As is typical for over-valued, high-expectation growth stocks, a small miss is devestating to the Wealth and well-being of shareholders.

Is GMCR worth a look at half-the-price: Worth a look, perhaps, not yet worth buying. -- Starbucks(SBUX) <my cost = $8/share> even at today's price is a better "Speculation". The novelity and outragious expense of single-cup coffee service is simply not compelling for consumers.

For my money, I will buy expensive, 100% Kona coffee from my source in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Have been purchasing their coffee first by mail then over-the-Internet since April 1994. First at $6 per pound delivered, currently at $25 per pound delivered free by Express Mail.
