Online Coffee Store

There has never been a better time to save on a new Keurig® brewer. Through October 28^th, anyone who purchases a Keurig Vue® or K-Cup® brewer on GreenMountainCoffee.com will get up to $50 off with a mail in rebate. This rebate can also be downloaded by customers who have recently purchased a brewer (online or in a retail store). Add Keurig Brewed® packs and accessories to your order for additional savings. (Café Express® 15% savings and benefits are eligible for purchase.)

We reminisce around the office about those lazy Saturday mornings in winter when everybody sleeps in. About the only thing that can open our eyes (other than the smell of just brewed coffee, of course) is the mouth-watering aroma of buttery French toast and warm Vermont maple syrup.

Yum.

Thankfully, it looks like today may be our new “lazy Sunday morning” because Fair Trade Golden French Toast^® is back for the winter!  The aromas and flavors of our favorite weekend treat are layered in this favorite Fair Trade seasonal flavor and ready to drink. It's all here: the maple aroma, and buttery, golden toasty flavors, warmed with just a touch of cinnamon.

Double yum.

Golden French Toast is here for the winter season, available in K-Cup^® packs for Keurig^® brewers and in bags online and in stores near you, so grab yours today!

Over the weekend we updated the security of the Green Mountain Coffee web site to be up-to-date with the latest PCI (Payment Card Industry) standards. In particular, our web servers will no longer accept SSL 2.0, or data encryption that uses less than 128-bit keys. If that’s Geek to you, that’s okay… what it *means* is that we’re making it so that it’s no longer possible to sign-in, or to check-out of our online store with old, weak security standards. We want to ensure that your personal data is safeguarded.

If you have a late-model web browser (e.g. Firefox 3, IE 6 or 7, Opera 3, Safari 2 or above) there's probably nothing you need to do. Folks with OLDER BROWSERS that don’t support updated security standards may need to upgrade... or at least review the settings in their browsers. You'll be able to shop our web site with any browser, but you won't be able to sign-in, or to check-out unless your browser meets current PCI standards.

Over the jump, I've included instructions on how to upgrade the most commonly used browsers on our web site. Again, you'll need to upgrade only if you're unable to sign in, or checkout of our online store.

1. Open Internet Explorer.

To set your browser SSL version,

1. Open Internet Explorer.
