Shares of Green Mountain slid 5% in 2008, but that's materially better than Nasdaq's better-than-40% slide that year. In its fiscal 2008, which ended in September, Green Mountain saw its net sales and earnings soar 46% and 74%, respectively. Pit those results against Starbucks ( NAS: SBUX ), where stateside comps fell 5% during the same fiscal year. Starbucks and Green Mountain are partners now, which means that the next market downturn will give premium coffee drinkers the opportunity to brew Starbucks K-Cups from their Green Mountain single-cup machines. SodaStream ( NAS: SODA ) We're not all java sippers. For folks who prefer root beer to Frappuccinos, SodaStream's portable soda makers will be a popular indulgence. The company's namesake product offers a battery-less appliance that carbonates still water. Folks can then choose between dozens of SodaStream syrups to created flavored soft drinks.
