KEURIG K-CUP HOT APPLE CIDER

Hot Apple Cider Now in K-Cup Portion Packs for Keurig Single-Cup Brewers – a New Way to Enjoy a Seasonal Favorite. Certified OU kosher.

WATERBURY, Vt.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–One of the season’s most popular beverages is now available in K-Cup® portion packs. Hot Apple Cider by Green Mountain Naturals™ squeezes the fresh-picked goodness of sweet orchard apples into K-Cups® designed for Keurig® Single-Cup Brewing Systems.

“When we asked Keurig users what they’d like to see offered in a K-Cup, apple cider was overwhelmingly requested most often”

Hot Apple Cider K-Cups are made with real apples, brown sugar, and a touch of cinnamon. Within seconds, the Keurig Single-Cup Brewer creates a warm, comforting mug of cider at the touch of a button. Hot Apple Cider is the first beverage from the Green Mountain Naturals™ brand, a line of K-Cups with naturally delicious fruit-based beverages made from simple ingredients, without any artificial flavors or preservatives.

“When we asked Keurig users what they’d like to see offered in a K-Cup, apple cider was overwhelmingly requested most often,” said Ken Crites, Marketing Director for the Specialty Coffee business unit of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. “Unlike instant versions, our Hot Apple Cider is Keurig Brewed, using real apples and extracting the flavor through the hot water and pressure from the Keurig brewer. We believe Hot Apple Cider from Green Mountain Naturals will appeal to the whole family and give people yet another way to enjoy their Keurig Brewer.”

Hot Apple Cider K-Cup portion packs are available at www.GreenMountainCoffee.com, www.Keurig.com, and www.BusinessCoffeeExpress.com through February 2011. A box of 24 K-Cups sells for $18.45. Hot Apple Cider K-Cups will also be available at select retailers in 16-count boxes as a fall seasonal item, and in 24-count boxes for offices on November 15.
