Our take on the Maxwell House original medium roast ground coffee

Maxwell House Original is a medium-roast ground coffee sold in a 10.3 oz can, kosher certified and built for drip brewers and percolators. It is a mild, smooth, low-acidity cup rather than a bold or fruity one, and it is aimed at everyday drinkers who want a familiar, uncomplicated pot. Against supermarket rivals like Folgers Classic Roast and Eight O'Clock Original, it sits on the softer, lighter side, and reviewers treat it as dependable budget coffee rather than a specialty bean.
