Keurig Green Mountain Inc and Community Coffee Company have announced a multi-year licensing, manufacturing, and distribution agreement to bring Community coffee to Keurig portion pack formats for consumer and commercial Keurig hot brewing systems.
The new, licensed Community coffee K-Cup packs plan to launch in spring 2015 for in home and away from home use, with extensions into K-Carafe packs for the Keurig 2.0 brewing system and Bolt packs for the Keurig Bolt Carafe Brewing System in the future. All Community coffee K-Cup packs will be marked with the Keurig Brewed seal indicating the product has passed rigorous testing, assuring the quality, taste, and integrity consumers expect from the Keurig brand.
“Consumers tell us that they choose Keurig brewers for the quality, simplicity, and variety of brands and beverages available in the system,” said John Whoriskey, president of US sales and marketing at Keurig. “Welcoming a premium brand like Community coffee into the mix means the loyal fans of Community coffee will be able to enjoy the coffee they know and love with the quality and consistency they expect from their Keurig brewer.”
Community Coffee Company, a fourth generation family owned business, has sold premium quality coffees since 1919. Today, the company has grown to become the largest family owned and operated retail coffee brand in America. Community Coffee Company imports, roasts, and distributes its premium coffees through retail stores, restaurants, offices, convenience stores, and hospitality channels, while using only the top 10% of coffee beans in the world to make its delicious, rich and smooth coffees.
“Community Coffee Company continues to experience explosive growth and remains deeply committed to providing the highest quality coffee experience for our customers,” said David Belanger, president and CEO of Community Coffee Company. “Partnering with Keurig allows us to further extend our products in a format that is highly desired by consumers and we are very excited about this opportunity.”
