Caribou Coffee has renewed its partnership with Keurig Green Mountain Inc. with a 10-year agreement for the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of Caribou Coffee in Keurig pack formats for Keurig consumer and commercial hot brewing systems. As a part of the agreement, the companies will begin offering Caribou Coffee in carafe formats for the Keurig 2.0 brewing system and Keurig Bolt carafe brewing system.
"The expansion of our partnership will provide our guests with more convenience as they'll be able to enjoy their Rainforest Alliance Certified cup of Caribou Coffee through Keurig K-Carafe and Bolt packs," said Matt Spanjers, vice president of business development and strategic partnerships at Caribou Coffee, in a company press release. "To date we've sold more than 1 billion K-Cup packs and we're thrilled to continue to develop our successful partnership with Keurig."
Caribou Coffee and Keurig first entered into a partnership in January 2007. With this announcement, the companies have extended and broadened their partnership in the United States and Canada to offer Caribou Coffee in carafe formats compatible with Keurig's new Keurig 2.0 brewing system for the home and Keurig Bolt carafe brewing system for commercial settings.
Caribou Coffee K-Carafe packs are expected to be available for Keurig 2.0 brewers beginning in the spring of 2015.
