After initial price cuts on private-label brands, major retailers are now also regularly lowering prices for branded coffee such as Jacobs, Lavazza and others. Lidl, Kaufland and Aldi have already announced or implemented concrete price reductions; examples include Jacobs Krönung (500 g) and Lavazza (1 kg).

The shake-up coincides with Keurig Dr. Pepper's ongoing plan to acquire JDE Peet's and later split into two public companies, which the buyer says would create a global coffee leader and a North American refreshment business. » Więcej na yahoo.com

Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) has received a strategic investment commitment of $7 billion, led by Apollo and KKR, to finance the takeover of JDE Peet’s and the subsequent planned split into two standalone companies.
