    Are these all local roasters? I don’t recognize any of them.

    Edit: How silly of me. I should have guessed that the 100+ “brands” were all the same exact product made by one company.

      Seems midwest-y. I only recognize 2, but there is a St. Louis one and Snapchill is based out of Green Bay WI

        I completely skipped over Snapchill somehow, even though that’s in the beginning of the article and responsible for all of it lol.

        Funny aside, I have not had coffee today!

      There’s contract bottlers that do that for regional breweries and soda companies too. Probably the same with coffee products.

        I know. Most store brands are all the same products. Sometimes my mind drifts into a better world though. One with hope for a brighter future.

      Seems to me like a white label system. Like all the bullshit copypasta Amazon brands, or home appliances like dehumidifiers.

      Yeah at least one is a local coffee chain in my city. They used to be good then opened more stores with lower quality product and staff/ union issues. Not surprised their canned coffee is basically the same as a bunch of others.
