Tassimo and Keurig at Bed Bath and Beyond

Keurig and K Cup display at Bed Bath & Beyond

We've been making our way around several stores lately to see what Tassimo and Keurig have to offer in more brick and mortar environment instead of online. After a recent visit to Bed Bath & Beyond (you can use their store locater here), we were quite surprised to see Keurig and Tassimo back to back in a store offering. Don't get us wrong, it's not odd to see both in the same single serve coffee aisle - or single cup coffee offering area - but it was pretty stunning to see a wall of both T Discs and K Cups in a mid-aisle single serve coffee offering.

The variety of coffees, teas, and other single cup coffee drinks that both Keurig and Tassimo offered was very complete. You'd have a hard time not finding a single serve coffee drink you liked for either system. We'll keep you posted on where and when we find interesting in-store single serve coffee offerings.

In my local Bed Bath & Beyond, the Green Mountain K-cups come with only 18 in the box, instead of the usual 25. I didn't realize this until I got home and emptied the box into my carousel. Some people may not mind the trade off of less K-cups for the convenience, just be aware.

I just went to BBB tonight and saw the same thing Jay described. Tassimo and B60 right next to each other in the middle center rack display. It was pretty cool. They actually had a lot of GM EB selections that we like. Deb, all retail stores carry the 18 packs. NO retail store carries the 25 packs. Only online etailers carry the 24/25 packs. At 9.99/18 packs - 20% coupon at both BBB & LNT, it's actually a very good deal as compared to $10.50 + shipping for 25 packs you find online. I would definitely purchase an 18 pack from BBB or LNT if I suddenly ran out of k-cups.

I have to disagree with this. There are a ton of BBB and LNT stores in Raleigh-Durham (NC) and they all have same uninspiring selection of Gevalia products (thouh the new morning blend from Gevalia is quite an improvment on their standard blend). I have to go to Target (yep, Target) to get some variety, like the surprisingly good Seattle's Best T-discs.

Just an fyi, for future reference, BBB does not allow phototgraphy in its stores. I do not know where or how you obtained photographs, but I hope you got permission first, particularly to post it on line on a non-BBB website. I understand it is not giving BBB bad publicity, but they are very protective of that kind of thing. BBB and LNT are direct competitors, and LNT is in a habit of copying every merchandise tactic BBB has. Too bad they cant copy their customer service
