Cioffi on Shoffee - Top NYC Newsradio Station features Shoffee.com in on-air story

Here is a question for our readers in the New York City Metro Area (sorry to the rest of the country, but please read on anyway):

Ever tune into WCBS-880AM to get your morning traffic report, and hear the name of a certain reporter whose name sounds a lot like your favorite place to buy coffee on the web?

Every time we heard the name of WCBS reporter Catherine Cioffi (sounds a lot like Shoffee), we couldn't help but think how great it would be if she could ever do a story on Shoffee.com. Well, this morning, we got our wish.

NEWS RELEASE: Shoffee.com Sees Growing Sales, Even in Tough Economic Climate

At Shoffee.com, we like to make sure you always know what is going on with the company.

Here is the latest release from the Shoffee.com public relations department:

Fairfield, NJ -- Since launching in November 2007, internet coffee retailer Shoffee.com has not had the chance to experience life on the web in a booming economy.

"We've seen the same things as everyone else," said Joe Simonovich, Co-Founder of Shoffee.com. "Although, for us, there seems to be a few things working in our favor."

One of those things is the fact that many Americans are cutting back on everyday luxury items, and at the top of that list are the $3.00 (or more) cups of gourmet coffee they used to enjoy every morning.

"There has really been a switch to at-home brewing," said Simonovich. The mass marketing of at-home, single-cup brewing equipment, like the Keurig has lead the way."

Even though Keurig has been selling at-home brewers for nearly 10 years, the fact that they are now available in places like Macy's, Target, Bed, Bath & Beyond and Walmart has made them more popular than ever.

"This past holiday season, Keurig put a lot of new brewers in homes," said Simonovich. "When people go to a friend's house, and try the coffee, they are ready to buy one themselves."

Shoffee.com offers the full line of Keurig home brewers, ranging in price from $79.95 to $179.95. Shoffee.com also offers a large selection of Keurig K-Cups (coffee that is used with Keurig brewers); more than 190 varieties from companies like Green Mountain, Caribou Coffee, Timothy's, Coffee People and more.

"One of the big misconceptions is that the only people who are using these brewers at home are people who were used to spending $4.00 every morning on Starbucks coffee," said Simonovich. "Our number one-selling coffee for more than a year has been Coffee People's Donut Shop Coffee; I am pretty sure the person buying that used to get their coffee somewhere else."

After the initial investment in the brewer, Keurig users can begin to see the savings almost immediately. This past May, Shoffee.com added the actual cost per cup to the description on each of it's Keurig K-Cups.

"Sometimes we can miss the actual savings when we're buying a single box of coffee for more than 10 bucks," said Simononovich. "When a Shoffee.com shopper looks at the cost-per-cup, and compares that to what they are spending at a coffee shop, they can see the real savings."

Shoffee.com estimates that the average coffee-drinking family can save more than $200 in the first year of owning a Keurig brewer versus the cost of buying their coffee every morning at a coffee or donut shop.

One of Our Favorite TV Guys Loves the Keurig...

For everyone out there who has been a follower of the Shoffee Blog and the K-Cup of the Week and Shoffee on Facebook and Shoffee on Twitter, etc, etc, etc; you know that I am a big New York Mets fan. That's why we were so excited to see this Tweet from one of our favorite on-air personalities, Kevin Burkhardt, at the TV Home of the Mets - SNY TV:

KBurkhardtSNYAnyone have the Keurig coffee machine? It is liquid Heaven in the morning. I mean, push a button and coffee appears in your cup? Money.32 minutes ago from web

Now that's a lot of K-Cups...

(pictured above) Shoffee.com's winner of the Big Box of K-Cups, from our monthly K-Cup Give-A-Way. Congratulations Kathy from Mantorville, Minnesota.

You probably know that last month we started something new at Shoffee.com. We randomly selected one person who placed an order during the month of May, and sent them every extra Keurig K-Cup that we had in our warehouse from the month.

This contest went over so well, we will now be doing this every month. Everytime you place an order with Shoffee.com, you'll be entered to win a huge box of K-Cups just like Kathryn.

Thanks for making Shoffee.com the web's favorite coffee shop.

New Keurig K-Cups at Shoffee.com

Just wanted to let you know that we added two new K-Cups to Shoffee.com:

Timothy's Spanish Sol Keurig K-Cups - Timothy's summer seasonal K-Cup, Spanish Sol, blends anise with other spices to create a mild liquorice-like flavor and balance between the sweetness of anise and the other spices. The seed from the Fennel plant, commonly referred to as Anise, is native to the Mediterranean region and is a culinary component that can be found in root beer, sambuca and ouzo.

Bigelow Organic Rooibos with Asian Pear Keurig K-Cups - These K-Cups marry the distinctively sweet, nutty taste of all-natural, caffeine-free South African rooibos with healthful and delicate Asian Pear for the perfect blend.

Give these two distinctively different K-Cups a try today, Bigelow Organic Rooibos with Asian Pear Keurig K-Cups will be here for a long time but Timothy's Spanish Sol Keurig K-Cups are only seasonal, so get them while they last.

We have another winner...

At Shoffee.com, we love the start of a new month. One of the big reasons is because we get to give away any prizes won in contests from the previous month. 

You probably already know, Shoffee.com gives away a Keurig Mini Brewer (B30) every month to a Shoffee.com customer who posts a review on our site. The winner is chosen totally at random, using Random.org. This month's winner is Bob A. from West Peabody, Massachusettes. Bob posted this review on Green Mountain Southern Pecan Keurig K-Cups:

Thank you to everyone who has ever posted a review on Shoffee.com, not only from us, but from your fellow Shoffee.com customers. Everytime you post a review on Shoffee.com, you tell someone a little bit more about a product, which might help them make a better decision as to whether they want to try it or not - and in times like this, everyone would like to make an informed purchasing decision everytime they shop.

Best of luck to everyone in June, we'll be giving away another Keurig Mini Brewer at the end of that month too...

And the winner of the box of K-Cups is...

Congratulations to Kathryn O. from Mantorville, Minnesota; she is the winner of this assorted box of Keurig K-Cups that was compiled during Shoffee.com's end-of-month clean up. Your big box of assorted K-Cups is on the way Kathryn.

Because of the overwhelming success of this promotion, we're doing it again. For the entire month of June, every time you place an order on Shoffee.com, you'll be entered to win an assorted box of Keurig K-Cups just like the one that we're sending to Kathryn.

Contest: Shoffee.com Spring Cleaning Give-a-Way

At Shoffee.com, we never planned on sending out an email to our customers on the last Friday in May. We know that on a Friday, you have better things to think about than ordering K-Cups, right? Then, while going through the extra K-Cups (from our Mystery Bags, and Free Sampler bags that come with every $75 order), we realized that we have a lot of extra K-Cups. We usually put these in our kitchen, and have office coffee for the next month. 

This month, we're giving our extra K-Cups to one lucky customer:

Simply place an order on Shoffee.com before the end of May (Sunday, May 31 @ 11:59EST), and you'll be automatically entered to win this box of at least 250 assorted K-Cups - that's a lot of coffee. The winner will be chosen from all orders placed between 12:00AM EST on 5/29 through 11:59PM EST on 5/31.

Also remember, there is still time to write a K-Cup review for your favorite product onShoffee.com to be entered to win May's free Keurig B30 Mini Brewer. Good luck.

Note: We have promised the top 10 finishers in our March Shoffice Pool a free Shoffee.com travel mug, these should be in stock, and will ship in mid-June. Sorry for the delay.

Bellaccino K-Cup Line Discontinued by Green Mountain/Tully's

Well, if you are someone who is a fan of the Bellaccino line of flavored Keurig K-Cups that was introduced last year by Tully's (and we know that so many Shoffee.com customers are), this is the post that you have been hoping would never come - Green Mountain has officially discontinued production of the Bellaccino line.

Instead of telling it to you in our words, we're simply going to pass along the official letter we received from Green Mountain just a few moments ago (minus our GMCR rep's phone number, of course - lol):

Thank you for your ongoing support of the GMCR Specialty Coffee Business Unit. Your business is extremely important to us, and we want to reaffirm our company’s continued commitment to you by providing high-quality coffee and service at an exceptional value. 

We are making changes to our product offerings. These changes are designed to maximize your sales, replace slow sellers with higher velocity items and generate consumer excitement through new introductions. 

Attached please find a list of upcoming discontinued coffees from our bulk, packaged, K-Cup®, and fractional coffee lines. We are also providing a list of suggested replacement items. These replacements reflect careful consideration given to roast/flavor profile, sales rate maximization and consumer consumption occasion. Availability on the discontinued coffees will vary by item and while supplies last. 

 

Please contact your Sales Representative or our Call Center with any questions. 

 

Thank you for your business.  As always, we appreciate your support and we look forward to continuing our relationship. 

Here is the full list of discontinued Bellaccino Keurig K-Cups, as well as Green Mountain's suggested replacements:

• Bellaccino Blueberry Cobbler K-Cups (Suggested Replacement)
  
• Bellaccino Cinnamon Stick K-Cups (Suggested Replacement)
  
• Bellaccino Hazelnut Cream K-Cups (Suggested Replacement)

• Tully's Guatemala K-Cups (Suggested Replacement)

Keurig at Walmart - Here's Shoffee's take.

Last week, Walmart and Green Mountain announced that the Keurig Brewing system will now be available in Walmart stores.

I have had people coming up to me non-stop, asking if we are 'worried' now that Walmart has gotten into the Keurig K-Cup business. Actually, at Shoffee.com, we are excited about Keurig brewers being offered in Walmart.

The only thing we are asking is that you, the Shoffee.com customers, will spread the word about Shoffee to all of your friends and family who will now have the Keurig in front of them in their weekly Walmart circular.

So, in order to keep it short and sweet, when your friends say that they saw this great new coffee brewer at Walmart. Tell them you know a place to get the same machine (for a $0.01 cheaper, lol) and a lot more varieties of coffee - Shoffee.com.
