Our Keurig Adventure in Vermont!

by on

Passionate. Sincere. Driven. Brilliant. These are the words that come to mind when I think of the team that brings Keurig to life. Keurig is a brand that prides itself on the ability to create a consistent beverage experience every single time. They have changed the way we perceive coffee, tea and iced beverages, and in so doing, changed our actual lives. It has never been so easy to have what you want, when you want it! But the amazing thing is, that doesn't stop them from trying to make the experience even better.

I was thrilled to have the chance to travel to the Keurig Innovation Center in Vermont.

My compatriots Allye, Mary DeAngelis, new hosts Elise Ivy and Katie McGee, and our very own Mary Beth Roe.

We were treated to tastings of many different types of coffee, tea and iced beverages, and trained on the evolution of the brewers themselves. All I can say is, WOW. The latest brewer, our Today's Special Value, is beautiful, and fully featured for your beverage needs. I have found a couple of new favorite beverages that I had never tried before! I tried one there that is my new fave called Ethiopia Yirgacheffe. (Yes, I spelled it right! ) It's SO smooth. It's from their organic line.

We were all smiles as we talked about how the beverages tasted, and ultimately made us feel. Keurig knows that crafting beverages is not just about art or science, but the delicate little sweet spot that rests in between the two.

I was impressed with the Innovation Center for so many reasons. First of all, the setting is stunning.

The lush, colorful Vermont backdrop can be seen from every room in the building. The windows and completely open floor plan physically convey the feeling of openness, but it's the open minded mentality that permeates the actual business philosophy of the building. Seasoned veterans in the food and beverage industry seamlessly blend in with highly intelligent and dedicated young people filled to the brim with brilliant ideas. It is an open forum of thinking, and the best part is: they love what they are doing! Everyone is passionate and dedicated, and proud to have become such an integral part of so many people's lives.

Keurig's pursuit of the perfected beverage experience has led them to where they are now, and they won't be stopping anytime soon! Their true belief is in supplying happiness, one cup at a time..... :-)

Best,
