“In 1999, I was introduced to Keurig’s cutting edge one-cup-at-a-time coffee brewing technology. Today that same technology has enabled Gloria Jean’s and Deidrich Coffee to distribute well over 60 million cups of coffee in just three years. Keurig brewed technology has consistently proved, time and again, that they could meet our high standards for brewing the perfect cup of coffee or tea in the office market. We at Diedrich and Gloria Jean’s are fully committed to the Keurig technology and believe there is a tremendous opportunity for Keurig in the home market as well.” - Edward Apffel, Vice President of Sales for Gloria Jean’s Gourmet Coffee and Diedrich Coffee, Inc.
