Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Announces Change in Sales & Marketing Organization
WATERBURY, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 15, 2005--Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc., (NASDAQ: GMCR) announced today that Daniel R. Martin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, has accepted the position of President and Chief Executive Officer for R. Twining & Company's North American business. He will be leaving Green Mountain Coffee Roasters effective March 11, 2005.
Martin, who joined the Company in December 2002, has managed sales and marketing teams that produced eight consecutive quarters of increased sales growth, while fulfilling growth initiatives outside the New England market and establishing Green Mountain Coffee Roasters as a stronger national brand.
Robert Stiller, President and CEO of Green Mountain Coffee, said, "Dan has been an asset to this Company and we thank him for the integrity and passion he brought to this organization. All of us wish him success in his new role."
Martin said, "The last couple of years have been fantastic ones for me here at Green Mountain Coffee. The culture, entrepreneurial spirit, and passion to make the world a better place have made my experience here truly outstanding. However, I was approached with a career opportunity that was simply too good to pass up. So, it is with very bittersweet emotions that I share today the news that I will be leaving Green Mountain Coffee next month to pursue the exciting role of President and Chief Executive Officer at R. Twining & Company's North American business."
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. is a leader in the specialty coffee industry and offers over 100 coffee selections including estate, certified organic, Fair Trade, signature blends, and flavored coffees that it sells under the Green Mountain Coffee Roasters(R) and Newman's Own(R) Organics brands. While the majority of Green Mountain Coffee's revenue is derived from its wholesale operations, the Company also operates a direct mail business and an e-commerce website (www.GreenMountainCoffee.com) from its Waterbury, Vermont headquarters. Each year the Company contributes at least five percent of its pre-tax profits to support socially responsible initiatives. Based on its performance, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has been recognized for the past five years as one of Forbes Magazine's "200 Best Small Companies," for the past two years in the top ten on Business Ethics magazine's list of "100 Best Corporate Citizens," and in 2004 as one of the Society of Human Resource Management's "Best Medium Companies to Work for in America."

View entire thread: coffee shop in a VERY seasonal town... your thoughts?
Posted by bayside on 2007-09-11 21:05:57 Post Subject: coffee shop in a VERY seasonal town... your thoughts?
Hi everyone, I will start like most threads here start like...
I''m new and looking at a new business venture...
but to give more detail:
I''m 23 years old, had my own business from 18-21 (gas station/c-store/bait and tackle shop on the ocean) in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. I''m currently opening up a few more shops for next season, but all of that is really irrelevant other than simply for background.
My girlfriends mother would love to open a coffee / capp. shop in the area, I told her I would look into it, because finally I have someone to talk to about my non-stop obsession of new business ideas. My father, also getting into small business'', already has an investment in a small coffee shop in a town close by, and we would probably go with the same beens, seeing its a decent brand, and its not green mountain coffee (which is the majority around here, hell even I sell it and drink it).
I am curious if anyone has a shop in a seasonal area?
My season is roughly 3 months... but let me take this down for you:
June - start of season, yet basically useless because everyones kids are still in school, so a good starter season, get ready for business;
July- Yay, we had the forth... where did everyone go? and their back for the last week or so;
August- HOLY $H!T!!! all out craziness.... then September 1st rolls around and every business owner hangs them self because there is... well, no business. end of season.
MY numbers are as such- roughly 1 million people walk by/close by within this season, the rent is roughly 10 grand a season start up costs I think will run me about 5-10k depending on lease or own. I am thinking lease mainly because I want to see how it goes first year, and if it does well, buy new. Also considering buying used for a year to see how it goes.
My question again, is are you seasonal, and if so, how well does it work for you? let me repeat, there is no way this place will work year round. I cant even come up with a metaphor for you to understand how desolate this place can be.
Thank you for reading my jarble and responding.

Posted by Liliput on 2006-09-30 12:27:06 Post Subject: Biodegradable EcoContainer Cups?
Hi, has anyone tried the Ecotainer cups from International paper/Green Mountain Coffee Roasters?
I am looking at opening a coffee shop early next year and am thinking about using them.
The Clovernook centre in Ohio sells them 16oz 500/ 36.50 US
They are the same cup the US Navy uses.
Anyone heard anything neg or pos about the cups? Does anyone use a different biodegradable cup? I think Dixie makes one.
What about the corn based polylactide clear plastic wares for cool drinks, cutlery, straws, containers, etc... anyone using any of those?
TIA for any feedback,
cheers

View entire thread: Coffee Cart start up questions
Posted by jerrygarcia39 on 2006-10-16 16:41:32 Post Subject: Coffee Cart start up questions
I work at a ski resort in Vermont that gets plus/minus 365,000 skier vists from Nov-April, 10-15,000 golfers from May-August and another few thousand leaf peepers in the fall.
Currently we have no coffee offerings, save a small Green Mountain Coffee counter that is underwhelming.
I have the ability to start up a coffee cart business w/out paying rent for two years and, after that, at a fractional percentage of net revenue (less than 3%).
Any thoughts on general start up costs relating to a smallish cart offering coffee and esp only (at first)?
Not looking to get rich here as my full time job is with the resort but we need to offer more coffee related options to guests (50% are from Quebec and they love/are willing to pay, for good coffee), and making a bit on the side would suit me fine.
We do between 5,000-7,000 people a day on weekends (40% more on holidays weeks), 1,500-3,000 per day on midweeks, and just abouot everyone has to funnel through the area where this potential cart would live.
Appreciate any and all thoughts relative to the start up/profitability issues here.
Thanks so much.

I have been amazed with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters' coffee of the month club for their Special Reserve coffees. The Panama La Esmeralda Geisha is incredible. The Rwanda Karaba Bourbon had some citrus and honey notes that were... wow. Sorry, I don't have the vocabulary to describe coffee that well. There also are clubs with other Green Mountain Coffee Roasters coffees, but the Special Reserve is something to stand up and take notice of.

I have a friend over here in Australia who's come back from the States raving about Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. I tried some of the coffee he brought back, and it's pretty good, although not the best i've tasted. He reckons i'm crazy.
So, who's right? Him or me? What does everyone here think of their coffee?

Green Mountain Coffee is on the web - you can do your own fact checking. They sell into many kinds of businesses and have a big product line. They are the roaster for Exxon Mobil company owned On The Run branded c-stores. They are also big in the Keurig single cup system.
With any company with a big product line and many different customers there are bound to be winners and losers.
I've had some wonderful Green Mountain Coffees. But I would not vouch for every coffee everywhere it is served.
Caveat emptor. Buyer beware.

For over a year, I've been drinking Green Mountain Coffee's Fair Trade Organic Espresso Blend. Ken Davids called it, "a muscular American-style straight shot."
Every day in my house starts with two double shots, straight up. The crema (achieved without any robusta) is reliably a thick red-brown. I have tall thin shot glasses that I pull shots into and crema goes all the way to the bottom as the shot finishes. It takes a good 30 seconds to settle.

One of the espresso gods once told me, "until you've pulled 1,000 espresso shots, don't even think of calling yourself a barista." So... it's just like getting to Carnegie Hall. Practice, practice, practice.
That said, all the practice with a bad grind isn't going to get you there. I bought a Mini Mazzer last month and have just about dialed it in for my machine (Isomac Millennium). Before that I had a Solis Maestro Plus and I can recommend the Solis over the Mazzer for home use. Slam dunk, no question, better for the application.
As far as 100 percent Arabica, here's a little known fact. 70 percent of all coffee grown is Arabica. I've cupped some surprisingly good Robustas and some poop-nasty Arabicas. Arabica is not going to tell you as much as other attributes. Many common (and even famous) expresso blends include some robusta - it is an easy way to get good crema. There are espresso blends that are 100 percent Arabica but unless the roasters really know what they are doing, they are not going to deliver great crema.
My recommendations (aside from practice and get a good grinder) are to get an instructional video. There is a decent selection on wholelattelove.com. As far as a coffee to try, my house coffee is Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Fair Trade Organic Espresso Blend. When I was getting started, I used about 2 lbs to get it right.

If you go to coffeereview.com you can find professionally reviewed coffees and sort by both fair trade and organic. I've had good experiences with The Roasterie in St. Louis and Green Mountain Coffee from Vermont. Pura Vida is 100 percent FT, but I didn't think their coffee was that great (French Roast and Kilimanjaro Blend). Bucks Country in PA has some extraordinary FT coffee, too.

Hmmm. If your friend is starting a restaurant, one thing she is going to be short on is time. I would be reluctant to advise her to get into roasting. That's a skill and it is time she probably does not have, at least until she's got the core business up and stable.
Depending on the customers, she might want to go with a branded program like Illy of Lavazza. It is canned coffee, but would support the Italian theme. If she uses espresso pods, that is one less thing to worry about. It won't be the best espresso you've ever had, but how good does it need to be?
If the espresso is going to be more of a centerpiece, then I'd say look for a coffee that also has some marketing appeal. If Illy ain't it on the taste side, take a look at Green Mountain Coffee's Dark Magic Espresso Blend. Earlier this month it won a bronze medal in London. I think it was at the Great Tastes specialty food show.
You can also check out the espressos on coffee review. http://www.coffeereview.com/allreviews.cfm?search=3 There have been great reviews lately.
Good luck.

You can also check out the espressos on coffee review. http://www.coffeereview.com/allreviews.cfm?search=3 There have been great reviews lately.
Good luck.

The transfair web site http://www.transfairusa.org/ and use their store finder. You can also call roasters themselves toll free and ask for a coffee shop in a given city.
Green Mountain Coffee (888) 879-4627
Peets 1.800.999.2132
Buck's County 800-844-8790
There are 2 indepdents in Grinnell, Iowa. One is typical college coffee bat and the other seems like a trendy urban coffee bar that got lost in small town Iowa.
I bet every college down has some great coffee shops.
you get the idea. Have a great trip.

It looks as though I am a little late to reply, but I wanted to put in my two cents. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is a fabulous company and I HIGHLY recommend them. They are the top selling double certified Fair Trade coffee roasters. They serve a quality product and will go out of their way to make sure that you are happy with the product. I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things they do, including working with Heifer International (fights world hunger), Newmans and the National Wildlife Federation. When you buy from them, your money is going to help the coffee growers that live in underdeveloped countries, they also encourage localization as well as working with globalization!

New England's McDs use Green Mountain Coffee's Newman's Own Organic. It is really quite good. If fresh beats Starbucks and DuDo anytime.

I've never liked fast food's coffee black. But I haven't tried the Newman's Own w/o cream yet.
If The Pug says it's better than Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts, then I'm sold.

At the McDonald near me, their Newman/Green Mountain coffee is really not that bad. If I were to choose amongst McDonald, Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks in my area, I'd go with Micky D.

McDonalds has different suppliers around the country. The Northeast is Green Mountain Coffee. There are 4 other roasters around the country. Rumor has it that Seattle's Best is in the Pac Northwest, S&D is in the Southeast. I don't know the other two. It doesn't really matter - they are following a recipe.
The branding is consistent except Green Mountain, who is using their Newman's own brand - make sense, Paul's name on their salad dressing made the category.
The single coffee profile allows them to leverage their media across the country. If they tried different regional roasters and branded it that they, they would need that many more commercials. Very expensive.
If you own a coffee shop - give it a try. You've got to know how the market is moving. Don't stick you nose in the air and get flattened by the world's largest food service company.
