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 two Business Units. The Specialty Coffee Business Unit produces coffee, tea, and hot cocoa from its family of brands, including Tully’s Coffee®, Green Mountain Coffee®, and Newman’s Own® Organics coffee. 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 Coffee, Newman’s Own® Organics, and others.
 More than 3.6 million cups of Green Mountain Coffee were consumed. In the Keurig system broadly, over 2.7 million K-Cup® portion packs were brewed every day in FY ’08.
We have been a publicly traded company since 1993 (NASDAQ: GMCR); our 5-year cumulative total return is 578%.*
We have been recognized as a leader in the specialty coffee industry for our award-winning coffees and successful business practices. Kenneth Davids, editor of the independent CoffeeReview.com, recently gave our Fair Trade Certified™ Kenyan Highland Cooperative coffee a 93 out of a possible 100 score, and we are the only company to be rated #1 on TheCRO.com’s list of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens for two years in a row (#1 in 2006 and 2007, #2 in 2005, #5 in 2004, and #8 in 2003).
