Coffee has been a staple in the lives of millions for decades. But, the dynamic of the American consumer has changed. People are moving faster and staying in the corporate game longer. Consumers are rapidly evolving with changes, which makes them in constant demand for the best of the best. They want it their way, and they want it as fast as they can. To aid them in this lifestyle, the American consumer is turning to coffee in a big way. Beyond the at-home coffee pot that the typical family would share, they are turning to coffee chains to stay on the go and get their perfect taste.
That’s where Keurig steps in.
Keurig, capable of brewing a single cup of coffee in less than a minute1, has made big waves in the coffee industry. Owned by Green Mountain Brewery2, Keurig made its start in many office buildings as a way to keep employees within the building while attaining their caffeine fix. But the buzz of Keurig’s simplicity has it expanding to households everywhere. With over 200 different flavors3 among various brands, Keurig is slowly

fulfilling the American consumers’ need for high-end flavor by cutting out the middleman and becoming their own baristas. Due to Keurig’s single serve capabilities, everyone gets the exact flavor that they want without wasting an entire pot of coffee- all within a matter of minutes. With this in mind, we plan to use our media to push these ideas hard to display that Keurig is an asset in helping these fastpaced lifestyles run smoothly. We plan on starting our campaign in mid to late fall to prime our consumers for the holiday seasons. From there, we plan on hitting graduation as well as back to school times because we feel, apart from Christmas time, these will be our biggest consumer times. Our major media that we will be using are broadcast television,

    I believe the key to future success for Keurig is differentiating their product; promoting the concept that no other coffee is as fresh. This is essential as other companies begin to tap into this market. For example, Starbucks has an agreement with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters to sell their coffee in the K-cups; however Starbucks has also recently released the Verismo Single-Cup Home Brewer. This is a high pressure system that provides the Starbucks quality coffee in a single…

    In 2006 Keurig Green Mountain made a defining decision to acquire Keurig Inc., a company who manufactured single-cup beverages. The K-Cup structure was originally intended for coffee, but has since expanded into several beverage types including fruit juices, tea, iced tea and hot chocolate. This growing sector has been beneficial to Keurig Green Mountain because demand is growing and margins are high. Additionally, as the K-Cup System has become the industry standard, Keurig Green Mountain has been able to license the technology to otherwise coffee competitors such as Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts. This technology allows the much smaller Keurig Green Mountain to stay competitive with industry goliaths like Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts, even though Keurig Green Mountain has far fewer retail outlets.…

    With declining revenues, it is important for Keurig to consider options to increase consumer base by seeking global opportunities. In 2015, the company launched the Keurig 2.0 which was aimed at increasing consumer base, but failed to do so. Unfortunately, sales of the Keurig 2.0 did not spark the interest of consumers in the U.S. and Canada because the new machine did not accept all K-cups (Peterson, 2015). Another important…

    Café Latte, a new espresso bar, is about to open in Pocatello, Idaho. The business was formed as a limited partnership between three siblings and a friend, Cynthia, Stuart, and Rob Chan, along with Jeff Burns, respectively. The Chans are somewhat knowledgeable about running a business since their parents have operated a restaurant for years, and Stuart Chan continues to manage the restaurant. The three siblings are the principals in the business, while Jeff Burns is primarily a partner for financial purposes only. Cynthia, having the most free time, has spent the most time working on the business opening. Stuart has procured the equipment for the bar, with Rob’s help. Stuart has become angry at Cynthia for not spending enough time in preparations, and feels that she and Rob are not doing their fair share of work. Stuart wants to buy out Cynthia’s share, but later just apologizes for his outburst. In order to avoid further conflicts, a work schedule was devised that permits Cynthia and Stuart to work schedules that do not overlap, and Rob will manage the operation.…

    As the K-Cup and Keurig-Cup could not replace each other, the differentiation will increase the chances of managers’ participation in in-office promotions of the Keurig at-home system. This difference would also prevent theft of K-Cups provided for office consumption. In other words, this attempt could push the deep users to purchase Cups for the brewer both in-office and at-home separately, which will increase the total sales volume as a whole.…
