    Will Keurig Kold Be A Hot Seller?

    Will you crave a freshly made cold soda, as much as you crave a freshly brewed cup of coffee? Meet Keurig Kold.

     

    If you have a Keurig K-Cup machine, you'll be probably be surprised at how much bigger their new Keurig Kold is. It's 19.25” deep, 12” wide and approximately 15” tall. It's not a good fit for a small apartment because it takes up a lot of counter space. It does have a water tank like the hot beverage Keurig machine, and it uses it's own special pods. To make a cold beverage, take a pod and remove the 'freshness' tab from the bottom. Then insert it in the machine and push the lighted button. It takes about 90 seconds to make an 8 ounce 39 degree (Fahrenheit) carbonated beverage. Surprisingly, carbonation is done by the pod, no gas cylinder is needed. As you'll learn in the video, there is a very wide assortment of drinks available, especially drinks from Coke who helped finance this machine. The mojito I had was great - the pod contains everything but the liquor. I also had a Coke-Zero which is my favorite soda. It was okay, but it did have an after-taste I don't find with bottled or canned Coke Zero. And then there's the price. The machine is $299.00, and the pods are four for about $5.00. That means each 8 ounce soda serving is $1.25. I'm not sure people will pay as much for a 'fresh' soda as they will for a 'fresh' cup of coffee. Time will tell how successful Keurig Kold will be.
