Mechanical Mug Mode Creates Green Mountain Created Drink Industry Myth

In the US stock market, there is a company called Green Mountain Coffee (NASDAQ: GMCR), which has become a household beverage brand in the North American market thanks to the single-cup coffee system. Its current market value reached US$19.521 billion, or approximately RMB120.675 billion, which surpassed that of Gree Electric Appliance and Midea Group, all of whom are well-known in China's home appliance industry. It is seven times the sum of the market value of small household appliances leading Jiuyang shares and Supor.

The reason why Green Mountain Coffee is highly respected is that a home-made beverage that is healthier and tastes better represents the direction of development of the beverage industry in the future; secondly, the business model of “razor blade” has accurately hit consumers. Pain points; Third, the single-beverage beverage platform's operating model, which quickly finds partners and grabs market opportunities.

"razor blade" mode to help performance blowout

Initially, Green Mountain Coffee was a little-known coffee bake company. It was founded in 1981 in the American summer resort of Vermont and made money by selling coffee to tourists. In the mature and saturating traditional coffee market, Green Mountain acquired The profit is very limited.

Innovation from Kriegg became an opportunity to reverse the fate of Green Mountain. The founder of the company accurately captured a consumption pain point: "Why must I have a pot of coffee at a time? I only drink one cup at a time." In this idea Driven by it, a Kriging coffee machine that only injects a cup of coffee at one time and its accompanying single-cup beverage K-Cup have emerged.

The so-called K-cup is a container that looks like a paper cup. It has a smaller cup-shaped permeation device that can only penetrate liquids. It is filled with coffee, tea or other beverages and sealed with aluminum foil lids to ensure coffee and other beverages. Fragrance will not be emitted. Consumers only need to put the K cup in the coffee machine and a cup of fragrant coffee will be ready in a minute. The emergence of this way of drinking coffee has changed the traditional experience of consumers.

The K-Cup simplifies the tedious steps of grinding coffee beans and weighing in traditional coffee machines. One cup at a time, and now you can drink fresh drinks. Compared with traditional coffee, the taste difference is not great. In order to prevent other companies from breaking into this market, the Krigk single-cup coffee machine can only be used with the company's patent-pending K-cup.

At the beginning of K cup coffee, only a few small coffee brands joined, and Kriging received royalties from them. At that time, Green Mountain Coffee was one of the partners. In June 2006, Green Mountain Coffee acquired the entire share of Kriging from two-thirds of its previous year's income, totaling US$104.3 million, and obtained its single-cup coffee maker and K-cup business. This transaction became the most important turning point for Green Mountain Coffee. After the acquisition was completed, Green Mountain's business was divided into two blocks: Green Mountain Coffee and Krígle Coffee Machine and its K Cup drink. At this point, Green Mountain Coffee has also completed the transformation of the business model.

The Krigg coffee machine is sold at a cost price. When the coffee machine is sold, it takes a few boxes of K cups of coffee and then counts advertising expenditure. The coffee machine can be said to be a loss-making business. However, once consumers purchase a Kriging coffee machine, Will continue to buy K Cup, Green Mountain's profits come from the constant consumption of K Cup. This is a typical "razor blade" mode. When you buy a razor blade, you need to continue to buy blades to ensure that the razor can be used normally.

Green Mountain Coffee sold coffee machines at a cost price, and then relied on the continuous sale of K-Cup drinks to make money. The transformation of the business model brought huge benefits to Green Mountain Coffee. Prior to the acquisition of Kriging, the compound annual growth rate of the revenue of Green Mountain Coffee was 23.5%. After the acquisition, the compound growth rate of its revenue reached 52.7%.

Rely on internet thinking to catch up

In fact, as early as before the appearance of the Green Mountain K-Cup, the European market already had similar products. Due to their compact size, they were collectively referred to as capsule coffee. According to "Daily Economic News" reporters, Nestle, Bosch and others have their own capsule coffee machines.

Take Nespresso from Nestlé as an example. This coffee machine can only use Nespresso's coffee capsules. Under this closed system, Nestlé owns the absolute pricing power of the product and the price of a cup of Nespresso coffee. It is usually 3 times that of filter coffee.

However, in the traditional capsule coffee machine market, the up-and-coming younger Green Mountain has become the mainstream of the coffee machine market with its unique Internet thinking. The specific approach is as follows: K-cup coffee is not only for Green Mountain's own coffee brand; other coffee manufacturers are only willing to pay Green Mountain 6 cents/cup for the benefit of gold, and can also use K-King patented packaging, in the Green Mountain single cup It is used on the coffee machine. The inclusiveness of this platform has not only attracted the influx of various coffee brands, but also the participation of tea and hot cocoa producers.

The performance is very eye-catching.

In terms of channel expansion, Green Mountain has established a cooperative relationship with Wal-Mart, increased the promotion of Krign coffee makers and Green Mountain coffee products, and the K-Cup category is also more abundant. Latte coffee, hot cocoa and iced tea have been launched. This further expands consumer choice.

Just a year ago, the product was only It is sold at 2,600 supermarkets in the United States.

At the same time, as more and more offices, hotels, and homes in North America purchase Kriging coffee machines, Green Mountain’s market share further expands, and by the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2010, Kriging single-cup coffee machines have become coffee. The boss of the machine market holds a 26.5% share of the top four of the best-selling coffee machines. More and more coffee brands have joined the K Cup headquarters. In 2011, Duncan Doughnut's coffee joined the K Cup. Soon after, Starbucks Coffee and its Taishu Tea also participated in this ecosystem, further consolidating the market position of the Kriegg Coffee Machine and its K Cup.

From the acquisition of the Kriging brand, Green Mountain's revenue has increased 19-fold in seven years, profits have increased 57-fold, and the company's share price has also risen steadily from about $3 in 2006.
