The company will be adding equipment for a sixth K-Cup production line and upgrading the equipment of an existing line, which together will increase the facility's K-Cup output capacity by more than 40%. The upgrade and new installation is expected to cost approximately $3.1 million and come on line by this fall.

"We're adding this K-Cup packaging capacity in order to address projected increases in demand," said J. Russell Phillips, president and CEO of Diedrich Coffee. "The K-Cup market continues to grow and we intend to stay ahead of the anticipated demand as consumers increasingly move to the Keurig brewers, especially in the at-home market."

Diedrich Coffee is one of only four roasters under license to produce K-Cups for Keurig's top-selling single-cup brewing system. The award-winning design of Keurig's single-cup brewing system combines a pressurized hot water brewer with its patented K-Cups, which feature a design that preserves the freshness of specialty coffees and teas. System wide, more than 2 billion cups of Keurig Brewed(R) coffee and tea have been enjoyed since 1998.
