Good thing I don't drink coffee though I enjoy its daily aroma from S/O's morning cup of java.

So, Proctor and Gambell now owns Millstone? My friend never mentioned that her dad sold the business.

Whoa, I thought Dunkin Donuts contracted with Chock full O nuts.(and A & P )
I don't get the " Folgers isn't 'real' coffee," though.

It's real coffee. But just as some think good wine has a screw top, others prefer certain coffee beans/blends that have been freshly and correctly roasted

Judging by their advertising and packaging, I thought Millstone was always a big, corporate front attempting to get shelf space in the whole bean section of your megamart's shelves. But I guess there are still a few big food brands that are family-run businesses (Smuckers is the example that first comes to mind).

I became a friend of Millstone's founder's daughter at a wedding I photographed. She was one of the bridesmaids. (and one hot teutonic babe too)
Millstone started out as a small local Seattle coffee bean roaster, and just grew. her dad must have sold out and retired, or is running it as a division head.

Folgers is not real coffee. Brown Water that is made from old stale grinds.

"P&G, the largest U.S. roaster, raised Folgers Ground by 10 cents or 4 percent per 10.5 to 13 ounce package equivalent, said Bryan Brown."
It'll go up 30-50ยข in the store.
