Cold beverages are coming to Keurig. The company unveiled its cold-beverage system — dubbed Keurig Kold — at the Consumer Analyst Group of New York conference. The counter-top system uses pod-based technology to create cold beverages, such as soda.
Keurig Kold will offer cold drink pods from Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper Snapple Group, as well as from its own brands. The beverages will be chilled to 38 degrees Fahrenheit and will not require a CO2 canister for preparation.
In May 2014 Coca-Cola raised its stake in Keurig Green Mountain to 16 percent and became its largest shareholder. Food Dive reports that Coca-Cola helped create the machine.
The machine is expected to launch in fall 2015.
