They were, however, pioneers in this type of brewing and their name and brand are synonymous with quality despite what lists say. Their original strategy aligned their name with quality and as pioneers with a patent, there was nobody to contest their assertions. A big part of their ability to better the taste of the coffee brewed with their machine similar in the way that a barista achieves this freshness by grinding the beans in front of you and pouring scalding water over them immediately. Keurig achieves the fresh taste by grinding beans in a factory, flushing them with nitrogen, and sealing them into airtight capsules. It is known that oxidation is what makes coffee go stale. With their airtight seal, months may pass between grinding and brewing, K-Cup coffee still tastes fairly fresh. (Dzieza, 2014) Even though a single-cup machine is more aesthetically pleasing, what makes it just as appealing is the knowledge that a cup from that brewer is fresh.

Kraft Foods, Inc. pursued an aggressive launch of coffee pods in the United States, but had less than a month to decide whether Kraft should proceed with a similar launch in Canada, or await the U.S. results. However, a Canadian launch withholds several decisions. A suitable branding strategy is necessary, wholesale and suggested retail price for coffee pods, choose which flavors to offer, and decide whether Kraft should use traditional distribution channels or direct-to-store (DSD). Also, the development of an effective advertising and promotion strategy on a relatively limited budget is necessary. From a consultant perspective, Kraft has chosen to pursue the Canadian market. Kraft has chosen a Canadian test market because a test market assumes less risk, less cost, and insightful information regarding the purchase of coffee pods in a foreign country.
