We live in a world full of choices today and nowhere is that more apparent then when shopping for coffee. Not so very long ago, consumers had very few options when it came to coffee. The two main brands were Maxwell House and Folgers, and it was rare to find any other choices on the coffee aisle. Thankfully, that has all changed.
Consumers can find a wide range of coffee brands right in their local grocery store. Some of these are the result of restaurants or coffee specialty shops marketing their brands of coffee, as both Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts do.
One brand that has endured for more than 70 years is Chock full o'Nuts. This coffee originally began as a store in New York City in 1932 and by 1955 was the best selling coffee brand in New York. It remained largely unknown outside of New York until 2001, when it became the official coffee of The New York Yankees, and the only coffee to be served at Yankee Stadium. Today, it commands a significant market share across the country.
An emerging trend in coffee brands recently has been the increase in fair trade and environmentally friendly coffees. Many brands, such as Yuban, actively work to promote both environmental concerns in the regions where the coffee is grown, as well as ensuring that coffee farmers are paid a fair price for their product. In addition, many brands such as Green Mountain Coffee are offering a large selection of organically grown coffee.
Whether you are searching for a restaurant brand, an old favorite, or a fair trade certified coffee, there are more choices than ever when it comes to selecting the perfect coffee brand.
