    Smooth, rich, and great flavor

    This coffee exceeded my expectations. The flavor is rich and smooth without being bitter, and it smells amazing as soon as it’s brewing. It has a nice balance—not too strong, not too weak—making it perfect for everyday drinking.I’ve tried it both black and with cream, and it’s great either way.

    A TRULY AMERICAN COFFEE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT FUELED BY DIET COKE LIKE I AM

    Maxwell House Original Roast is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Maybe the most American coffee ever made. People come up to me and they say, Sir, this tastes like FREEDOM. And they are right. Absolutely right.Now I do not personally drink coffee. Everybody knows this. Coffee is for other people. Regular people.
