KNOWLEDGE CAFE

No, coffee and instant coffee always are coffee products; we have flavors and decaf which are not natural. Coffee is nothing else than the seed of the coffee plant, which has been roasted and ground. By differences in origin of the coffee, the method of roasting and the blend, Hills Bros.^® get different types of coffee. Nothing is added to decaffeinated, either. Decaf coffee is pure coffee, with the caffeine removed.

Regarding nutritional information for brewed coffee, there are no significant levels of carbohydrates, fats, protein, fiber, vitamins or minerals. There is no cholesterol and no calories. Adding a sweetener and/or a creamer may change the nutritional profile.

Coffee is grown in approximately eighty countries located on four continents between the geographical latitudes of the Tropic of Cancer (to the north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (to the south). Some major producing countries include Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Uganda, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines.

To enhance the coffee experience for our customers, we’ve decided to streamline our single-serve options and focus on Keurig K-Cup pods. Keurig pods allow us to deliver a richer, more consistent flavor profile, thanks to advanced packaging that seals in freshness. They’re also compatible with a broader range of single-serve machines, giving customers more brewing options.

The soft pods are still currently available but will eventually be phased out as they run out of inventory. Any subscriptions for the soft pods will be automatically updated to the Keurig pods.

Switching to Keurig pods comes with several great benefits, including:

• Enhanced flavor with each cup, thanks to improved freshness-sealing technology.
• Quick and convenient brewing with more options to customize your cup size and strength.
• Wider availability in stores and online, making it easy to stay stocked up on your favorite coffee.

We understand that reducing waste is important, and we share your commitment to making sustainable choices. Keurig has made significant strides in recent years to make their pods recyclable. Many of their pods are designed to be recycled after use—just check for the recycling symbol. To recycle, simply peel off the lid, empty the coffee grounds, and place the pod in your recycling bin, where accepted. This way, you can continue to enjoy your coffee while also being mindful of the environment. To learn more, visit Keurig.com/recyclable.

Coffee is a natural product and therefore, to ensure that every pack of coffee gives you consistent taste, flavor and quality, it needs to be blended and roasted. The blending and roasting process requires real craftsmanship and many years of experience to ensure that Hills Bros.^® is the perfect cup of coffee every time.

The green (unroasted) coffee beans are placed into a rotating drum and softened by steam and water. They are then repeatedly rinsed with a decaffeinating agent which removes the caffeine from the beans. Typically 97% or more of the caffeine contained in the green coffee is removed. The caffeine-laden solution is drained away and the beans are steamed a second time to evaporate the remaining decaffeinating agent. Finally, the beans are dried to remove excess moisture from the decaffeinated coffee.

There are about 25 major species of coffee beans within the Coffea genus, but the typical coffee drinker will probably be familiar with arabicas (species Coffea arabica) and robustas (species Coffea canephora var. robusta). Arabica coffee is a high-grown coffee with medium body, good acidity and a mild taste; it is produced primarily in Central and South America. Robusta coffee has good body, moderate acidity and a more aggressive taste; it is grown in tropical regions around the world such as West and Central Africa, Southeast Asia and parts of South America.
