Ah, well if a company makes k-cups I wouldn't expect them to make decent espresso. Not sure what the OP is getting at.

- joezydeco 11y agoThere is usually no coffee supply connection between the company operating coffee shops and the company producing retail coffee for sale. The Dunkin' Donuts coffee you buy in the grocery store is made by JM Smuckers (the jelly company), which also recently purchased Cafe Bustelo.
- pasbesoin 11y agoCaribou is a chain out of Minneapolis / St Paul (the "Twin Cities"), if I recall correctly. I'm not saying they were particularly good. What I meant was, Peet's was somewhat better, bought out their local locations, and announced that Peet's shops were coming. Instead, in Dad's location, they got another Dunkin Donuts. Overall, I've not heard of Peet's actually opening stores in any of the locations they purchased. I don't know what's behind all that. But the end result has not been an improvement in product/choice, in our area. Anyway... I wouldn't have mentioned it, except there was the OP about the Keurig deal. My personal perspective is that if and as Peet's was once a well-regarded set of shops in the Bay area, it's quite another thing, now. As such, Keurig deals and the like not only don't excite me, they engender an actively negative reaction. Perhaps that says something about putting growth before quality.
