The Senseo® Coffee System Heats Up With New Red Edition For the Holidays
New Look Comes With Perks Like Bonus Coffee Pods, Stainless Steel Travel Mug and Coffee Pod Canister, All For Under $70
NEW YORK – August 2005 – Beginning in October, America will fall in love with its favorite single-serve coffeemaker all over again. For the first time since its introduction in the U.S. in 2004, the Senseo Coffee System will hit shelves for the holiday entertaining season dressed-up in a vibrant shade of red. The Senseo Red Edition will be sold at the same price as the original machine at $69.99, but includes exclusive perks like coffee pods, a stainless steel travel mug and coffee pod canisters, all valued at $25.
"Whether as a holiday gift, or the centerpiece of festive gatherings this holiday season, Senseo is a natural choice for coffee lovers," explains Tania Haladner, senior brand manager for Senseo. "With the Red Edition now joining Senseo’s other sophisticated color selections, it’s now even easier to brighten up your coffee routine on a budget and rekindle the romance with Senseo."
Changing tastes, smaller households and coffeehouses on every corner all have led U.S. coffee drinkers to demand a better cup of everyday coffee that meets their individual taste preferences. Additionally, the recent post-purchase survey* indicates that 97 percent of consumers like the convenience of pods. Enter Senseo, the single-serve gourmet coffee system that brews one or two cups at a time and allows a different choice of blends on a cup-by-cup basis. This pod-based, push-one-button system is an attractive solution for the coffee lover seeking convenience without sacrificing taste.
"America is warming up to the benefits of single-serve brewing, most importantly its convenience," says John Lombardo, senior brand manager of marketing for Senseo. "Senseo enjoys a privileged, distinguished position in the marketplace by catering to consumers with convenience and the offer of something a little different – the unique frothy coffee layer."
The Senseo coffee sensation began in 2001 when the gourmet in-home coffee system debuted in Europe. Since then, more than 9 million consumers around the world have enjoyed Senseo. The coffee maker combines an integrated brewing system from Philips Electronics with high quality coffee pods from Sara Lee’s Douwe Egberts brand, one of Europe’s premiere coffee brands for more than 250 years, to create a perfect cup of coffee.
Just one year after Senseo hit American shelves in 2004, single-serve pod-based coffee machines sales totaled more than 1 million, a milestone reached quicker than such consumer home electronics success stories as iPod, Blackberry and TiVo. With 450,000 units sold to date, Senseo enjoys the leadership position in market share in the United States and is out-performing its competition in taste and the overall coffee experience. According to post-purchase research*, 95 percent of Senseo consumers are very satisfied or extremely satisfied with Senseo and would give it a positive referral to a friend.
About Senseo
The Senseo coffee maker automatically uses the right amount of water, boiled to a precise temperature and, via the mild-pressure system, gets only the best out of the coffee beans. Senseo’s unique frothy coffee layer locks in both flavor and aroma to give the coffee a velvety, smooth feel and taste.
The Senseo Red Edition will be available in stores in October 2005 at a suggested retail price of $69.99 and will be sold with a special gift pack worth $25 which includes 36 coffee pods, two coffee pod canisters and a stainless steel travel mug. In addition, beginning in the fall, the original three colors -- cobalt blue, black and white – will be available at a special reduced $50 price tag, also making for a convenient gift solution for holiday shoppers on a budget. All Senseo machines are sold at mass merchandisers, specialty retailers and department stores nationwide.
The original four varieties of Senseo coffee pods – building up in strength: Mild Roast, Medium Roast, Dark Roast and a Decaffeinated blend – are available in packs of 18 for a suggested retail price of $3.99 to $4.99 and can also be purchased via the Internet at www.Senseostore.com and www.amazon.com. Paris Vanilla Bistro, Killarney Irish Creamery and Vienna Hazelnut Waltz recently joined the original Senseo gourmet roasts at mass merchandisers, specialty retailers and grocery stores across the nation for a suggested retail price of $3.99 to $4.99 for packs of 16 pods.
