Lots of zeros mentioned here in the big end of the coffee roasting market. Claims of stock price manipulation and other skulduggery here too http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/08/us-greenmountaincoffee-idUSTRE7A669C20111108

Part of it is about a lump of $4mill paid by a state in the USA to get Green Mountain to set up a plant. There is some very interesting court cases and deals being done amongst the large coffee entities in the US. Private Equity - K Cup - Starbucks etc. So coffee on a different scale I guess.  Oh and no nothing about the coffee or the roasting quality.
