To celebrate the limited-time rebrand, the company is offering consumers a 12-month “lease” of Maxwell Apartment coffee, which is designed save coffee lovers across the United States money. For less than US$40, consumers can stock their pantry with a full year of coffee to save coffee enthusiasts more than US$1000 annually.

Sucks to not have room for it in their apartments

I'm surprised they can legally call it coffee.

I presumed it was short for “house blend”. The hotel history is arguably more worthy of consumption

Hold on, the coffee was named for a hotel that hosted the KKK before it was even done?

Honestly that deal sounds amazing. My office has a Keurig and pods are stupidly pricey. I bought a coffee maker and probably spend $100 for shitty grinded coffee a year.

Unfortunately, Maxwell House gives me headaches.
