BELLVUE, Wash. ? Want hot coffee to go with your movie? Soon, you might be able to order a cup while you grab a DVD from Redbox, Bloomberg Business Week reports. Coinstar has started a pilot program with Rubi, a box that grinds Seattle?s Best coffee beans and brews a fresh cup of Joe in a minute.
The company has its eye on the $28.5 billion out-of-the-home coffee market, with an agenda to make inroads into the premium market with coffee offered at drugstores and big-box retailers. ?The coffee market is enormous,? said Ken Redding, general manager for Rubi. ?The market is very much about convenience and desire. We?ve built a platform that can be in arms length of desire.?
The machines will serve around 28 cups daily, with a cup of coffee running $1 to $1.50, and specialty beverages topping out at $2. Those prices will likely appeal to budget-conscious consumers.
Safeway has agreed to host some of the first 50 installations of Rubi. However, none of the stores with Starbucks cafes will have a Rubi. Harris Teeter Supermarkets also is part of the Rubi pilot program.
Coinstar has been working on technology that is similar to a French press for several years. ?American consumers have moved from buying the worst quality in the world to buying among the best coffee in the world,? said Redding, adding that the company might operate up to 15,000 Rubi kiosks one day.

OMAHA, Neb. ? State Sen. Bob Krist said last week that he is planning to introduce legislation in January that would require a public vote on whether to raise the state?s cigarette tax, calling the current approach by City Council ?a misuse? of the city's authority to levy occupation taxes.
Omaha.com reports that the city should be required to seek voter approval before imposing its proposed cigarette tax to help fund a university cancer center.
?A vote of the people is an important part of our obligation to insure transparency at all levels of our government,? Krist said in a letter to City Council.
State Sen. Abbie Cornett called on the Omaha City Council to make sure its projected revenues from the cigarette tax proposal are accurate. If the projections amount to $6 million a year or more, a new state law requires voter approval before the tax could be enacted. She also noted that the city?s occupation tax on restaurants and bars collected about $8 million more than initially projected, reports the news source.
Instead of initially imposing a 7% local tax on gross sales of cigarettes (based on an average per-pack price of $5.10), the City Council is now considering a 4.5% rate to help pay for a proposed $370 million cancer research and treatment center.
?If they're going to do this (cigarette tax), they better make sure the numbers are right,? Cornett told the news source, adding, ?There's been way too much of a spotlight on the city and its occupation taxes.?
Like Cornett, Krist supports the cancer center project, but he believes that the city should find another way to finance its share. His told the news source that his constituents, including convenience store operators, oppose the cigarette tax increase.

OMAHA, NE ? Kum & Go announced earlier this week the launch of its ?Drink good. Do good.? campaign to help support Toys for Tots.
Now through December 7, Kum & Go will donate 5 cents for every hot beverage purchased at its stores, adding a $1 donation (up to $10,000) each time a customer ?checks in? to a Kum & Go store through foursquare. As part of the campaign, the convenience retailer has pledged a minimum contribution of $100,000 to the foundation that provides toys to underprivileged children during the holidays.
"Whether you need a large black coffee on your way to work or a Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino for an afternoon pick-me-up, every hot beverage purchase you make at Kum & Go this fall will help buy toys and books for underprivileged children during the holidays," said David Miller, Kum & Go senior vice president of marketing.
Last year, Kum & Go raised $164,000 for Toys for Tots. And for the past three years, it raised additional money to help the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
"Finding a present under the tree on Christmas morning is an experience every child deserves," said Bill Grein, vice president, marketing and development of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. "Kum & Go has done so much to help us bring that joy to children in need. With their pledge of at least $100,000 for our 2012 campaign, we will be able to fulfill the Christmas dreams of over 10,000 children."
Customers can make additional monetary donations to Toys for Tots at Kum & Go stores, which will also serve as toy collection sites during the holiday season.
Last year, Toys for Tots distributed 15.6 million toys, books and gifts to 7.2 million children.
