Green Mountain Coffee Roasters

In the history of coffee makers, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, is one of the great success stories.

Bob Stiller bought the Green Mountain Coffee company in 1981, at that stage it was a small retail outlet roasting beans on the premises.

The company now has a coffee roasting and production facility of 90,000 square feet and a staff of about 500.

The company sells specialty coffee using Arabica coffee beans and offers over 100 different selections of coffee.

These types of coffee include certified Fair Trade Coffee, certified Organic Coffee, various estate signature coffee blends.

They also sell flavored coffees under it's own Green Mountain Coffee Roasters brand along with the Newman's Own Organic Coffee brand.

What's the connection between green mountain and K cup coffee?

Let's start at the beginning. The K cup is a one cup coffee maker; a pre-sealed plastic container with a coffee filter inside.

The K cup is filled with tightly packed ground coffee beans and these coffee beans are then sealed with a combination of a plastic and foil lid.

This one cup coffee maker is then placed inside a Keurig coffee maker.

These K cups come in many different varieties and are gaining popularity as office coffee makers.

In 2006 Green Mountain bought Keurig and now offers a large selection of K cups for use with the Keurig coffee maker. Win, win.

Now you can chose the one blend or flavor that suits you most :-)
