starbucks stores and on their own retail websites.

This marks an important step forward for Starbucks in the single cup coffee retail market. Recent announcements from Starbucks concerning their desire to terminate a relationship with Kraft Foods, who currently distributes Starbucks single cup coffee “t-discs” for the Tassimo single cup machine has left the industry guessing as to the direction Starbucks might take.

Keurig’s proprietary brewing technology now dominates the retail single cup market with well over 180 varieties of coffee and tea available from various roasters. Last year we saw the addition of the Folgers and Millstone coffee brands in retail stores. Starbucks will now add to this ever growing selection with their own premium coffee and teas from the Tazo line.

Announcement of the joint project has caused a surge of both Green Mountain and Starbucks stock.

K cup Prices on The Rise Again

CoffeeGeek — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 14:50:54 +0000

We recently received notice from Green Mountain Coffee that the price of K-Cups for the Keurig coffee system, will be going up once again. Green Mountain sites issues such as sustained increases in the cost of the high-quality Arabica coffee, higher energy and transportation costs as the reasons. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters owns all former licensed k-cup roasters, which means the increase will affect the prices of all k-cups. This new price increase will go into effect February 1st, 2011. As a licensed Keurig Authorized Distributor (KAD) for the past 10 years, you can be sure that American Coffee Services will make every effort to offer you the best products at very competitive prices.
