Which coffee brands are made in Canada?

7 of the 10 top coffee brands we scored are made in Canada, across 20 products on fyiCanada. Brands with the strongest Canadian roots come first, so a famous name with weak Canadian ties doesn’t get the top spot. How the fyiCanada score works.

Other coffee brands scored by fyiCanada

These 3 brands are popular in Canada but score lower on fyiCanada’s Canadian score, because they’re foreign-owned, made elsewhere, or both.

1. Folgers

0/100 · Imported

Head office in New Orleans, LouisianaFounded 1850

Folgers started in San Francisco in 1850 and joined The J.M. Smucker Company in 2008. The official FAQ says Folgers beans are roasted, ground and packaged at facilities in the United States, and the history page calls New Orleans the home of its largest plant. Nothing in those pages points to a Canadian roast.

Ultimate parent: The J.M. Smucker Company
Manufacturing: United States
Ingredient origin: Coffee beans from more than 20 countries

2. Maxwell House

7/100 · Imported

Head office in Chicago, IllinoisFounded 1892

Maxwell House is an American coffee brand. Kraft Foods Group Brands LLC, a Kraft Heinz subsidiary, owns the trademarks, and Kraft Heinz roasts the coffee in the United States before exporting some of it to Canadian grocery shelves. The beans themselves are imported into the US, so neither the roast nor the ownership is Canadian.

Founded 1896

Nabob started in Vancouver in 1896 and Kraft Heinz sells it as a Proudly Canadian grocery coffee. Kraft Heinz owns the brand. No official Kraft Heinz page, and no pair of independent news sources, names a current roast plant, so manufacturing is left unevidenced rather than taken from retailer copy.
