Green Mountain Coffee Introduces Two New Ways to Turbo-Charge Your Day
WATERBURY, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Responding to the exploding consumer interest in energy drinks, Green Mountain Coffee® has introduced two new K-Cup® portion packs for Keurig® Single-Cup Brewers that contain more coffee and more kick. revv™ and revv Pulse™ K-Cups® are packed with 100% Arabica coffee to create a stimulating cup of rich body, smooth balance, and high-octane energy.
“revv packs more coffee into every K-Cup, so you can super-charge your day without extra sugar or calories,” said T.J. Whalen, VP of Marketing for the Specialty Coffee Business Unit of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. “If you need to get into gear and keep it going, we suggest revv Pulse—a rich brew that boosts alertness without compromising on taste. Ginseng and guarana are natural additions to revv’s high-performance power.”
revv and revv Pulse were designed to appeal to the same active consumers who made energy drinks the fastest-growing beverage category in the U.S. According to a 2009 report from Mintel International Group, 50% of adults surveyed say they drink coffee for an energy boost.
To build on the excitement of these two new K-Cups, revv and revv Pulse samples will be handed out March 18-20 at the Burton US Open Snowboarding Championships at Stratton Mountain Resort in Vermont. Coffee lovers will also have a chance to win a snowboard or a Keurig Single-Cup Brewer by playing “revv Charge,” a timed racing challenge at www.revvcoffee.com. revv is also on Facebook (www.facebook.com/revvcoffee) and Twitter (@revvcoffee), for those who want to share their high-performance revv experience.

(NASDAQ: GMCR), and is a leading roaster of specialty coffee in K-Cups. revv and revv Pulse K-Cups are available through Office Coffee Distributors, and at www.revvcoffee.com, www.GreenMountainCoffee.com, and www.Keurig.com.
