Top 10 Largest Cofey Brands in the World. The Results Will Surprise You!
Number 10: Yuban with $37.4 million in sales.
Yuban is a brand of Kraft foods and touts as being environmentally friendly by helping protect the habitat where cofey is grown. You would think Yuban would hold a decent market share with 37 million in sales, but that only equals to about 1.9% of the market share.
Number 9: Eight O’Clock Coffee with $38.5 million in sales.
Eight O’Clock coffee is actually the only one on this list that I had never heard of, but they hold just under 2% of the entire market share. Back in 2003 the company was sold by A&P to an investment firm. Looks like this is one investment that is paying off!
Number 8: Seattle’s Best with $42.8 million in sales.
Seattle’s Best not only distributes cofee into stores but they also have a large chain of stores through the United States and Canada. Their market share rests right at 2.23
Number 7: Millstone with $43.5 million in sales.
Neck and neck with Seattle’s Best, Millstone beats it out by .01%. This company used to be a privately held company all the way until 1996 when they sold out.
Number 6: Chock full o’Nuts with $44.1 million in sales.
The brand started as a New York store way back in 1932 and evolved into the sixth largest cofee brand with a 2.27% market share. Goofy name, but seriously good cofey.
Number 5: Maxwell House Master Blend with $77.5 million in sales.
This gourmet spin-off of the Maxwell brand is part of the Kraft Foods family, and has a market share of 3.99%. Maxwell House Master Blend has made a giant leap up in yearly sales compared to position number 6.
Number 4: Folgers Coffeehouse with $127.9 million in sales.
An offshoot of the main Folgers brand, the Folgers Coffeehouse series is a gourmet branded coffee. This brand of Folgers holds 6.5% of the market share. I couldn’t help but hum the commercial jingle while writing this post. “Folgers In Your Cup!”
Number 3: Starbucks with $189.2 million in sales.
Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world, but they are the third largest overall coffee brand in the U.S. with a 9.75% market share. And I bet you thought they were number 1?!

The second largest coffee brand, with a market share of 14.5%. Maxwell House was first created in 1892 in Nashville Tennessee hotel, the Maxwell House Hotel. This is now a brand of Kraft foods.

Folgers is way ahead of the others and is the leader with over 21% of the market share. Folgers has managed to become a house hold name and is one of the most recognized cofey creates in the super market. This brand of Folgers is $381.6 million higher in sales each year than the number 10 on the list. There is a very big spread here and they dominate the market. Even Starbucks falls $229.8 million short each year in sales.
