What Company Produces Millstone Coffee Pods?
Millstone, which was founded in Everett, Washington, began life more than 25 years ago. The company was the pioneer of the idea of selling whole, un-ground coffee beans to retailers, which is pretty ironic since they're very well known for single serve coffee pods nowadays, which is about as opposite of whole beans as you can get. Although the original owner still runs a coffee company in Everett, now called Cascade Coffee Company, he sold the majority of Millstone, along with the name, to Proctor and Gamble in 1996. The names Folgers and Millstone were put together and spun off to create The Folgers Coffee Company. Later in the same year, The J.M. Smucker Company merged with The Folgers Company, although all of the labels have been retained.
