TIM HORTONS $51.37 (Toronto symbol THI; TSINetwork Rating: Average) (905-845-6511; www.timhortons.com; Shares outstanding: 154.9 million; Market cap: $8.0 billion; Dividend yield: 1.6%) aims to take advantage of fast-growing interest in home coffee systems.

Under a new agreement, Kraft Foods and Tim Hortons will make and sell plastic cups, called T-Discs, filled with Tim Hortons premium blend coffee, including decaf and latte, and sealed with a foil top.

Kraft’s Tassimo beverage machine pierces the foil and brews a fresh single cup. The Tassimo system also scans a barcode on the T-Disc that tells it how much water to use, how long to brew the coffee and how hot it should be.

Tim Hortons is a buy.
