NEW YORK — Making a glass of Coke at home will soon be possible, if you don’t mind paying more than US$300 for a machine that sits on your kitchen countertop. Plus an extra dollar or so per drink.

Keurig Green Mountain says it will start selling a machine Tuesday that makes single servings of cold beverages including Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper and flavoured seltzer waters. The machine is similar in concept to Keurig’s brewers, which let people make cups of coffee and tea by inserting a pod into the machine and pressing a button.

Coca-Cola is betting big on Keurig Kold, too; the world’s biggest soda maker owns a 16.8 per cent stake in Keurig Green Mountain.

Still, it’s not yet clear who will buy the Keurig Kold, which is the size of a very large crockpot. Keurig says the suggested retail price for the machine is US$369.99, but that prices could be as low as US$299 depending on promotions. Each pod will cost between US$1.12 and US$1.25 and make an 8-ounce serving. That means it’s not really a way to save money, since people can buy 2-litre bottles and 6-pack cans of soda for less, on a per-serving basis.
