  „When his son joined the family business in 1780, he expanded it to bring coffee and tea throughout the region. Gradually, Douwe and his descendants built a company that grew to become the Dutch market leader of coffee and tea. Douwe Egberts and Sara Lee Since 1978, Douwe Egberts and Sara Lee Corporation have teamed up to became the second largest coffee roaster in the world.  Sara Lee / DE, based  in Utrecht, The Netherlands, is a subsidiary of Sara Lee Corporation of Chicago.

  „PS Keurig, Douwe Egberts, and other major coffee suppliers ARE marketing directly to the home buyer (maybe not the "true" coffee lover, but a large part of the market is not gourmet). They are making the single cup (pod, k-cup) a viable market. BTW, I have a Keurig brewer and it is very good.“
