Water Footprint Results
Our water footprint indicates that we are not a large direct consumer of water for our brewers and coffee products.
In fact, the Keurig® brewing system uses “local water” from the tap and only the amount of water that will be
consumed, thus enabling consumers to conserve water as part of their daily routines. Portion-specific brewing helps
consumers avoid wasted coffee (and water) from the bottom of the pot. Specifically, brewing coffee with the
Keurig® hot platform could save an estimated 6.6 gallons 2 of embedded water (or about 105 cups) when considering the
water required to grow, process, and brew the coffee beans for an 8-ounce cup, compared with brewing a full pot of
coffee (assuming 15% wasted coffee per brewed pot).
