Exciting New Arrivals!

We're excited to announce the arrival of two new Coffee Pods from The Coffee Artisan and four new Coffee Pods from Reunion Island! We've added a great new Ethiopian Harrar light roast and the new Artisan Blend (Sumatra + Tanzania Peaberry) dark roast to our premier line of Coffee Artisan pods.

From Reunion Island, we've added their new feature flavor - Jamaican Rum Cake and 3 new 12 gram Extra Bold pods. The new Extra Bold varieties are Chocolate Buttercrunch, French Vanilla and FTO French Roast.

As always, the new pods are available in our Mixed Case and in our U-pick sampler.

Upcoming Fratello Changes

We pride ourselves on carrying the largest variety of Fratello pods on the web. We started our business selling only Fratello and have expanded the Fratello product line from the original 5 varieties back in early 2007 to over 40 varieties today.

Over the past 3 years, Fratello has changed their philosophy and is now focused on sourcing unique single-origin coffees in a Direct-Trade relationship with coffee farmers. I have seen the quality of their coffees improve every year and we have been privileged to bring you some of the finest coffees on the market today
including our exclusive Cup of Excellence pods. We are excited about some
of the new coffees Fratello is sourcing that we will be adding to our inventory
in the coming months.

After a careful analysis of our sales patterns and following Fratello's lead towards single-origin direct-trade coffees we have decided to discontinue several of Fratello's coffee pods from our lineup. We realize that one or more of these pods may be a favorite for some of you. Unfortunately, we have minimum order quantities and the pods we are discontinuing have not been moving fast enough to stay fresh. Fresh coffee is our number one priority and we are committed to only selling pods that are within their guaranteed freshness dates.

The following Fratello coffee pods will be discontinued and the remaining inventory has reached their expiration dates. These pods are currently being offered at special $4.99 per box clearance prices until they are gone. Quantities are limited, so act quickly!

newest and best coffees while maintaining our coffee freshness standards.

Chad Elliott
