Keurig Green Mountain Announces the Launch of Keurig KOLD

Delivers Fresh-Made Cold Beverages at Home at the Push of a Button,
Including Favorites from The Coca-Cola Company and Dr Pepper Snapple
Group, along with Craft Sodas, Iced Teas, Seltzers, Flavored Water,
Sports Hydration Drinks, Cocktail Mixers and More

WATERBURY, Vt.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (Keurig) (NASDAQ: GMCR), a personal beverage
system company that has revolutionized the way consumers create and
enjoy beverages, today announced the launch of the Keurig® KOLD™ system,
the first beverage system that allows consumers to freshly make cold
sparkling and still beverages at home at the push of a button, including
beloved favorites from The Coca-Cola Company and Dr Pepper Snapple Group.


“Keurig has redefined the way consumers enjoy coffee and tea in their
homes and offices and today with the launch of Keurig KOLD, we’re
embarking on a new journey that will change the way consumers enjoy cold
beverages at home,” said Brian Kelley, President and CEO of Keurig. “The
disruptive countertop-size innovation in KOLD is like nothing consumers
have ever experienced – from the rapid chilling that turns room
temperature water to a perfectly chilled drink at the push of a button;
to the dispensing technology that produces consistently great tasting
beverages; to the pod technology which enables fully carbonated
beverages. KOLD delivers game changing, on-demand variety of sparkling
or non-carbonated beverages all fresh made with Keurig simplicity.”

For the first time consumers will be able to actually make a Coca-Cola®
or a Dr Pepper® on their kitchen counter. The Keurig® KOLD™ system
encourages choice and discovery, including new and exciting exclusive
beverage brands from categories including craft and fountain-style
sodas, zero- and low-calorie flavored seltzers and waters, sports
hydration drinks, iced teas and – coming soon – cocktail mixers.

Beginning today, the new Keurig® KOLD™ system is available to order on Keurig.com
and will be sold at select retailers both online and in six cities
beginning in October, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los
Angeles and New York.

In addition to the versatility of the system and broad beverage variety
available, the Keurig® KOLD™ system incorporates innovative features and
technology, including:

  • Fresh-made. The KOLD™ pod and drinkmaker do all the work.
    Simply remove the freshness seal from the bottom of the pod, pop it
    in, push the button and freshly make a cold beverage, mixed to just
    the right taste each and every time.
  • Carbonation without a CO2 canister. To
    make carbonated beverages, the Keurig® KOLD™ system uniquely uses
    Karbonator™ beads, which are contained within the pod and hold
    beverage-grade CO2. During the drink making process, CO2
    is naturally released into the beverage to perfectly carbonate
    each drink.
  • Drinks delivered chilled. The innovative KOLD™ chiller uses an
    aerospace-inspired thermal transfer system to rapidly cool beverages
    to the ideal chilled temperature.
  • Perfectly portioned. Keurig® KOLD™ delivers beverages at an
    eight-ounce portion size, and nearly all beverages have 100 calories
    or less.
  • Space savings. KOLD™ pods need no refrigeration so consumers
    can easily store more beverage choices in their pantry or in their
    countertop KOLD™ pod carousel, offering everyone, including family and
    guests, exactly the cold beverage they want, when they want it.

Kelley concluded, “We’re excited to introduce Keurig KOLD to consumers
today and are appreciative of the strong collaboration of our beverage
brand partners, The Coca-Cola Company and Dr Pepper Snapple Group. The
inclusion of their great brands strengthens the appeal of Keurig KOLD.
In addition, we believe Coca-Cola’s marketing strengths and global
distribution capabilities will be instrumental in the years to come as
we look to expand the reach of Keurig KOLD beyond North America.”

  • From The Coca-Cola Company: Coca-Cola®, Diet Coke®, Coke Zero®,
    Sprite®, Fanta®

    Forward-Looking Statements

    Certain information in this press release constitutes “forward-looking
    statements.” Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact
    that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They
    often include words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
    “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks” or words of similar meaning, or
    future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could,” “may,”
    “aims,” “intends,” or “projects.” However, the absence of these words or
    similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not
    forward-looking. These statements may relate to the success of
    introducing and producing new product offerings. A forward-looking
    statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or
    circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur.
    Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable
    as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue
    reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements
    speak only as of the date when made. We expressly disclaim any
    obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether
    as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition,
    forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
    uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
    our historical experience and our present expectations or projections.
    These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those
    described in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and Part II “Item 7.
    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
    of Operations” in our fiscal 2014 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K,
    elsewhere in that report and those described from time to time in our
    future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
