Our goal is to provide you with an extraordinary coffee experience that’s environmentally sound, socially just, and undeniably delicious. By delivering the ultimate coffee experience, we hope to inspire others to view business as a partner and contributor in the global effort to create long-term solutions and sustainability for people and ecosystems worldwide.
Since 1981, we have been roasting the finest Arabica beans from coffee-growing communities around the world, creating award-winning blends that inspire and delight the senses.
Since 2006, we have been designing and producing the leading single-cup brewing system on the market, transforming the way great coffee is brewed and enjoyed by coffee lovers everywhere.
Our operations are managed through three business units. The Specialty Coffee business unit produces coffee, tea, and hot cocoa from its family of brands, Green Mountain Coffee®, Tully's Coffee®, Timothy's World Coffee®, Diedrich Coffee®, and Coffee People®, as well as its licensed brands of Bigelow®, Caribou Coffee®, Celestial Seasonings®, Emeril's®, Gloria Jean's®, Kahlua®, Newman's Own® Organics and Twinings®. The Keurig® business unit is a pioneer and leading manufacturer of gourmet single-cup brewing systems. K-Cup® portion packs for Keurig® Single-Cup Brewers are produced by a variety of brands licensed by Keurig, including Green Mountain Coffee, Tully’s, Timothy's and Diedrich. The Canadian business unit, which is primarily the former Van Houtte business, produces, markets and sells Van Houtte®, Brûlerie St. Denis®, Les Cafés Orient Express Coffee®, and Brûlerie Mont Royal® coffees in K-Cup® portion packs and other packaging formats and is responsible for managing the Van Houtte business as well as the grocery channel for all GMCR coffee brand sales in Canada.
