Maxwell House Ground Coffee, Original Roast

Maxwell House Ground Coffee, Original Roast is the familiar medium-roast canister you’ll find in the coffee aisle of most American supermarkets, shelved with other ground and instant coffees and often near tea, creamers, filters and breakfast staples. It reads like an every-morning workhorse: a 10.3-ounce resealable canister promising a consistent, full-bodied cup for routine moments. Occasions for this product include weekday morning routines, weekend brunches with company, and packing into a car for road trips or quick office refills. The brand leans on long-standing Americana — dependable, blue-collar, and unpretentious — appealing to shoppers who want recognizable convenience and a predictable flavor rather than specialty single-origin flair. Marketing plays up ritual and reliability: “breaks,” “reset,” and consistent taste that’s both comforting and functional. Label characteristics are straightforward: ingredient listed simply as COFFEE, without child-targeted graphics, no health-halo superfoods or added vitamins, and no organic or fair-trade certifications on the basic Original Roast packaging. In plain processing terms, this is a single-ingredient roasted and ground coffee product — basic food processing (roast + grind), not a formulated or additive-laden item. Sensory details: expect a medium roast aroma that’s warm, toasted and slightly nutty; the grounds are fine-to-medium depending on the grind, with a smooth but robust brewed mouthfeel and moderate acidity. Packaging is a small metal/plastic canister with a tight lid for pantry storage; the ritual is familiar — scoop, brew (drip, pour-over, French press), inhale the steam and take that first restorative sip. It sits squarely in everyday American grocery culture as the pragmatic, go-to coffee for households seeking consistency and comfort.
