Interesting. If Starbucks CEO has confidence in Green Mountain, then why has the share price dropped so much for GMCR? It doesn't make sense. Smells like manipulation. Perhaps the Starbucks CEO wants to lure investors into buying GMCR just to watch the stock plummet again.

Go for Newman’s Own.. it’s organic at least! Buy the basket doohickey for your Keurig, make your own.
Imagine Starbucks “promoting environmentally unfriendly plastic waste”!!
Who woulda thunk it?!!!

Sorry for my ignorance, but what, exactly, is a K-cup?

I have a Cuisinart and buy Wolfgang Puck’s Breakfast in Bed coffee.

Starbucks’ success is a testament to the reckless, wasteful spending of college-age kids with time to kill. Why wouldn’t somebody pick up a case of Green Mountain “k cups” (or a brand as good or better) at Sam’s Club or Walmart or Cosco, for a fraction of what they’d pay at a Starbucks franchise?

Starbucks K-Cups continue to see robust gains

Maybe so. But the question is what about Starbucks itself? When is that bubble going to pop? Dropped by one of their stores and bought a plain black coffee today. Horrible. Like drinking acid. McDonalds sells better coffee. And SB's frappuccinos and other sweetened drinks are basically just mediocre coffee shakes that have no coffee flavor. You can get a better one at Dairy Queen. Hard to understand the appeal.

Like other people have mentioned, Starbuck’s coffee tastes kind of burned to me. For that matter, the Green Mountain varieties have been better than average, but not great. Tully’s is currently my favorite k-cup.

Jamaica Blue Mountain is my choice; low acid for those of us with damaged digestive tracts.

I'm in the K Cup distribution business...

GMCR dropping stock price is a direct result of their patent on the K-cup and the Keurig machine is about to expire soon....GMCR owns all K Cup coffee brands and coffee makers...

There are at least two major corporations about to jump into K cup business....feet first which means competition and lower prices...GMCR total hold on the market is about to be broken...

Being in the business, I can tell you how happy it makes me this is going to happen to a biggest bunch of ass hats...
