Maxwell House coffee is changing its name for the first time in 133 years — and there’s a bizarre reason why

Changes are brewing — and they could be a sign of a decline in living standards.

Maxwell House recently announced it will be changing its name for the first time in 133 years, rebranding to “Maxwell Apartment.”

While the coffee blend will remain the same with the same “taste, aroma, quality and ingredients,” the rebrand is in name only to represent the reality of today’s consumers.

Nearly a third of Americans are now renting smaller places, rather than purchasing full-size homes — and the coffee giant wants to reflect that stat with its temporary rebrand.

“Two-thirds of American adults drink coffee every day, which can add up quickly, especially these days,” Holly Ramsden, Head of Coffee, North America at the Kraft Heinz Company, said in a statement, implying that drinking Maxwelll Apartment at home can help consumers save up to buy a house more quikly.

“Maxwell House believes no one should have to go without great tasting coffee and Maxwell Apartment delivers the same delicious taste people know and love, at a value that celebrates all our fans are doing to make smart choices in their lives.”

The American coffee brand is offering a 12-month “lease” of Maxwell Apartment coffee to keep coffee lovers stocked up with a full year’s worth of coffee.

For $39.99, fans can snag four 27.5-ounce canisters of Maxwell Apartment coffee on Amazon. To put it into perspective, just one 27.5-ounce canister of Maxwell House coffee is about $13 on Amazon.

Along with the rebranded canisters, customers will get an official Maxwell Apartment “lease” they can sign.

I sense a future name change to “Maxwell Cubicle”. Probably not that distant, either.

Most workplaces have already switched to Flavia or Keurig, because no one wants to clean out the coffee pot. Maxwell does not have an in with that. Generic "Donut Shop" pods would be more more popular. Maxwell is consigned, nottoapartments, but to Church coffee and donuts run by women who don't like coffee and as instant coffee in auto repair shop waiting rooms who are too cheap for Keurig.

A brand name change and a twelve dollar discount for four giant cans of coffee?   How marketable they are.

Maxwell RV anyone?

Truly stupid. Why give up 133 years of brand recognition?

I never did like their coffee.

That’s what I thought.

If you live in an apartment, you probably do not have room to store a four-pack of the stuff.
