NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- K-Cup king Green Mountain Coffee Roasters missed Wall Street's revenue expectations by a wide margin with its fourth-quarter results.

Despite growing the top line by more than 90% on a year-over-year basis, Waterbury, Vt.-based Green Mountain's revenue total of $711.9 million for the quarter was more than 6% below the average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters for revenue of $760.5 million.
