Keurig now offers three new single-serve coffee makers in its new good-better-best strategy to offer an entry-level model up to a premium unit. The new single-cup brewers are the B40, B50 and B60 starting at around $99.95 for the low-end model. Keuring brewers feature the K-Cups, an entirely different format than most of the brewers on the market which utilize the round coffee pods. |

August 4th - The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE: PG), the leading U.S. coffee company*, today expanded its Home Cafe(R) line with the launch of new specialty cappuccino, latte and tea pod varieties and new appliances from the Krups(R) and Mr. Coffee(R) brands. The new machines build upon Home Cafe's successful 2004 introduction of the Black & Decker(R) and Mr. Coffee(R) single cup brewers, designed to recreate the taste and aroma of coffeehouse-style coffee in the home.
Among single-cup brewers, Home Cafe offers consumers the most coffeehouse-style beverage varieties. Home Cafe uses individual coffee, specialty and tea pods to produce single servings of fresh brewed, coffeehouse-style beverages in about a minute. Folgers(R) Cappuccino, Skinny Vanilla Latte and Lipton(R) tea pods are expected to be popular additions to an already extensive selection of black coffee pods exclusively from Folgers, America's No. 1 selling coffee brand, and Millstone(R).
For additional information on the Home Cafe coffee pods or the Home Cafe brewing system, consumers may call 1-800-homeCafe or visit http://www.homeCafe.com.

It won't make a double iced skim soy milk decaf latte with a shot of vanilla and whipped cream topped with mocha syrup to go for $4.85.
But the Philips Senseo does turn out a nice cup o' joe.
The Senseo - along with competing systems from Kraft, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, Keurig and others - are the leading edge of a campaign by coffee-maker manufacturers to bring American coffee drinkers back home.
These so-called "single-cup" machines arrive into a coffee culture that has become spoiled about the quality of their java, thanks to Starbucks and other luxury-coffee outlets. Using various forms of coffee software - pods, discs, capsules - these high-tech devices make the old stove-top espresso boiler or French press brewer positively primitive by comparison. One of the products, in fact, reads a bar code on the coffee capsule to determine how much water to pump through.
