"green mountain coffee" news and stories

Starbucks may be about to take on the single-cup coffee market. The ever-expanding giant of joe is rumored to be in talks to partner with Green Mountain Coffee, the company behind the trademarked K-Cups, those cute, convenient little single-serve portions that are used in Keurig coffeemakers, reports the New York Post. Green Mountain already reps Newman's Own, Folgers, Caribou Coffee, and Donut House K-Cups, and adding Starbucks one-cup brews would be a very showy feather in its cap. And for Starbucks? We can only guess that world domination of the caffeineated set is not far behind, one cup at a time.

I am obsessed with a coffeemaker, and I don't even drink coffee.

My roommate bought the Keurig B70, and it's great. I think it's the platinum edition, all sleek and shiny and modern. It's a single serving machine, using the individual K-cups (my roommate went crazy and bought a dozen different things to make in it - Timothy's, Ghiarardelli hot cocoa, Celestial Seasonings tea, Green Mountain coffee). To be honest, I'm using it mostly to get hot water for my tea. I'd use it to make hot cocoa, but for some reason you can't buy the K-cups with the Ghiarardelli in them, you have to buy the full-sized packets. Maybe it's because the proportions would be off?
