Green Mountain Cafe – The Green Mountain Coffee Blog

The President’s Day holiday weekend is typically one of the busiest skiing and riding weekends at resorts across Vermont.  This year proved to be no different, as thousands of visitors chose to learn what those of us who live here have known for generations — for winter sports in the East, you just can’t beat what Vermont has to offer.  We’ve been a little light on the white stuff so far this season, but all the ski areas were geared up, groomed, and ready to go nonetheless.

To join in the fun, we had a sampling team take to the slopes at Killington, where they dispensed hundreds of samples of, among other offerings, our delicious Fair Trade Winter seasonals — Wicked Winter Blend and Golden French Toast.  Many of the samples came from K-Cups, brewed on the spot using Keurig B60 Special Edition Brewers.

Many more samples were distributed by mobile brand ambassadors, armed with special beverage-dispensing backpacks.  This intrepid coffee infantry was able to bring fresh, hot Green Mountain Coffee right to folks in lift lines and around the base lodges…right where people needed it most.

You know what they say about Vermont — it’s ten months of winter and two months of really poor sledding.  So don’t worry if you haven’t made it up here to frolic in nature’s playground yet this winter, there’s still plenty of time to do so.

See you on the slopes….

I’m know I’m not alone in the world when I admit I’m not a huge fan of the holidays. I wouldn’t consider myself a “Scrooge”, and I actually enjoy the gift giving aspect of the holidays. But what I don’t enjoy is all the work it takes to reach the gift giving point: the dreaded question ‘what to get?’, finding the right gift, wrapping it, shipping or delivering it.

Keurig Tutorial

This year I made it easy on myself…and my friends and family. Keurig ® Brewers and K-Cups® for everyone! Who doesn’t need a fast, great tasting cup of coffee?!

You’re probably asking: how do I know everyone will love their Keurig Brewer? Simple. Between the endless customer reviews, blog posts, Tweets and social media fans, I was sold.  Read all the buzz here and you too will be convinced this is the easiest gift – for both the giver and receiver. Happy shopping.

While flipping through the TV channels with your early morning cup of Nantucket Blend or a late night mug of Fair Trade Eggnog, you may have stumbled upon our brand new Keurig commercial. The new spot is popping up all over the airwaves – Ellen, House Hunters, Iron Chef and many more – and now on our blog, too!

Take a peek:

A big thanks to the Keurig team for producing such a fantastic spot!

With the new holiday ad out, all we can say is, “Let the season begin!”

With apologies to Jackson Browne, apparently lawyers are in love with our Keurig brewers.  So says the Legal Pad, a California law blog.  In their story We Spill the Beans on Bingham’s All-Nighter Secret, they wax poetic about the synergies of Keurig brewers, gourmet coffee, and pulling all-nighters.  Here’s the most amusing quote:

the machine emits “a weird blue light, like from ET,” Caraccio said. “I stared at it a lot during the all-nighters.”

For all-nighters, I recommend our Extra Bold Dark Magic, for obvious reasons.
