    In looking at our product, Folgers Coffee, a sure way to see where a product is going sometimes is to look at where it has been. In 1992, Kraft’s brand of coffee, Maxwell House, had gained the lead in market share and appeared to be poised to drive a nail in the coffin of Folgers. The obituary for Folgers was premature as Folgers began a marketing campaign that consumers still remember. You can ask almost anyone who makes the “Mountain Grown” coffee and almost all will answer “Folgers”. It took them a year to regain the lead with sales of almost $120 million compared to Maxwell House’s sales of $102 million. (Deveny, 1993)…

    Specialty coffee is a strong and growing industry as its sales continued to grow in both the U.S. and abroad. Specialty consumption increased by more than 48% in the U.S. from 2001 to 2006 and is estimated to be worth $11 billion annually. The increase of specialty coffeehouses from only 500 units in 1991 to 24,000 units in 2006 is a major thrust to this rapid growth. Underlying factors contributing to this increase are credited to development of new quality beverage, an expanding coffee menu, and coffeehouses becoming “the third place” for social consumption. Besides, consumers’ growing interests in specialty and traditional products such as micro-brewed beer, single malt liquor, and organic foods trigger the growth in the industry of specialty coffee, which promises to deliver more authentic, more traditional, flavor, and healthful products. The industry is in a rapid growth stage and expected not to peak until 2015.…
