Van Houtte Keurig Coffee Puck Problem

Van Houtte coffee pucks for the Keurig coffee machine can have a manufacturing defect where the coffee filter paper is ripped. I called Van Houtte who admitted the problem existed from February and May of 2011. Van Houtte was really good with their customer service. We estimated the amount of pucks in the box that were defective. They gave us a limited time coupon for an equivalent amount of Van Houtte coffee K-cups of equivalent value ($20). Not a problem... they stand behind their product which is a fresh breaf of air. I can totally understand how this can get away on a manufacturer who is making 2 million of these cups a day-that's just manufacturing. I'm even more impressed that Van Houtte has got what it takes to make it right with 'just one' of its many customers. Well done.
