Next Generation Keurig 2.0 System, First To Brew Both A Single Cup And A Four-Cup Carafe, Now Available

WATERBURY, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (Keurig) (NASDAQ: GMCR), a leader in specialty coffee, coffee makers, teas and other beverages with its innovative brewing technology, continues to change the way consumers in the United States and Canada brew coffee at home with the release of the new Keurig® 2.0 hot beverage brewing system. This weekend, Keurig® 2.0 made its debut on Keurig.com and national retailers' websites, as well as at the flagship Keurig® Store in Burlington, Mass., where consumers can be among the first to experience the new system in person. Roll-out at retail partners nationwide will follow in the coming weeks.

Keurig® 2.0 is the first Keurig® brewer to brew both a single cup and a four-cup carafe from a Keurig® brand pack. This innovation delivers everything consumers know and love about Keurig - and more - with game-changing performance and function, unprecedented beverage choice, simplicity and convenience, and timeless design appeal.

"Our new Keurig 2.0 system is the next innovative step for our hot beverage brewing system," said Brian Kelley, President and CEO of Keurig. "Eleven years ago, we revolutionized the way consumers brewed coffee in the home with a single cup system, and we've used the knowledge and expertise we've gained along the way to form the basis for continued innovation. We're thrilled to have changed the game yet again by offering consumers the ability to brew a variety of sizes, from a single cup to a carafe, and choose from more than 290 varieties from more than 50 brands, all within one system, Keurig 2.0."

In addition to brewing both a single cup and a carafe, Keurig 2.0 is the first Keurig brewer to feature Keurig 2.0 Brewing Technology™, which enables the brewer to recognize the inserted Keurig® pack and optimize to the recommended, customized setting for that particular beverage. The Keurig 2.0 Brewing Technology ensures that the Keurig 2.0 system delivers on the promise of excellent quality beverages, produced simply and consistently, every single time.

"We're confident that Keurig 2.0 is going to extend the Keurig appeal to an entirely new group of consumers, including those for whom a single serving of coffee isn't always enough, and we're excited to show them how Keurig can change their hot beverage brewing experience as it has for so many already," continued Kelley. "We've heard from Keurig owners and non-owners alike that the ability to brew a carafe of coffee is important to them, whether they're entertaining or just looking to experience a larger beverage quantity in the morning before heading out to work. We look forward to bringing Keurig simplicity and quality to an even broader group of consumers by now offering the ability to brew both a single cup and a carafe with Keurig 2.0."

The Keurig® 2.0 system is available in the K500, K400 and K300 series.

In addition, all Keurig® 2.0 brewers sold will include a plastic Keurig™ 2.0 carafe in the box. A stainless steel Keurig™ 2.0 Thermal Carafe is available for purchase as an accessory ($29.99 SRP).
