The New Keurig Kold Machine
Although the sales of Keurig 2.0 is not as high as expected, Keurig Green Mountain is going to launch its latest
Kold machine, a single-serve brewer that enables consumers to make iced coffee, iced teas, sodas and sparkling waters
at home by pressing one button. During this
critical time of the business, this Kold machine
offers the best hope for Keurig Green Mountain
to boost the sales as this product is also backed
by Coca-Cola. Although doubts have arisen over
whether the Kold machine will succeed or fail,
Keurig Green Mountain is confident that the
machine will become very popular since more
people are now drinking cold beverages as
seen in the decline of its hot brewer sales. It is
expected that Keurig will be able to reach new
consumers with the Kold machine. The machine
will be available online late this year and will be
sold in retail stores across the US next year.
