Coffee brands in the U.S.
In 2020, Folgers produced over one billion U.S. dollars’ worth of sales in the United States, making it the leading brand of regular ground coffee by a significant margin. Total sales numbers generated by private coffee labels amounted to some 424 million U.S. dollars. Folgers Coffee was first introduced in 1850, and by 2020, had the largest ground coffee market share in the United States. The coffee giant was followed by other well-known brands, such as Maxwell House, Starbucks, and Dunkin’ Donuts.
Arabica vs. Robusta
In the commercial coffee industry, there are two main types of coffee species: Arabica and Robusta. Coffee beans of the Arabica variety are slightly larger, produce a smooth and aromatic taste, and are the most commonly produced coffee bean variety: in 2023/24, just over 97 million bags (60 kilograms each) of Arabica coffee were produced worldwide. Robusta beans are generally smaller and rounder, cheaper to cultivate, and taste quite bitter. Just over 74 million bags of this coffee type were produced during the same marketing year.
